YAY Santorum!

*Doing a happy dance*

I pray to God that Santorum keeps up the momentum.

In other news, I want to destroy the Hoodie Footie banner add at the top.

Santorum is the one person we need in the White House; with him there will be hope for the nation. May God allow him to become the next President.

For Santorum, we need him in the white house; for the Hoodie Footie, I agree.

I was so disappointed in the WSJ this morning (February 8.)  They didn’t mention Santorum’s victories until page A6.  Not good enough.  His was a great come-from-behindd victory!  I suppose his bank account just wasn’t big enough  (like Romney and Gingrich) to “Win” instead of “Show.”

Oh I got a feeling that he will win. YAHOOOOOO!

Way to go Rick Santorum. I always knew you could pull ahead.

Santorum won’t win against Obama, the general election is composed of all kinds of people and the religious right will not win, we don’t want religion in the WH, our founders knew that. 

I got turned off by Santorum when I saw this video at his rally—Santorum doesn’t work, how does he get his money and pay his health Ins., he has a sick child which must cost a lot in medical bills, I suspect the taxpayers pay his Health Ins. 

Santorum Tells Sick Child Market Should Set Drug Prices
WOODLAND PARK, Colo. – GOP contender Rick Santorum had a heated exchange with a mother and her sick young son Wednesday, arguing that drug companies were entitled to charge whatever the market demanded for life-saving therapies.

Santorum, himself the father of a child with a rare genetic disorder, compared buying drugs to buying an iPad, and said demand would determine the cost of medical therapies.

“People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad,” Santorum said, “but paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with – it keeps you alive. Why? Because you’ve been conditioned to think health care is something you can get without having to pay for it.”

The mother said the boy was on the drug Abilify, used to treat schizophrenia, and that, on paper, its costs would exceed $1 million each year.

Santorum said drugs take years to develop and cost millions of dollars to produce, and manufacturers need to turn a profit or they would stop developing new drugs.

“You have that drug, and maybe you’re alive today because people have a profit motive to make that drug,” Santorum said. “There are many people sick today who, 10 years from now, are going to be alive because of some drug invented in the next 10 years. If we say: ‘You drug companies are greedy and bad, you can’t make a return on your money,’ then we will freeze innovation.”

Santorum told a large Tea Party crowd here that he sympathized with the boy’s case, but he also believed in the marketplace.

“He’s alive today because drug companies provide care,” Santorum said. “And if they didn’t think they could make money providing that drug, that drug wouldn’t be here. I sympathize with these compassionate cases. … I want your son to stay alive on much-needed drugs. Fact is, we need companies to have incentives to make drugs. If they don’t have incentives, they won’t make those drugs. We either believe in markets or we don’t.”

 Translation: I support Romney because I support socialized healthcare and I will paint Santorum as someone that doesn’t care about the sick if it helps my candidate to win.

Santorum’s words don’t condemn him if you take in the rest of what he stands for. For example – A HUGE reason why drugs cost as much as they do is because the market is so heavily regulated and taxed. Less regulation and taxation on the market will allow for more competition which will drive prices down.

Lastly, no, not everyone can afford the best of everything. It’s a tragedy that anyone suffers. So should we all become slaves to a collectivist system so no one suffers?

You’re advocating socialism kinabru. Care to admit it?

 Wrong. Your choice is Romney and Romney is one of two candidates that will potentially split the party. There are numerous voters that flat out will not vote for Romney. Furthermore, if Gingrich would just drop out you’d find that Gingrich supporters would go to Santorum, not Romney. Also, more of the Ron Paul supporters would vote for Santorum and not Romney. Romney voters would vote for Santorum over Obama.

Santorum represents potential unity in the Republican Party while Romney represents disastrous division. Most importantly, Santorum actually is conservative, and represents integrity.

You’re a Romney in-the-tanker and you can’t take on the issues on this website because every selling point you could think of for Romney is only a selling point for moderates that don’t want to vote for Obama. No one here thinks they’re selling points. Romney is not conservative enough to gain and hold widespread Republican support.

If you think Romney is a better alternative, it’s time to step up. Convince us. But do it on the issues. Bring up the issues one at a time and convince readers of your comments that Romney is better. By all means, feel free to compare Romney to Santorum.

You can start with healthcare just like you did in another comment. Please, let’s go over where Romney stands on healthcare compared to Santorum. That gets right to the crux of the matter, doesn’t it?

Santorum=Reagan, Gingrich=Bush, Romney=Obama, Paul=Cocoa Puffs

Please, please, please….Pat, stop using the “mocking” voice!!!  It sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and it diminishes what you’re trying to say.  

The MA legislature was going to pass universal healthcare regardless of who was governor–Romney got involved and tried to find the most conservate cost effective approach and consulted with Heritage and NEWT who all supported the individual mandate–Romney then decided to apply the mandate for the 8% of the unisured to buy private Ins. so their hospital costs would be covered and would not be a burden to the taxpayers.  Romney care is only a 70 page bill and it is a lie when people equate it to Obamacare.  Also, the fed. government was going to cut off medicade funding to MA because they had too many on the dole.

Santorum gets his healthcare paid for by the taxpayers, he doesn’t have any room to talk. There is a lot of talk on the net about Santorum, most don’t like him, ask the people of Penn. if they like him, I know someone who lived in Penn. that spoke about Santorum way before this election and did not like him. 

In the orginal Romneycare there was no abortions.  That was later added by the Dem. legislators in MA and a Fed Judge signed it. 

You already have your mind made up and I am sure I am wasting my time, I will say that Santorum is not a conservative, look at his voting record, Romney is more a conservative, the problem is Mitt has been hit by republicans and the liberals, but he will prevail.

Santorum=howy doody, Romney=Reagan 

what a wild ride this continues to be. I believe that Santorum is the most stable and trustworthy of the 3. is he the perfect candidate? NO  I just pray that the conservative / libertarian forces unite behind whoever is the nominee. if obama is re-elected we are surely finished.

I am not for Obamacare, if the people of MA don’t like their healthcare, they can get it on the ballot and repeal it, why don’t they, maybe they like it, I don’t know but it is their decisions to make.

You are right, there is regulations why then doesn’t Santorum say that he will get rid of those regulations, he didn’t did he, he defended the drug industry, I am wondering if we check we might find that Santorum is a lobbyist for the drug industry, he is getting his money from somewhere—by the way he was going to release his tax forms, he hasn’t yet, he was after Romney to release his, come on Ricky where are yours.

