Smells like bullshit.Taste it, it's even worse.
When mittens wins by 8 votes he won IOWA, when the count is Santorum up by 34 votes, it's too close to call and it is declared a TIE.
Call me stupid, but winning by 34 is winning by 34. PERIOD.
If they now claim that certain votes "cannot be found", then you go with what you got.
When demonRATS are allowed to vote in pubbie elections, fraud will occur, the demonRATs just look at this as practice for the November elections.

Well they are wrong. SOPA is the worst attack on freedom I have seen . Government will use SOPA to censor and destroy the Internet and so our freedom. And Santorum is for SOPA.

I guess putting so much emphasis on Santorum’s marriage might not be the best tactic. Oh I don’t vote until April so basically it will be over by then most likely.

I or we weren't disagreeing with you on SOPA only on your saying Santorum is no conservative--and not meaning disrespect I will take their word over yours.

Don't take some radio entertainer's word for it what Ricky Santorum is. Take his own words that prove Santorum is for government regulating the Internet.So Ricky is against freedom and liberty period and so cannot be a conservative.

There is, and can be, a limitation on that. You know, freedom of speech. The things you cant say. You cant cry fire in a crowded theater. And there are limitations to all freedoms. Theyre not absolute rights. They are rights that have responsibilities that come with them, and if you abuse those rights
then you have a consequence of you using that right.
Santorum identified piracy as an abuse of ones rights. While acknowledging that the internet can be a powerful force for good, he argued that making it a regulation-free zone would be the wrong approach.

Let's see if I got this straight....
First vote....mittens has 8 more than ricky....
Iowa newspapers: "Romney WINS!!!"
Recount...
mittens has 34 fewer votes than ricky....
Iowa newspapers: VOTE IS A TIE!!
Uh....I don't get it...I surely don't.
Or....is Iowa trying to convince the nation that they really are as big a joke as the rest of us think they are?

Pledged GOP 2012 delegates, per Associate Press, not my calculation, from their running site, live (as of right now).
But does show Santorum leading the Conservative vote for delegates. (As Mitt is a RINO and Paul is an Anarchist), that puts Santorum leading anti-Romney Conservatives for delegate total.

Say it loud; say it proud: mitt lost Iowa!!! Not tied. He gave a victory lap that night. He claimed he won. Well, Santorum didn’t get his victory lap or speech.
Congrats, Santorum!

Because it is a large conservative state and would help eliminate Rino selections.

The issue here is the vote tally in Iowa. It has nothing to do with Santorum's position on any issue.
It is outrageous that they can't count eight districts, because they threw the votes out after they were tallied. Wouldn't it make sense that they be held until final certification?

Not so sure about that, given the primary history. You could argue the votes may have been different if the primary was earlier. IMO, that just tells me the electorate there is not as independent as some would believe.

Of course the AP shows Gingrich and Perry with 0. However, they picked up 4 and 3 respectively. Just thought I'd mention they are still in the race ;)

Of course that makes senseif you're running a fair election with a well-documented paper trail. Obviously the RNC, etc. isn't interested in that.
