I can’t vote for a Romney/Santorum ticket, because the top of the ticket is still pro sodomy as marriage, pro abortion, pro socialized medicine.

I’ll vote third party, possibly consitution party, unless Santorum eaks out a win.

If you go back to what this is quoting, Romney’s name was not in the question. Otherwise, this is like Newt’s comments that he is in this only for the rush of being the center of attention wherever he goes.

Now the former Pennsylvania senator is saying he is open to the idea of filling the nation's number two slot if his fellow GOP front-runner secures the party's nomination.

I doubt very much that Biden is ready to retire.

“Rick Santorum has shown he is a tireless campaigner and is the number one choice of evangelical voters. Now the former Pennsylvania senator is saying he is open to the idea of filling the nation’s number two slot if his fellow GOP front-runner secures the party’s nomination.”

“In a Monday interview with CBN’s David Brody, when Santorum was asked if he would consider running alongside Mitt Romney as the vice presidential nominee, he gave an affirmative reply.”

The quotes above are taken from the article — the first two paragrapsh.

So...what’s yer beef?

He’ll keep the rubes in line. That’s how he’d sell himself as VP. Vote for us, rubes.

If you go back to the origninal interview, of which multiple variations have been posted today, Romney’s name was not in the question.

You mean, The Christian Post lied?!

Be reasonable. Who else do you think the reporter meant? Ron Paul? Newt Gingrich?

Mitt Romney has the most delegates at this point in time and I suspect the RNC will coronate him if they have to just to keep us gun+bible clingers at bay!

Hey Romneybot, Newt said the same thing.

Seems to me that a person who was seriously in the race to win it wouldn’t even entertain a question about ‘second place’...

Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser....

I guess sitting out this election will be the best choice. With obamma, you get obammacare. With Romney, you get Romneycare. No difference at all.

Romney is a democrat wolf in republican sheepskin.

Just as I figured, Ingtar...

The core group of anti-Santorum naysayers will keep repeating it until they find something else to jump on.

A RINO like Romney is going to need a conservative on the ticket like McCain/Palin and Rick has already shown how he beats even the mighty Newt Gingrich when it comes to drawing conservative votes (that may be why Newt is staying in the race which helps Mitt—payback), heck, a dang Yankee like him winning all those Southern states was nothing less than amazing!.

I'm still hoping Rick gets the nomination but if Mitt gets it and Santorum can help him stop the Marxist—we gotta think about the country.

“I can’t vote for a Romney/Santorum ticket”

I would hope Rick is thinking more in terms of a Gingrich/Santorum ticket.

Well, he didn’t say he’d be Romney’s VP.

He said that he’d be willing to serve as VP if that’s what he’s called on to do, for the sake of his country.

Obviously Romney would never consider asking him, after everything Santorum has said about him. So far, Santorum has been causing Romney more trouble than anyone else.

If you go back to the origninal interview


Would you consider the video of the interview from the Brody File on their website as being accurate? If so then the only thing in question is who is the "HE" that Brody is asking about when the question is put to Santorum.

Click the following link for the Video and listen to the question and answer and read the transcript as provide by the Brody File.

P.S. If Romney is at the top of the ticket, I don’t care who his running mate is. I’m NOT voting for him.

The only hope left would be that conservatives can agree on a single write-in candidate.

No Obama. No Romney.

I could see voting for a Gingrich/Santorum ticket against Obama/Biden in November. It would be a superior alternative to a Romney/Anybody, to voting 3rd party, or abstaining.

Exactly. You beat me to the post.
The anti-Santorum bashers get tripped up in their own mesh. The moment it is revealed that Gingrich has said or done the same thing they run with their tails between their hind legs. Indeed, I cannot think of any of the GOP contenders including Sarah Palin who would not accept the VP post for any of the candidates. This is a non-story. Go on. Nothing to read here.

Is Governor Sarah Palin running for the Republican nomination? Was she in 2008 when she was picked by Senator McCain? [crickets]
