Walter Shapiro gives Rick Santorum’s book, It Takes a Family , a very close read and concludes Santorum is a paradox. “On one level, he is a thoughtful conservative, wearing his erudition on his sleeve, bragging in his book about working with Senate Democrats (even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton) to sponsor legislation that tried to achieve liberal goals through conservative institutions like the church and traditional families. But then, a few pages later, Santorum goes all fire and brimstone as he writes: ‘Conservatives trust families and the ordinary Americans that are formed by them. Liberals don’t. They border on disdain for the common man.’”
