Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney beat former Sen. Rick Santorum by a margin of just 8 votes in the Iowa GOP caucuses, the chairman of the Iowa Republican Party announced early Wednesday.

So the Two guys who beat Newt but lost (barely) to Mitt should get out of the way so that Newt can beat Mitt?
“Hello, my name is Logic and I do not believe that we have ever met.”
Like they did with Cain who also said that he’d strip out PP funding?
Not sure what to say. He’s got the vote so far.
“The far right has no chance.”
I didn’t have you pegged as a Rommney man.
On to South Carolina. Mitt will not fare so well there. And Florida?
He probably will in NH.
I think Santorum will give Romney a battle in the Northeast.
The only thing that surprises me is how close the totals were. SEVEN people, huh? I’m honestly just disgusted at this whole “primary” season, personally. I threw my hands up a few weeks back... I’m still peeking in hoping to see something I can get on board with, but I keep getting annoyed when I look and see the folks in the ring still, especially when I see the folks at the top (no offense to Santorum who is just the “latest flavor” in a VERY VERY weak field...).
LOL - No doubt, huh?
Please tell me 3 major policy differences, “bold colors not pale pastels” if you will between Mitt Romney and Barak Obama.
Things they have DONE not things they have said.
When you cannot, you will see why many of us believe that the only real difference between the men is pigment.
I hope you are right. I plead ignorance about most of the North East.
I sure hope you’re correct... The ONLY thing that could make me come around at this point is a candidate that packs a good punch (but remember to bring smelling salts for the public). It has to be devastating when he goes after these candidates, or I fear his personal baggage will weigh him down. He can’t be wishy-washy and he HAS to speak clearly - no fancy “agreements” just tell it like it is, period. He has to project himself through that smoke in the media and be non-apologetic for being angry... The PUBLIC is that angry, it’s time those representing us were. An HONEST-to-God “the buck stops here” surge/movement. Or else the slimy bastards in DC are going to get away with their scheming again (it may already be too late as it seems EVERYONE who steps forward has gotten neutralized in some way). All JMHO. I’m really pessimistic at this point in the game.
Red Hampshire has a 'gay marriage' law on the books...Santorum is NOT popular around here. I'd like to see him give Romnuts a run for his money, but I wouldn't hold my breath; especially with the open primary loading up with bored democrats...
This means that Santorum really was the better candidate, because rOmney had to spend millions upon millions of dollars to get only 8 votes more.
Oh, I see. That's called comparing and contrasting. In other words what is similar and what is different.
Now that's a little more sane than this idiotic statement:
There isn’t one drop of difference between Willard and Obama.
Horsepuckey.
| 1) Mittens was born in DETROIT MICHIGAN in 1947 to a Republican Governor and Capitalist. | The other one was born and raised somewhere else by America Hating anti-capitalist Islamist/Marxists and thinks Joe the Plumber ought to be raided like a piggy bank. |
| 2) Mittens is for keeping terrorists from the battlefield in Gitmo. | The other one pledged to shut Gitmo down, open civil courts to terrorists, and sell guns to Mexican drug cartels in order to increase gun restrictions on law abiding US citizens. |
| 3) Willard's book is title "NO APOLOGY: THE CASE FOR AMERICAN GREATNESS" where he proclaims the concept of American Exceptionalism. | The other one 'wrote' some books about how wonderful his drunken father's Marxist dreams were, how terrible, unfair and racist America's imperialism has been, married a woman who was ashamed of America all her life, abuses our allies and bows to any foreign head of state he can find. |
Even if it were all for show, and even if all their "policy positions" were identical, the difference between a president who makes speeches about American Exceptionalism vs one who praises the Occutards is night and day.
Mitt Romney called for the resignation of Eric Holder on December 3 for his participation in a campaign to undermine 2nd Amendment rights (F&F.) Obama has expressed his utmost confidence in Holder. We can go on like this, but you don't want "three positions" or "three hundred."
You want a simple barb to maintain the simpleminded juvenile construct in your head that relieves you of the necessity of making a hard decision between imperfect and worst.
Leftists are proud of you for taking a "Zero Tolerance" attitude that you've learned well from them.
The same idiocy which expels a kid from school for a keychain with a picture of a gun on it is the type of rationale that claims Hussein Obama and -any- GOP candidate is identical.
Idiotic fools.
Just who has a better voting record than Santorum?
That poll only adds up to 68%, which means 32% is still undecided.
Really, it’s still anybody’s race.
I became aware of Red Hampshire in the late 1990’s, when really rabid left wing gay baby boomers left Californicator land to go live in and fornicate Gayhampshire.
More of these wretched people went to Gayhampshire during that time period than Ashland Or, Taos NM or in Colorado’s left wing meccas.
“Red Hampshire has a ‘gay marriage’ law on the books...Santorum is NOT popular around here!”

Your post was eloquent and a joy to read unfortunately you missed the mark; “Things they have DONE not things they have said.”
IOW, Looking at both mens’ political records (not what they’ve said) name three major policy differences.
They don't DO anything but talk! That's their job.
People who think a single person is supposed to come in a "do" something to cure America are statist politburo types who believe in a centrally planned life for all Americans out of Washington.
Unlike idiot Perry's and Obama's remarks they DO NOT "create jobs."
JFK did not "go to the moon." Obama did not "kill bin laden". They made policy decisions and speeches about it.
If you want to play that game, Ronald Reagan authorized 12 million babies to be aborted during his term.
But again, you are no different than arguing with a horse. You can't comprehend anything you're hearing and you've got nothing but the same sh!t coming out day after day, and you don't think your sh!t stinks.
I’m disappointed because Santorum is not a strong fiscal conservative, which makes him an incredibly vulnerable candidate.
