As Rick Santorum counted up his victories Tuesday night, a senior adviser to Mitt Romney signaled the campaign would take a tougher approach toward his resurgent rival and portray him as a Washington insider.

Ping me to another political thread and I’ll give you one. One per thread.

But do check out the GOP rule. They are not following their own rules. Should show more than anything they’re in the tank for Romney. Address are provided to send them your two cents.

And if you haven’t already donate to FR and to Newt.
Newt’s working OH. Rick is going to MI and Mitt is heading to TX (Where Perry is setting up an ambush....Remember he endorsed Newt)

Have some HOT tea with that popcorn.

“Doesn’t Mormonism have something like “Do not bear false witness against your neighbor”? Or are they like Islam that encourages you to stick it to anyone who’s not of the elect?”

I do not know if the different regard and treatment afforded the ‘gentiles’ extends to a form of taqquiya in the public forum (as opposed to conversion pitches). I have repeatedly asked Mormons if Bishop Romney’s support for abortion in the public theater and his discouragement of it amongst his own represents that double standard. i.e. ‘Gentile’ control while the Mormon numbers grow. A kind of ‘spay your pets’ campaign. So far none have elected answer.

Anyway, I shall ping our ex-Mormon experts.

Unfortunately, Santorum is the last hope for conservatives. Newt is fading and all he can do now is split the conservative vote and give Romney the victory. If Newt had any integrity and cared about others more than himself (but that’s the issue, sin’t it?), he’d bow out now and give Santorum the total conservative vote and bury Romney.

“Is there anything this immoral cretin masquerading as a conservative is qualified for?”

Honey dipper.

Maybe fly swatter.

The Romney loving Drudge-Rhoades and GOP-e can both go to Hades.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Well the MSM including FOX and other so called Conservative journalists covered for Romney when he bombarded Newt with the negative half truth distorted ads and criticized Newt as WHINING when he complained .

Let us see how they react when Santorum gets the same treatment.

Santorum doesn’t have the $$$ to fight back so what is he going to do WHINE like Newt or use what $$ he does have to go after Newt some more

The elitist castrati aka Romulans at Drudge, the RNC, Fox News and National Review are probably all on suicide watch after last night.

Santorum better be prepared for the barrage BS that is about to hit him.

“Mitt Romney signaled the campaign would take a tougher approach toward his resurgent rival and portray him as a Washington insider.”

So he will have Ann Coulter start talking about Santorum?

Cain slimed.
Perry slimed.
Gingrich slimed.
Santorum? You’re next.

The only one with immunity appears to be Paul.

Romney/Paul 2012?

Who? Me or the establishment Drudge-Rhoades and the GOP-e?

Bishop Willard Romney and his hissing cockroaches.

Again, when you can't stand on your merits you must destroy by dirt. How Willard wins the nomination baffles this individual.

Romney: “The reason I called you all here to this press conference is to tell you that Rick Santorum was voted out of office in disgrace! I bet you didn’t know that!”

Excellent points. I like Newt, warts and all, but will happily support and vote for Santorum. I will never, ever, ever, vote for Romney. If Mitt wins i am staying home since I just got redistricted from a conservative R to a RINO district. I draw my line here. If Santorum is the nominee, I will vote straight ticket R.
