Santorum represents much of what the Tea Party purports to oppose ...
Those that take the Tea Party’s anti-government rhetoric seriously will remain with Ron Paul, in many ways Santorum’s opposite. The difference between them isn’t really about social issues: Paul, after all, also wants to ban abortion, and supports the rights of states to ban gay marriage and impose prayer in schools. But he does believe that the growth of federal government power is a problem whether Republicans or Democrats hold the presidency. Santorum, by contrast, just wants more power for people who agree with him.
