Santorum vs Reagan on the Libertarian Influence in the Republican Party

THIS HAS COME UP ON THE RADIO AND TO THE FRONT OF DISCUSSION. THIS IS A RE-POST WITH UPDATED INFORMATION INCLUDING LINKS TO THE RICK SANTORUM VIDEO. SEE THE VIDEO AT http://www.jasonlewisshow.com/2012/02/santorum-vs-reagan/




Before showing the quote on Rick Santorum I wanted to give the definiton according to dictionary.com of what a libertarian is

lib·er·tar·i·an/ˌlibərˈte(ə)rēən/

Noun:
  1. An adherent of libertarianism.
  2. A person who advocates civil liberty.
and again from thefreedictionary.com

1. One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
2. One who believes in free will.

Now what Rick Santorum says regarding the libertarian influence within the Republican Party.

 “I fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican Party and the conservative movement.”
(SEE THE VIDEO AT http://www.jasonlewisshow.com/2012/02/santorum-vs-reagan/)

A famous Conservative named Ronald Reagan once said this regarding the same topic

If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism …The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

Case closed Rick Santorum is scared of civil liberty influencing the Republican Party.
Case closed I will not vote for him and won't even think about it again.
He has put a nail in his coffin of my potential vote. I will write in a candidate or vote 3rd party before I vote for Santorum.
