Rick Santorum?

We saw this at Ace of Spades and, as he notes, the source of the clips is not entirely clear.  But it certainly doesn't conflict with anything we're read about Santorum:

Santorum is the Anti-Mitt du jour, and the rap on him is that he's a "Big Government Conservative." Jennifer Rubin thinks that's nonsense:

First, Santorum is to the right of Perry in some important ways. Santorum opposed the Troubled Assets Relief Program; Perry wrote a letter on the day of the Senate vote urging Congress to pass legislation to avert a meltdown. Santorum, as we saw in the debates, is likewise to the right of Perry (and Newt Gingrich, for that matter) on immigration.

Indeed, Santorum’s supposed deviations from conservative orthodoxy are similar those of his rivals. He voted for earmarks and highway funds. Gov. Perry took the money. Santorum voted for Medicare Part D; Gingrich lobbied for it, and Perry said in a debate that he wouldn’t repeal it.

And finally, Santorum has put together an aggressive spending reduction plan. He’s for the balanced-budget amendment. He’s embraced Rep. Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform plan. He’s in favor of Social Security reform, against energy subsidies, for privatizing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and in favor of repealing Obamacare. The guy is no liberal when it comes to spending taxpayer money. Is he to the right of Gingrich? Yes. To the left of Ron Paul? Yes. But so are most GOP voters.

What Santorum “lacks” is the bomb-throwing rhetoric and contempt for government that oozes from Perry. He doesn’t suggest that the Fed chairman is a traitor. He’s not planning to arrest judges like Newt Gingrich. He’s not advocated a goofy scheme to devolve Social Security to the states. He didn’t urge Congress to refuse to raise the debt limit. In a word, he doesn’t disdain governing.
