"Because he won Iowa..." He actually tied with Romney at 25%, but okay. So did Mike Huckabee, Dick Gephardt, Tom Harkin, Bob Dole, Edmund Muskie, Fritz Mondale, Al Gore and John Kerry. How many of those men were presidents?

“Santorum 1990: Im not a Reagan Republican
The Reagan line echoes Romneys own memorable remark from his 1994 Senate campaign, when he said that he didnt want to return to Reagan-Bush.
Santorum reportedly made a similar statement on a separate occasion. According to an October 28, 1990 piece in the Pittsburgh Press, the afternoon newspaper that eventually became part of the Post-Gazette, he described himself as a progressive conservative in his campaign manual
”
Santorum comparing Romney to Reagan, (Romney really despised Reagan and left the party because of him).

And the case was exquisitely made, if I may say so.

Santi should talk! Sheesh he may have put in years but effectiveness nada! He couldn’t hold a hand to Cruz’s effectiveness and further he’s not a traitor rhino like Santi was here in Pa...and why we kicked his butt out.

Santi will be or say whatever he thinks he needs to to retain his seat at any given moment....he loves to wheel and deal like a gambling man...always to “look” right for the moment. He’s a cad and that’s all there is to it!

Look how that has turned out.
Senators don’t know how to do anything but talk.
I would much prefer a Governor, or someone who has run a large company. Otherwise you get stuck in the BS. Governors know how to move things along.

And who said Noah was an amateur besides?Yep, it is reasonable to assume that Noah was a professional ark-builder, and that he had had plenty of experience building previous humungous arks. /s

Amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
The Titanic was lost because of bad seamanship, not faulty construction.

It appears so, he gives me the willies, and now that I have done so much research on him, I know why.
Here he is supporting Arlen Specter for President.

Newt was GOP-E all the way. He was the one who told New York to vote for deedee Scozfava because she was a solid Republican, and then she endorsed her democrat opponent a few days later. And did you hear the tongue bath he gave Boehner on Hannitys show? No way Newt! Newt's quirky behavior includes
- Making a joint appearance with Nancy Pelosi in an ad calling for action to stop global warming, a cause dear to conservatives' hearts.
- Attacking Paul Ryan's 2011 budget plan, hailed by many conservatives, as "right-wing social engineering."
- Taking a lengthy cruise through the Mediterranean in the spring of 2011, a critical time when other candidates were out fundraising and organizing their campaigns.
- Firing his entire campaign staff.
- Delivering that strange speech at the Republican National Convention in 2012. Despite his reputation as a barnburner of a speaker, Gingrich gave a short speech full of empty platitudes that seemed totally out of character.
I hope he's through with politics for good.

The obvious question is what particular duties in the office of the Presidency would Cruz be unable to perform?
Obviously his critics can’t answer this, because the answer is there are none.

Slammed Cruz without any reasoning. Just a hit piece without factual discussion.

I keep hearing that we don’t want another inexperienced President like Obama.
Can someone point out to me how a lack of experience is his problem instead of his ideology? I think he’s done exactly what he (Valerie) wanted to do, experience be damned.
I’ll take a conservative with the exact same level of experience who’ll move the ball as far in this direction.
And that’s the problem, isn’t it? Name me any of the potential GOP nominees willing to play offense. I can only think of one.
Experience be damned. I want a fighter, not a squish.
