I’ll never forget Father Thomas J. Euteneuer, then president of Human Life International, taking Hannity to the woodshed over his support of contraception. Father Euteneuer told him he was mocking the Catholic faith and asked Hannity why he didn’t accept Catholic teachings. Hannity got hot under the collar, told the priest that he was a DEVOUT Catholic and that he didn’t know anything about him. Father Euteneuer said he did know something about him and asked him again why he didn’t accept the teachings of his Church. He then told Hannity he was a hypocrite.
Hannity then started acting exactly like a liberal and changing the subject started telling this honorable man of God he should be more concerned about “all the sex scandals” in the Church and less concerned about contraceptives. It was funny seeing Hannity lose it, I’ll never forget it. The priest called him a hypocrite. It was great. Father Euteneuer was never invited back on his show.

It seems the people on FR dont understand that Iowa was a caucus and NH an open primary state. This isnt over by a long shot. They understand. Or least some of them do. The ones who don't are probably unwitting victims of the principle of emotional contagion, which is originating from those who do. Some things never change.

Yes, I think Perry made it very clear that he is pro Capitalism, but he draws the like at Corporate raiders.
Just a couple years ago people here and all of the talking heads wanted the evil bankers to give back their bonuses.
I defended those bankers, But I loathe hostile take overs that loot companys

“How did we get to the point where two open primaries with a handful of delegates have decided the whole damn race!”
That has nothing to do with it. The candidates have roughly the same support in most states.
The problem is not 2 smaller states going first. The problem is the lack of a viable conservative candidate running.

Well, Fox is openly part of the Romney army now. I have seen Hannity display open dislike of any number of liberals, but never a conservative. Until tonight.
To: af_vet_rr
As of tonight, I’m done with Fox myself. I can’t stomach it any longer.
To: Arcy
How is Perry’s getting 1% of the vote in NH “splitting the vote”?

I think I vaguely remember seeing that. Hannity is nowhere near the choirboy image he likes to put forth of himself.

"SC needs to end the Not Romney debate."Probably won't happen until after FL. Why should anyone get after SC? Altho it could happen if someone runs out of money.

It is the elite republicans way of letting you think you have some control over the destiny of our Republic. You don’t, at least not at the ballot box.

The fear is that ex-Zero voters want safe harbor. Mitt has safe harbor flashing in one million candlewatts.
Take the 10% RAT defecting, add in the 20% squishy independents, that’s where this idiot 25% Romney chunk is built.
Not from anybody who actually follows politics. That’s why we
feel so rug-swept-out-from-under-our-feet.

You gave me a great idea for a satire with the whole, premature pull-out syndrome. And you get the credit for the concept. LOL! You take the credit. I want no part of this name attached to it!
Seriously.
To: Arcy
Perry needs to drop out NOW! If he doesn't, he will be 2012s version of Fred Thompson, who gave us John-rino-McCain.
GET OUT NOW, Perry, and let those votes go to Santorum or Gingrich, preferably the latter.
Romney isn't even near 10% of the votes need to clinch the nomination. If folks have the money, they should continue running as long as they want to.
To: HereInTheHeartland
It’s funny that for all the times we all agree that Iowa and New Hampshire shouldn’t choose our candidates, as soon as Iowa and NH vote, everybody here is letting the results choose our candidates, and attacking other freepers who disagree with them.

Until we get to florida, divided isn’t bad, because of proportional delegate assignments.
To: Museum Twenty
“South Carolina is the next stop. I have a head start here, and it’s friendly territory for a Texas governor and veteran with solid outsider credentials, the nation’s best record of job creation, and solid fiscal, social and Tea Party conservatism.”
Note to Gov Perry: the people of SC can read all about your record on the internet, too. You won’t be foolin them.
They won’t like a Gov who would intro the muslim culture curriculum into their schools. They won’t like a Gov who would override a parents’ choice to force their child to take a drug from your drug company pals.
So, if I were you, I wouldn’t set my place mat at the table, just yet. Best pray they don’t do proper research. You might catch them sleepin. Or, then again, you might not. Whatever you do, don’t let them find out. Overwhelm them with your Texas charm. You just might get a pass, after all. You never know.

