Conservative Activist and Radio Host Ed Morrissey Endorses Rick Santorum for President

LEADING CONSERVATIVE BLOGGER & ACTIVIST ED MORRISSEY ENDORSES RICK SANTORUM FOR PRESIDENT
 
Verona, PA - On his widely read blog at HotAir.com, leading conservative activist and radio host Ed Morrissey endorsed Rick Santorum for President - citing Santorum's promotion of the conservative agenda, "personal integrity that outshines the rest of field," and campaigning as a conservative.

My Choice: Rick Santorum

By: Ed Morrissey, HotAir.com

http://hotair.com/archives/2012/02/05/my-choice-rick-santorum/?partner=skygrid

... Very early in the process, I promised Hot Air readers that I would disclose my choice for President in the primaries when I had fully made up my mind. Just as I did four years ago, I didn't fully make up my mind until shortly before the caucus. Last time I caucused for Romney; this time, if I had the opportunity, I would caucus for Rick Santorum...

... Why Santorum? In my estimation, Santorum is the last consistent conservative standing, and the only one both promoting the conservative agenda and campaigning as a conservative in the race. That doesn't make Santorum perfect; he lacks the executive experience I'd like to see, and some of his positions in the past and present give me pause. However, compared to the heterodoxies of his competitors in the GOP race, Santorum has a superior record on promoting conservative policies and values.

Even more than that, though, Santorum has demonstrated a level of personal integrity in this race that outshines the rest of the field. Santorum has campaigned with blue-collar Reagan Democrats in mind, pushing for an economic plan that would revitalize manufacturing and small business. He could easily have tipped over into class-warfare populism while Gingrich and Romney bashed each other over their work at Bain and Freddie Mac in order to ingratiate himself with that sector by playing on latent envy. Instead, he defended capitalism and both of his competitors on the campaign trail more effectively than either could defend themselves. In contrast, Romney keeps demonstrating a lack of fluency in conservative politics and philosophy, while Gingrich has conducted a personal, angry campaign that threatens to reinforce every negative stereotype about conservatives, both at times putting themselves and their ambitions above the party they seek to lead.

In the general election, I want to beat Barack Obama and send him into a prosperous retirement with his family. In the primary, I want a party leader who demonstrates the kind of integrity and consistency that only Santorum has shown. He worked hard for my vote, and I only wish I could be in the state to cast it on Tuesday.
