Now that Rick Santorum has won the Kansas caucus with a whopping 51% of the vote, he is very much in the running to be President of The United States. Being outspent by Romney more than ten to one, and still winning primaries and caucuses in numerous states, it is clear that Rick Santorum is far more popular with the heartland masses than the Mitt, who is attempting to buy the Presidency.
So just what is Mitt’s biggest selling point? His campaign keeps playing their ‘trump’ card mantra over and over: “Mitt Romney is the only Republican candidate who can beat Barack Obama in November.”
Where exactly do they get that? And what did they put in the Kool-aid that has been force fed to voters by the mass media? It’s got to be one of the most bizarre lies ever hatched in politics. They are totally ignoring the fact that the latest Rasmussen Poll shows Santorum AHEAD of Obama in a one to one match-up!
So instead of reporting real news like this, the major media is temporarily propping up their man Mitt, but just as soon as he clinches the GOP slugfest, the network news and newspapers will be carving him up, making a mince meat feast: Roast Romney.
Some reporters are already prepping their soon-to-be headline stories about Morons posthumously baptizing Adolf Hitler and a 9-11 terrorist hijacker! And this is just the entre. The main course includes Mitt’s ‘brutal’ Bain Capital corporate raids responsible for putting thousands of people out of jobs. Oh, and the just deserts? We shudder to think of what they might be.
In contrast, there is not much the media can do to carve up a relatively ‘boring’ squeaky clean Boy Scout like Rick.
Truth be told, the major media is afraid of a one to one match-up in November of a corrupt community organizer who may not even be a U.S. citizen vs. an all American crusader fighting Washington corruption. Bottom line: Santorum wins! But that is IF he can beat Mitt and Mitt’s fair weather media friends and the GOP ‘good ol’ boy establishment who keeps ponying up the likes of Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Cheap trick vanity pimping your blog I see..........
Good point. I posted before proofreading.
[ Delegates, to be chosen later, are unbound. ]
Not true. Delegates chosen today based on caucus vote and are BOUND.
Ah, you nailed Obama’s political ‘credentials’: deceiver, criminal, radical, no morals, no conscience, and a consumate narcissist.
In contrast Rick Santorum in comparison is a middle American Boy Scout. Hope enought of middle America shows up to vote in the remaining primaries and general election.
I realize that social conservatives want to vote for one of their own. But when it comes time for the general election presidential debates, I want Gingrich up on stage eviscerating Obama.
But Mitt?
Never!
Yes, a one percent victory is still a victory.
Thanks for the laugh.

Take a look at the following for the procedure in the Kansas Caucus....
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/KS-R#0310
It begins:
Saturday 10 March 2012: All 40 of Kansas’ delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today’s Precinct Caucuses. Caucuses begin at 10:00 AM CST. [Section II. 1.] Each voter casts 1 ballot for the candidate of his or her choice. [Section IV. 2. B.]
and ends with:
National Convention Delegates are bound unless released by the candidate. [Section VI. 1.]
If Newt had competed and won, this win would have been touted here as monumental and surgeworthy. LOL
Well, you won’t persuade the Santorum-haters here. But I think you’re right.
If Newt wants to win, then he needs to beat the other guys.
Let's see, he's pushed for a change from a Republic to a Socialist statist state, his policies have doubled the price of oil, he seems to have declared war on every religion other than Islam and he plays golf more than any prior President.
And golf is synonymous with executive experience.
“Win any way you can.”
—Leo Durocher
True. Newt could eviscerate Obama and his Socialist policies.
Laughter is merry like medicine. Any of the three (Newt, Rick, Ron) would be a great antidoct to Obama.
Don’t count out a Newt surge. Stranger things have happened.
We all know the answer to that question.
But I'm still unclear on what Santorum's "biggest selling point" is.
Educate me.
Thanks.
I’d actually be fine with Newt or Rick dropping out. I’m also fine with a brokered convention that might bring us Jim Demint or Jeb Bush.
