Mitt Romney’s campaign issued the following statement congratulating Rick Santorum:
“Senator Santorum is an able and worthy competitor, and I congratulate him on the campaign he ran. He has proven himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation. We both recognize that what is most important is putting the failures of the last three years behind us and setting America back on the path to prosperity.”
LOL! Oh the love that some people just failed to see.
FUMR
Bull****.
That kind of sounds like Santorum’s “Mitt Romney’s a real conservative” speech except without the endorsement.
State-controlled media is about to lynch you the way you lynched Cain and Gingrich.
They've just been holding their fire because you are a sitting duck.
Now Santorum will endorse the liberal Romney, the man who has been lying about his record for the last 6 months. The man Sanatorum said could not beat Barry Soreto because of RomneyCare being the blueprint for ObamaCare. If Santorum had gotten out 4 months ago, Newt Gingrich, A REAL CONSERVATIVE would have won the nomination. Now the liberal Willard Romney becomes the GOPs sacrificial lamb in Nov. So yes Virginia, money can buy the GOP nomination, but not the presidency. Karl Rove will find that out in November. Once again the average republican is being forced fed a liberal to against another liberal for president. I am sick and tired of it. Time for a third party. Your country is calling you Governor Palin.
I don’t care to hear a word that that hyprocritical used car salesman Etch A Sketch candidate has to say. And if I never see Karl Rove on TV ever again, it will be too soon.
I saw your disgusting ads against Rick. And against Newt.
I'M not voting for you, Romney.
I'll write in Sarah Palin.
ah,go slip in your own spittle..Rino turd! You won’t get my vote.
Congratulating Rick? Oh, the irony of it all - he destroyed every conservative candidate we had - with his huge coffer and negative ads. I have to blame the American people for lapping up the negativity like a cat does cream. I’ll probably vote for the creep, but, only as a vote against zero. I loathe him more than I do Romney.
I despise Romney. He is a lying, anti-life, anti-family , pro big government liberal. I will never support him. Ever.
Yes, congratulations, Senator.
Mission accomplished.
You blocked the true conservative in the race—you know—the one that had the vision that made the GOP take over the House in 1994 and become a player in politics again after 40 years in the wilderness. You know, the one you of which you said you were proud to have led the charge to oust him in 1999.
You did your job well, Senator. We’ll see soon which Cracker Jack prize Willard will bestow upon you for dropping out now.
BTW all—Newt is still in the race. A leader. A visonary. The only Republican who will take on Obama and beat him like a drum.
But, rather than support him, let’s all cry in our beer that it is all over.
hmmm, so is Gingrich going to suspend his campaign too?
Romney should be congratulating Ron Paul. Last man standing, scooping up votes and heading for the convention.
I will vote for the repub candidate that is running against Romney in my state’s primary.
Congratulations indeed!!
He may as well congratulate Obama on his reelection while he’s at it.
Looks like its about time to form the strategy on how to get MORE TEA Party members in the house and take back the Senate.
We should work our asses off strengthening the house and senate with CONSERVATIVES so the Executive branch has no say in individual American citizen's lives.
Might be kinda awkward considering Palin will end up supporting and campaigning for Willard. She doesn't want your vote.
FUMR!!! and FU establishment.I’m voting for the constitution party nominee or for a 3rd party candidate.
Let us know when the crack wears off. Newt was/is/will always be un/nominatable/electable.
SO FAKE all this “congratulations” sh*t, after months and months of tearing him and Gingrich down to now say nice things about Senator Santorum. I really don’t believe it, nor do I respect this!
J.S.
Guess all that negative campaigning really paid off didn’t it Mitt.
Long Live King Willard the Dull
Given their similarities on so many issues, we don’t know yet whether Mitt will be better, different or the same.[than Obama]
Personally, if Romney is the nominee, I will *again* be skipping the POTUS box and playing the down ticket.
America chose this path we’re on and now they’re gonna have to eat it.
Shut your trap.
I gave money to both Newt and Rick.
However, it appears that I will be voting for Mitt in November.
Sarah Palin WILL NEVER run around the country supporting Willard the liberal. She’ll take a low profile during the campaign. She despises the man. Willard talked about her like she was a dog in 2008. Saran Palin IS NOT A HYPOCRITE.