How am I advocating socialism?  S.S., Medicare, Medicade could all be called socialism, are you for these.  Romney 2012

Santorum has a way of hanging in there with little money and organization compared to Romney and Gingrich.  He is also running a positive campaign talking about issues and the others are ripping each others eyeballs out.  We are tired of that and want issues talked about and how the candidate is going to solve problems and beat Obama.

If you’re looking for a “moderate”, vote for Mitt Romney.  If you’re looking for a progressive, vote for Newt Gingrich.  If you’re looking for a libertarian, vote for Ron Paul.  BUT if you’re looking for a true conservative, vote for Rick Santorum!  SANTORUM 2012!!!

Wow… someone we can all agree on. Whooop. {Well, except for the To Hell with America, I’m voting Ron Paul folks.}

Ok. Money Bomb Santorum.  Incoming!

SANTORUM –  ANOTHER PHONY —  GET REAL  –  VOTE RON PAUL.

Now, lets see if it holds.

Now’s your chance, Glenn. Put together a Beckersized ‘Money Bomb’ for Santorum.

Abilify may be expensive, but a million dollars a year? It is more like $300-$400 a month.  Comparing it to I-Pad is, however, stupid.  No one has to buy an I Pad.

Does anyone else believe there is an ulterior motive to the new health care decree?  No administration before has caused such division in our nation.  United we stand….

 You didn’t sell me. I’m from Pa and I believe Santorum was one of the best Senators in the last 50 years that this state has elected. The reason is that he stands on a very moral character base. He was always honest even if he may not have voted always the way I would have liked. He didn’t lie and was always very transparent in his reasoning. He was not intimidated and he voted in the way that he thought best supported the citizens of Pa first and of the U.S. second. That’s what a senator is supposed to do.

Pa is no doubt a very moderate to liberal state and he did get voted out not because of his performance as much as the political times we found ourselves in. He is still very popular here with liberals, moderates and conservatives out of respect for the character he embodies.

Some things are larger than political parties. Like our founders Rick Santorum has qualities that represent the principles our nation was founded on. This is something that has been lost in recent history and if not soon refound, we are hopelessly doomed not to continue as the bright city on the hill that our founders envisioned.

I will be deeply saddened to see this city extinguished in my lifetime. I will be deeply troubled to tell those coming after me what they have lost because my generation forgot what our country really was all about. Freedom and liberty……

I knew Ronald Reagan. Romney is no Reagan. Not even close.  Reagan was a communicator, Romney is an excommunicator.

No, I’m not for Social Security, Medicare, or Medicade. I want to see the whole entitlement system gone. It’s all socialism.

You’re making the case for socialism whether you intend to or not. That’s part of what makes me sick about the current state of the country. People don’t even recognize socialism staring them right in the face. They don’t understand how programs that we’ve lived with all our lives are contributing to our own demise.

You posted that story about that poor kid who needed medication. What was your point? It seemed to be – Awful Rick Santorum says that the kid should have to live with his sickness if he can’t afford the medicine and that’s just the way it is.

THAT is making the case for socialism. You’re trying to imply that by not having a government subsidized health care system all sorts of sick little boys and girls will be without the medication that they need. It’s bull crap. What’s wrong with you?

I could take any specific instance of poor children anywhere in the world and do the same thing. Think of the poor children. Isn’t it awful that there are so many of them that will grow up without any exposure to the arts? We should make sure that every child gets dance lessons. What kind of a country do we live in where children don’t get dance lessons?

Or how about – Little Suzie grew up in a home where her parents couldn’t afford to pay for her to go to Harvard. Harvard costs a lot of money and it’s an education without which she will no doubt miss out on many learning opportunities.

Or, how about – Johnny’s parents didn’t have a car so he had to walk to school and because he had to walk to school he was subjected to bad weather for all his school years.

Or – Terrence is growing up in an area without trees. He will never know what it’s like to climb a tree or feel its shade because his parents can’t afford to buy a tree.

Just come on. Look, it’s a tragedy that bad things happen. People suffer. As a Christian I’m compelled to help. I do when I can. I give to charity. I give food directly to the poor. I’ve volunteered. But I don’t like handing my money over to the government. The government is not the answer to the world’s problems. The government WILL NEVER HELP EVERY SINGLE BOBBY AND SUZIE IN THE WORLD THAT NEEDS MEDICAL CARE. And forcing people to give up ever increasing portions of their wealth to the government for the misguided mission of helping the poor is a complete farce.

If there was no government in healthcare than when people couldn’t afford medicine no one would buy it. And if no one was buying it the company providing the medicine would be forced to either lower their prices or close shop. Guess which is most likely to happen between the two?

Lastly, how many times does Santorum have to say that he aims to deregulate our government before people like you actually listen? He has said it over and over and over again. If you didn’t hear him after the 100th time YOU’RE NOT LISTENING.

Oh, and another thing – Santorum wasn’t defending the drug industry HE WAS DEFENDING THE FREE MARKET. Just thought I’d clarify on that point.

Absolutely. If nothing else, the ‘decree’ would put another 20% of this country’s GDP under government control.  Wouldn’t be much left.

Santorum did such a great job for Pennsylvania then they dumped him like last Saturdays bathwater.  Such a great guy, Pennsylvanias’ loss and the countries gain.  His honesty shows through in his demeanor, so much so that even a blind man could see it.  That doesn’t necessarily include liberals.

Michelle for vice -president?  

I absolutely disagree, spiritualism is different than religion and it is exactly what we need in the white house.  We have wandered too far from black and white, right and wrong in this country.  It is time for plain speaking, right and wrong, self help instead of entitlement, our country instead of all this foreign aid.  It IS OKAY to just say NO.  America needs to quit making excuses and apologies and recognize that we have accomplished much in our 200 + years, yes we have made mistakes, learn from them, quit apologizing and move on the the greatness we are capable of.  First though hold ALL politicians accountable for that is who is truly responsible for this mess in our government.  All parties, all decades and now we need to drastically clean house.

I agree, the general mainstream media is not covering all the candidates fairly.  They are shortchanging certain candidates.

For everyone who thinks Romney’s the man to beat Obama, please see the article below from today’s Wall Street Journal Opinion Section. It’s by Robert R Reilly who is a former special assistant to President Reagan and director of Voice of America. The man has some cred. It is self explanatory and hits a bullseye. Although there is a lot to like about Romney (and I will vote for him if he is the nominee), IMHO it clearly describes and explains Romney’s major flaw as a Presidential Candidate. It’s not a personal attack but a realistic assessement of what it takes to be POTUS and why….to wit…”President Obama is expert at deploying moral rhetoric. If his Republican opponent is not equally adept at this, he won’t be able to defeat him..”.  Read the article then watch Santorum’s victory speech. It’s not even close folks. Santorum hands down. Reason?  He clearly communicates his moral and conservative convictions which are based on his foundational beliefs.  He speaks naturally about the issues without notes etc. He comes across as sincere and genuine. His authenticy registers with people. In contrast, Mitt comes across as a bit hollow and manufactured. More like he is delivering a speech rather than communicating his beliefs and the why.  A bit too mechanical. He just does not have the “vision thing”

Again, read the article and then watch both of them making speeches. It should be required reading by everyone who wants to retire BHO in November.

