Journalist Brian Williams quizzed Presidential candidate Rick Santorum at the debate last night on how he reconciles being Catholic which means he should care for the poor with being a dirty filthy Republican who doesn’t think Big Government is the answer to everything. (I’m paraphrasing.)

Insert Santorum home run here. His final line is awesome. He says he wants to limit government “not to save money but to save people’s lives.” For me, it was the best moment of the debate.

Update: A column in National Review by Jim Lacey touches on a similar subject asking why liberals are assumed to have the moral high ground when their policies seem to destroy lives everywhere its tried. It’s worth a read.
