Stick a Fork in Santorum... He's Done

I think the fog of the campaign war is getting to Santorum because he said last Thursday in San Antone that there is “little difference” between Romney and Obama, and we might as well stick with Barack. “Little” my skinny white backside! Dial down, Richard. I think Santorum should have stayed down in Puerto Rico for an extra couple days of R&R to gain his composure because the disparity betwixt Mitt & B. Hussein is humongous.

Now, for the record I’m not a Romney cheerleader; I voted for Newt in the Florida primary, hoping against hope that maybe, just maybe, we’d get to see Gingrich dust Obama in the presidential debates. But alas, that ain’t going to happen.

That said, if Rick were to get the nod (which he probably won’t), I would vote for him versus BHO any ol’ day. For that matter, if my uncle Slappy Giles, who sells moon crickets and Chattahoochee jig worms down by Harper’s Swamp, were the GOP’s pick, I’d vote for that toothless, brainless bastard because I know he at least digs America and that for which she stands. Obama? Let’s just say I’m getting a different read.

Now, before the Santorumites queue up to send me their hate mail, do you really, really think there’s very little difference between Romney and Obama?

Look, I get it. BHO will bash Mitt for his Romneycare hypocrisy. And I know Mitt, heretofore, changed his political mind every two years. And like the Visa Card, historically he has been everywhere you want him to be. But to say that he’s the same as Obama is like saying getting kicked in the nuts by a two-year-old is the same as getting kicked in the nuts by Chuck Norris. Yes, our boys might get pummeled, but there is a huge difference in the extent and depth of pain and damage delivered by a Chuck versus a child, capice?

For instance, do you guys who buy this “little difference” nonsense think that Romney will bypass Congress and give Egypt’s bat crap crazy America/Israel-hating Muslim Brotherhood $1.5 billion for their demented military? I don’t.

Also, I don’t think Mitt is going to get endorsements from Hamas, various and ubiquitous communist parties at home and abroad, nor from Hollywood and their America-loathing lovelies. Nor do I believe Romney would run up our debt and destabilize our economy like BHO has purposely done.

Here’s the difference, at least to me, between Mitt and Barack: Obama is a disaster with the caps lock ON. Romney, I believe—and so did Santorum in 2008—will be a true relief from the socialism BHO’s been trying to saddle us with these last three debt-addled years. However, if it turns out that Mitt, too, should suck, I will dare to predict that what he’ll do in the White House will suck less than the subterranean suckiness that we are dealing with now. What do you think, Dinky?

In summation, I’m in agreement with the late Andrew Breitbart, who told me last February at CPAC at the hotel bar that he is for “anybody but Obama!”

[Lucas McCain]

Not quite the worst. Wittle Wicky Santorum would be worse.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Obama has Obamacare.
Romney has Romneycare.

same thing!

Obama has spoken for abortion.
Romney has spoken for abortion.

same thing!

gay marriage, gays in the military, taxes, etc.

When people vote, they will consider these and say they are the same, why change. And they will surely vote for Obama.

A vote for Romney is a vote to retain Obama.

Maybe those people remember Newt flaunting the fact that he was the southern strategy bigwig for Rockefeller.

No wonder they don’t trust him.

Well, and there is his big support for Cap & Trade.

Of course now that he had his GW supporting book shuffled until after the election. Then he won’t care if it comes out, well, even though he killed the chapter that the lib wrote for is book, which may appear again after he figures out he lost.

There is the real Newt. The only guy that figures folks will buy whatever he says at the moment, which is subject to change, well, if he feels like it.

[death2tyrants]

I’ll tell you what, create a vanity post comparing FR to unions and gloat about Newt being behind in the polls. See how well that goes.

[bigships]

I absolutely agree with Breitbart - ABO. Having said that, I believe Romney is the best candidate to defeat Obama. We need the support of Dems that no longer can support him and all those Ind.

BTW - I’m from MA and Romney is no socialist.

Romney is the latest version of what is shaping up to be a another chapter in the Republican history in the book of losers. Dole, McCain and now Romney. None of them had a chance with the exception of McCain who went off the reservation to pick Palin as VP.

Actually you're leaving out the Bushes - if you put it into context, for nearly 24 years, since 1988, we've had Republican nominees who are the nominees because it was "their turn" or they had the most money (George W. had both, but jumped ahead of McCain in 2000) and all of them proved themselves to be big government-loving RINOs, and the ones that actually got in the White House ended up turning the keys over to Clinton and Obama.

Romney would continue that tradition if he gets the nomination, and run it up to 28 years, and therefore Santorum is correct in certain aspects of what he's said.

It's actually shocking you when you stop and look at the last 24 years of Republican nominees and what they've managed to do - either increasing the size, power, and expense of the federal government if they actually win, or losing to scumbag Demcorats.

No, I’ll tell YOU what... wait, what are we talking about again, I thought we were done here... movin’ on... by, by..

[Cronos]

I like Santorum, I like Newt. Romney is Obama-lite. he’s not different enough to make any difference to the nation
