This is a good opportunity for Santorum to bow out and not look like he was run out by the GOP or Romney.. BEFORE the PA primary!
I chose not to run for office but I work in politics. I've taken jobs that I knew would be difficult on me and my family, but I'm not in this for MYSELF. I've made personal sacrifices because I have always believed I was working for a greater cause. Because I indirectly "know" Rick, I know the same spirit is motivating him. I'd say less than 10% of Republican elected officials and/or staffers are motivated that way these days (as opposed to the Reagan years when easily half of candidates and staffers were driven by Reagan's cause of smaller government.) I thank God that 'one of us' is now in a position to run for the presidency, and I pray every day that he wins.
Why? What's the hurry?
Prayers up for Bella, and for the Santorum family. This has got to be a rough time.
Why is Santorum an a$$hole? YOU have no clue, Pal. Try running even a local campaign, and realize how amazing that Rick’s run on a shoestring budget has been. The man is a dynamo. He loves God, country and family, and it’s shameful how people here attack him as a man. The only pity is that Rick will almost certainly not be the nominee. I can’t wait to vote for him, no matter.

Saddened to hear of this.
Even if he is a jerk.
Santorum is a great man. You are foolish to think he’s a “jerk”. America needs tens of millions of more “jerks” like Rick if we are to survive.
“Santorum needs to bow out of the campaign and tend to his family. While he’s at it he should endorse Mitt and unite the party.”
I agree with you. I believe he is so power driven he can’tee the forest for the trees.
Stay home Rick and do the right thing.
Your 15 minutes of fame is turning into an embarassment.
Prayers for Bella.
Sweet little baby.
I think it is up to Romney to united the party by getting a majority of the delegates.
“Prayers for Bella. God bless and keep her.”
Yes.
If hes power driven, what about Romney, whos been running for president since 2006? Fact is, they should give the Kati Couric award to whoever that Iowa precinct chairman who skewed the initial count, and allowed Romney to claim victory in the state. Imagine how the momentum would have changed if Santorum had been seen as the winner. Romney has come a long way on a few dimes, where Romney has had to hustle even though he has had millions to spend.

I believe Santorum is pro-life. There is no reason for him to endorse Bishop Willard.
We are in the Primary process, and I can understand peoples frustration that Romney is the front runner and WILL be the nominee, but there is going to have to be a time when we all have to not just look at who is sitting behind the desk, but look more intently on who Obama surrounds himself with, the ones at the helm of the ship whose destination is to radically change America. Bill Ayers, George Soros, Cass Sunstein, Van Jones, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and all the rest. Do we really prefer Obamas radicals, to a cabinet yet to even be picked by the Romney ticket?
Some may say, what does it matter, Romney cant win. I say, by God it does matter. Americas survival may count on closing the door on Obamas radicals in November. If its impossible then we MUST do the impossible. American history is full of impossible obstacles. Im going to be a part of this one.
Must be a paulbot...
First of all prayers out to Bella. I just can't imagine. Second. I see no evidence Rick is running for simple power. I see a man who sees this as his calling and is worried that 10 years from now this path we're heading down as a party let alone as a country may not be reversible without a revolution and widespread pain. In fact i have more respect for the man because he is taking the time and making the personal sacrifice that most of us would never do. Is he perfect? No and he would be the first to tell you that but he's the best option we have as conservatives right now. Romney will be less of a disaster than BO but not much better than Bush.
“If its impossible then we MUST do the impossible.”
Peddling Bishop Willard to anyone with pro-life principles certainly falls into that category. Nice way to jack the thread, by the way.
“Ive never understood why a guy like this would run for president at a time like this. His kids are YOUNG, hes got a daughter who needs parental time and attention. There is a time and a season for everything ...ten years from now, maybe.
I dont get it.”

Our nation and the world, the terrible loss of faith, maybe God wants this “man” for right now. Standing up for everything good and moral, wee see by his life.
I remember in the debates, Santorum never hid his beliefs, faith related or secular. He didn’t sound like a politician, you can hear it. he speaks the truth. He can stand against BHO.
