Santorum: Romney running "desperate campaign"

Coming off a decisive victory in Saturday night's Louisiana primary, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is blasting Mitt Romney's campaign as "desperate" and lacking in message - and one that will be unable to effectively go head-to-head with President Obama come November.

Santorum, in an interview with CBS' "Face the Nation," contended on Sunday that Republican voters want to elect a nominee who has "their principles written on their heart - not on an erasable tablet."

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The media plays Santorum into saying all sorts of controversial things, but what the sad thing is, Santorum has no clue they are doing so. He just gleefully rambles on about any question they ask him. And he continues to feed their arsenal they later use against him.

I am sure that he is still clueless, that they have him eating out of their hand. But the MSM certainly marvels at how successful they have been up to now, in that regard.

What ever, babble on Rick, you won't listen to sound advice regardless.

I would vote for Newt today and Romney is my 2nd choice. I did like Santorum but he has really changed my opinion of him...I don’t like him and liked him a lot in the past.

[Amntn]

Rick just comes off as childish and petty. His new “Obamaville” video is more evidence of it.

Newt differentiates conservative issues from liberal ones while looking like a grown up. Rick doesn't seem to be able to do that.

The story did not mention how Santorum handled the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman question. I do believe that will come back to haunt Santorum.

I don't think so. Santorum's gaffes have a shorter shelf life than an open can of soda. I thought "take one for the team" would haunt him. Didn't happen. Then I figured for sure that saying Romney and Obama are interchangeable would sink him. Nope. I'm beginning to think this fellow could stand up and sing the Soviet anthem in Arabic and it wouldn't matter.

Newt in the meantime gives amazing policy speeches and has the White House responding to him. But it doesn't transfer to actual votes. Go figure.

[Nextrush]

NOT ROMNEY IS MY POSITION AND ALL THE DELEGATES THAT NEWT OR SANTORUM OR EVEN PAUL GET PREVENT HIM FROM WINNING THE NOMINATION.

ROMNEY MUST FALL SHORT OF THE NUMBER OF DELEGATES FOR NOMINATION.

IF ONE OF THE THREE WANTS TO SELL OUT AND GIVE ROMNEY THE NOMINATION, SO BE IT, BUT WE’LL KNOW THEIR TRUE COLORS IF THEY DO IT.

If this debacle moves to a brokered and they throw Jeb into the mix there will be much blame thrown at Santorum and Romney. I do not like Jeb Bush.....period.

I have read the records of both Santorum and Romney and nwither appealed to me. I still hold out hope for Newt or Sarah if we are lucky..

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The political reality of today is, one does not win elections by insulting the people voting for you, or especially by alienating the majority and limiting your self to a fanatical, singular fringe.

[cripplecreek]

I will support Romney.

Mitt Romney, the man who did more to unleash gay marriage on America than anyone.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Jeb Bush has flat out refused to accept such an appointment.

If it goes to a brokered convention, it will be someone like Ryan, Palin or Newt, who appeals to all sides. That possibility is every bit as realistic as any.

It could also be forced into a broken nomination, where a 3rd Party can emerge and be competitive.

Rick Santorum who will have a problem winning his home state, he whines like a little spoiled school boy.
Rick Santorum claims he only voted for bills supporting the unions when the bills were slipped into causes he supported.

Give me a break!!!

Mitt Romney did not unleash gay marriage on America.
You make the claim, then support it with facts, not political hearsay.

[cripplecreek]

Do your own research, liberal. You’ll learn more that way.

[DaltonNC]

Well, I am 77—have been a christian conservative all my adult life.
I have never been called a liberal till now.

Again, you need facts.

[lonestar]

Surely they wouldn’t put another Bush in! But never say never.

[Lazlo in PA]

Someone needs to tell Lil Ricky that it is better to be humble than arrogant.

So your defending Romney here. Swell.

[Lazlo in PA]

Santorum for President Ping List.

FReepmail “Antoninus” to be added or removed.

[alstewartfan]

Why? To hit up those folks for whom he will be “better than Teddy Kennedy”? Bob

[cripplecreek]

And you need the man parts to face the fact that your boy Mitt is as much a liberal as Hillary Clinton.

[mardi59]

I have NEVER defended Romney on any issue. My post meant Santorum needs to be humble, not arrogant like Romney.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Don't worry, this juvenile stupidity will all come to an end by April 30th, which is when I predict Santorum will have to drop out.

It is now mostly Santorum’s inflated ego and stubbornness that is keeping him in. If nothing else, he plans on living comfortable from here on out, just on his 15 minutes of fame. As far as his political future, he will be pretty much done after this election is over. Nobody will offer him a VP or cabinet spot, like some think.

[mardi59]

Surely they wouldn’t put another Bush in! But never say never.

I am tired of the Kennedy and Bush families. Heck, I’m tired of all the career politicians. They NEVER go away!
