"Tonight's results in New Hampshire show the race for 'conservative alternative' to Mitt Romney remains wide open. I skipped New Hampshire and aimed my campaign right at conservative South Carolina, where we've been campaigning hard and receiving an enthusiastic welcome. I believe being the only non-establishment outsider in the race, the proven fiscal and social conservative and proven job creator will win the day in South Carolina.
"South Carolina is the next stop. I have a head start here, and it's friendly territory for a Texas governor and veteran with solid outsider credentials, the nation's best record of job creation, and solid fiscal, social and Tea Party conservatism."
I’ll never forget Father Thomas J. Euteneuer, then president of Human Life International, taking Hannity to the woodshed over his support of contraception. Father Euteneuer told him he was mocking the Catholic faith and asked Hannity why he didn’t accept Catholic teachings. Hannity got hot under the collar, told the priest that he was a DEVOUT Catholic and that he didn’t know anything about him. Father Euteneuer said he did know something about him and asked him again why he didn’t accept the teachings of his Church. He then told Hannity he was a hypocrite.
Hannity then started acting exactly like a liberal and changing the subject started telling this honorable man of God he should be more concerned about “all the sex scandals” in the Church and less concerned about contraceptives. It was funny seeing Hannity lose it, I’ll never forget it. The priest called him a hypocrite. It was great. Father Euteneuer was never invited back on his show.
They understand. Or least some of them do. The ones who don't are probably unwitting victims of the principle of emotional contagion, which is originating from those who do. Some things never change.
Yes, I think Perry made it very clear that he is pro Capitalism, but he draws the like at Corporate raiders.
Just a couple years ago people here and all of the talking heads wanted the evil bankers to give back their bonuses.
I defended those bankers, But I loathe hostile take overs that loot companys
That has nothing to do with it. The candidates have roughly the same support in most states.
The problem is not 2 smaller states going first. The problem is the lack of a viable conservative candidate running.
Well, Fox is openly part of the Romney army now. I have seen Hannity display open dislike of any number of liberals, but never a conservative. Until tonight.
As of tonight, I’m done with Fox myself. I can’t stomach it any longer.
How is Perry’s getting 1% of the vote in NH “splitting the vote”?
I think I vaguely remember seeing that. Hannity is nowhere near the choirboy image he likes to put forth of himself.
Probably won't happen until after FL. Why should anyone get after SC? Altho it could happen if someone runs out of money.
-{How did we get to the point where two open primaries with a handful of delegates have decided the whole damn race!}-
It is the elite republicans way of letting you think you have some control over the destiny of our Republic. You don’t, at least not at the ballot box.
The fear is that ex-Zero voters want safe harbor. Mitt has safe harbor flashing in one million candlewatts.
Take the 10% RAT defecting, add in the 20% squishy independents, that’s where this idiot 25% Romney chunk is built.
Not from anybody who actually follows politics. That’s why we
feel so rug-swept-out-from-under-our-feet.
No, the problem with those two states is open primaries. Letting everyone vote guarantees crap results.
You take the credit. I want no part of this name attached to it!
Seriously.
It’s funny that for all the times we all agree that Iowa and New Hampshire shouldn’t choose our candidates, as soon as Iowa and NH vote, everybody here is letting the results choose our candidates, and attacking other freepers who disagree with them.
Until we get to florida, divided isn’t bad, because of proportional delegate assignments.
“South Carolina is the next stop. I have a head start here, and it’s friendly territory for a Texas governor and veteran with solid outsider credentials, the nation’s best record of job creation, and solid fiscal, social and Tea Party conservatism.”
Note to Gov Perry: the people of SC can read all about your record on the internet, too. You won’t be foolin them.
They won’t like a Gov who would intro the muslim culture curriculum into their schools. They won’t like a Gov who would override a parents’ choice to force their child to take a drug from your drug company pals.
So, if I were you, I wouldn’t set my place mat at the table, just yet. Best pray they don’t do proper research. You might catch them sleepin. Or, then again, you might not. Whatever you do, don’t let them find out. Overwhelm them with your Texas charm. You just might get a pass, after all. You never know.
Not sure what you were asking, but I don’t understand how Romney and Santorum ended up with almost all the Iowa delegates, and Ron Paul got zero. That’s not the list from election night. Iowa is proportional, although you pick delegates to the next level so you theoretically could win the straw poll but not have a person at the caucus to be a delegate. But Ron Paul specifically was working delegates.
Another site showed the following count from Iowa:
Romney, Santorum, Paul = 6; Gingrich = 4; Perry = 3;
Meanwhile, here was CNN’s delegate count:
Santorum 8; Romney, Paul 7; Gingrich, Perry 2
Shows what a joke Iowa is, you can’t even figure out what the delegate counts actually were.
