Let me tell you, it’s getting harder to find the backbone on the elephant, but Senator Rick Santorium shows what many, many in the GOP should need to learn. It’s not what you say, it’s what you really believe. In an interview with Newsweak, he lays into those cowardly RINOs who the media is now covering with orgasmic glee:

“With growing unease on the right about prolonged U.S. engagement in Iraq, the White House is finding it more difficult to find defenders of its policies. But in an interview with NEWSWEEK‚Äôs Sam Stein, former GOP senator Rick Santorum criticized his former colleagues who have broken with their commander in chief. After losing his seat last fall, Santorum became a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington think tank dedicated to applying ‚ÄúJudeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy.‚Äù He‚Äôs also writing a book on radical Islam and global terrorism. Excerpts:

NEWSWEEK: What are your thoughts on the GOP senators who have recently spoken out against Bush on the war?
Rich Santorum: I‚Äôm very disappointed that my colleagues are, I think, bowing clearly to the political pressure of the moment that is out there across America. Americans are frustrated with the prosecution of this war. They don‚Äôt understand why we‚Äôre in it. They don‚Äôt see any reason to continue the fight and instead of going out there and arguing more clearly than the administration has to this point, and putting this in the proper perspective for the American public, [the Republicans] have decided to join the other side and abandon ship. I think that‚Äôs absolutely irresponsible and will come back to haunt us as a party.”

Before, the difference between the us and them was that they – meaning liberals – would say anything to get elected, swaying in the polls like the weak pieces of crap they are. Those RINOs who have come out and said basically the same thing they’ve been saying all along are media darlings get all the bullet quotes.

Know this that it’s a promise that we will sweep them from office over the coming years as we begin to “cleanse the party of the so-called “moderates”, or “liberals in hiding”.

It’s a long time coming.

The largest problem with the GOP over the last ten years has been because we let outselves – for the sake of votes – get infiltrated by these literal “wolves in sheeps clothing”, who incidently ran in their particular campaigns as hardcore conservatives, only to backtrack once they got the job.

Pete Santorium shows that he is a man who says what he believes even if it will cost him the job because what he believes is the right thing to believe in. The Hagels, Domenicis, McCains and other fakers haven’t a clue what this type of character is and say only what they say because they lust for the limelight of Hardball or Meet the Press.

There is no revolt, it’s a cleansing and a revealing of who these RINOS really are, not only as politicians, but as to their character as well.

So let them rant and threaten to “pull their support“. If we lose in Iraq and withdraw the loss is on them. In fact the blood of every single soldier who has sacrificed themselves for freedom is on them.

And we will remember them for that and that alone.