ROMNEY’S BUSINESSMAN PITCH WON’T WORK
(If you can’t articulate the cause for which you are fighting in moral terms, you will lose)

By ROBERT
R. REILLY

Mitt Romney points to his successful business
experience as his principal qualification to be president. Others seem to agree. In a story in this
newspaper after last week’s Florida Republican primary, Susan Tynan, a retired
nurse, said she voted for Mr. Romney because “the biggest corporation in
the world is the United
States, and Mitt Romney has the best
experience to run it.”

When Mr. Romney was running for president four years ago, he said in an
interview that the first thing he would do in the White House would be to bring
in some business consultants. In other words, Washington is a management problem.

This is a profoundly mistaken Republican notion that goes back at least to
Herbert Hoover, a successful mining engineer, businessman and progressive
politician who was an advocate of the “Efficiency Movement,” an
attempt to manage government better. For decades the Republican Party nominated
losing candidates—Alf Landon (1936), Wendell Willkie (1940), Thomas Dewey (1944
and 1948)—who presented a résumé boasting nonpolitical accomplishment in
business and the professions. More recently, Republicans like Richard Nixon, George
H.W. Bush and John McCain may have been more accomplished in the political
realm but all struggled with what Bush 41 famously called the “vision
thing.” Time and again, they’ve been defeated by Democrats proclaiming
such things as the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the New Frontier, the Great
Society, and “hope and change.”

The Great Communicator Ronald Reagan, who spoke
mostly in moral terms, was the magnificent exception. He understood that Washington is not a
management problem; it is a political problem. Everything the government does
is necessarily political, because governments decide not only who gets what,
but why. These choices define a candidate’s politics, but they must be
conceived and expressed in terms of moral priorities.

Political language is inherently moral, not managerial. It must convey
visions, not just plans. It must explain why some things are good and others
bad.

Instincts are never enough. You need to have thought about politics in the
philosophical sense to know what is going on. I have seen businessmen in Washington with superb
instincts who soon became frustrated. That is because people who have no
background in either moral philosophy or rhetoric—i.e., lacking the
“vision thing”—are most often left speechless when they discover that
they cannot rebut attacks with management techniques.

If you cannot articulate the cause for which you are fighting in moral
terms, you will lose. Because they cannot do this, businessmen suffer from a
sense of illegitimacy when they come to Washington.
When your opponents scent this vulnerability, they go in for the kill.

Unable to deal with your opponents, you will
begin to see as your enemies not those who are opposing you, but the
subordinate members of your own administration who insist that you publicly
carry the banner of a cause that you do not fully comprehend. On numerous
occasions this has happened to high-powered businessmen (White House Chief of Staff
Donald Regan, Secretary of Treasury Paul H. O’Neill) who thought they were
going to shake up Washington.
Instead, they were shaken up.

President Obama is expert at deploying moral
rhetoric. If his Republican opponent is not equally adept at this, he won’t be
able to defeat him. Mr. Romney has showed no talent for this, which is hardly a
surprise since little in his background has prepared him for it. He did not
exhibit this ability as governor of Massachusetts,
where he failed to defend the very principles he now avows regarding such
things as the family, abortion and a liberal judiciary.

Mr. Romney has a tendency to treat his business autobiography as a policy
prescription. The economy is the only thing in his quiver. If it keeps
improving, he will be empty-handed before the Obama onslaught. Like Hoover, Mr. Romney wants
to be president because he thinks he can manage things better. But my advice to
any person who seeks to move American politics through his ability to succeed
in business is: Stay home. It will be better for you and for your country.

Mr. Reilly, former director of Voice of America, served as a special
assistant to President Reagan. He’s also served in the U.S.
Information Agency, and the State and Defense Departments.

I’ve always liked and backed Rick Santorum.  I believe he has less bad baggage and wants to refresh the U.S. with good basic principals and morals.  I think that wihout the golden rule mentality, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.  I like David Carpenters comparisons.

As a liberal I see his honesty and he’s way more genuine than Gingrich or Romney (the latter used to be so much farther to the left that he was my favorite Republican back in his Governor days). I strongly disagree with a lot of what Santorum stands for… but I don’t need to agree with him to see he’s been consistent.

Glenn, you are the best.  I have not listened to much news lately.  My husband of 31 years died on September 3, 2011.  I am starting to listen and learn again, it is hard because we used  to watch you on tv, but I am doing it anyway, it is very important.

Almost any bill causes a near 50-50 split among the public; can anything be passed that doesn’t have massive division?

Please read this article for consideration.
http://spectator.org/archives/2012/02/07/santorum-rejects-reagan-space

Gingrich is not progressive (I say this as a progressive myself). The most progressive of the four remaining candidates was Governor Romney during his Governor days. (He actually had something in Massachusetts that mandated birth control coverage just like the Obama admin. policy and at the time was my favorite Republican because he was pro-choice and supported gay rights). 

I like Santorum and no one else.  I will not vote for Romney.  Geingrich is kind of out.  Only Santorum all the way.  He has intergrity and grit and is a real conservative.

Exactly.  I am so tired of politicians!  That is why I want a businessman in the White House.  Our economy is still in shambles, our debt is ever-increasing and we are spending way more than we bring in.  This is why Mitt appeals to me — he can take FAILING businesses and turn them around.  He had a 78% success rate, taking businesses that would have failed 100% of the time and turned most of them around.  The US is a FAILING business!  Mitt knows how to restructure,  knows where to cut,  how to cut and what is the most effective way to bring the US back into solvency.  Yes, he is a millionaire, but a self-made one, showing us all that the American Dream is achievable.  He also gives over 15% of his income to CHARITY.  What other politician comes even close to that?  I would much rather be able to decide where my money is being used to help the poor, giving to charity, than having my money going to big government to be wasted, lost etc.

 I don’t have the time to adequately reply (Have to go out for a while), but I’d just like to say that I honestly wanted to find a reason to support Romney at one time. I found out all I needed to know about Romney a couple of years ago and he hasn’t changed a bit. You’re right. I do have my mind made up about Romney. I had it made up before the election even started, and to call Romney either a Republican or a conservative is a falsehood. He may carry the (R), but it’s only because he has the financial backing to do so. Al Franken is even more conservative than Romney is on a few issues.

