Since Rick Santorum started saying bad things about him. Now Satan seems to be the Democrat's biggest ally:
The secular media hounds (as well as GOP rivals) have framed Rick Santorum as a THEOCRAT! — and they’ll say and do anything to lock him in. He’s a God nut! A GOP mullah! He’s coming after your birth control! He “plays” with dead babies! He’s obliterating the wall between church and state! Run for your lives!Michelle Malkin
While the headlines trumpet Santorum’s 2008 remarks about Satan (gasp! a man who believes in God also believes in the devil! shocker!) and stir up anti-religious bigotry, Santorum has been zeroing in on the White House messiah’s destructive government policies.

Thomas Sowell Attacks the "Fairness" Fraud
Even if additional tax revenue all went to poor single mothers --
which it will not -- the multiple problems of children raised by poor
single mothers would not be cured by throwing money at them. Indeed, the
skyrocketing of unwed motherhood began when government welfare programs
began throwing money at teenage girls who got pregnant.
Children born and raised without fathers are a major problem to society and to themselves. There is nothing "fair" about increasing the number of such children.

Sarah Palin Comes to Santorum's Defense Against Liberal Attacks
"They will attack any conservative who boldly proclaims their faith and
talks about there is good in the world and there's evil in the world and
that's what Rick Santorum was talking about. And this was a speech that
he gave back in 2008 where he named evil as Satan. And for these
lame-stream media characters to get all wee-weed up about that, first
you have to ask yourself, 'Have they ever attended a Sunday school class
even? Have they never heard of this terminology before?" And that's why
they got so, you know, just whacked out about the speech," Sarah Palin
told Sean Hannity on FOX News tonight.

He added that mainline Protestantism in this country “is in shambles. It is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it.”

Gingrich's Sugar-Daddy is an Abortionist, Against Santorum
Mr. Adelson doesn’t oppose Mr. Santorum, but he doesn’t share the former Pennsylvania senator’s socially conservative positions, including his strong antiabortion views, associates said. Mr. Santorum was one of only two Republicans who didn’t meet with Mr. Adelson in October around the time of a candidates’ debate in Las Vegas, according to a person familiar with the matter.Via Campaign Spot
Though he isn’t yet switching allegiance, Mr. Adelson is thought to be comfortable with Mr. Romney as the ultimate nominee, friends said. The two men met before the Feb. 4 Nevada Republican caucuses, according to a person familiar with the matter. That person described the meeting as a “warm” one.

“Among the field of strong pro-life candidates in the GOP primary, one stands out as a proven leader in this great human and civil rights cause of our time. Rick Santorum communicates the vision and has exhibited the strategic and tactical prowess the pro-life movement must have in order to succeed. Women and children deserve his leadership, grounded as it is in affirming the dignity of every person. At this inflection point in the primary process and a tipping point in history on the abortion issue, the Susan B. Anthony List endorses Rick Santorum for the Republican nomination for President,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of SBA List.Via Campaign Spot

Crowe Robles, 45, president and CEO of Tucson Embedded Systems, a firm that specializes in developing hardware and software for the aerospace, defense and commercial industries, is a political newcomer who also considered running for the Senate seat held by Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who is retiring.

Steven Kurlander: Jewish voters won't abandon Democratic Party, but they will Obama
***
Are American Jews really turning Republican? According to a recent study, Republicans are building a once unimaginable strength among traditionally Democratic Jewish voters.
A Pew Research Center analysis indicated that "Jews" who support or lean Republican shot up 9 points from 2008 to 29 percent in 2011, while those supporting or leaning Democratic fell from 72 percent to 65 percent. While this trend mirrored a corresponding rise in popularity of Republicans among every other religious group, the Jewish increase was most significant.