To: napscoordinator
Not sure what you were asking, but I don’t understand how Romney and Santorum ended up with almost all the Iowa delegates, and Ron Paul got zero. That’s not the list from election night. Iowa is proportional, although you pick delegates to the next level so you theoretically could win the straw poll but not have a person at the caucus to be a delegate. But Ron Paul specifically was working delegates.
Another site showed the following count from Iowa:
Romney, Santorum, Paul = 6; Gingrich = 4; Perry = 3;
Meanwhile, here was CNN’s delegate count:
Santorum 8; Romney, Paul 7; Gingrich, Perry 2
Shows what a joke Iowa is, you can’t even figure out what the delegate counts actually were.
To: altura
South Carolina hasnt voted yet, and Rick Perry is not responsible for Newt and Santorum not catching fire.
South Carolina is meaningless. It's an open primary and the liberals and libertarians will be crossing over to vote for Romney and RuPaul. We can get somewhat of an idea by looking at the polls and the final results of the other two contests, but I still think the liberals and libertarians will distort it for Romney and RuPaul.
Iowa:
Polls are first, actual results in ()
#1 Romney - 22.8 (24.6)
#2 Santorum - 16.3 (24.5)
#3 Paul - 21.5 (21.4)
#4 Gingrich - 13.7 (13.3)
#5 Perry - 11.5 (10.3)
#6 Huntsman - 2.3 (0.6)
Undecideds in the polls - 12 points
Iowa - the polls were accurate to within 1.8 points for 5 candidates. Santorum probably picked up mostly undecideds to explain his 8 point difference. Romney beat the polls by 1.8 points, Ron Paul was dead on, Gingrich nearly dead on, Perry underperformed the polls by just over a point, and Huntsman underperformed by under 1.7 (which Romney probably picked up).
New Hampshire:
Polls are first, actual results in ()
#1 Romney - 37 (37.5)
#2 Paul - 17.5 (18)
#3 Huntsman - 16 (14.5)
#4 Santorum - 11 (11.5)
#5 Gingrich - 9 (10.3)
#6 Perry - 1 (1)
Undecideds in the polls - 8 points
New Hampshire - all accurate to within half point, except for Huntsman who underperformed the polls by 1.5 points and Gingrich who beat the polls by 1.3 points. Romney beat the polls by 0.5, Paul by 0.5, Huntsman underperformed, Santorum beat the polls by 0.5, Gingrich beat them by 1.3, and Perry tied his polls.
South Carolina poll averages:
#1 Romney - 31.1
#2 Santorum - 20.7
#3 Gingrich - 19.7
#4 Paul - 10.7
#5 Perry - 5
#6 Huntsman - 2.3
Undecideds in the polls - 10 points
The only thing that really stands out in the first two contests were Santorum beating the polls by 8 points in Iowa. Everybody else was well within the margin of error.
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict this, based on the previous two contests' polls and results and SC being an open primary:
#1 Romney 35+
#2 Santorum 18
#3 Gingrich 18
#4 RuPaul 18
#5 Perry 5
#6 Huntsman 1
I'm not saying that RuPaul and Romney are going to get the undecideds, I'm saying that because of the crossover Democrats and Libertarians, Romney and RuPaul will pick up a lot more than what they are showing. Chances are Gingrich and Santorum will pick up the undecideds, but they'll be nullified by the crossovers thanks to it being an open primary. Perry may even lose a point and Santorum and Gingrich may lose more thanks to their voters being diluted by the liberals crossing over.

It's even worse where they are picking South Carolina as their last stand, when it's an open primary just waiting to be picked over by the liberals and libertarians crossing over.
