The point is an old dog can’t learn new tricks.
He is who he is.
He always will take the bait from the media (eg the JFk question) and then put his foot in his mouth.
The media knows it and they will keep on doing it to Rick.
Perhaps a sign of things to come:
PPP tweet:
“Romney with a small lead on first night of our Washington poll. Represents big change from 2 weeks ago, reflecting national shift.”
Washington votes in a caucus setting this Saturday, March 3.
When a dam springs a leak, all hell can break loose. That is what I am predicting in regards to Santorum’s leads in Ohio, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
Unfortunately it will be Mitt Romney who benefits more from this development rather than Newt Gingrich.
The Left has a playbook that Santorum should know very well. He should have a playbook of his own to use when he gets attacked.
I heard Rick talk about the contraception issue when he visited our town. He made no bones about the fact that it was not about contraception. It was about the Democrats imposing their will on our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. Rick should have stayed on that message loud and clear. Instead, he got into trouble when he tried to defend the Catholic Church’s reason for its stand on contraception. That is a debate that Rick did not have the resources to succeed with. The last debate would have been an opportunity to carry his case. However, the moderators purposely kept that topic off the conversation. That is because they wanted to dismantle his case when Rick had no ability to defend himself.
Rick should have let the Catholic Church defend itself. The Church has the ability to defend itself from the pulpit which is an asset that Rick could never have. It is an asset that the Left will never have either. Because of that, the pulpit of the Churches is something the Left wants to destroy (the Left will try to use the gay marriage issue to destroy the Christian church). And if those who have the promise of opposing the Left’s intentions let themselves be defeated with stupid mistakes, our freedoms are at stake.
