Tonight after the Florida Primary results were posted, Rick Santorum spoke from Las Vegas, Nevada. He said that he was staying above the fray, above the mud-slinging between Romney and Gingrich. We all know the only reason that he has not been hit with much mud from Romney or Gingrich is that his lower position in the primaries. He boasted that he was more positive than the others. However, since Gingrich is a mortal threat to Romney, Romney started the NEGATIVE ads against Gingrich. Gingrich had to counter with negative ads toward Romney or drop out of the race. Santorum is really playing the role of a Newt spoiler. To add insult to injury, Santorum is running negative, untrue ads against Gingrich in Nevada and Colorado. Santorum has now officially exposed himself to a possible relentless negative campaign with the Gingrich team. I know that Santorum has been the darling of the media and the sentimental favorite, but now he is playing for keeps from now on. Santorum must now be exposed to the same serious ad attacks which have had serious effects on the fortunes of the other candidates.
God, is that you?
I didn’t say Gingrich is evil. Santorum doesn’t abandon the sick.
This guy is an old hand at dirty politics, and him making such a claim in patently silly.
Of course he is, this is Classic Santorum, and its why he got voted out.. he says lots of things that folks want to hear, and it changes with the audience, and rarely has little to do with reality.
This guy is not liked in PA and was sent packing by a wide margin for a reason folks, I know most of the rest of the nation likes him better than most PA folks do, but be warned, PA threw him out hard for a reason, and in spite of the talking points, it was not simply because of Spectre or it was a Democratic year.
My point here is not to condemn Santorum or his wife. People make mistakes. Hopefully they repent and grow to become better people. I think Newt has. I'm sure Rick's wife is quite a different woman now also. It's likely that both her and Newt went to the same man for forgiveness. And his name was definitely not ‘steve8714’.
Good point
