Santorum should just fade away.
>> I doubt hed help much on the ticket either, except for dishing out red meat, and perhaps to help keep the religious folks engaged. >>
As one of the “religious folks” - I cannot stand Santorum as a candidate. I think though I get your point — perhaps a way to keep the single issue or social issue only folk engaged.....
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at.
You got THAT right! bttt
Once again you show your true colors.
>>> Once again you show your true colors. >>>
Oh really smart-ss? What are they? I submit you have shown your true ignorance.
Those who attack conservatives as “single-issue” or “social issue-only” are what they are. It’s obvious.
Rick Santorum lied! His campaign died!

I think being single issue or social only is to be a faux conservative. I think not knowing the times you are in belies Biblical warning. Why don’t you shut up for a second and read the some 150 thousand words I’ve written on every conceivable political, economic and social issue here:

Read that, then you’ll know my “true colors” to a point. Until then, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Desperate candidates do desperate things.
No thanks. I’ve had all of your writing I can stomach.
If you were any fuller of yourself you’d explode.
Although I used to have the utmost respect for Santorum, his performance during this presidential run has led me to lose more and more respect as time passed. And this ends it completely. This dishonesty on his part has destroyed any residual good will I had left for him.
Goodbye, Rick. I thought I knew you. I was wrong.
1. Cain
2. Bachmann
3. Gingrich
4. Santorum
5. Perry
Neither Paul nor Romney is acceptable.
You are hateful and ignorant. If you knew what my wife and I do for Christian causes on multiple continents you would be ashamed of what you have insinuated.
You and I want the same thing: the difference is, I give you credit for that while disagreeing with how to get there. You? You assume you know my agenda.
All I want from a government is the freedom to walk my Christian walk and run my business and raise my kids and spend my money the way I see fit. All too often, the “most Christian” candidate is NOT the way to get the best government result for Christians.
I can see that. You cannot. Shame on you .
Yeah, I know, I know. You’re really a big deal. Like you’ve told me ad nauseum every time I’ve ever talked with you.
I am leaning much narrower. Cain, Gingrich. Bachmann lies. Has from the second she began this run...from her family finances to the knifing of Sarah Palin with Ralph Reed, to rollins, to rhe family reunion she never attended, and then 666. Can’t trust her.
You’ve never done anything but hurl insults at me based on what you think I am. You always go personal. I simply respond. I simply point out how off base you are. I simply point out how you and reality do not intersect.
Calling conservatives “single issue” and “social issue-only” is like waving around a large red flag that says “I’m an unprincipled Republican hack.”
See ya.

I am sure you believe that, but this is where we have differing depths of analytical ability. While it is true that some “unprincipled Republican hacks” may say that, it is not true that everyone who would say that is one.
The reverse is that some who are single issue folks are economic and foreign policy illiterates or perhaps even economic liberals in some cases. But I would never say they all are.
Conservative to you means social issues period. I intellectually think that is flawed. To me it means Constitutionally limited government and pro liberty - which includes the right to life and a recognition of the religious underpinnings of our Founders.
Again, you have a very shallow way of defining everything and apparently, everybody.
The majority of my published work (and covert ghost work) is hard core anti establishment and anti elitist. Thus, the idea that I am some “Republican hack” is ridiculous on its face. To put that in evidence to simply show you are full of it is a reasonable reply on my part.
