I've had that same mental image of Santorum several times watching debates.
“I heard Newt defend Cain on Monday, googled but could not find the quote. Maybe someones got it and can post it. Sure looks like a (media) smear job to me. “
I was wondering about Newt, he’s had to deal with this crap. People make fun of Cain for being a political novice, but Bachmann and Sanatorium both need Hail Mary’s now, and both had a great chance for it, if they had come to Cain’s defense.
...but I guess neither had the political smarts to do so.
You say that like there are no candidates who don’t have a surprise or two out there.
Oh how I wish Sarah had decided to run she has all the positives of Cain but she was thoroughly vetted. Personally I am leaning strongly in Newts direction, he is vetted and he is reliably conservative. I have issues with Newt in that sometimes his judgment is questionable, but I do believe Newts feet can be held to the fire should he wander off the reservation from time to time.
Can Michelle be trusted? She’s a tax lawyer!!
of course not.
One can only wonder at the depraved souls now contributing to her campaign.
“I’ve had that same mental image of Santorum several times watching debates.”
Yeah; I was “iffy” re Santorum at the beginning and felt he might possibly be an OK candidate. In the most recent debates, he got a desperate, whining, manic tone and rhythm that was scarey. Didn’t come across as being too stable or mature. Off my list.
And if Bachmann thinks the opposition and/or MSM would be kind to her re “surprises”, she’d better think again. If they couldn’t use her husband’s dealings with the gay community to her disadvantage, they’d certainly invent something.
