Santorum hits Romney hard: Are we going to nominate the worst possible candidate on health care?

I have a slight disagreement with Santorum...

RINOmney is not only the worst possible candidate on health care.

He is the worst possible candidate on EVERYTHING!

He’ll sell your grandmother for the presidency.
He’ll sell his grandmother for the presidency.
He’ll sell anything for the presidency.

A shame, since spending just a few bucks on a real education instead of joke degrees in law in business from long past their due date colleges might have allowed him to have a coherent thought or two.

RINOmney is a vapid dork.

Period.

BTTT!!

The one that is really urking me now is Romney’s position on raising the Federal minimum wage. Doesn’t he know that states are free to set their minimum wage to what they want?

GWBush/Pelosi set the minimum wage to go up in Spring 2009 and look how well that helped low income workers !

I LOVE how Rick has been, to some extent, lying in wait and picking his spot.

TEAR ‘EM UP RICK!!!!!!

[FrankR]

[JaguarXKE]

I could vote for Rick. I could not (and will not) vote for Romney. IF Romney is our nominee, I’m writing in someone. I refuse to pull the lever for that liberal liar!

[myrabach]

I expect the Rick attack dogs any time now... wait for it.

[Domandred]

Yes we are because Conservative GOP and TEA Party “leaders” are backing the Wilsonian Progressive Gingrich instead of the only true conservative running, Rick Santorum.

[Jeff Head]

If Santorum can win Minnesota and Missouri, then he will have three out of eight, Romney will have four out of eight, and Newt will have one out of eight.

At that point, for the good of the country, Newt should throw in behind Santorum

But I am afraid Newt is too emotionally involved and too proud to do so.

Here's a file I have been keeping updated regarding the GOP PResidential race. It shows how it looks to date: (Notice how overall the conservative vote defeats Romney, and would have tied him in Florida, if not beat him):

RE: IF Romney is our nominee, I’m writing in someone. I refuse to pull the lever for that liberal liar!

The same thing happened in 2008. Many conservatives either stayed home or wrote in someone else’s name instead of voting for McCain. The result, an Obama victory, Obamacare, and liberal judges in our courts, plus two liberal supremes.

[Prokopton]

The same thing happened in 2008. Many conservatives either stayed home or wrote in someone else’s name instead of voting for McCain.

There is no evidence of this. Obama won with nearly universal support of his base and a large portion of independents. Evey single conservative voting for McCain would have made no difference.

Will you keep updating and reposting this as results change? I hope so.

[Jeff Head]

Yes. I will make a seperate thread about it and post it today, and then update it once the 100% results are in for each primary.

Note, the votes today do not produce any immediate delegates. In all three cases, those delegates will be allocated at later meeting in March and April.

Thanks for the effort...its nice to have it all in one place.

[Bigg Red]

I really like Santorum, and I have contributed to his campaign. But I sincerely hope that he does not descend to the name calling contests we have seen out of the Romney-Gingrich battle.

Please, Rick, stay on message and just tell people about the merits of your plans.

[JaguarXKE]

I don’t care any more. I really don’t. The Dems and the GOP establishment - two sides of the same coin.

“That problem could have been solved by South Carolinians had they united behind Santorum instead of Newt”

SC, or any other Southern state will not vote for a Northerner over Newt Gingrich. Aint gonna happen now or anytime in the future. I needed a good laugh this morning.
