Just go away, Drippy Rick. He was a spoiler last time and he’s obviously trying to do it again.

And I’m calling bullsh*t
To: Resolute Conservative
I like and admire Rick Santorum. He is a passionate intellectual for conservatism, and I wish I could put him in the WH yesterday. That said, I still believe that Ted Cruz is the best choice.

What world are some of these Republican candidates living in? The people of this country are NOT going to vote for Santorum. He, like most of the Repub candidates, are running so they can get donations from people and then keep it, making them much richer.

‘He is a passionate intellectual for conservatism”
No intellectual conservative would describe the ladder of success as something that reaches down to people. That’s the polar opposite of individual achievement and smacks of “you didn’t build that.” No thanks.

With me when I hear a candidate say :”I'm this, or I'm that” it is a total turn off....remember we heard that with bambaboy and look where we are now....how did that work out????
I will not vote for Rick, not because I don't like him, but he isn't the person we need....
AND I will NOT vote for a woman at this time, we need a man with a spine and says what means and shows it to handle the mess of this Muslim brotherhood and the mess in Israel...and I don't see a woman that has what it takes right now...

Rick Santorum:
1) I’m no different than any establishment Republican.
2) I’m not all that trustworthy. I did support Arlen Specter.
3) I’m unelectable.
That’s three strikes and your out Rick!

I think you are being unfair. Isn’t it possible to use imagery wherein one can deign to CLIMB that ladder rather than having crumbs thrown down to him? Bob