NDAA 2012 – Romney supports it completely.
Universal healthcare – Romney supports it – His way.

Not my candidate – ever.

You are right David Carpenter!!!!!  I AGREE.

 Paul isn’t that far off from Reagan. Reagan wanted to do a lot more than he was able to do. Santorum is less like Reagan that Paul is. But both Paul and Santorum have very strong individual identities. Both represent positive changes for this country. I favor Santorum, but I’d vote for “Cocoa Puffs” too.

I also disagree on Gingrich. Gingrich is more like FDR than Bush. Perry however, was virtually Bush #2. Romney is just a different take on Obama – I agree with that completely.

Think about this, Romney has skeletons in his closet that  leaves people questioning and will be used against him with Obama. Gingrich has even more skeletons in his closet that will be dragged through the mud by Obama.  Paul’s policies can be considered scary by many and definitely won’t fly with the general population.  Santorum is one man that no one candidate has dished dirt with or about.  He has a great record in congress, served his people well in PA, knows how Washington operates, is respected on both sides of the isle, has a moral foundation to help rebuild this country.

The problem I have with Santorums reply is that he would do nothing—there are federal gov. imposed costs on the drug industry perhaps it is because Rick has been a stealth lobbyist for United Health Care.

What makes me so mad about all of this is that Santorum can go and meet with the “christians” and have a prayer meeting covered by the media, but if Romney did that he would be crucified by the right and the left.  And I am so sick and tired of hearing about the Evangelical vote.  Aren’t we just Americans belonging to different religions.  Talk about class war fare.  Its the Catholics vs the Christians vs the Mormons vs the left vs the ?  It makes me sick.

No one has vetted Santorum, he has voted for lots of earmarks, voted for gov. spending, Ron Paul has a video out on Santorum.  Santorum has been a stealth lobbyist since he was voted out of congress, check him out. 

I agree, the liberals and the so-called christians are against Romney, Romney is the best qualified candidate for the office of president that we have had in many decades.

Romney is organized … Gingrich is not. 

Paul is not Reagan. Ron Pauls foreign policy is not realistic.

Mr. Reilly has his opinion, that is what it is—Reagan was no conservative, he changed during his terms.  Romney has a gift for seeing what needs to be done and doing it, he has had much more experience than just as a business man, he was a governor who had to deal with a 85% dem. legislature.  Romney is a class act, Santourm is cocky and not really likeable, Paul is very good in the economy but foreign policy is another thing, Gingrich is just plain nasty.  Romney 2012

That isn’t true, you must not have watched the debates, he went after Gingrich and Romney,, he was pretty nasty, he has always come accross in the debates as nasty and cocky.

Santorum has made a living after being voted out in Congress by being a stealth lobbyist.

Romney can do a whole lot more for this country than Reagan ever did, Romney is much smarter.

I don’t need the president of the United states to be congenial.  I want a president that will come in, do what needs to be done and get it done.  That is what venture capitalists do.  They come in, look for all the waist and inefficiencies and gets rid of them, and then adds the necessary things to make it run better and make a profit.  I don’t care if he is Likeable or “connects to the populist.  I want the job done.  Some times it requires a person that can detach from the emotional issues and do the hard things

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it, to me, Santorum is like a boy, not really capable of being the president, no confidence in him—Romney is a man, a very capable man and I have confidence in him to do what needs to be done to put our country back on the right path.

Exactly, why don’t these people understand that—I don’t want the guy down the street that you can have a beer with to be my president, that is crazy.

Let’s pray that he can keep it up I really don’t like the others all that much.

My other problem is that Santorum has a family of 6 children under the age of 16.  When is he going to be the dad that they need.  I get tired of all the people telling me they are a family man and family is everything  or a family mom (Sara) and then run for the highest office of the country and will be gone 90% of the time letting other raise their responsibilities.  That is one of the greatest problems in our society.  People not raising their own children and leaving it up to others.

Here is a novel idea;

God knows whom should be chosen to lead this Country, what if
we

 go to Him in sincere
prayer and maybe, our faculties will be enlightened and we’ll be able to discern
between the candidates qualifications and authenticity. God knows we need a
good man!

Anyone who has a job and is married with children will have the same kind of a
problem that Santorum and Palin had.  Parents need to work.
This is an old Democrat argument.  Liberals want parents not to work.  That is
why so many are unemployed.  Good old Government nanny at work here.

God Bless all

My son is back in the hospital.  He has an infection in his lung.
Please keep praying for him.

God Bless

This is not a Democratic idea.  You look at history and when mothers were mothers and taught their children at home things went better in society.  Dads went to work 8 hours a day and came home and taught their children to work for what they got.  Today moms and dads work and the daycare persons and the schools raise their children. Kids are left to come home to empty homes and to their own devices. Kids are raised with out two parents and turn to gangs for a since of belonging.  Most, not all but most, of our society’s social dependencies are based on the home or the lack of one. It is not a democratic or a republican problem it is a social problem.

IDIOT

Rick Santorum belongs the the Republican ticket no matter what… If he can’t pull off the Presidential nomination he needs to be the VP for who ever becomes the nominee …

Rick Santorum on the Republican ticket as VP will attract those voters that may not like the eventual Presidential nominee but want to vote Republican and vote against the Obama administration. Everyone has strong feelings about who they would like to see as the next President and for sake of the country we Can Not Split the vote. If you think voting for the Green party or ANY independent / write in candidate is a “cool thing to do ” or some kind of protest vote (speaking to Ron Paul supporters) if you vote for Anyone But a Republican  —
You just voted by default for Obama.

Like I said, everyone has strong feeling about who they want as our next President. In this broad field of candidates each one has something to like and not to like. There is No Perfect Candidate. We can’t bring back President Reagan , but we can get the next best option.
Voting Republican in every house and senate race we can improve the numbers there too.

The most Important thing to avoid is being a “one issue voter” THIS Election is too important not to stand united. This is our Last Chance to get it right and by that I ‘m saying get America back on track and Stop this failed social experiment we are all laboring under.

Can  President Obama be defeated in 2012?  No.  He  can’t..    I am going on record as saying that  President Barak Obama will win a second term.
The media won’t tell  you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama’s case billions) of dollars to them in advertising.
But the truth is,  there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.
The  quality of the Republican candidate doesn’t matter.  Obama gets reelected.
Nine percent unemployment?  No problem.  Obama will win. 
Gas  prices moving toward five  dollars a gallon?  He still wins. 
The economy soars or goes into the gutter.  Obama wins. 
War in the Middle East ?  He wins a second term.
America’s role as the leading Superpower disappears?  Hurrah for Barak Obama!
The U.S. Government rushes toward bankruptcy, the  dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation  fueled by Obama’s extraordinary deficit spending?  Obama wins handily.

