For what reason would I need to "defend" anyone ? Let alone Rick Santorum ?

Why....see, this is the problem...you are a Democrat first and an American, maybe 2nd. You see life and politics through ONLY Democrat party eyes.

I see issues that face the country...I have opinions on anyone in politics but I surely have no need, nor desire to defend anyone

You, WRONGLY, make the assumption that anyone who opposes this President has got to be a Republican like you are a Democrat...BLIND to what is going on.

I oppose this President because he is bad for this country. I do not support anyone in this primary, but gotta tell you....if they were Independents rather than Republicans, they would all be better than this man in the WH right now.

Again, WHY WOULD I NEED OR WANT TO DEFEND RICK SANTORUM ? Please tell me and then go back to your failed accusations where you get responses and then just leave.
