It's to the point that most of Santorum's speeches contain more of Newt's thoughts, ideas, plans, visions than those of Santorum's speechwriters. It is really unseemly, santorum, after all, is the good christian candidate. But he never gives newt credits, or says that innocuous thing some candidates say, like I agree with my good friend and colleague, who says.... fill in the blank. He can't even do that.

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. - Saul Alinsky

I suppose you think you are somehow being astute or smart by posting your Alinsky comments, which, is basically Alinskying me... but we won't get into that. I post from my heart, have never read an Alinsky book in my life, which doesn't seem to be the case for you... If you want to support your candidate, learn to engage in thoughtful political discourse with your own thoughts and feelings... without throwing around some tired rules that you seem to subscribe to... had an IQ test lately?

Nice try, but not true. I'm merely pointting out which rule of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals apply to your comment.

|That's nice to know you post from the heart. your heart is filled with belittling people? (because you do it a lot). I hope not.

I don't have a candidate. I don't suscribe to these Alinsky tactics; I merely pointed out that YOU are using them whether you realize it or not. You are not alone. There are a group of you who post Santorum bashing threads and then trash anyone who shows up to support him or disagree with you. That is pure Alinsky. It's a favorite of dems.

... had an IQ test lately?

and there you are.....proving my whole point. You went right back to ridiculing me, I'm assuming because you took offense that I pointed out what you were doing. Either that, or you just think posters named Girlene have a questionable IQ.

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with other posters or expressing your viewpoint. True Believer Forever, I have noticed several times where you continue to call people names that you don't agree with. It shows your weakness in your argument when you have to resort to namecalling (IMO, of course).

Just my 2 cents.
