Another irony is these people (they must be very young, or just new to politics), who attempt--poorly at that, to mock Senator Santorum for the crossover Democrat strategy. That's right, a Republican Conservative challenging a Moderate RINO centrist on his HOME GROUND in the state of Michigan, by appealing to crossover conservative Democrats with a marketing campaign.

JUST LIKE GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN DID TO JERRY FORD IN 1976.

They become realllll silent when you tell them those facts of history, which they probably are hearing for the very first time.

It's either precisely what you have described it as being, or you have folks so angry with Santorum, that they would call him unfit to be president if he sat down to take a wee wee.

We have some folks on this forum right now that have convinced themselves that Santorum is the worst candidate, Romney ain't so bad, and it's everyone's fault but Newt that his numbers are as low as his sordid record has garnered him.

Hey, that's a great point, but the more popular point is that doesn't cast a disparaging light on Santorum, so that means it can't be important.

For some of them, you're probably right.  We've got a herd mentality around here right now though, and rational interpretations of historical facts aren't selling too well.
