Maybe not enough time, but more than enough Obama has.

I forgave Santorum for Arlen, and researched his current platform. Hell, I once FReeped Santorum on E. 42nd St.

Once Michele Bachmann dropped out, I started listening to what he was saying, and everything clicked in my mind. I saw that he’s the superior candidate because he’s running on conservative PRINCIPLES.

What you say is generally true, but in Newt's case, I look at that less. It's said that he's gotten his life together spiritually, and as a result, he has joined the Catholic Church. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in this regard.

What makes me very concerned are his comments about the beginning of life being at the “successful implantation” in the womb, and also his pathway to citizenship.

He's certainly better than Mitt, but not as conservative as Santorum. IMO, our success resides in the moral change of our country, and we must go all out with a candidate who is campaigning on this message. That man is Santorum.

If we get this wrong, the bill for the sin of abortion will come due. How can people expect to be blessed indefinitely with a good economy and freedom, as babies are being sucked out of their mothers’ wombs? The underlying orientation of such voters is “if we figure this out just right, we can escape the trajectory towards socialism without God's help,” whether they're aware of it or not. Well, “good luck” with that.

I like Rick...a lot and he may have a big future....were he where Newt is as Mitt’s biggest threat I would support him

But I support Newt in this cycle for many reasons others have enumerated enough.

Their conservative bonafides are a toss up with Newt having a slight edge ACU wise

I do hope Rick is not hanging on to help Mitt win so Mitt will take him as VP hoping he will carry PA for him’

that will ensure Mitt gets the nomination

take Perry and Rick out and Mitt takes it even with Dummy also in the race

this is where we are at...if Perry and Santorum really want to stop a RINO then retire from the field

I think South Carolina will determine a lot on where the race will go from there for many candidates.

if Mitt eeks out 3-4 points against Newt/Rick/RickP

in that order

he will likely roll into Florida after winner take all SC

and that will be it...

it sucks

any of the 3 sorta conservatives...are running against Mitt, Paul, and each other

exactly like the GOP establishment, Romney News Channel, 95% of talk radio except Mark Levin, NRO, WSJ, all beltway GOP want it

only folks so far to really go to bat against Romney are Levin, Todd Palin..bless his heart..Sarah...very tepidly and Sheldon Adelson’s cash without which we would already be dead meat

and Free Republic...JR saw early on as did I (hat tip to each other) that after Sarah flared off, Michelle tripped up, Perry stumbled, Cain imploded

that here we were...and that Newt can fight and will fight like hell..flawed or not and that he is passably socially conservative as we can get

and JR gets big attaboys from me for that...I am very proud the forum took that tack...it may fail...but it was the right course

but make no mistake...I think I can say with authority we do like Santorum too but we have got to fish now...we cut bait much longer and it's over

I disagree with that somewhat. These primaries are loaded heavily on the back end with lots of electoral votes. I cannot predict what will happen anymore than anyone else. But Florida is a closed primary - the first.

I think that is much more a determiner than anything else. The top three should head into Florida, battle it out, and the one on bottom should consider thinking about their future. After Flordia, the electoral count will tell the tale.

As always, you say it like it is and I could not agree with you more.

I remain hopeful and prayerful that Newt might still pull this off. But for me, if at some point if Newt steps out of this race, I am done.

We almost got Harriet Miers on the SCOTUS though.

I don't like Santorum because I think he is a big spender and not a fiscal conservative.

And I love your name! LOL!

Thanks for the compliment. :-D

I've watched so many videos in which Santorum has explained his economic plans that I've seen how he actually is a fiscal conservative. Santorum’s message best comes forth unfiltered. I had lots of questions, and had to do my research. His ideas are interesting and worth delving into.

There's good reason why Mark Levin would vote for him.
