Is Rick Santorum As Conservative As He Seems?

  I rated Rick Santorum on the Conscious Conservative Scale (see earlier posts).  It appears that Mr. Santorum scores:

55 points -- Moderate

Rick appears to favor a free labor force and ending the Estate Tax.  He seems to favor a Progressive Income Tax and the Federal Reserve.  Santorum has spoken against the infamous Kelo decision.  However, Rick Santorum favors the Patriot Act, waffles on the issue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and supports all sorts of  government meddling in personal issues.  Rick Santorum is more conservative than Mitt Romney and slightly more conservative than Newt Gingrich, but he can't really be called A Conscious Conservative.
