Rick Santorum — The Servant

Rick Santorum — The Servant.

I know I don’t normally post about politics on this blog, but I do have a new page in the upper right-hand corner where I lay out my reasons for supporting Senator Rick Santorum for president. We don’t have to agree on that choice to get along and continue to read/follow each other’s blogs. However, I came across this article today that really sums it up and I wanted to share it with you.

I commented on the author’s post acknowledging that there are characteristics in each of the other three men on the ballot that would compel me to select their name on the ballot against Obama come November. But it would be the same as any other election: I would be voting for the “lesser of two evils” (in my opinion).

This election can be different. This time, I FINALLY have an opportunity to support a candidate because I truly believe that he is the best man for the job. In Rick Santorum, not only do we have a man who is intelligent; supports Israel, understands our immigration problems, truly supports job creation and manufacturing in America, and so on; but we also have a man who is principled. He doesn’t just believe things, he LIVES them. He is a man of conviction.

Anyway, back to this article. The author takes a look at each of the four remaining candidates and assigns a one-word description to each. I’ll let you read the article to see how he categorizes the other three, but I agree with him. His one word description of Rick Santorum is Servant. How appropriate! Santorum has been quoted saying that he is not running to be the most powerful man in the country, but he is running to restore that power to the people – where it belongs. A servant. He wants to serve America and her people. He cares for people – even the poor, especially the poor. He is a man of conviction.
