Well good luck getting you hero Romney elected. Leave me out. I could tell from the beginning you wanted Romney. Next time be more transparent.
If Obama is allowed a second term, the America all of grew up in will be no more. This is deadly serious stuff here. This is no longer just an election that we can afford to lose or change it later after Obama is gone.
Can you even fathom how serious this actually is?
This is just sour grapes. Screaming that everyone who couldn't support Santorum wanted Romney is childish. Virtually no one here ever wanted the chameleon as our nominee.
Many Newt supporters weren't behind Gingrich from the beginning. A lot of people, including myself, were for other candidates like Perry, or Bachmann or someone else from the outset. When our first choices were eliminated we tried to get behind a reasonable consensus candidate who had a legitimate chance to stop Romney and win the nomination if enough people would use logic. That person was Newt. Instead many social conservative voters did exactly what they so often do, support the guy who has no chance to win but can quote scripture best. We've seen this with Pat Robertson, Mike Huckabee and now Rick Santorum.
No candidate who thinks as President that he needs to begin a national conversation on why contraception is "not okay" is going to win. It's just not going to happen. Santorum never had a chance to reach outside of his social conservative base because he is too easy to bait into talking about condoms, porn, etc. Newt was probably a long shot, but he at least gave us a chance to change the dynamic, take on the media and establishment, and maybe really change conventional thinking and do something big. I think it was a big missed opportunity that so many invested time and energy into Santorum when he had about as much chance of being the nominee as Robertson or Huckabee - none.
