Cruising Santorum's Website...

Gosh what a kook. On the same page (http://www.ricksantorum.com/iran) he both claims credit for helping bring the US military out of Cold War mode and proposes fully funding and building a missile defense system to address concerns of a nuclear-capable Iran. Just a zample. I kinda hope that he wins the primaries...
I don't know why I'm frustrating myself with this tomfoolery, not just Santorum but prez politics in general. I feel once again I'm being compelled to vote for the less-wack of my wack options regardless who ends up on the Republican ticket. Ron Paul's consistent voting record and disdain for war and the Federal Reserve are enticing but he's not without unsavoriness... Obama is a smart man and a good symbol for particular causes and cases but is very obviously indebted to powers beyond those of the American citizenry or the Constitution, which he swore to uphold, and has made too many compromises to inspire an enthusiasm towards his reelection.
I think that most Americans, myself included, have no idea day to day what their elected officials are doing or in whose best interest it's being done.

I pay way more attention to US politics than I should, or is healthy.
