In the spot, titled “Agree,” Santorum highlights all of the areas where he and his fellow GOP candidates don’t arrive at a consensus. He notes his disagreement with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney on “government run Romneycare.” He calls Texas Governor Rick Perry “dead wrong” for supporting in-state tuition rates for illegal immigrants. Santorum also vehemently opposes the Wall Street bailouts, which former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain supported.
However, the take away message of the ad is that Santorum and his fellow GOP contenders do agree on perhaps the most important issue: defeating Barack Obama in 2012. “Barack Obama has to go,” Santorum says, “And if there’s anything we’ve learned from his failed presidency, it’s that experience matters.”

My song of the night:

Wife cashed in her chips for the night, but big daddy’s still rockin’.
How about you quit lying about Cain and try making a case FOR your candidate for a change?
Ah but that right, you cannot. That is the whole problem you American idol Cult of Personality campaign bots face. You cannot make a rational fact base argument FOR your guy.
Bump!
Sorry but a guy who whines at every debate about “not getting enough time” shows himself far too weak to be President.
Between Obama and McCain is perfect insurance that no senator will get even close to the WH in 2012.
This is not the body where leaders come from.
Finally proved for another century.
I am on to this tonight.

Nice to have a belly full of Single Malt at the end of the week. Rock on. If you stay tuned, I will be listening to the Bangles in 10 minutes.
Not like the guy who heads to a Frat party after a debate. Rock on.
He neglects to mention his own flaw, endorsing former RINO and current Democrap Snarlin Arlen against Toomey in 2004.
lol. now I’m listening to The Gourds version of “Gin and Juice.” About to pour me some more juice.

I’ve always liked your guy just don’t see a path for him in this election.
I could be wrong, however. The way the polls are going he might be in first place next month. LOL
Of course, I’m rooting my guy to make a comeback.
As for my candidate, I don't have one yet. I find the entire field sorely lacking, and have resigned myself to making a situational decision when the primaries hit NJ. Who knows who'll still be in the hunt when the time comes?
In the meantime, I'm doing my thing. I'm vetting everybody. I'm stirring the pot. I'm taking full advantage of the grist mill that is FR.
I may be a pain in the ass at times--I am sure I am. But no one who knows me after all these years thinks I'm lying or shilling. I refuse to believe that anyone familiar with me over the years thinks that. They may think I am wrong, but I believe my integrity is intact, no matter what you babble about. Cheers.
Had an old buddy a million years ago, black guy named Ray, used to say, “Anyone who doesn’t like Steely Dan doesn’t like music.”

“The Cuervo gold, the fine Columbian, make tonight a wonderful thing. “
I definiely believe you when you say no national sales tax.
I agree and shudder to think of it.
Part of my email from Family Research Council:
“.. In an hour and a half, the word “family” was used six times-four of them by Senator Rick Santorum. Like FRC, he understands that real problem solving starts with an understanding that the economy and the family are indivisible.
When Gov. Rick Perry suggested that President Obama is “the biggest deterrent to getting this country back on track,” Sen. Santorum interjected. “There is more to it than that,” he insisted. “And I agree with Rick [Perry], what he said, but the biggest problem with poverty in America , and we don’t talk about here, because it’s an economic discussion—and that is the breakdown of the American family.
You want to look at the poverty rate among families that have two—that have a husband and wife working in them? It’s five percent today. A family that’s headed by one person? It’s 30 percent today. We need to do something, and we need to talk about economics.

This guys goes after eveyone that not a Cain fan. Of course, you may have been but not with that tax plan.
All that said, it occurs to me that SPENDING is the issue. SCOPE OF GOVERNMENT is the issue. The mode of taxation is interesting. A radical reform is attractive at some point.
But the mode of taxation means NOTHING if the SPENDING and the SCOPE of government doesn't change. That should be Issue #1.
I am not prepared to give them a new stream of revenue, and I am not prepared to radically overhaul the tax system until they first get their SIZE and SCOPE under control.
Sounds like bad REM outtakes.
Unless he gets a huge surge of support his time in the primaries will be very brief.
