The entire Iowa fiasco has become a spectacle of stupidity. It's a Clown Show, in the likes of Barnum and Bailey. Now the “ultimate CONservative” has become Santorum, a 3% candidate who couldn't win as the Scout Master for troop 7, in Twin Falls, Idaho.
But it alarms me to see the MSM manipulate the so called “Conservative base” in this manner. That same “Base”, that prides itself with being above media manipulation and capitulation.
It's the laughing stock of the entire nation.
Yes, conservatives are being manipulated by polls.
First they tear down Palin, and they play up Bachmann. Then they tear down Bachmann and they play up Perry. Then they tear down Perry and they play up Cain. Then they tear down Cain and they play up Noot. Finally they tear down Noot and they play up Santorum, a candidate who is no more conservative than Noot and who doesn't have the resourses to run a national campaign and they do it right before the Iowa caucus.
What we have now, a week before Iowa, is Palin, Bachmann, Cain and Perry on the trash heap, we have Newt and Santorum splitting the anti Romney vote, and we have Mitt leading in Iowa and NH.
And we now have good conservatives on this board thinking that the latest poll driven flavor of the day is some how better than the others and miraculously rising in the polls.
Sorry to say it, but what has happened is pathetic.
