Stories like this make me think I might just pull this election out even though my poll numbers are in the toilet

The vote was too close for Santorum to cede. He should call for a recount if they allow it.

For once I agree with Reuters.

Voters with the same political views as I have see nothing to celebrate with any of the GOP candidates. If any of them manages to beat Obama this year, 2016 could be the end of the GOP, conservatives in general and the country.

Did Reuters post the photoshop photos?

Just asking.

Rick Santorum won. BIG.

Conservatives and tea party folks, finally have a candidate in this race.

Reuters? LOl. I love the MSM attempting to be so, “Helpful,” to Conservatives.

What a toilet paper news agency Reuters is.

The Tea Party won big. Santorum won Big. Nobama lost the night.

And may He lose the war as well!

Maybe so but not THIS puppy. Santorum was brought to PA by country club RINO republican Elsie Hillman. For t hat resaon alone he won't get my vote and there are mnay other reasons as well.

If he is the nominee I wish him well but it won't be with my help.

The winner of Iowa is Obama. Santorum is not a viable national candidate. Romney will be destroyed by the media... Crazy Ron Paul... Really? A facebook status I’ve seen allot lately is “when faced with a choice between Obama and Paul, 94% choose suicide.” I really did believe that Perry was the best choice, but he self destructed. Bachmann is done. I am very concerned about the future of this country.

"Mitt Romney, unable to close the deal and a Republican electorate not only uncertain, but lacking great enthusiasm."

ROFL

This steamin' pile is a has-been, and a tool.

What they are scared sh$@less of is the fact that the "Tea Party Patiots" have NOT disappeared, as they've been chortling 24/7 through their State-Run-Media, and that there is a sentiment in this country that Socialism WILL NOT WIN and CANNOT STAND.

The 2012 turnout of Conservatives needs to be over-whelming, and NOT to support Romeny-the-RINO.

My Analysis: For Awhile it looked like in the Primary I would need to hold my nose and vote for Newt. Now It looks like instead I will hold my nose and vote for Santorum (though I will have to hold it a little less tight).

But whatever happens I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MITT, not in the Primary nor the General.

Sorry GOP I am not playing that game anymore.

Maybe, if he can develop a sense of humor. Maybe an ad where the announcer introduces “here’s Rick Santorum” and they wheel out a mannequin in a stuffed shirt, or maybe a whole parade of them and Santorum shows up in the middle.

So then if Santorum is the candidate, you've decided to support Obama?

Occasionally, some puppies need to have thier noses stuck in their piddle and swatted with a newspaper.

No, I will spend my resources supporting local, state and federal candidates who I believe will work toward a conservative agenda.

No more Milquetoastm RINO's, no more telling me to be a good pubbie and vote for the the party candidate and I might get a bone tossed my way.

NO MORE!

I didn't leave the GOP, IT LEFT ME!

Let's say Santorum or Romney or any of those running now win the White House. Then we get four years of the same old GOP, RINO, Karl Rove, presidency. Sure we've slowed the slide into the cesspool of socialism but I want it stopped and reversed.

And It's my opinion that after four years of that kind of presidency the Socialists will have regrouped BIG time and will take back the Presidency AND Congress in 2016. That may very well spell the end of the conservative movement and the country.

I don’t think Obama will be in office when the election comes around.

Everything that has happened and will happen will be against Joe Biden.

If you do not support the GOP candidate you are saying,in effect, its ok with you if Obama wins again. It may well support you sense of conservative self righteousness, but it does nothing to stop the progressive train wreak.

Yet another "staunch conservative" who will help re-elect Obama. At least I won't waste another minute of my time reading posts like yours.
