Yes, a 2 week old story that may have been based upon a lie.
I guess what this proves is facts are unimportant. What is truly important is the perception created by the media, facts be damned.
What took this idiots so long to do a recount? What were they doing, counting on their fingers and toes? All of the MSM reports had Romney doing the unprecedented—winning both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. He won New Hampshire because he’s lived there for years and spent millions on advertising. Santorum won Iowa. He doesn’t live there and he spent a fraction of the amount Romney did. He spent far less than Gingrich and he beat Gingrich.
There’s one frontrunner here and his name is Rick Santorum. It’s about time the news media, the RNC, Romney backers, and Newt backers realized it.
Cut through the fog and get to the heart of he matter. The TRUTH is Santorum would not, could not have ‘won’ Iowa and neither could romney IF romney hadn’t spent millions lying about Newt Gingrich. Santorum owes his ‘win’ or second place spot to mitt romney, not to anything he did. Some of you might not like it, but facts is facts. Santorum was my guy until he started acting like romney and dissing Gingrich rather than offer his own response to romney. This never should have happened.
Now that romney has repaid his kindness by going all out negative on Santorum, Santorum cries foul. Karma is bitch. And Rick lost me when he cried FOR romney and dissed Gingrich, yet has the audacity to place an ad with Newt sitting on the couch with pelosi as if none of us have ever seen it before. This is a side of Santorum that should have best stayed out of sight.
Gingrich didn’t go behind Rick’s back to ask him to step aside. He was pretty open and up front about it. Shame on Newt for stating the obvious. Santorum could have simply said no. Instead he starts an all out negative attack on Gingrich which can only help romney. I am very disappointed.
