The GOP's intraparty war in Iowa

Brian English, head of the Iowa Family Policy Center.

"I'm not sure infighting is strong enough to describe what's happening in Iowa.

The economic guys are saying, 'You need to get over it,' and those of us who are in politics primarily because of social issues don't want to compromise those. There's a real effort to purge and downplay the social issues."

The context for the quote is (fittingly) a report on Rick Santorum's trip to Iowa.
