A second Obama term will do nothing to decrease or eliminate abortion in America. Santorum is a big fat pitch that the Left would love us to throw.
I will be voting for Santorum in our primary. Early voting is presently on going, and it ends February 28. I will probably vote then. Our county taxes are due the next day, but the office where I pay the taxes is in the same area as the election commission
If Santorum gets the nomination, will he choose Gingrich for VP?
If Romney gets the nomination, God help us, will he choose Ron Paul or Santorum or?
I would have no problem if Santorum would choose Newt as VP, although I would rather see him as Chief of Staff or as his adviser. I would have to hold my nose so hard that I would pass out if Romney gets the nomination and he chooses Paul as his VP
that’s right....Newt will just ask Pelosi to sit on a couch with em
you do remember Newt having a congenial exchange/debate with Clinton during BJ’s term. Newt backed down when Clinton played hard ball....AND there is the Pelosi AGW incident.
I don’t dislike Newt. I will take him over Romney or Paul but please do not pretend that he is somehow a warrior that will uphold our values. He is a thinker who loves to chase ideas.
“I would have no problem if Santorum would choose Newt as VP”
Newt wouldn’t accept to be VP to anyone.
He’s not running for an accessit, but for the office of President.
as an adversary I agree I’d look at the two, and Newt strikes me as the one more likely to nuke me.
and remember that The O and Mooch will continue and enlarge the policies you hate. Sometimes being self-righteous only leads to further destruction
False logic....a second term for O would most definitely INCREASE abortion and reduce our God given rights ( through imprisonment if necessary)
You can stick your fingers in your ears and sing la-la-la all day long if you want. O is a clear and present danger to the country and the Constitution. What more call to arms do you need?????
I appreciate your adherence to a strict pro-life position, but I simply cannot understand the argument you make here.
If a million babies are being killed, and I can pass a law that saves 1/10th of them, I shouldn’t do it because I can’t save all one million of them?
You could make the same argument against people picketing an abortion clinic — they might stop someone from going in, but if they go home at the end of the day, people can get in after they leave, and people can go to another clinic, so if you don’t picket all of them 24 hours a day, it’s like you are saying “I’m only opposed to abortions happening in this one clinic during the hours I can be here”.
Am hearing something of Newt’s folks saying “vote Rick” in MI, just to wrench Mitt’s gears. If Rick wins MI, would this not be his first actual win in a true Primary? He won’t win MI, but he is making Mitt burn through more of Ann’s money. This is a Chess game not checkers. Newt was “cheerful” for good reason not necessarily connected to last debate.
Regarding Christie, I don’t care if Jesus was from New Jersey, he’d still be tainted with that indelible NJ stain.
There are valid reasons to prefer Newt to Santorum and a lot of reasons not to like Rick S.
However, many of them are trivial such as his appearance and my own loathing for the sweater vests.
We shouldn’t waste our time with these stupid things. It looks right now like Santorum is the conservative with the momentum and I suggest we learn to like him.
Right now the media and Romney are trying to paint Santorum as a man who would create a theocracy and snatch birth control pills out of the hands and mouths of women. People have fallen for this. We should be too smart to do so.
It’s obvious now that the creepy little cretin Ron Paul is supporting Romney so most of his votes would go there if he bowed out.
Newt is polling pretty low but I’m still not ready to suggest he drop out and send his votes to Santorum.
I like Newt too much to suggest that, but I do suggest we drop our petty little prejudices about Santorum.
I just wish we could meld the two: Santorum’s squeaky clean family and personal history with Newt's legislative experience and quick wit.
Except, that’s NOT the way it actually works out.
When you continue to sacrifice the only moral, constitutional and legal argument against the practice of abortion, in fact you assure that ALL of the babes will continue to be killed.
We have forty years of blood-drenched history to prove it.
There’s nothing at all “self-righteous” about simply pointing the people back to this republic’s plumb line of principle.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men...”
— The Declaration of Independence
“We the People of the United States, in Order to...secure the Blessings of Liberty to...our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
— The Preamble, or Statement of Purpose, of the United States Constitution
“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.”
— The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution
“No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
— The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
“The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a ‘person’ within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.”
— Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973
“You shall not murder.”
— Exodus 20:13
“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Don’t fall for this. The media and Obama and maybe Romney are trying to paint Santorum as someone who would try to rule women regarding contraceptives.
He’s actually said nothing definitive about his own beliefs, except to point out that 40% of births in America now are to single mothers and the percentage is much higher in minorities.
These babies are born into situations where they have little chance of having a successful life. Statistics show that babies born into two-parent families have a MUCH better chance of succeeding.
There are exceptions both ways, of course, but this is the norm.
Santorum has shown no inclination of mandating any of his personal beliefs into law, except for making abortion illegal which it should be.
If you had indeed simply pointed people back to basic principles it would have been one thing, You on the other hand went on a rant worthy of the left. It still does not address the real and present danger that O is t this country
It would cause me incredible pain to vote for Romney or that crazy little cretin Ron Paul.
I would feel the pain and do it to get rid of Obama.
Praying it won’t come to that.
