In 2008 when my wife, Gena, and I were on the campaign trail backing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for president, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was fighting to get former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney elected.
Just three years ago in his interview with radio host and conservative commentator Laura Ingraham, Santorum also emphatically told millions of listening Americans: “If you’re a conservative, if you’re a Republican, there is only one place to go, and that’s Mitt Romney.
Yet Santorum now admits that Romney “bragged he’s even more liberal than Ted Kennedy on social issues.”
And the question that keeps coming to my mind now is this: How can the “alternative to Romney” also be a Romney supporter? (SNIP)
However, in light of the potential global clash outside our country with regimes like Iran and Syria, and the ongoing domestic assault within our country from the Obama administration, we believe America needs the best of the best veterans of political war to lead us forward.
We truly believe Newt’s experience, leadership, knowledge, wisdom, faith and even humility to learn from his failures (personal and public) can return America to her glory days. And he is the best man on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his billion-dollar campaign machine.
(SNIP)
It’s no wonder in January that Rep. Ron Paul accused Santorum of having a “very liberal” political record.
I’m also bringing this up now because, if Santorum were to win the nomination, Obama will definitely bring this up in his campaign for the presidency.
And the question that keeps coming back to my mind about Santorum is: How can the “alternative to Romney” also be a Romney supporter?

PETA people? LOL.
Yes, I know folks who did theses on woodchucks chucking wood.
Listen, Hall Monitor, you can ping anytime you have a mind to do so.
Did you just call PERRY a doofus? Really? :)
Again, Newt is flawed. Mitt is repugnant. I will vote for flawed but I will never vote for repugnant.
In the grand scheme of things, I really don't care about Mitt's Mormonism. The problem is his liberalism and socialism.
This whole crock of "relgious bigot" crap is no different the garbage we get from the race baiting con artists who say any opposition to Obama is due to bigotry.
Of course, we all agree that anyone who plays the race card is the lowest form of bottom feeding, scum sucking vermin. Right?
I agree. Pointing out the non-Christian nature of Mormonism has nothing to do with hating Mormons, which WOULD be bigotry. It doesn’t wash.
Romney is a loathsome, abortion-loving, sodomite-pandering snake. Looking at him makes my skin crawl. I can’t vote for something like that.
“Of course, we all agree that anyone who plays the race card is the lowest form of bottom feeding, scum sucking vermin. Right?”
Yes, 99.99% of the time...every now and then it is valid.
In regards to Romney’s Mormonism....folks need to be aware of the history of Mormonism and its claims. The founder was a flim flam artist of the 19th Century. I call Joseph Smith the L. Ron Hubbard of his time. Brigham Young is no better. It is trully chocolate covered poison of a very insidious nature (most of those in it are clueless and naive). I have no problem with Mormons holding up to the Senate level. However, I don’t think a real one should ever be allowed to be POTUS. That was Joseph Smith’s ambition!
As I said, Romney is repugnant. I won't vote for repugnant.
As I said, Romney is repugnant. I won't vote for repugnant.
At the time, many of us thought Romney was more conservative than McCain, including myself.
Rick endorsed Mitt only because he thought Mitt Romney was more conservative than McCain, PLUS it was six days before Mitt dropped out of the race, which shows it wasn’t an enthusiastic endorsement.
Rick Santorum acted more enthusiastically than he actually was, because he didn’t want McCain to win, but Rick’s last-minute endorsement certainly shows he was not a huge Romney fan.
LOL!
Catherine, don’t let org bully you. Quoting or referring to relevant information in another thread, especially regarding someone’s posting history, is normally fine.
org, “Don’t be a whiner”... it’s in the rules. ;o)
LOL
Thanks for the clarification, OHelix.
I didn't say you were "wrong"... But you are wrong. Starting an argument regarding another thread is not mentioned in the posting guidelines.
Continuing an argument, however, that started on another thread is considered "poor manners" per the posting guidelines HERE.
Even though trying to bully someone into silence by threatening to call the mods on them over a bogus "rules infraction" isn't specifically banned, it doesn't really scream "I'm an intellectual giant" either.
Well said, sir. I yield to your superior wit.
Thanks for the ping. I see the distinction.
Like I said, I think it’s appropriate for a newbie like myself to keep in mind the short time I’ve been here (and my three years lurking doesn’t count). But I hope org hasn’t misinterpreted that to mean I will allow bullying. If he has, he’s mistaken.
Lady, you seem to have the shoe on the wrong foot here. You attacked two different people for post they made about another topic. Completely miss stated those posts and then you say you are getting bullied. You are funny to the extreme.