You are crazy Williams.  Don’t you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world  conditions are declining?  Sure I do.
And that’s why I know Obama will win.  The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics.  And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated.
Even when Obama’s  policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use  to explain why it isn’t his fault.  After all, things were much worse than understood when he took  office.
Obama’s reelection is  really a very, very simple math problem.  Consider the  following:

1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly.  Period.  Doesn’t matter what he does.  It’s a race thing.  He’s one of  us,
2)  College educated women will vote for Obama.  Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory.  It’s really not more complex than that,
3)  Liberals will vote for Obama.  He is their great hope,
4)  Democrats will vote for Obama.  He is the leader of their  party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide,
5)  Hispanics will vote for Obama.  He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic  Party,
6) Union  members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama.  He is their  key to money and power in business, state and local politics,
7) Big  Business will support Obama.  They already have.  He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained  largely from his connections with Big Business and  is gaining more every day.  Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda, The  media love him.  They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him.  After all, to not love him would be racist,
9) Most  other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him.  Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won’t vote Republican.  American Indians will support him.  Obviously homosexuals tend to vote              Democratic.  And lastly,
10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama.  And he doesn’t need  anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned.  The President will win an  overwhelming victory in 2012. 
  Dr.  Walter Williams

IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE GROUP: THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO “SHAKE THE BOAT” TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVE

It’s  believed the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of  democracy, with some forty  percent of the nation’s population already having reached the  “governmental dependency” phase. 

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal  invaders called illegal’s – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the  USA in fewer than five years. 

sdnative-  I fear you are right, I pray every night you are wrong and then work every day like it depends on me.  There is comfort in knowing that God is in control but he will not succor his people when they reject him at every level like our society has done.. 

Yes, I will not vote for Romney unless he is the alternative to Obama as I will not vote for Obama.  But, I’m praying for Santorum and I hope the nation prays for a good leader. 

 Dr Williams, Very well said. I only hope your words reach some people in the groups you outlined and they figure it out…… I hope you’re wrong about the election outcome

Oh my, what a nice person you are, I bet you go to church every sunday and say what a good christian I am.

What the heck do you have a mind and a brain for?

here’s my theory on this, and it’s been my skepticism all along:  bho’s armies are voting in these caucuses pushing ahead, sometimes, gingrich and now, santorum.

when bho won the iowa caucus in 2008 i thought bho’s “community organizers” played w/that result because historically you need to win iowa to get noticed, to get money from voters and from your own party.  

isn’t it interesting santorum actually won iowa?

why would bho do this?  TO DIVIDE THE RIGHT.

that what tyrants do, divide and conquer.

Mr. kinabru, might you be on the Romney payroll by any chance?

Oh, don’t I wish.  I have researched Romney since 08, I believe he will be the best man, looks like we have one more anti-romney in Santorum, I hope that is over fast so Mitt can be the nominee.

Correct–Santorum wins only in causauses–he is at the bottom in the primaries, something isn’t right.

Oh? So it was a mistake for George Washington to be President? I never would have guessed.

Who knew?  Way to go Rick!    We’ll have to wait and see how things shape up this summer.

And just how is Romney like Obama.  Sounds like you have been listening to Santorum. He continually repeats that Romney is basically the same as Obama and that Romneycare and Obamacare are the same. I though for more than a moment about whether Santorum is electable. do not believe he is. Would  love to stop hearing the anti-Romney and the conservative alternative to Romney. If there is one he is not in the election at this time.

I agree, G.K.  Neither do I.

A lot of our founding fathers were deitists, Ben Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe were respectful of Christianity, they admired the ethics of Jesus, and believed that religion could play a beneficial role in society, but they tended to deny the divinity of Christ, and a few seem to have been agnost about the very existense of God.

Jefferson, took parts of the bible that he liked and made his own bible. Do some reading and you won’t need to guess.

sdnative,  Your post depresses me, but sounds about right.  I will vote for the Rep. as I

did in ’08.   Alas, I expect the same results as then, even though I hope for the best.

After 4 more years of B.O., how much will the US have changed by ’16?    By then, I

may be too senile to care—-if I’m lucky.

If Santorum is a phony, he’s the most convincing one I’ve seen to date.  As for Ron Paul…he has a few really great ideas, but then he makes statements (like his “foreign policy” ideas) that make him sound like a madman!  Combine that with his attack ads against all the other candidates, and he’s the most divisive candidate out there (omitting Obama himself, that is)!  Paul can’t beat Obama, and seems to be trying his hardest to make sure none of the other “conservative” candidates gets the opportunity, either.  He bothers me, if for no other reason than his desire to destroy his opponents.  We don’t need that…especially in this election!  We need to present as solid a group of candidates as we can, because you can bet it all that the libs are listening and digging, getting ready to give Obama the ammunition he needs/wants to DESTROY our candidate.  I believe Santorum can stand toe-to-toe with Obama and come away unscathed in a debate.  He has the moral and ethical background for the job.  By the way, kinabru, is it you, or do I smell a lib in RINO clothing in here tonight?!

I have no moral objections to Santorum. Knock Obama outta there!

