RICK SANTORUM IS NOTHING BUT A STALKING HORSE FOR ROMNEY!

Remember that refrain? Last I checked, Newt was encouraging Republicans to rally around Romney.

Ironic, isn't it?

Yes, Santorum has flaws, but I really admire him for what he was able to do in 2012.

Today I had a thought that might get us through this crap sandwich we’ve gotten rammed down our throats call Romney.

Phase 1 - Convince Romney to select a reliable conservative as VP.

Phase 2 - Focus all of our energy at defeating Obama.

Phase 3 - Summon up all the courage we can to hold down the bile as are forced to vote for Romney.

Phase 4 - Impeach Romney at the first offense thus placing a conservative in the oval office.

This is the best I scenario I can think of that keeps Obama from being reelected and Romney from being Romney. I had such high hopes for this year and we got a punked.

"People close to Santorum said, he wants assurances from Romney that the party's platform would represent conservatives' interests, and that Romney would govern as a conservative. Unlike Gingrich, Santorum also doesn't need Romney's help to retire campaign debt."

I am not attacking and I will not attack Gingrich or Santorum for endorsing Romney. Unless they're going to bolt from the Republican Party, that is unavoidable.

Those of us who are not in elected office have more freedom than they do.

As conservatives, we've lost the race to win the Republican Party's presidential nomination. I don't think mutual bashing between the Gingrich and Santorum supporters helps anyone. Let's try to figure out what we're going to do to pick up the pieces after Romney loses this fall.
