>> Then why did Rick endorse Romney in 2008? Because the other option was McCain. <<

By my latest count, at least 90% of the freepers here who bash Rick Santorum for endorsing Romney in 2008 when the options left were Romney, Huckabee, Paul, and McCain... did exactly the same thing as him. That's probably why crickets chirp whenever I asked them who THEY endorsed at that stage in the race.

Interesting, isn't it? One thing I've noticed is Santorum bashers really love hurling stones in glass houses.

The Santorum bashers bashed Rick, and now he’s gone. What are we stuck with? Romney. They couldn’t care less that Rick was the best hope for stopping Romney. Now that Rick is gone, what they doing? They’re STILL bashing Rick. It’s quite pathetic.

FR did NOT endorse Romney in 2008 like you claim.

Romney is hated by conservatives who recognize
his lies and deceptions quite clearly.

Other than few pathetic RomneyBOTs, here is who
is for the backstabbing, liar Myth Romney:

IT’S UNANIMOUS FOR RINO ROMNEY
From the Kennedy Seat in Massachusetts to the entire DNC

Mitt Romney wins much coveted Jimmy Carter endorsement

Gore Praises Romney's 'Climate Protection Plan'

Carville(D):
"It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."

Sen. John Kerry (D) to Don Imus on RomneyCARE:
"I like this health care bill".

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on RomneyCARE:
"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."

I certainly hope that the Republicans have learned a lesson since 2008. I admit my thinking was different, and I was even willing to hold my nose and support McCain. I have also seen that doing so gained us absolutely nothing for the conservative movement. Having had that experience I decided never again would I compromise my principals to support any candidate. So can I criticize Santorum for making the same mistake I did? Nope.
