Et tu, Brute? When will republicans learn not to bash their own? Stupid question......
He didn't "give in" he knew he didn't have enough support to do a real filibuster.
Santorum knows he missed the boat, while Cruz is sailing full steam ahead.
Sorry Ricky, sweater-vests are out and they’re not coming back.
Santorum could not run as the moderate he is because that would have hurt Romney. So he ran as a fake conservative. I will NEVER forgive him
for supporting that turncoat Arlen Specter.
Wow, I didn’t know Santorum stepped into so much dog poop on Trayvon and Zimmerman. He was pathetic and clueless.....rushing, no, vaulting to the front of the line to talk about what a monster Zimmerman is.
WAY TO GO RICKY....
The Baloney bashes the Meat Slicer.
"Little Boy" Santorum desperately seeking relevance.
Fuggitaboutit, Little Ricky!! Take your dolls and go home.
Vindication for Coulter. Another squish being exposed.
If it's arguable that the Cruz strategy was wrong then why doesn't Santorum explain why he thinks the strategy was wrong.
Why doesn't Santorum say the strategy was wrong because Obama, the Democrats and the media all lie, and the Republicans are too afraid to fight the lies and therefor the Cruz strategy doesn't work.
All of the above is true. So why doesn't Santorum explain it? Why doesn't King, McCain, Sunnunu(Sp.?) and the rest of them all explain it? The answer is they too are too damned afraid of the media and they are part of the problem.
but in actuality all Cruz did was to draw attention to himself as a Tea Partier.
Okay, you want to be cynical about this. So why doesn't your cynicism extend to Santorum. You don't think his appearance on NBC criticizing Cruz was self serving??
“”Santorum: Feed him to the pigs.”””
Why would you do that to a pig?
“a pro life liberal....an establishment tool”
Of this I never had any doubt. Good to see proof so we don’t get fooled again...
And now Santorum is speaking for Ted Cruz?? Cruz does a much better job speaking for himself. What Cruz did was brilliant. He got out front of the Obamacare disaster, so the dems and the RINO saboteurs own it. Besides that, you've got the NSA spying scandals gaining traction. By drawing attention to what's going on in DC, Cruz created a situation the dems and the RINOs may never recover from.
Santorum is coming across as just plain dumb.
Ricky voted for all the big govt stuff when he was a senator. He’s not conservative except religiously.
I don’t get the “Cruz is hurting Republican victories” talk.
I understand that he’s pushed away a few Republicans. But the problem is Republicans who actually want to change things haven’t had a real victory in a long time. The closest was in 2000 when there was some tax reform enacted. But that was offset by Medicare Part D and other increases in entitlement spending. They also go the stem cell lines based on aborted fetuses to be defunded of federal funds. After that, what did Republicans who want to stop reckless spending win on? What did pro-life Republicans win on?
Republicans are tired of sending reps to DC who as soon as they get there do their best to maintain the status quo. Democrats are fine with their reps lying to them and working to enrich themselves at their expense, Republicans shouldn’t be.
Santorum self-destructed in the debates, before he started acting as a spoiled brat onstage.
He did, and was astonishingly petulant....criticized other Republicans more than he did Obama....and yet, was given credit for not doing any of that.
It was bizzaro world stuff.....
Santorum is a snake. Joe Pyne would tell him to go gargle with razor blades. But I would NEVER say that. God bless Joe Pyne.
Make no mistake: We took note of who did and who didn't support Senators Cruz, Paul, and Lee.
Paul was there, but I don’t know if I call him “one of us”
Hope we never have to settle for him again.
Cruz has exposed where the battle lines are.
