a Romney nomination is intended as a strategic loss because the GOP secretly (or not so secretly, as the case may be) really wants to lose the election

DING DING DING the WINNAH!

Good image of the GOP's resolve to fight:

Well the press is going to blame the Republicans in either Case, so according to that we lose in either case,I would rather be in Power and not continue the path to Destruction,Some times a Coach should just sit by and let his Players do the Job and NOT THINK TO MUCH. This plotting and Planning to let the other guy get the Blame is for Cowards and Losers which is exactly what the Crop of Republicans we have been stuck with for a couple decades. I would rather go down fighting than sit by and play according to the other guys rules,WE WILL BE BLAMED ANYWAY. The Tea Party People, me and My Family Included, TWICE marched in Washington with Hundreds of thousands and the result was a Great Election Outcome,I will be Damned if I am going to sit by and say Let this Pig in the White House Win just so We THINK he is going to be Blamed,Case in Point is The Last 3 Years,If the Bastard isnt going to get blamed by Anybody,the Public or the Press after the Fiasco we are Witnessing now, What makes Anyone think that will Change after 4 More years of it!

Did Santorum ever do anything illegal? Yes. He founded a charity which didn’t register with the state of Pennsylvania as required under that state’s law.

Senator Santorum founded the Operation Good Neighbor Foundation, a charity that was actually a bit of a scam. In 2001, following up on a faith-based urban charity initiative around the 2000 GOP convention in Philadelphia, Santorum launched a charitable foundation. While in its first few years the charity cut checks to community groups for $474,000, Operation Good Neighbor Foundation had actually raised more than $1 million, from donors who overlapped with Santorum’s political fund raising. Where did the majority of the charity’s money go?

In salary and consulting fees to a network of politically connected lobbyists, aides and fundraisers, including rent and office payments to Santorum’s finance director Rob Bickhart, later finance chair of the Republican National Committee.

This charity (2001-07), doled out just 36% of income as grants, far less than the 75% of responsible causes. It can only be coincidence the charity which spent most of its money on lobbyists, aides and fundraisers closed after he was defeated for reelection in 2006.

Note: my file on Santorum is now 24 pages long. This is really sad, and most Republicans are getting suckered into believing this man is decent.

I will not vote for Santorum. When a middle-class citizen is elected to Congress and returns home 12 plus years later a multi-millionaire, it is due to corruption in government.

We have to change Washington in order to get our nation back on the right track.

I am a Conservative Republican who will vote for all other Republicans down ticket, but not for either Romney (really a liberal Democrat), Santorum (corrupt), nor for Paul (a Libertarian).
