What is it about his personality that you don't like ? Is it because he is not , well ? Charismatic ?

I used to see him on Greta from time to time and always liked him. But now that I see him in longer formats such as debates and townhalls, I have been finding him whiny and sanctimonious.

Well, compare him to Romney and Newt he does not look so bad after all.
Newt can come off as a pompas sanctimonious jerk sometimes.
The question is ? whom can you trust the most ?

Agree completely.

At this point I still don't have a preference. Not wild about anyone.

Rick Santorum is excellent. He is probably the best choice.
He has been a Catholic all his life and has been married to one woman.

Rick has been attacked by militant gay groups. Rick Santorum is the real deal.

He does not give fake speeches about Reagan and then promote global warming on the couch with Nancy Pelosi like Newt.

Go Rick.

No he is not. Bush and Rove pushed him to support Specter. Santorum did not want to.

Vote for whom ever you want to but don’t go for Newt or Huntsman. Newt is a CFR/NWO RINO who worked with Clinton to pass MFN for China, GATT/WTO and a lot of things that were in total violation of The Constitution.

Newt is a Pelosi Republican who campaign for Dede in NY. Dede lost and she supported the DEMOCRAT.

Santorum is far more conservative than Newt. Newt treats conservative voters like he treats his ex-wives.

But he is a Catholic, and it depends whether the Evangelicals are willing to recognize what he stands for.

I'm evangelical, and every evangelical I've spoken to about him likes him and recognizes his Christianity. That will not be an issue. :-)

“Santorum is far more conservative than Newt.”

The facts are that Gingrich’s voting record was rated higher than Santorum’s.

I agree about Santorum, Bachmann and Palin being the best choices. Gingrich is the worst along with Huntsman. Rick Perry is light years better than Gingrich.

Did Pat Toomey really vote for gays in the military? I had forgotten about that. Some conservative.

That jerk Scott Brown in Mass also voted for gays in the military. He sends me emails for money. He can go to h*ll. Rick Santorum gets attacked by gay groups left a right.

Rick Santorum would NOT have voted for gays in the military like Toomey.

Indeed, what’s not to like? We all respond to charisma, but that’s what gets these other guys into trouble. Santorum seems like the kind of guy to turn down a flirty intern with kneepads. That can be a good thing.

The facts are that the Speaker of the House almost never votes on legislation unless it's a tie-breaker or procedural vote. Newt probably scored "100% conservative" that year by voting with the GOP caucus on two pieces of legislation.

Well, you would be factually incorrect as Gingrich was rated for many years prior to be a Speaker.