Go ahead and write in Sarah Palin or anyone else. A write-in won't get Obama out of the White House, all it will do is keep him in there. If that's okay with you then you may as well put an "Obama 2012" bumper sticker on your car. If your reply is "there's no difference between Obama and Romney" then stay home and we'll see how America fares with Obama's second term.
Agree
There is not enough time to launch a Tea Party candidate. I will hold my nose again and vote for MR and really hate it. But then again I would vote for a lump of dried dog crap over BHO. It is time to start laying the ground work and foundation for a legitimate alternative conservative party. I will be done with the GOP after the Nov election.
If Mitt Romney would but pick up PART of the mantle that Santorum has been forced to lay aside, it would do much to boost his own campaign, which by now has pretty much shifted to running against whatever record the Current Occupant in the White Hut has managed to compile.
Romneycare versus Obamacare has taken on a whole new dimension. One thing that Romney COULD do, that would provide a broad differentiation, is to emphasize that the Massachuetts plan was confined to only one state, and those who did not wish to participate could move to a neighboring state, or across the country, for that matter. No such option is available to the nation-wide, one-sized-fits-all, and badly misnamed “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”. That version is a revenue collection scheme, and assures nobody of either any protection from abuses within the system, nor is it affordable in terms of what the unfunded demands will make on the country as a whole in coming years.
When the “safety net” becomes a hammock for the unwilling and unambitious, then it, too, shall fail.
Taking care of one’s health never was, is not, and can never be the duty of any government, or for that matter, any third party anywhere. YOUR health, and seeking the means to maintain it, remain entirely a personal responsibility.
Bitching does not become you. Newt has been out of the race for 6 weeks. He’s been making nice to ROmney now for at least a week.
You live inside your own head, totally disconnected from reality.
Enjoy your Romney-shit-sandwich. Because you bought and paid for it.
You can’t vote for Romney, he is a pro-abort!!! You will
have cooperated with his evil.
Something could happen, we have to trust in God.
Why do you think that voting for RINOmney will get Obama out of the White House? They haven't even begun to unload on him yet.
Noe Romney will face the “huge coffer and negative ads” of Obama’s minions which includes the MSM. It ain’t gonna be pretty and we’ll likely end up with Obama and a Democrat congress. In short, the end of America. Even saying that, I doubt I’ll do anything to help Romney, even having a great deal of mental anguish about possibly voting for him. The way I feel now, voting for Romney will be a hopeless gesture.
Text from my son 45 minutes ago: "Wow what a surprise. The fix has been in for MONTHS. Romney is nothing more than a fall guy. He should change his name to Colt Seevers 'the unknown stuntman'."
Congratulations to the Whig RINO Establishment party for proving how obsolete it has become. Well Done!
All the checkered pants schmucks can go straight to hell.
Are you seriously this naive? Seriously? Palin is a major player in the Republican party. It is a PARTY with agreed upon goals - defeating Democrats chief among them. Aside from people who don't really belong in the party in the first place, such as Ron Paul (Libertarian), they are pretty much ALL going to rally around Willard. Yes, Palin WILL run around the country campaigning for Mitt. She will likely also have a choice convention spot in which she will sing his praises as well.
Wow--that's pretty delusional. Newt said last night--he's going to Tampa. He is not dropping out.
And you are really cracked if you think I had ANYTHING to do with Romney becoming the supposed nominee.
I was for Sarah, then Cain, then Newt. How does that equal Romney?
No, the only Freepers who are going to buy the Sh#t sandwich you talk about are the ones who won't right now, donate to Newt's campaign to stop Romney.
You know, like you.
So, chew well.
FUMR !!!!
I’m in KowLeeFawnEeYuh so my vote is of little consequence.
I will write in my candidate.
You pompous ass ....

I believe it was on Fox last week they were discussing whether Santorum would drop out ahead of the PA primary to protect his future viability as a presidential candidate. I hope family, not political viability, was his prime motivator here.
The latest PPP and Rasmussen polling had Romney within the margin of error in PA.
The snake hisses......
Ron Paul hasn’t had his turn on top of the polls yet, woldn’t that be something :)
Have any of you listened to Romney? None of the candidates can eloquate capitalism better than he. He’ll be fine against Obama - so long as he doesn’t listen to y’all.
Listening to all the Romney bashing here, I see the negative campaigning (both ways) has had its effect.
