Want people to not pick at Santorum? Then learn to put the stick down.

Yes, I should put the stick down because morons should be able to attack one candidate adnausium, while their own guy carries around enough baggage to keep a 747 from taking off.  Good call.

Calling Newt a “clown” because some RINOs in leadership didnt like him anymore is someone I would vote for far above a CLOWN that lost his seat by 18%.

The members of Congress as a whole vote for the speaker.  A few RINOs as you address them, can't do it on their own.  He pissed off the whole body of majority Republicans to the point, he no longer had support to hold his position.

Compare that to a state where the full body of voters from both parties had a say in it.  If that state's body was made up of a majority of registered Republicans, I think you could make a fairly good comparison.  That is not the case.

Yep, today we call them the GOP-E and they are backing Romney.

Speaks volumes...
