Double teaming: employed more frequently near the basket than away. In US politics..it's used to keep the unwashed American hopefuls from getting the numbers to gain any momentum.

Here’s this dated literally the day after the date of what you posted. We can go through and trash our own candidates day in and day out if we want to...however, there are more constructive things to do.

Another strike against Santorum. How about some balance here - some negatives against the other candidates? Is this a one sided debate or are you going to provide some balance?

All of our current candidates have limitations. If you have to get down to who is the most Conservative - Santorum, no other choice.

If you have to go with another candidate for other reasons, you are probably not a Conservative anyway..just looking for someone better (so am I, but not going to happen this cycle).

Would it have been better if Rick endorsed McCain? The “choices” sucked big time in 2008.

Who cares. Rick hates John McLame. He made no secret of it and said that is why he wanted Milt back then. Many Conservatives backed Romney in ‘08 when it looked like McLame was going to be the nominee for the same reasons.

I don’t know. 2008 was a dark year. What were the alternatives? McCain? Huckabee?

I suggest you stop working for Mittens. It does not play well here. Post about how Mitt loves gay marriage and gays in the military. Post about how he will protect a woman’s right to murder her baby. Post about how he wants to pick our pockets for his love of mandates.

No posts against conservatives like Santorum or Newt. They fall under the protection of the 11th commandment. But go ahead and slam away at Obama and his little clone Mitt.

Many people endorsed Romney in ‘08. Rush, Mark, Sean, etc.

He was the “not McCain” at that time.

I’m surprised at you for equating the national mood in ‘08 to now.

This is nothing, but Romney is likely to use it regardless. Expect the Romney machine to mention, any moment now, Santorum’s arrangements for his kids’ charter schooling, too. Santorum’s baggage is light but it’s all in the presentation.

And he’s still does. His supporters aren’t interested in truth, that’s why they favor the liar. Once Mitt is sure Newt can’t bounce back, then comes the attacks on Rick. The plan all along with these two. The two liars doing what they do best - deceiving the voters.

Well, considering the choices available in 2008, Romney was .. **GAG**... one of the “better” ones.
