Sorry “Failure to endorse Gingrich” does not equal “Washington Insider sell out.”
Talk about bloviating, this one takes the cake.
Calling Rick silly names because he won’t endorse Newt ain’t gonna help Newt, any more than calling Newt names a couple of weeks ago because he wouldn’t endorse Rick would have helped Rick.
At most, it just annoys people.
Ordinarily, no. But when the only other option is Mitt Romney, the establishment candidate, it certainly does have a whiff of selling-out.
Santorum is a conservative, so why would he endorse Gingrich?
Thank you... exactly the point.
It's probably just smart politics. I don't think Gingrich can win at this point no matter how strongly Santorum endorses him.
So why do it?
FIFY
Ah, our side. we never hesitate to run down the hill and shoot the wounded.
Six paragraphs to repeat a couple of things, over and over?
Santorum: Zimmerman ‘has a very sick mind,’ motive ‘a malicious one’
Right on!
Correct... It is his voting record as a senator that makes him a sell out....
Like Santorum did to Zimmerman?
What is the point of endorsing a man who has won but TWO states out of thirty-something? NO, it would not help Newt. It is too late. This is getting as silly as the Ron Paul meme from his supporters. We may have had had our day if Palin ran, or if enough Republicans were strong-minded enough to resist the phony Romney attack ads against Santorum. But it’s freakin’ over, Folks! Bob
I said that from the beginning - Mitt surrounding himself with ‘conservatives’ who where politically hungry - the mark that they can be bought out.
MB, Cain and Santorum and, of course, his cousin were his protectors - so it appeared as if there were many choices and, the end, mitt would be the preferred candidate. MB attacked Perry unmercifully and gave the maggot mitt a total free pass. Cain’s answer to anything was 9-9-9. Not one of these attacked mitt except Perry and the media side with mitt and called Perry sour grapes. Then Cain accused Perry’s campaign of those women coming forward. It confirmed it for me he was a mittbot as anyone w/a half a brain knew it was mitt’s mo as Cain was the #1 candidate at the time - he had stuff on them all if they suddenly ‘took off’ ahead of him. Not strange Cain supports mitt now, so will MB.
Towards the end of the debates Santorum went after Romney about Romneycare but softly enough for Romney could lie about it and blame others for it.
Then both Rick and Mitt both went after Newt with millions upon millions of attack ads that were damnable lies! I watched the debates with no dog in the race - clear vision of dirty politics in play all done to deceive voters that the candidates were above board.
Everything all according to script designed since ‘08 with his political team. The ones mitt surrounded himself with didn’t even have qualifications to be president! Voters just wanted them and didn’t care. It was horrible to watch. They were all duped.
I agree, but I think that like me, Rick came to assume that the two-week silence by law enforcement in Fl. smelled of a cover-up. You know, I had a first cousin murdered in Fl, and since the perps were politically connected and wealthy, authorities tried everything to sweep it under the rug. Of course, the silence in the Martin case amounted to either stupidity or naivete, we now know. Bob
Let’s wait and see how the PA primary turns out. Rick could win. My absentee ballot was mailed before he dropped out.
Well, you have 535 “sell-outs” in every Congress then, except for Ron Paul, who hungrily loads appropriation bills with excessive pork, then smarmily votes against the bills. Rick Santorum is a helluva man and leader. You have an incapacity for imagining how much one can accomplish *from the inside*, and Santorum was masterful. Perfect no, effective and principled, YES! bOB
