Santorum: Might as well have Obama over Romney
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer / The Associated Press ^ | Will Weissert

Posted on 03/22/2012 9:00:58 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday said Republicans should give President Barack Obama another term if Santorum isn't the GOP nominee and for a second day compared rival Mitt Romney to an Etch A Sketch toy.

Santorum reiterated an argument he has made before: The former Massachusetts governor is not conservative enough to offer voters a clear choice in the fall election and that only he can provide that contrast.

"You win by giving people a choice," Santorum said during a campaign stop in Texas....

I’d rather have Romney over Obama, but it really makes no difference. I’m just tired of that arrogant Muslim-in-the-closet. Might as well go with a guy from a religion which boasts Donny Osmond rather than the “rage boy” terrorist.

Santorum has lost it. If he had said that Romney as the candidate would result in Obozo winning, that would be one thing. But to make the comment that HE should be the GOP candidate or people should just go ahead and vote for Obozo is narcissistic and stupid. Hmmmm. Two traits which Obozo demonstrates on a regular basis.

If this race ends up being Obama vs. Santorum, we might as well call it “Dueling Messiah Complexes.”

I wonder if Gingrich has the balls to say the same thing?

When we have such a loser for president, why are we about to put a dweeb like Romney up? Come on. Is it because he can fund so much? Money bags must have an appeal when running against an incumbent.

If Obama wasn’t destroying the nation with the explosion in food and gas prices, I’d almost agree with Rick.

We need a better candidate. Dang. Please God, not Romney. He will Etch a Sketch his way to liberalism in nothing flat.

Wow. That’s pretty arrogant and narcissistic. Something I’d expect from Newt, but I thought Rick was bigger than that. Too bad.

Whatever one’s opinion concerning Romney versus Obama, we should avoid demonizing each other over it. I have already written that I will not vote for Romney, and I'm a man of my word. I will not vote for him. However, I understand the concept that it's better to vote for an Obama lite, aka Romney, versus the real deal. I will not question the motives of anyone who votes or does not vote for Romney, as I'm sure many of us are agonizing over our current dilemma.

Santorum just removed himself from any consideration. No doubt the process is long, tiring and stressful but it does vet the candidate. Santorum just showed the type of judgement that precludes him from being the Republican nominee.

Kevmo: “I wonder if Gingrich has the balls to say the same thing?”

Gingrich already stated he disagrees with Santorum and would vote for Romney over Obama. He made it clear he has fundamental disagreements with Romney on many issues, but Newt apparently feels President Obama is far, far worse.

So then the choice could be between “far, far worse” socialist and “etch-a-sketch” RINO.

Hard to tell the difference.

I think I will vote straight-ticket republican, but the top will be a write-in.
