Why Rick Santorum should be our President

While most people will probably talk about the politics of the candidate they like, and why they agree with all of their policies, I’d much rather talk about the candidates as people. First, you have Mitt Romney. Sure, he seems like a strong candidate, but there’s one thing about him that everyone seems to be forgetting: he’s Mormon. Everyone agrees (except for Mormons) that Mormons are far too nice. There’s nothing wrong with trying to be kind to others, but when you’re the President of the United States, you have to be mean sometimes. Next, there’s Newt Gingrich. Just like Romney, he seems like a strong candidate, and I believe he would be a very strong President. But would he be too strong? John F. Kennedy was also Catholic, and he got away with calling himself a jelly doughnut (“Ich bin ein Berliner!”). I believe he did amazing things for our country, but if he can so easily recover from such a hysterical verbal faux pas, there’s too much power there. If our next president accidentally calls himself a chili dog, he should be publically made fun of for at least a few years. Kennedy clearly proves that having the support of the Catholic Church (which Gingrich is sure to have) gives the President too much power. Therefore, I will not be voting for Newt Gingrich. And then there’s Ron Paul. Need I say much about him? We all know he’s nuts. I said I would talk about the man and not his politics, but in Ron Paul’s case, I’ll make an exception. Times change, the weather changes, people change their clothes, Obama ran on a platform of change, and everyone loves loose change; the only thing that hasn’t changed is Ron Paul’s politics. We didn’t like them ten years ago, why should we like them now? And Obama? How many promises has he made? How many has he kept? He’s way too nice like Romney. Like Ron Paul, his policies are insane; our health care system is most definitely flawed, but it is also the best in the world, and to want to change it is clearly not sane. Therefore, the only logical choice is Rick Santorum.
