For many, Santorum is the latest beard.
Those of us who have been fighting Romney for many years, something that you clearly think was wrong, have watched as when JR made it impossible to openly push Romney, Romney’s supporters switched to the next none threat to Mitt, as their beard, while continuing to attack Palin, or today Gingrich.
That happens in the media as well, Beck is an example of that, he can always attack the conservative threat to Mitt by promoting the less threatening conservative enough, beard.
You can assume what you like. I like Rick because he has had fewer lapses in judgement and was on the right side of TARP, Global Warming and Healthcare Reform. The second choice for me is Newt & I will absolutely support Newt if he is the nominee. He is second in my book because he has wandered and has high negatives (unelectable). Finally, if God forbid Mitt takes the nomination, I will hold my nose & vote for him. I just think he is a flip flopper politician in the worst way. I understand that there are those who refuse to do that but clearly Mitt is less damaging for our country than Obama and a refusal to vote at all is no different than pulling the lever FOR Obama. Our nation cannot withstand another 4 years of this. I care too much about the country to allow that to happen.
Your theory that Romney supporters are secretly supporting others (Rick, Michele, Herman) so Newt will fail is just ridiculous on it’s face. If there were that many Romney supporters, they could simply vote in unison for Romney and he would have already rolled to the nomination. The truth is just too much for you, so you concoct this elaborate reason why Newt cannot carry the day. It just doesn’t hold water.
