Kos said it was coming and now here it is. Chaos.

Michigan Democratic strategist Joe DiSano has taken it upon himself to become a leading mischief maker.

DiSano says he targeted nearly 50,000 Democratic voters in Michigan through email and a robo call to their homes, asking them to go to the polls Tuesday to vote for Rick Santorum in attempt to hurt Romney.

I hope their “Operation: Chaos” works as well as Rush’s did.

Wasn’t this Rush’s idea to offset Willard’s Michigan early voting from the nursing homes strategy?

Go Rick!

“Hogan Gidley confirmed to TPM that the camp was indeed footing the bill. “If we can get the Reagan Democrats in the primary, we can get them in the general.””

It’s crazy enough to work.

First priority is to defeat Romney. We’ll take the help wherever it comes from.

Pure, unadulterated, grain fed and grass digested bovine excrement!

Mitt is the Dem dream opponent unless your brain is still a stem cell.

Rick is the Lefts’ nightmare and dats a fact!

To be honest, I know nothing about Santorum.
My neighbor, however, is from PA, and thinks that he is GREAT,
and would like to see him win.

Time to read up and educate yourself about his fiscal and economic plans for the country. Start here:

Then why do they want to help him win in Michigan? ( the above news seems like they prefer to run against him over Romney)

DiSano's out in Macomb County. He's a union guy.

They absolutely despise Romney because he's "the 1%." They also want to embarrass state party and Snyder which is in the tank for Mitt.

Nothing—it's just sour grapes so-called “conservatives” around here who fear and loathe Santorum so much they would rather Mitt lose to Obama than Obama lose to Rick.

Have you noticed where those attacks on Rick Santorum are coming from ? ... Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, the Liberals, MSM ?
I guess they will tell you all of that about Rick not being a fiscal conservtive, but, would want you, the voter to totally look the other way, to ignore their own record.
Don't listen to what the MSM says, don't listen to what Mitt Romney says ( as if ? he is the one to trust his words ? )... check it out yourself, so some research.
How come ? on the average, while his time in Congress that Rick Santorum's record comes out even better than Ron Paul's and Newt Gingrich's record according to National Tax Payer's Union, the independent watchdog for us tax payers who keep a watch on those who are in Congress spending habits while in Congress.
Rick Santorum's Average... yes, his total average comes out even better than Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich's.... but, yet ? they would have you believe that Rick Santorum is the worst of the whole bunch.

A Romney defeat is a good thing, but...

I still have a sneaking suspicion that if Santorum wins a squeaker with the votes of Newt supporters and meddling Democrats, it won’t stop him from proclaiming far and wide that he’s won a mandate of epic proportions and he’s got the BIG MO for Super Tuesday.

That's what the Newt supporters hope... but yet ? how can they say that now when their guy Newt and them are helping out Mitt Romney.... go figure ?

You want to totally turn off the Republican Base ? nominate Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee.. you see ? the Newt supporters rhetoric is, well, empty...

Yeah, their propaganda is " Nominate Rick and we will lose in a landslide this November " .

But ? they still can't face facts... you know ? stubborn facts.

As in ?

If Romney get's the GOP prize ? we will surely lose this November.
Then again ?

Perhaps ?
That is what Newt and his supporters plan is after all, for us to lose in November.. with either Romney or Newt....

The Dems see in Rick Santorum the next Christine O’Donnell and Sharon Angle...a candidate who engages in extreme religious rhetoric and a propensity to make a lot of alienating statements like that JFK’s speech makes him “throw up.” Newt is the only candidate they fear and who they have failed to form any kind of cohesive message against.

The thing is ?

The proof is already in the pudding, they are already helping Mitt Romney with a win in many ways.

For months, and months, their cries where " ANYONE BUT ROMNEY !! we will rally around anyone but Romney " ... but ?

Now ?

When the true test comes where the rubber meets the road ?

THEY CHICKEN OUT !

Yes, and now Adelson is working behind the scenes to help Romney with his money AND ADMITTED IT ! yeah, the Newt supporters deny deny deny deny.

Now they do a 180 and will help Romney in Michigan tomorrow, and Newt was making a speech in Tennessee today attacking Rick Santorum, and you don't think this was all planned and coordinated ?

IF! , GOD FORBID IT ! that Mitt Romney wins in Michigan tomorrow, then ?
There will be no one to blame but Newt Gingrich and the Newt Gingrich supporters.

" it won’t stop him from proclaiming far and wide that he’s won a mandate of epic proportions and he’s got the BIG MO for Super "

So you let the cat out of the bag... there in is the REAL TRUTH in why the Newt supporters won't help Rick in Michigan.

Hypocrites !!

That's the very same thing that the Newt supporter had hoped for before SC and Florida in trying to trick the Rick Santorum supporters to vote for Newt in SC and Florida.

After all ? according to the Newt supporters and since Rick ( according to their own words and rhetoric ) didn't have a chance in the South.

That Rick, inspite of him winning in Iowa was still a lossssser and we need to rally around Newt since he was the one who would go on and take it all.,,, yeah, Newt !!

But ? the thing is ?

It didn't turn out that way, didn't it ?

The thing is Newt supporters ?

GOD CAUGHT YOU IN YOUR OWN SCAM AND TRICKS !!!

AND TURNED IT AROUND ON YOU !

And is giving you your just deserts for tricking the Rick Santorum supporters...



ACTS 5:39 !!!

Can't oppose something that God is doing...

Looks like God took your plan of trying to scam and trick the Santorum supporters and voters before SC and Florida and turned it around against you Newt supporters.

ACTS 5:39 !

I like Santorum. But Newt is quite capable of going mono to mono with Santorum. However, Romney needs to be taken out, first and foremost.

Libs have had strategies to vote for Ron, Mitt or Rick at different times. The only one they have never once considered voting for is Newt. And that is because from the top of their party down to its grass roots, they know from both his history of national electoral success and his deftness at communicating a positive message to the American public, that Newt is the next Reagan and would defeat Obama in a landslide. Newt is the candidate they fear the most. They set out to destroy his presidential aspirations with false ethics charges in the ‘90s and today they continue the same strategy of attacking him in every way possible. There is no way leftists can retain control over the government and over our lives if Newt is the nominee.

Santorum will lead the GOP to a landslide defeat.

Maybe in your state of California, which is not in play anyway.

Here in the rust belt area, he appeals to a lot of folks who would never vote for a Romney:PA, OH, MI, IN, WI

Using the electoral map as a guide, Santorum is the best chance for a Republican landslide.
