There are three conservatives in this race, Cain, Bachmann and Santorum, pick one and screw the media and the polls and hanity and his best friend rove.

[org.whodat]

In all prior comments rush said you had three conservatives in the race, and as I said above, pick one, or you will wind up with mitt.

[Apercu]

Four more years of Barry will destroy the US as we know it.
Staying home or voting 3rd party because you would rather perish in a Pyrrhic victory than vote for an imperfect candidate (as they all are imperfect but better choices than the Dog Ate My Homework Emperor with No Clothes).AnyoneButObama.

[Finny]

Just me me a candidate who is prolife and does not support individual mandates, global warming crap, gay rights, or is weak on immigration and who does not like bailouts. I won’t care if they are otherwise perfect. Nobody is asking for “perfection”, but some issues are deal breakers.

Thank you for saying it so well. Amen.

[GeronL]

Your welcome.

The best we have is right before our eyes — Rick Santorum.

[Theodore R.]

Please pick Santorum.

[Theodore R.]

Avoid McPain with Santorum.

Because in the absence of Constitutional Government....the Republican or Democrat designee to the office doesn’t really matter?

[Theodore R.]

The best we have is Santorum. Why are so many too blind to see?

Don't think Rush or anyone 'here at least'; said 'basic Conservative principles are extreme. And looking for 'perfect candidate' appears only a straw man to those who are otherwise; doing just that.

Is Rush extreme? Would anyone here, deny the positive and the 'good' of Rush's being on air and sharing his ideals of Conservatism and for so many years? Does anyone here, now think he is now; not worth the air waves he speaks from; because he departs at 'some point' with viewers who do not like just 'one' of his choices; one of his ideas? It is not a straw man issue. It may be closer to 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater' however; whereby, we end up with 'no baby'. And for some here; that seems okay - unfortunately.

No agrees l00% with what ANY candidate says; and arguing that because a candidate does not agree with one; l00% - while discounting all the positives that otherwise would not come into play; should Obama remain - is just self-defeating; IMHO.

Of course, no one is 100% perfect . . .but some candidates clearly have a more perfect vision for America; than do others. Or at least, a greater skill set in acheiving the highest goals they set forth.

In which case; we should at least, want the best available.

[Theodore R.]

Santorum’s the One even if PA disagrees.

[Theodore R.]

Rush should talk up Santorum to see if he can move any of our intransigents.

[Theodore R.]

Mitt Gingrich, No! Rick Perry, No!

Rick Santorum, Yes!

[Theodore R.]

Have you considered Santorum? Though he was tricked by GWB and Specter in 2004, I don’t think he would fall for such a stunt again. He has learned his lesson. He is the best we now have.

[GeronL]

I’d consider him if he is the next to surge!

[cricket]

Why are so many too blind to see?

No question; he holds to Conservative principles. No question, either; and unfortunately for Rick; is that he looks like he just graduated from college; and I think; he is not taken as seriously as are others. There is something to at least, 'looking the part' and Rick is not even close; IMHO.

And of course, he is not getting nod on insid' because he is probably viewed at 'too Conservative' and so, while popular/likeable. . .he is still considered; not electable.

The others aren’t perfect, but Romney is a socialist. NEVER ROMNEY!
