(CNSNews.com) – Following his clean sweep in Tuesday’s nominating contests in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri on Tuesday, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum sent his supporters a letter, making the case that he is the true conservative in the race.
“Before I try and get some sleep, I had to sit down and write you this letter,” Santorum wrote. The letter, which included a request for donations, was emailed around 2:30 a.m.
Santorum mentioned Ronald Reagan, who lost eight primaries in the 1976 presidential bid but made it all the way to the nominating convention. It took Reagan a few more years to become the Republican presidential nominee, but Santorum is hoping for a different outcome.
“I can beat Mitt Romney and then President Obama with the kind of conservative ideas that you support,” Santorum said.
“Conservatives face a choice now,” Santorum wrote. “It’s a ‘time for choosing’ for us. Will we choose another Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, or John McCain? Or will we choose a Conservative standard bearer to inspire our party and America along with it?”

Santorum is a bigger War Monger than MITT and NEWT. Another internationalist CFR big spending phoney.
That is why he is acceptable to the banksters. He will keep us in the midle east quagmire for ever, as all the other presidents have.
Ron Paul is our last chance to end the never ending waste of lives and $$$$.
END THE FED Vote RON PAUL
