NEWSWEEK: What are your thoughts on the GOP senators who have recently spoken out against Bush on the war?
Rich Santorum: I’m 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’t understand why we’re in it. They don’t 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, have decided to join the other side and abandon ship. I think that’s absolutely irresponsible and will come back to haunt us as a party.

But aren’t they merely listening to their constituents, who by and large want a change in America’s Iraq policy?
Constituency always plays a role. The question is how much of a role? From my perspective, I listened very intently to the folks of my state but ultimately I did what I believed was of the best interest for my state and country. And I lost because of it. I’m sure all of these members are hearing it. People are not happy with the war, period … There are lots of reasons for frustration, but that does not excuse poor policy.

...

As a matter of principle, should these senators who have now spoken out about the need to wind down America’s involvement in Iraq, vote to defund the war?
I don’t think they want to or will do that. All of this talk is harmful. The enemy understands. They read NEWSWEEK and watch CNN and Fox News and they know what’s going on over here. And they continue to do what they are doing and they believe America will eventually tire and run.

...

Care to make news and endorse any Republican candidate for president?
I’m keeping my powder dry at this point in time.

But George Allen came out in support of Fred Thompson. Do you wish to do the same?
I’m not going to join the chorus.

And thank their version of Allah every day for the great gift of George W Bush & the GOP.

Everybody knows that you don't learn anything watching FoxNews. Unlike Santorum, the enemy is too smart to watch that.

This guy got elected in the first place how, exactly? Did he feel that once elected, he could vote his religious convictions to the detriment of his constituency, and not answer for it?

His lack of basic political intelligence is almost breath-taking.
