Santorum: "I'd Like Everybody To Get Out"

“Newt can talk a great game but in practice he allows his ego to run his positions.”

Can you please post an example of this? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I truly want to know. I have heard talking heads say it but I want to know why they say it.

[Psycho-Freep distorts everything]

You had better have proof of that claim! Especially since you lack the courage to ping those you are attacking!

If only Perry would have adapted Newt’s position of not kicking out illegals...Perry would have done better.

Nice to see an anti-Perry troll still around.

I think we will see more from the good Governor Rick Perry.

If Newt were able to win that is.

I think it’s more accurate to say that the conservative electorate has a Huckabee Problem and that Santorum is just this cycle’s manifestation of that.

That is a great point. I'd only add that this "problem" goes much further back. This is the same socon demographic that voted for candidates like Pat Robertson in 1988. People forget that Robertson actually won some states in the primaries (even finished 2nd in the Iowa caucuses).

Social conservatives are a vital part of the Republican party and are absolutely right on many issues such as opposition to abortion and gay marriage, but because many socon's put most/all their focus on social/religious issues they often vote in the primaries for really terrible candidates who have absolutely no chance to win a general election. There is zero chance someone like Pat Robertson was going to be elected president - even in 1988, yet over a million social conservatives voted for him before he finally dropped out.

Kansas;)

Romney/Gingrich makes more sense.

What you say is very true. The base seems to have lost their direction and vision. Of course, moral issues are absolute. But to elect leaders on this criteria, as a primary attribute, is why the rest of the country has passed us by.

George W Bush is exactly who illustrates this. He was a Social Conservative, but a fiscal moderate, to big government spender. Add to that, a Big Labor Union advocate, and we have what a large number in this party see, as the best choice. No wonder we are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The guy won Kansas.

We are not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

So?.......Georgia.......

It’s almost funny. After Kansas, they were breaking out the nomination party hats and picking the drapes for the Oval Office.

But the really big, nasty ones are still ahead. And reality is always right behind them.

Has anyone else noticed that, over time, the more that Psycho-Freep posts, the worse that Newt does and the better that Rick does?

Coincidence? Maybe. But as a long-time Santorum supporter, I am willing to take a chance and put up with the psychosis in order for my candidate to keep surging.

Go Psycho-Freep!! /s

LOL! Right, Newt is losing because of my posts.....

But don’t look now, Santorum is not exactly taking it by storm either.

.

Yep ... Santorum as Romney's "butt-boy" ...

supporting Romney just because the Citizens in Pennslyvannia REFUSED to "ever again" elect him to ANYTHING ...

Little Ricky Santorum will be DESTROYED by the Mittens "Schorched-Earth TV Ad Campaign" that will take place in Pennslyvannia ...

Santorum has allied himself with Darth Vader ... to satisfy his own sense-of-specialness ...

It's a great thing that Rick Santorum wasn't born in 1735, and that General Washington didn't have to put up with his likes during the War for Independence ...

Unless ... Benedict Arnold ... was just Ricky's "previous incarnation" ...

.

Yeah, what a sweep, only Georgia and South Carolina—uh how many states is that?

Delegates to date—both pledged and bound (AP):

MR—over twice as many as Rick-over four times as many as Newt.

RS—over twice as many as Newt.

NG—Over twice as many as The Nut.

The Nut—47

Can you say two man race?

How in the world could Santorum beat Obama? Obama has $100 million in his reelection fund and will probably still get 80 percent of the black vote, 70 percent of the Hispanic vote, 70 percent of the union vote, 100 percent of the homosexual vote, 75 percent of the college-age vote, and 100 percent of the traditional Democrat party vote.

Unless the Republican party nominates someone that the Catholics and conservative evangelical Christians can vote for, many will stay home in November, and President Obama will be president for at least the next 4 years.

Yes, I sure can. But you will soon learn that the “two” are as “one”.

. .

Psycho-Freep,

It's an honor to provide "covering fire" for you ...

Don't hold your breath as the local Little Ricky Fan Club members ...

refuse "repeated" invitation(s) to refute any three (3) of the "Santorum's Greatest Anti-Conservative U.S. Senate Votes" ...

that list ... which you so magificently provided us at Free Republic ... is a life-saver for true Conservative Patriots ...

Strength and Honor ...

Patton-at-Bastogne