Romney is not a conservative. Never has been, never will be. Romney  praised the late Sen. Kennedy for helping him to fashion Romney-care and for helping him getting it passed. There was an individual Mandate in the bill. Romney supported the mandate. It was unconstitutional then and it is unconstitutional now.Romney and Obama agree on the individual mandate. On socialized government control of health care. When Romney ran against Kennedy for the U.S. Senate he ran to the left of Kennedy. Romney ran as an ‘Independent Progressive’. 
No, Romney has never been a true constitutional conservative. On multiple issues Romney was like Obama: Romney-care, Global warming, Cap and trade, 
pro choice, Romney should have vetoed a  Democrtic 
passedhealth bill with a mandate and let the legislature overide his veto. Thye proof of the pudding? If Pomney was such a good Governor why did he choose not to run for re-election? Because he knew he cou;d not win. his record as governor was not good.( 47th in job creation- Tax increases,). The conservative base of the Republicn base does not want a moderate, Establishment Republican in the white house. And establishment Republican Presidential Candidates are losers. i.e.
Sitting President Gerald Ford to liberal Jimmy Carter. Sitting President Bush,Sr. to Liberal Bill Clinton. Sen, Bob Dole to Bill Clinton. Sen. John McCain to ultra liberal, inexperienced Barack Obama.
Conservative Ronald Reagan swamped Carter in 1980 and in 1984 Reagan won 49 States, losing only Minnesota.Santorum is the Best Candidate the Republican party can run to beat Obama. If the establishment Republicans unite behind Santorum he will easily defeat Obama. If the Republican establishment ( and there is a republican Establishment ) want to take back our Constitutional, Representative Republic the need to put aside their selfish personal self interests and back
Santorum on principles and financially. Obama has promised to “Fundamentally Transform this Nation”. Obama took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. He is not keeping that oath. Obama-care, Recess appointments while the congress is NOT in recess. Taking away the freedom of religious organization 
by mandating that they subvert their religious tenets to the 
central powerful intrusive government. That is in violation of the first amendment. Freedom of Religious organiations was upheld @yahoo-PHU6HOFSJ4UXTNMZIS7WMY5CBE:disqus Santorum and a re 2 years ago when the Supreme Court rejected the Government Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by voting 9 to 0 that a Lutheran church was right in firing on of it’s Ministers who disagreed with a Church position. Thirty five czars in the white House appointed without Senate Advise and Consent. Obama using Ms Jackson at EPA to shut down coal mines, coal fired electric power plants, closing down fisheries, blocking permits for oil and nat. gas deep water drilling, the White house appointment of a man to represent illegal aliens’ interests re their rights and in deportation cases. Obama’s Dream Act fails in congress. Obama uses Homelandsecurity and ICE to go around congress and establish a path for illegal alkiens going to college and/or serving in the military to gain a pth to citizenship. Obama’s Goal: Bigger more powerful, more intrusive central government forcing their will on the the people, on businesses and doing away with individusl sovereign rights, Free market capitalism, Rule by executive Fiat and ultimately the destruction of our civil society and the transformation of our beloved Republic into a Euro-Socialist Democracy with a One World Order. Obama and his Do Nothing U.S. Senate  Liberal comrades must be defeated in November and replaced with Constitutional Conservative legislators in order for the American people to take back our Constitutional Republic.

Please tell me if I’m wrong, but does the office of President really mean that who ever sits in that office is “The All Powerfull One”? Isn’t our House and Senate the place where the real power is sitting? I think that is where the changes need to be made.

I forgot. Santorum’s voting record all thos years he
spent in the House and senate by conservative organizations was 88-96 %. Romney not close.

Lincoln was not a business man. Reagan was not a business man. Both great presidents and both Constitutional Republicans. Hoover was a successful business, Carter was a successful business man. Enuf said.

Good Morning Guys;

I must say that I was VERY happy to see Santorum win these three States.  I have never been a Romney backer because he is a RINO. I am older than you guys so I remember the issues Gingrich had when he was Speaker. There is no way I would vote for him because I agree with what I heard a couple of days ago when someone referred to him as “Obama light”.  He certainly is NOT a conservative and that, as you know, is what this country needs right now. 

I would love to see Santorum win this and then do a slam dunk on Obama bin Laden in November. We simply cannot sustain another four years of Socialism in this country.

There are some very hard decisions ahead for Santorum if he does win. Cutting costs in the federal government will likely mean elimination of certain government agencies.  The Department of Education would be very high on my list if I were him. 

Taking control of other agencies by limiting the number and kinds of “regulations” that the radicals in those agencies inflict on our businesses and working people.  EPA and Department of the Interior would take some significant slashings in their regulations and their regulating abilities.

Is there any way we could arrest Obama and his Czars for treason?  If it were possible, this would absolutely be on the very top of my list.  Make them pay for the violations of our Constitution and our Federal laws. Arrest Obama and Holder as accessories to murder in the Fast and Furious issue, 

I could go on but it’s time for a cup of coffee.  Have a great day. 

I don’t remember hearing anything about religion in this issue. Religious right? Just in case you aren’t getting it, this is a fight to get a “common sense” president into our white house. It is about kicking the socialists to the curb? It is about restoring freedom and sanity to our government. It’s about having a president who will work to make this country great again by controlling costs and allowing private businesses to put people back to work again. 

You need to get with the program. 

Having Santorum win would be a great help for the Democrats.
The DNC could use national election money to focus and local and state elections.
The only thing the DNC needs now is for glenn beck to throw his full support behind Santorum.  his pitiful and depleting cult, as well as the fact that he is a laughing stock to America make his endorsement the curse of death.

Wow, well put. I wish I said all that.  I will be praying for
Santorum.
And I just want to add that our country needs to put GOD back in the drivers seat.  We need to realize that HE is watching and we need to seek HIS will and seek to please HIM!

Just for you little man:

For today, and every day you post here, I will post your lies on every comment you make on this site…. Your hate and ignorance is not winning any converts here. You’re the butt of jokes and ridicule.Please see a professional about your fixation on little children strtlk/mtclayboy.You’ve been caught in your lies and have no credibility here. You’re a Wikipedia sailor and a lying puke.

1. As mtclayboy you claimed that you served on a BOOMER. As strtlk you claimed not to know what a Boomer or a SSBN was “I don’t care” were your exact words. You also stated that you didn’t know where Bangor, Wa. was which is where Boomers (submarines) are fitted for duty.Any real Submariner would know that. You didn’t!

2. You then changed your story and claimed that you were on a BOOMER. You lied.

3. As mtclayboy you claimed that you had damaged your ears while serving on a Submarine. As strtlk, you claimed that you damaged your ears while serving on a submarine.

4. As mtclayboy you claimed that you joined the Navy and served for five years on a submarine but according to the timeline you gave that was proven to be a lie. You lied.

5. As mtclayboy you said that you were a Fireman. As strtlk, you claimed you were a Fireman.

6. As mtclayboy and as strtlk, you posted the same bigotry and hate against Glenn Beck almost word for word even using the same spelling and grammatical errors and focusing on the children. I’ve posted many of them here already.

Are you catching on everyone? He’s a liar plain and simple and nothing he claims can be believed.

Take your bigotry and hate and Phony Soldier ID and leave us honest people alone?

Flag the idiot.

Your stupidity is showing again even Mr.Ed can beat your God Obama. He even pissed off the Jews and the Catholics beside morons like you who drink the cool aid instead of common sense. Stay stupid you are the king of the morons.

shore thing anytime sir.

No just Romneycare.

Rick Santorum is the only one who I would vote for.  If any of the other candidates got the nomination I would not vote for them, instead it would be a vote against Obama, just like John McCain.  I hope I get a chance too actually vote for someone this time instead of against someone.
Your post was right on

Glenn Beck was correct and I was wrong.

This is clearly not a two person race between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

Indeed it is now clear that if anyone can beat Romney to the nomination that person is Rick Santorum.

I was wrong (utterly wrong) and I apologize.

