Former Republican presidential contender and Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Rick Santorum announced the formation of a new conservative group Friday, saying it will seek to thwart President Obama's bid for re-election in 2012.

"The defeat of Barack Obama, and those who support his policies, will be our first priority."

I don't know why, but I'm reminded of a joke from junior high school: What's the definition of gross? You kiss your granny goodbye and she slips you the tongue. Romney. The Rombots are right: he's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Maybe better, maybe not. Probably not. Screw him and his robots. And Ann Coulter and her Adam's apple. And Innovative. S/he's gotta be a paid operative. S/he comes on this conservative site, like a striped pole-cat, and sprays everything--over-and-over-- with this foul lefty scent: `Vote for Romney Or You're Going To Hell!'. So screw him/her too.

” And Romney’s last few months of speeches suggest he actually hears us Tea Partiers (something McCain never did).”

You mean like when he chose an Obamacare advocate to lead his transition team?

“with this foul lefty scent: `Vote for Romney Or You’re Going To H&ll!’. “

What I say is not important — the point is that EVERY thinking conservative, including Santorum, Gingrich and anyone else you can think of ARE SAYING THE SAME THING: “VOTE FOR ROMNEY TO DEFEAT OBAMA”.

And any conservative who stays home or votes third party is enabling an Obama second term.

You can throw temper tantrums or you like,but facts are facts. The “lefty scents” come from those who are promoting that conservatives stay home or vote third party TO ENABLE OBAMA.

Bork is a gun control advocate. Good fit for someone who passed restrictive gun control

The attitude you addressed is way to prevalent for my tastes. I don’t feel like I belong here.

Saintorum has already done enough damage in this election cycle.

This zealot loon will not get my support on anything he might be involved in.

Here is just one simple example of your Ricky’s commitment to the constitution and the rule of law.

Frankly, that phony makes me want to gag.

OK, forget Santorum.

Based on your tagline, you supported Newt — well, guess what, Newt is supporting Romney and has been campaigning for him. He also understands that it is imperative for the survival of the country that Obama be defeated.

"What I say is not important — the point is that EVERY thinking conservative, including Santorum, Gingrich and anyone else you can think of ARE SAYING THE SAME THING: “VOTE FOR ROMNEY TO DEFEAT OBAMA”."

Yes, this is another of the memes being pushed, isn't it? Unless you vote for Romney, you're a knuckle-dragging toothless hillbilly; those voting for Willard are the elite, the intellectually gifted, the brilliant. It's all very liberal in tone. (I remember audio from one of Romney's campaign stops....some metrosexual said, "I am a Romney supporter and I am PROUD to say that I'm also an elitist").

Never before have I seen conservatives who cannot vote for an abortion-pusher & sodomite lover mocked and discounted by their fellow conservatives for their decision. Some of us feel---no, scratch that, it isn't a feeling, it's a conviction and a KNOWLEDGE---that God is telling us not to associate ourselves with someone like Romney. For paying attention to Him, well, then, that makes us self-righteous, "pure", etc. I'm neither righteous nor pure, but my spiritual Spidey sense is telling me this is serious business. Yeah, it makes me sick that I can't vote against Obama. But I'm going to listen to what God's been telling me.

“God is telling us not to associate ourselves with someone like Romney”

I really doubt that God is telling you to help Obama get reelected, which is the result of you voting for someone other than Romney or not voting.

Geez :

I post I don’t like Santorum and you jump to one of the dumbest conclusions I have ever read.

Where Oh my learned FR iend have I ever said Obama was “good enough” for me?

Just because I don’t like Romney and think Santorum was working for Romney the whole time certainly does not mean I would ever support an idiot like Obama.

Thanks for the clarification. :)

The point is that the primaries are over, the past is the past and what we are facing today is Obama or Romney.
