I have always liked Santorum and might even vote for him in our primary on March 6th
I also agree. I was listening to the radio the other day, and a caller mentioned that the problem wasn't the pols, it was the electorate. He said that you have about 35%-40% of the people who think that Socialism and big government are not only normal, but advisable. He said (and he's right) that we need a candidate and a President who can teach the public WHY capitalism and freedom are not only inextricably linked, but essential to this nation if we're to avoid a coming dark age.
Anyone opposed to Newt should remember that we're not electing a messiah, we're electing a politician. By definition, that means someone imperfect, someone with votes and stands that are, in retrospect, far less than ideal. But we need someone on our side who can not only articulate ideas in a cogent fashion, but do so aggressively and without any shame. It is time for conservatives to stop apologizing and start attacking the enemies of our Republic, to take it back because we are correct, because our ideas are time-tested and moral.
Remember also that the Perfect is the enemy of the Good. Good is better than the anti-American enemy of our Republic that currently occupies the WH, and since Perfect doesn't exist we'll end up stuck with the present occupant.
Yeah.....I gave our prom queen a “Hey baby!” stare.....it was last week.....hadn’t seen her in years.....I don’t know how you can confuse “staring” with “stalking”......stupid judge.
Ditto for McCain in '08.
In a dastardly act of evil republicanism, Eisenhower canceled the election that year and as a result, it wasn't held until 1956.
evidently you don’t understand what “the establishment” means
first of all DeMint said he’s not endorsing anyone for President and secondly he wouldn’t endorse big government, debt rising Santorum who campaigned against Pat Toomey and for Arlen Specter..
“...the conservatives represented by Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum...”
Say What? Howd he fit Newt in there? or even Perry?
this country is in deep trouble and neither Milquetoast Romney or Santorum are going to fix it.. btw I really couldn’t care less about Gingrich’s company making 200 thou a year from Fannie and Freddie.. hell they were making bigger loans than that to individual customers...friggin peanuts
January 21, 2012.
I like this so much that I'm going to...
When I saw “prom queen” in the title I thought the article was about Lindsey Graham.
No SC can NOT be trusted! Not only have the good people re-elected Graham(nesty) but also gave the world Alvin Greene...... Plus our tea party backed Gov endorsed Mittens. I pray SC makes a good decision in january....
Perhaps it's you that doesn't understand what an 'establishment repub' is.
I have been voting Republican for over 30 years and educated in college as a political science and history major... I know what the Republican establishment is and it’s a fact they aren’t backing Newt Gingrich.. Gingrich is hated by the establishment
But he's part of it and definitely part of the Washington establishment. However, it's a moot point. After last night he's done like dinner.
