Thanks Achilles2000.

Well, you prove my point. The election, as the electorate has been screaming, is hinged on jobs, the economy, the debt, etc.

Okay, then it's your opinion that Santorum never talks about jobs, the economy or the debt.  Good to know.

Yet, that is what you ignore. Instead, you focus on issues that are, while important, not on the radar of the voters at this time.

LOL, who focused on those issues?  You did.  I responded on point, but it was your point.

Santorum does actually talk about other things.  You dispute that?

Furthermore, you are so focused on these issues that you render everything else irrelevant. So you focus on the candidate who is the best on that, regardless of how bad he may be on other conservative issues.

Wrong.  Nice try though.

That monomania blinds you. You support a candidate that is great on social issues, middlin’ on defense, and poor on fiscal/small government issues.

The only person expressing monomanie, and thus requiring a response on point, is you.  You honestly can't see that?

Whereas I look at them all, with special focus on pushing small government.

You haven't even expressed that you looked at Santorum fully.

According to you he doesn't care about unemployment, doesn't care about government spending, and is only moderately concerned with our military status.

Monomania?  Look at your focus here.

And Newt is an 80% type of candidate. 80% of what I want on both social and fiscal conservatism... which means he's good in all the areas, not just one.

Newt has been making a new promise every few days.  Gotta admit, that if you're easily gullible, he's the go-to man.  I think the guy is desperate, and he's trying to tell you anything you want to hear.

I have a very high level of disbelief, because it doesn't gel with a guy who is perfectly happy to join Nancy Pelosi to drive a Leftist Globalist world view.

But your monomania on solely social issues keeps you from looking at the rest of the complete conservative package. And that's specially bad when the election climate isn't focused on those social issues.

As with Newt's promises, you only hear from Santorum what the media spoon feeds you and what you want to hear.  I don't think you have a reasoned filter engaged.

I personally think you need to be more discerning.  You're convinced Newt is the second coming, and I am not.

I would encourage you to continue to think of my posts as sarcasm and dismiss them.

I think you’ll be a lot happier that way.

Why on earth would you rather see Romney win in Michigan than Santorum win in Michigan?

Isn’t that cutting your nose off to spite your face?

“You are entitled to your opinions. 1st amendment is still alive and well.”

Yes it is. I am not the one defining what is not ‘relevant’ to the entire thread.

Like Romney will nominate a Scalia type.

Romney or Obama, same thing.

That’s why I call him Robamney.

"I do believe our culture is destroying itself, and promiscuity given cover by the availability of contraceptives is part of the problem."

I understand your point, and it is part of the problem. However, nowadays, I don't think contraceptives is what's really lowering our standards. I'm somewhat of a libertarian when it comes to that, Harvard Law "students" notwithstanding...har. I believe that our pop culture that we are bombarded with daily by the MSM, Hollywood, acadamia, and advertising to be the real culprits in lowering the bar.

Personally, I don't think we will ever get back to the moral equivalence of the Founding Fathers. You know how hard I've tried (VetsCoR), but I've given up of late. I'm awaiting 4 more years of bambi and hope he pisses Joe-six-pack and Soccor-moms off enough to open their eyes and join us in a new, hopefully peaceful, revolution. Unless that happens, our great experiment in self-determination is going to end.

On an up note. Some European countries are starting to refute their socialist political systems. Maybe, when Greece, Italy, Spain, et al learn their lesson, they can provide some insight to the average American how socialism will just not work. But then, we have some 49% of Americans who don't pay fed income taxes and want more stuff so who knows how long the above would take?

If the average Joe/Josephine doesn't wake up soon, I will be looking to move to Arizona (cutting edge 2nd and 10th amendment state), or maybe even out-country to Costa Rico and hopefully escape the failure of the western political system.

Yes, there are places that even the most powerful will not interlope...Costa Rico, Cayman Islands and others. There are many that the regional/world fights would not affect, due to elites needing safe havens for their money.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm done if bambi gets another term. I'll fight against that SOB, but I believe he will get 4 more...the gimmes want him and they grow by the day.

"My sincere congratulations on reaching the century mark...because if you are any younger than that; you are going to see it happen...I believe we are at the last step. :-( "

Sorry, I wasn't clear that it is the last step that I hope not to see. "From dependency to bondage". I believe we are at the step above..."From apathy to dependency". We are yet to be in bondage...yet.
