I think it's people like you who constantly run him down who are giving Romney the nomination. Santorum was doing fine, surging in all the polls until all the Newt people, GOPe, and media pummeled him before MI.
And then there were none.
They torn him when he was down, and they torn him down with he was up....
Doing fine? Santorum has never been fully vetted like other candidates. He’s an electroal disaster if you look at his history objectively. Losing an election by 18 points as a 2-term senator would normally disqualify anybody from running again. He somehow became a frontrunner ??
Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and now this santorum nutjobs. Conservatives have nobody but themselves to blame by selecting these mad dogs.
>> until all the Newt people
Amazing “all the Santorum people” neglect to recall how they “spoiled” Newt’s lead.
Holy atomic pile, Batman!
It is pointless to try to talk sense to ‘some’ of you Saintorum worshipers... you have gone way beyond goofy.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
Using Romney backers money to finance his delusional fantasy of becoming POTUS.
A few people on a message board aren’t going to make a huge difference...if we had that much influence over the entire voting public (or even the party) 0bama wouldn’t be president now. People are simply getting to know Santorum better since he’s been in the spotlight. Personally, I find him to be rather whiny & self-centered and I’m not sure he has the backbone to stand up to 0bama. That’s my opinion after watching the debates and seeing the candidates on the stump. It’s the candidates responsibility to impress us enough to want to support them.

We didn’t have to do anything. Little Ricky just opened up his mouth and out poured the democrat ads. People are finally finding out just how shallow he is and how little he brings to the table. They are beginning to see why he lost by 20% in his last election to a man with room temp IQ.
Since Newt Gingrich is the freerepublic candidate, it isn’t really our place to not speak in behalf of him.
“I think it’s people like you who constantly run him down who are giving Romney the nomination. Santorum was doing fine, surging in all the polls until all the Newt people, GOPe, and media pummeled him before MI.
And then there were none.”
Keep in mind, Santorum was involved in the pummeling of Newt Gingrich in Florida. He had no problem launching nasty attack ads or making nasty comments, insulting Newt’s character and intelligence. Can you please tell us why it is we should mourn for Santorum when he’s been involved in the same gutter politics that Newt specifically warned the conservatives not to involve themselves in? It was Newt, Cain, and Perry who were the only ones who didn’t engage in the dirty behavior. (Mind you, attacking Romney is not attacking a conservative.) Interestingly, the former duo endorsed Newt, not Santorum.
I have no desire to just put a guy up, ignore his history and platform, and then get mad because we shook the boat “when he was doing fine.” I want a candidate that represents me. I don’t want a candidate who is going to keep the status quo or preach to me, meanwhile he accomplishes nothing.
I’m also very concerned about Russia and China and their axis of evil with Iran and other countries. I don’t think that Santorum has the imagination to even think it over. If we find ourselves in WW3, how will Santorum handle it? Bomb the Iranians, but ignore the puppetmasters in Russia? Santorum voted for START II.
