If Romney wins, there is no 2016 for Santorum. He knows that. He has one agenda only, and that is his self-advancement. Consider this... In 2008, 30M conservatives FAILED TO VOTE. Obama won by 10M. One could say conservatives put Obama in office. Santorum would love a repeat. His eye is on 2016, not the good of this country.
But I thought Santorum was a Romney man!!
What happened?!?!
This is not over :)
Translation...Santorum....”As far as going with a particular presidential candidate right now — I mean — had a chance to talk to Newt, I haven’t had a chance yet to talk to Gov. Romney,” ..Santorum said on a conference call. ...“But we’ll be talking to both of them and we are going to go out and ‘deal’....and who can pay my going price to support them for my politcal and financial advantage, .....I’m not giving my delegates away without getting something in return....I didn’t win... but I hold the cards that determines this election.”
I consider that very honest from Rick. We know and he knows that Romney will SAY anything but certainly won’t govern from the right. Don’t endorse, Rick.
Hey, I’d be thrilled if somehow everything turned to Newt at the convention and Newt wasn’t even my 5th choice, but he beats these 2.
=====================================================
Newt Gingrich/Mitt Romney/Ron Paul supporters: “Rick Santorum is a dirty rotten piece of rat feces who should be endorsing my candidate!”
How can we resist such sweet talk?
Rick is still on the ballots and even if he isn't campaigning any votes for him still count towards delegates and he knows that if he is going to primary President Mitt out of office in 2016 he needs to know the final extent of his support now.
He will endorse anybody but Obama when the time comes.
=====================================================
I know a Paulbot who keeps calling him "Rick Satan", with statements like "Rick Satan is a Catholic-in-name-only who loves war and killing innocent people"... then whines that he and his supporters should be endorsing Ron Paul so we'll have enough votes to "stop Romney"
All three camps seem to think endlessly insulting Rick Santorum and his supporters will somehow get team Santorum to rally behind their guy in the upcoming primaies. Odd tactics.
“If you have money to donate to campaigns I recommend giving it to Conservative House and Senate candidates.”
Finally, someone with common sense.
We will end up with a “moderate” Republican, or a communist, who will be even worse in his 2nd term, so more than ever, we need STRONG CONSERVATIVES in the House and Senate.
