The fact that Santorum is the front-runner among the anti-Romney’s shows a fundamental flaw in the conservative community. Huckabee in 2008; Santorum in 2012. It shows how far up our collective ass our collective heads are.
And I say that as someone who feels duty-bound to vote for Santorum when this circus gets to NJ.
Newt is by far the better candidate but the Fundamental Flaw in the Conservative Community prevented Newt from being where Santorum is now: in position as the only viable rival to Romney.
In the words of Winston Smith and Julia, “we are the dead”.
I’m surprised nobody has commented on or asked about what you regard as the Fundamental Flaw in the conservative movement. Perhaps it is obvious to everyone, so there is no need for comment.
By the way, looks like Santorum had his 2+2 = 5 moment. Santorum was on CBS Face The Nation a few minutes ago, and when asked about George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin incident, he accused Zimmerman of “pursuing” and committing a “heinous” act and all but denounced the Gingrich critique of how Obama is playing the incident.
“The fact that Santorum is the front-runner among the anti-Romney’s shows a fundamental flaw in the conservative community.”
IF you mean by “fundamental flaw” the social/moral conservatives...you are wrong. They aren’t a flaw, they are the true base of the GOP since Reagan. Without social/moral conservatives you DON’T have a GOP....it would become a minor party.
I tend to respect and not insult the conservative voter, even IF he does not vote for my guy.
But then that’s me.
Connect the dots. Stopping Romney is vital for short-term viability of conservatism so conservatives, like him or not, must support Santorum to stop Romney. Tearing him down and pretending Newt has any chance of being the nominee are fantasies that are undermining the necessary goal of stopping Romney.
