Maybe we'll finally have somebody who stays focused on the important issues...

Notice who is NOT begging to speak at the convention?

[RIghtwardHo]

Santorum’s my guy. He better.

Sarah?

[RIghtwardHo]

Goodness I hope so.

These things are no longer American political conventions in any real sense. They’re now Soviet-style propaganda shows. Totally scripted down to the last word spoken.

Perfectly suited to the socialists being nominated by the two parties involved.

Paid for by your tax dollars. Even the booze.

Sanitarium has no role . Ron Paul has 12 % of all republicans. If they piss them off, romney looses. I don’t want to hear about Sanitarium. What a joke. WE need to unite to neat the devil obama from Kenya. They better get real in Tampa or we have 4 more years of communism,

You would think they would be begging her to speak about energy and drilling (or anything else for that matter) to get people excited again.

[Parley Baer]

“But Ed Rollins” “said that if he were organizing the convention, “I would not have any of the also-rans.””

I despise this man to no end. What an A-hole.

[Qbert]

"Santorum’s my guy. He better."

We really need him out there in PA, OH, MI., and other states.

He cuts right to the chase and speaks to voters in a way that Romney just can't (or won't) do.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Indeed.

ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK: "Sarah Palin is five for five in her Senate picks in this primary season. She will be a force at the Republican Convention whether she does it from the floor or from the parking lot."

With the event, Santorum is trying to bury any remaining ill-feeling from the hard-fought primary in which he was Romney’s most tenacious opponent

BS!! They were working hand-in-hand. Santorum's known as taking one for the team! HAVE RS apologize to NEWT for ALL THE LIES HE ADVERTISED about him!!

For Santorum, the dilemma is how to display loyalty to Romney while protecting his own staunchly conservative identity.

BS!! Check his record and ACTIONS - He is NO staunch conservative.

His forceful social conservatism makes him beloved among GOP grassroots supporters BS!! Grassroots are for SARAH PALIN! And he couldn't shine her shoes! or Newt's either!

Remember folks - believe nothing of what you read and half of what you see. This was put out by Santorum - he wants his halo back even though it is because of him, we have Romney.

He campaigned for Romney in '08 trying to CONVINCE conservatives that Romney was CONSERVATIVE!! and the best thing for America! And it was right after mitt the maggot lost, 'the plan' was devised for this election with his campaign buddy, the one who takes one for the team, Santorum!

They should be begging her to be there. I kind of have mixed feelings about it now. Before I would have hoped they would be begging her to go but now I feel she's too good for them.

We need somebody representing us who stays on the outside, something to hold over Romney's head (if he becomes President) the threat of being primaried by a Tea Party in 2016. For that reason alone I would not be as disappointed if they were to ignore her.

Disappointed in them, yes. But not so much in it happening. Almost predictable.

[tsowellfan]

Yup, basically Santorum was part of the Romney campaign through-out the primaries.

Most of Santorum’s money was spent against Newt. (it was probably Romney’s money in reality and whatever was left over went to Romney)

I did not send Santorum a penny. A penny to Santorum is a penny to Mittens.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I wish the self righteous snot would go away. He lost me as did Bachman with their dishonest rewriting of Newt's history as Speaker of the House. Then the little brick bragged about being part of the putsch that took him down.

At least Lindsey Lighloafers Graham has admitted it was the wrong thing to do.

[MasterGunner01]

Little Rick is currying favor from the master of the political plantation. It figures.

[Christie at the beach]

The man who was instrumental in giving us Romney.

Oh, he will get to speak. Money poured into his campaign to divide the conservative votes. Now, he wants his fame.

[SUSSA]

Check his record and ACTIONS - He is NO staunch conservative.

Spot on.

Well you certainly are a savvy voter.

Certain poster here had over the top threads for Santorum - I told them the deal - they wouldn’t listen - unteachable or deliberate! They must be in hiding now.
