You could easily put that information on your home page, and put a link to it here, or put it in it's own thread, and put a link the thread.

Yeah, I could, but I've been reading here long enough to know that very few would follow the link. Better to paste the entire thing into a thread where more people will actually read it. And I know they do, because many have thanked me for posting Santorum's voting record.

I'd like to think conservatives would vote with their heads, not their hearts, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I've repeatedly posted that copy of Santorum's voting record into multiple threads, precisely to give conservatives the data to make an informed choice. Now, the fact that you're complaining about it only says that you're not really interested in conservatives voting with their heads. You're angry because I'm exposing something which is discomforting to you.

I've already responded that I'm fully aware of Newt Gingrich's past transgressions against our commonly held conservative ideals, and that they irritated me just as much as they irritated any other conservative here. I've also stated that I believe the good he did while in office, far outweighs his errors and mistakes.

So, there it is. Go ahead and compile a list of Gingrich's voting record and 'spam' it to the forum if you like. I won't complain. It's what vetting these candidates is all about.

If you acknowledge what you know, you know nobody is reading your spam comment either — they ignore it just like the link, only you make it more painful for them. You aren’t offering information, you are beating them on the head with it.

Anyway, I just find it interesting that I see the same people I saw in July, still attacking good conservative candidates, only in support of different candidates than they supported. In my unaccepted opinion, if you are on your 3rd candidate, you need to stop beating other people over the head with your objections. Accept that you maybe have finally settled down, and leave well enough alone.

There’s a reason why back in July, few of the Gingrich supporters were supporting him. There’s a reason why, after Perry was destroyed, many went to the amateur neophyte Cain, who had no chance of winning anything, rather than jump to Newt Gingrich. There’s a reason Gingrich only got looked at after so many conservatives had been found wanting, or declined to run for office.

So fine, support Gingrich — but admit he’s the compromise leftover, not the principled conservative.
