With President Obama being the Democratic Presidential nominee for 2012, I decided to wait until after the Super Tuesday elections to see who would become the Frontrunner for the Republican GOP. Well, Super Tuesday has come and gone and there still is not one candidate that has surpassed the others in a “hands down” type of fashion. So, I’ve decided to finally do my own research to determine where the top two candidates stand on specific issues. I am in no way endorsing one candidate over the other (Although I do like Mr. Santorum’s first name).
The information listed below is my feeble attempt to wade through all of the political mumbo-jumbo and shed some light on issues that seem to be important in my circle of friends and colleagues.
Here are my novice findings:
Mitt Romney
Age: 64
Religion: Mormon
Income Source: Private Equity Investor
Politics: Mass. Gov. 2003-2007
Health Care: Signed Mass. Healthcare Reform
Military: In favor of increasing the size of our military
Environment: Achieve energy independence by researching alternative fuels
Abortion: Pro-life
Gun Control: Supports 2nd Amendment rights (Does not support gun control)

Rick Santorum
Age: 53
Religion: Catholic
Income Source: Lawyer

Hope this helps…
