"What is he supposed to do?"

No wonder Republicans are milquetoast, they have a cheering constituency rooting them on.

Here is a thought, how about the truth and Fluke's intentions on challenging the Church.

"Oh no, the super-duper scary liberals have framed the debate, quick, suck up to their group think then chastise the ones who dare to fight for truth."

Perfect response if you ask me. Rush is pointing out absurdity by being absurd.

He DID say something today like

“why should homosexuals be forced to pay for contraceptives for ‘breeders’”

This guy continues to have McCain moments, where he destroys himself with his own comments.

It’s very hard to defend a guy against himself.

“What is he supposed to do?”

We expect a reasoned response from someone, who would be POTUS. He, obviously, was hit with a “gotcha” question but we expect him to handle it with poise. And, if he can’t do that, then don’t talk to people like “Blitz.”

Yes!

I wonder what Newt has to say about Miss Fluke, being an expert on that type of woman.

Wait. Either Mr. Scozzafava sitting on the couch with Nancy or someone who can pass a conservative purity test? I’d say then you’d better look for someone who can pass that test cuz Newtie ain’t it.

The CNN headline writer is trying to make it seem like Santorum is disparaging Rush. He wasn’t.

I think Santorum may be 'over-correcting,' -- using this flap to try to dispel the image (correct or incorrect) that he is not the heartless, out-of-touch-on-women's issues person that he is perceived by many to be.

If this is the case, it's a losing strategy.

Actually, Rush's comment on Flake's morals were meant to be taken seriously. The woman is absolutely is a slut.

The part about her posting YouTube videos of her having to reimburse the taxpayers was an example of absurdity to demonstrate absurdity.

Gee that’s not much of a misleading headline is it?

Rick.

I have respected you. Admired you in many ways. Though you are not “my guy” I could easily handle you in the White House.

WILL YOU PLEASE STOP SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE *&^%$£$ FOOT JUST BEFORE A ROUND OF PRIMARIES!!

I happen to agree with Rush Limbaugh. It’s an apt term when you want people forced to pay to fund your sex life. However, this is not something that Santorum can come right out and agree with verbatim. No Republican politician can do this when running for office and expecting a chance to win. A Republican politician running for POTUS can’t call a voter a slut. Even if he did as you said, what would the headlines be? The headlines would go like this, “Santorum Agrees With Rush Limbaugh That Woman Is A Slut.” You know how the media works. If he did that, it would be spread throughout the blogosphere, and it would turn off a lot of people because people look at headlines and media spin instead of context. It would even be posted here by the group of Newt supporters who like to bash Santorum for every reason under the sun. They’d say he puts his foot in his mouth, is an extremist, is a turn off to woman voters, etc.

Calling her a slut will not help Rick. What he needs to do is contiue to do what he has been doing. That is, he needs to be a loud voice against the contraceptive mandate and the anti-Catholic bigotry it entails.

Not playing the gotcha game doesn’t mean he’s not on the conservative side. Santorum has been vehemently against the birth control mandate.

One thing the Santorum supporters are most proud of their candidate for; He takes careful aim before he pulls the trigger!

Is that all you’ve got? Out of office stuff?

Okay, let’s go to the in-office accomplishments and put the Newt accomplishments for Republicans up beside the Rickster’s.

LOL!!!!!!

I’ll raise your Scozzafava-Pelosi couch-sit obsession (while out of office) against the greatest IN OFFICE accomplishments of Newt and throw in the Ricky Record for free.

You go first.
