Tema: Opinions on Rick Santorum

Iniciado por Annuit Coeptis

Milesian,
As an aside, have you heard of Marco Rubio? He's another favorite Catholic politician in the U.S.

I have heard of Marco Rubio. He has some good ideas but his foreign policy is hawkish and neo-conservative. Its been rumored that Mitt Romney would nominate Rubio as his vice presidential pick which is interesting because Rubio was baptized as a Mormon when his family moved from Miami to Las Vegas when he was a child. Now he claims to be a practicing Catholic however he is extremely involved in a mega-church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. He's either walking in two different shoes or being purposefly nebulous about his religious beliefs.

I followed up my initial question with some more reading on him and, as you say, his religious beliefs are questionable- on purpose perhaps?

He's either having an internal conflict or he's just trying to please everyone in his constituency.

I'd say that the latter is more likely, given what is universally known about U.S. politicians.

It's increasingly looking like Mitt the Mormon is going to be the Republican nomination for President and there's been some strong speculation that Rand Paul, Ron Paul's son, will be his running mate.

Santorum's campaign has just announced that he's dropping out of the presidential race.