Sara Palin and Michelle Bachman are not men, but they are both more capable than Mitt Romney.  What you wrote is insulting to women and men under 60. 

How can we get rid of this guy? I can’t stand seeing his posts anymore.

Romney only wins liberal states…which btw only 3, that is what he has won.
Santorum has won 4

I used to be a big fan of Glenn’s, but a glaring reality keeps hitting me in the face. If Glenn realizes that the Nations economy is heading for a cliff, why does he want to keep the same old foreign policy that involves occupation and nation building, neither of which we can afford? Why isn’t he for the only candidate talking about Liberty and fiscal responsability? The hypocracy is too much for me, I’m bailing. Someone must have either threatened his life, or payed him off, either way, I’m bailing. RON PAUL 2012

Mitt Romney will now switch his attacks to Rick Santorum, because he is becoming a threat.  His fellow moderate(liberal) pal John McCain was on Fox and Friends this morning trashing Rick.  It gave new meaning to those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. 

At least he doesn’t stand there with a dumb patronizing smile on his face.  I

Fortunately Newt’s #s are on their way down. Santorum and Romney are the two left for whom I could happily pull the lever. Romney has committed the same errors (but in a different way) as Huntsman did. He is much more conservative than his record shows. His record is a product of MA politics. King Reagan was not seen as the Conservative Giant coming out of CA either. Study your history!! 

You answered the question yourself RomneyCare= Obama Care. 

Do you have his IQ results?

I noticed that too, the media tried to play down his victories.  Almost like they tried to hide it.

Luv it

If his record does not show he is a conservative. how do we know if he is?  Should we take his word for it?  This makes no sense. 

I don’t think I tried holy water yet. What we can do is keep flagging the bigot until he gets kicked out but until then I am going to have as much fun as a can with the bigot.

luv it

The elitists in the Republican Party made their commitment to Romney a long time ago because they feel he can bring over the Moderates and Independents.  I’ve got news for them.  The so called moderates and Independents want to hear solutions to problems and I think the majority of them have had enough of the Socialist State and want to go back to the principles of the Constitution and more limited government.  McCain also thought his moderate message could win the day, but as we all know, he was rejected because of it.  Liberal people will never vote for a Republican no matter what.  Ronald Reagan had the Conservative message and could communicate it and he won in a landslide against the Progressive ideology.

I like alot of Ron Paul’s ideas, too be honest his foreing policy stance is scary.  He always blames America.  When he speaks about foreign policy he sounds anti American.  Glenn said he liked Ron Paul’s stance on certain things, except his foreign policy.  Why is this hypocritical?

I think you are right.  But the establishment wants Romney because they are moderate too.  Two parties same results.

Pathetic

 That is where you are wrong. We need someone with integrity.

as for aid to other countries. we loan them big bucks then forgive the loan so they don’t go communist and then….they go communist. then we give them more cash for them to “think’ about going non-communist. while they are thinking we continue to send out the cash bait. if i keep losing my bait while fishing i go to another spot to fish.

lincoln violated the contitution when he declared war on the south without permition from the legislature

ROFL you think? of course they are covering them diferently. they arn’t obama and they didn’t get permition to cover santorum. they were told that he was going to lose. how dare he win?

there are also laws against price gouging that keep the drug companies from over charging…when enforced. i supose that you would ask that those companies make the drugs at a loss. did you know that the us has no company that makes vacsines. that is because goverment put too much demand on the ones that were making it and it just costs less to import them from other contries. unfortunatly, those countrys that make them for us are also the ones that hate us. that is big goverment at work

I think it is Miss, because kinabru seems to have a crush on Romney. 

cutting the department of eduation? but the childern would have no education. oh, yeah. they have no education “with” the department of education as it is. just what exactly do they do? the childern are coming out of the schools dumber then when they went in.

I am sure Pat Grey is very giddy about Santorum’s recent attention in the campaign. However, Santorum is just not getting the money he needs to continue and he doesn’t have an existing support structure in place like Romney and Paul. Santorum and Gingrich won’t be there in the end because neither planned their campaigns and are just flying by the seat of their pants. Paul has the right answers to America’s ills, but the GOP just doesn’t want him or his policies (anti-Soros agenda).    

How do you bomb a caliphate? According to Beck and his experts, the caliphate is the silent war against the western way of life. Iran’s alleged nuclear bomb is a secondary threat and can be handled. What can you do about the calipahate?

You may still be wrong about Santorum.

so, if i don’t support your guy i am a “so called christian”? who made you god. get a grip guy. i don’t know romney except by what i see, but i don’t see that much in him. just because your so much in love with the guy don’t give you the right to deminish my religious convictions

Of course they tried to hide it.  The media is so far left it’s sickening.  I’ve always  wondered why the media supports only Obama.  I think I found the answer last week when Obama threatened to shut down, or at least severely restrict the media’s use (and ours) of the internet.  The internet is the media’s life line, their bread and butter so to speak.  In fear, the media is going to go along to get along with the government (Obama.)  How would they, or any of us for that matter, communicate with other parts of the world, communicate without reprisal from the government.  We couldn’t.  With Facebook, Goggle, and a few others having already sold their very soles to the devil (the government), no one would have a prayer getting anything posted on the internet. 

I have  Facebook and  Goggle accounts.  I signed up before they got in bed with the government and agreed to share everything their customers post.  I tried to cancel both accounts,  Neither company allows it.  So I removed both from my computer.  It’s not like I sent anything via internet even remotely threatening, I just don’t believe my internet correspondence is anyone’s business but mine and to whom ever I’m corresponding with.  It’s unfortunate because my family is spread from one side of the United States to the other.  So far though I still send regular emails and, if I’m really desperate, I use snail-mail. 

Let’s hope Mercury Radio (GBTV) has something up their sleeves that will give us another way of communication (using our computers) without relying on the internet as it stands today.  I’m not positive, but last week I think Glenn may have hinted at something coming down the pike to rescue everyday people (you and I) using the internet. 

I hope so

yeah, i looked at your little thing. it does not say he is againt the space program, just that we can’t afford it until we get this defficit thing down. in other words…he was being a conservative

THANK YOU for setting the record straight. Everything you just said is factual  but many will still ignore it.Santorum would be a very weak candidate. I do not like hypocrisy. Santorum talks a lot about his religion but then lies over and over again about Romney
I would like to see more of Romney as in the last debate.

Name one issue Franken is conservative on…please.Romney does not surpport universal healthcare and would repeal it. You must have used a lying anti romney source to get you so called facts.

Your logical reasoning seems to be way off. i prefer toget the facts.

you are both right and wrong. the power is in “both” places. we need to take the white house, but we need to take the house and senate seats too.

