And there is more where that came from!
Catholic Spring!
Ann Coulter at CPAC 2011 - Question & Answer Session - 2/12/11
At approx. the 10:00 min mark.
NO to Romney!!!
Santorum is not my first choice (she’s not running), nor is he even my first choice among those who are running. In fact Santorum is my last choice among those still effectively in the race - ahead of Paul and Romney but neither of them are acceptable choices. However, at least Santorum is a choice, unlike Romney who will not under any circumstances get my vote. While yesterday was mostly a beauty contest, the message is that no one likes Romney. I despise the man and will not vote for him, and a significant majority of republicans and all conservatives can’t stand Romney. The GOP establishment needs to stop trying to ram Romney down our throats and start looking for a candidate who can win. Santorum is one of several who might win, and I congratulate him on a good week.
I think your “Catholic Spring” comment was spot-on.
This election was all about The Economy Stupid until Obama stepped in it with this birth control fiasco and the Ninth Circuit overrode California voters on gay marriage.
Now Social Conservatism is back front-and-center, which plays to Rick’s strengths.
Only thing that bothers me is that in such a heavily Catholic state, Rick got his head handed to him by that barely sentient Democrat lemming Bob Casey.
Santorum’s stuning Leftist beebers everywhere!
Rush is on the money here:
“The Republican Party had better understand here that the people who are not voting for Romney are not doing it because I’m telling them to, or because anybody else is telling them to. They’re doing it because they genuinely have a problem with Romney. And they’re doing it because in Santorum’s case, as I’ve been saying the past couple of weeks, if you’re looking for a conservative who is the least corrupted, who has the least number of periods of wandering off the reservation, if you’re looking for a conservative who’s never sat down with Nancy Pelosi on the couch for any reason, you get Rick Santorum. And people know this.”
Santorum is out rallying support because he's the last real conservative still standing, and he is running as a conservative. He's not cloudy about it at all. There's no doubt about what and who Santorum is. So the question isn't: Well, does he have broad appeal? The question is: "Does conservatism -- properly explained, cheerfully proclaimed have broad appeal? Can conservatism win over converts with the strength of its argument?" And there's no question that it can! It does every time it's tried.
Maybe celebrity endorsements hurt.
Shortly after Trump endorses Romney ... 3 losses.
Palin all but endorsing Gingrich ... nada
Newt Gingrich is too old and too fat to beat 0bama. I know that his white toupee and fat belly should not matter, but it does. There is no way that the Mormon bishop will beat 0bama. I really believe that Santorum is our best chance to take the White House and save this country.
.
Establishment isn’t worried - they do not play by our rules.
.
Santorum is the GOPe backup candidate. He is establishment all the way. The GOPe would be very happy with Santorum in the White House.
Finally! A front runner I can get behind since the Cain train derailed!
I wonder if the establishment will at last, long last, finally begin to realize that genuine republican voters...JUST...DON’T...WAN’T...MITT!
FU KARL ROVE!
Most catholics vote liberal.
When faced with the choice of a fake Democrat (Santorum) and a real Democrat (Casey) they picked the real one.
Well, Rush nailed it today when he talked about the tidal wave of factors in 2006:
1. Bush fatigue
2. War fatigue
3. Mark Foley
4. A RAT tidal wave of the House and Senate, running as conservatives... lying, of course. We know how that came out.
