We here in FreeRepublic are in constant and continual communication with each other, argueing, sharing and disecting the news and politics and people.
We really try to analyze and make decisions that are mature and wize.
We are also a minority.
I've had to admit, since Pennsylvania's primary yesterday, that by being IN TOUCH with data, we are OUT OF TOUCH (in some matters) with a frighteningly larger percentage of the population than what we want to admit to.
That's my conclusion.
We can't seem to save good people from being (figuratively) killed ... Palin, Cain even Santorum.
I don't know what America's fate is, but 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes to mind more and more these "last days"
.
I am not that familiar with Rick Santorum
But I have seen several (completely unrebutted) comments posted here on FR threads that dispute Santorum*s constant “I-I” and “Me-Me” claims such as that he personally wrote THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA
Other off-topic primary issues by all primary candidates:
“TO THE MOON ALICE!”
“I AM THE ONLY REAL CONSERVATIVE!”
“I RAISED 23 FOSTER CHILDREN!”
“I WILL FORCE OBAMA TO DEBATE ME IN A SERIES OF 400 SEVEN-HOUR LONG LINCLHN-DOUGLAS DEBATES!”
“I WILL BAN ALL ABORTIONS!”
“I WILL GUARANTEE I WILL WIN THE STATE OF.....”
“INDUSTRIAL (union) BUSINESSES MUST GET SPECIAL TAX BREAKS!”
“BIG IDEAS - BIG SOLUTIONS!”
Repeated (endlessly) - even now on talk radio or FNC - Prospective voters tune out the noise
There must be some secret list of topics and agendas that some politicians can access will chase away one or more voting groups
It must have been written by Saul Alinski

WWII in Europe would never have been won if the USA, Brits, Canadians, and Aussies had not taken Omaha Beach
Even then we still had to whip the Japanese in the Pacific
Obama is now buying votes with your tax dollars while you bicker, argue, and say “Wait until 2016! Americans will all then magically vote the way we want them too!”

IF Free Republic had given Rick Santorum half a chance in his run for the Presidency....
IF FREE REPUBLIC hadn't aided and abetted the 'Hate Rick' crowd to crucify him on a daily basis.....24/7....
We might.....MIGHT ....have a real conservative still in the running right now!
I believe in Chronicles 7:14, but that sure wasn't happening on the Santorum threads.
I will never understand how this forum could be so egregiously compromised.