I cannot say that your statement that more Ron Paul supporters will vote for is wrong, but I am one Ron Paul supporter who would not vote for him.  My reasons are that he voted for the USAPATRIOT Act and then voted to extend it, he voted to increase the debt ceiling 5 out of 6 times during his tenure in the Congress, and he voted against the National Right to Work Act.  I suspect that many Ron Paul supporters would be discouraged to vote for Santorum for at least one of those reasons.

Romney has been vetted and we know he is not conservative.  You will never convince conservatives that he is.  That is just the truth, like it or not. 

Romney supports TARP, Romney supports cap and trade and Romney passed Romney Care which is what Obama care was based on, he even thanked Romney for. Enough facts.  Romney is not conservative. What has he done that can be cited as conservative?  Please give me the facts.

I will answer that. What about his foreign policy is “scary?” The answer : nothing. To say we should police the world, “spread democracy,” prop up dictators and bomb/invade any country that does not go along with what we decree is false. Those are other sovereign nations, we have no right to tell them what they can or can not do. Having bases in over 140 countries around the world is not helping either. Most people do not want a foreign occupation in their country. Last, but certainly not least, Ron Paul is not anti-American for speaking the truth. People think that because he thinks we need to take responsibility for the nasty things our government has done around the world. We want those terrorists to take responsibility for their actions, and they should but we do not have to take responsibility for our own? That would mean we are hypocrites and you wonder why other countries hate us. Most americans live with their head in the sand and think our government can do no wrong, Ron Paul is simply having an honest conversation, but most Americans refuse to see that.

It’s far from over and Ron Paul has a couple of second place finishes also. So much for Santorum and Paul being “unelectable.”

Hey, it’s sticky chin. Do you ever get tired of being a left wing shill?

He constantly blames America.  He blames Americans for September 11.  He says if we stop bombing them they will leave us alone.  No one was bombing them on Sept 11.
The people who died in the Twin Towers didn’t do a damn thing to anyone.

I agree we should not police the world, but if we are attacked will Ron Paul ask them to follow the golden rule, and blame us,

That is B S, people like you think our government has done no wrong and that blowback does not exist. It does. Those terrorists may need to take responsibility for what they have done, but when are we going to stop living with our heads in the sand and realize that our government has done a lot of nasty things also. Americans never want to take responsibility for those things and always think it’s someone else’s fault. You are naive enough to think that we were not dropping bombs on Sept. 11. Even if no bombs were dropped on Sept 11, you honestly think that the things our government has done in the PAST have not had an effect? Please, and you call Ron Paul’s ideas scary. This is exactly why no honest conversation about this can happen, people who always want to blame someone else. You sound like Obamao. 

P.S. You, obviously, do not have any clue what the “Golden Rule” is, here’s a hint, “do on to others…”

Okay, are you saying all the Americans that died on Sept 11 deserved it because America is evil.  Do you think the tyrant in Iran will follow the GOLDEN RULE.  I am sorry I do not believe Americans should give their lives in payment for our so called evils.

Are you serious, the problem with a lot of you on this blog is that you can’t read and understand what you are reading.  I was making an analogy–Santorum seems inmature I don’t have confidence in him, Romney is very able and mature, it has nothing to do with age,   Do you understand, nothing to do with age—some people are mature at a young age some never do mature.  How in the world do you get that I was insulting to women?

No one has said that, not even Dr. Paul. You can live with your head in the sand if you choose. If you think all the things our government has done around the world are not having any effect, you are sadly mistaken. I see you have no argument for my post, so you just post sarcasm. By the way, no one said Americans should give their lives in payment. The simple point is this, keep denying all the things our government has done and the effect it has had. Then, keep doing those same things and expect a different result.

The definition of insanity : Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.  – Albert Einstein

P.S. Maybe we would not have the problem with Iran today if the CIA had not propped up the Shah in the 50s through the 70s. That’s when the people revolted and took out the Shah and installed this government we have to deal with today. 

If that is what you want, then Romney is your man, he will be able to trim the wastes from our gov.and get our country working again.

In 08 Santorum endorsed Romney, in 08 he was the conservative candidate, he is even more conservative today.  None of the candidates running are real conservatives, they have all done and voted for things that aren’t real conservative, saying Romney is not a conservative is just hype.

I agree about the Shah, and yes our government has done questionable things.  In the debates in 2008 Dr Paul had a heated exchange with Juliano about Sept 11, he blamed America for it. 
I like Ron Paul, and agree with most of his stances on the issues.  I just don;t agree with his foreign policy stance, 
Some of what he proposes may work with some groups.  But I doubt it will change anything with others.
I don’t think it would have worked on the Soviets. 
I respect your opinion, Just because someone else doesn’t agree with you …..doesn’t mean they agree with Obama.
Ron Paul is my second choice after Rick Santorum.

As Is stated before, blowback does exist and Sept 11 is part of that, just like the first WTC bombing, the Marine barracks, the Cole…
That is a fact that the CIA admits.
The Obamao reference was about not taking responsibility, most Americans refuse to take responsibility for the things our government has done, IN OUR NAMES. Obamao refuses to take responsibility, for anything.

I guess we will never know whether it would work or not, no one is even willing to try it. We do seem to be willing to do the same things that got us into the mess and expect a different result. Comparing Iran to the Soviets is beyond a disengenuous comparison.

Absolutely Santorum is a better conservative candidate than Romney & he would draw Paul supporters. On the other hand being  conservative as Santorum is he could drive some moderates back to Obama as well.
All in all in a head to head battle Santorum vs Obama would give voters a clearer choice as to what direction they want the country to move in.
Left as it more or less is now or further back to the right … I would like that choice. I would go with Santorum. I think he can do it once the U.N. world power issue that Obama is supporting comes to the forefront. Down deep people really want some opposition as to what the current administration is projecting and Santorum offers more than Romney would if he were the candidate.

That is correct about regulations, Santorum should know that but he gave that lady who asked about the high costs of drugs about what he would do was no answer.  Yes, I know we don’t make vaccines in this country, some of it is because of lawsuits. Some of the vaccines are made in England and europe, they don’t hate us.  Santorum was a “consultant” for UHC, so maybe he doesn’t want to get involved with doing anything about the high costs of drugs. 

On being offended about Sully Erna.  So what,  Grey wolf…german uboats?

Santorum won in three states that doesn’t award any delegates right now, MO has their primary in March where they do award delegates—Santorum spent 22 days in those 3 states, Romney only spent 2.  In Florida and Neveda Romney won a cross section of people, he won tea party and conservatives, you are posting untruths.

Nevada votes for Harry Reid.  You are right not liberal at all
