I'm sure he believes alot of that (if not all of it), but he went purposely overload with his rhetoric because from all reports, Mittens is outspending him 30-1, so you gotta fight that Death Star attack some how.

It also keeps the topic on the culture war, and not on his Congressional record that Mittens is relentlessly pounding on, because Mittens can't fight him on that front.

Of course flipside, alot of that rhetoric can backfire even with primary voters. I mean asserting that pre-natal testing causes abortion? That's a little much to say the least.
