“It may be your child like innocence or that you are sitting in Newts campaign headquarters and are one of the many election time sign ons that has one mission, BUT there is no way half of Newts ideas are going to pass congress. Look around at who is in there. Santorums support for the Ryan plan is even a long shot at passing. Newt can make all sorts of promises like ending 40% of Obama policies the first day but it isn’t possible. The President cannot unilaterally just wave a magic wand and it happens. Congress must be involved and they are going to be maxed out getting rid of Obamacare and setting our finances in order. A flat tax is a great idea, but there is no support in congress for it. I will support the guy with a realistic vision that a guy selling me stuff that can’t happen.
BTW, how did hide the salami go?”
LOL, great argument. So now I know how to beat you down whenever I feel like it. So your argument is basically “it can’t get passed” when faced with the cold hard reality that Saint Rick’s platform is lackluster compared to his “true conservative” rhetoric.
Just so you know, the whole point of elections is to (fasten your seat belts! This might be a novel idea for you!) ELECT PEOPLE. And, you know, there’s something else that you might not be aware of... in politics we... it’s... well... how can I say this?... it’s about running a campaign, running on issues, debating, fighting, gathering support, and making changes.
The whole “we can’t do this, so let’s not bother to try” thing died when Obama came into office. We are dealing with an openly socialist and vulnerable Democratic President. If there ever was a time to capitalize on his weakness to move for some big changes, it’s now or it’s never.
This nomination process has taken our eyes off the ball. But once you and your kind have been subjugated and sent to the back of the bus, we’ll have a united force to refocus on Barack Obama and the progressive machine in this country. It doesn’t end with Newt, or ANYONE, coming into office. It only just begins. I support Newt because he is campaign minded. He has experience in crafting messages, running campaigns and getting people into power. That’s really what I want the most. I want a focused conservative movement utterly dedicated to gaining majorities in congress. Part of this fight is going to involve pushing for novel ideas, such as Fair taxes, Flat taxes, privatization, whatever. We don’t just go back to sleep and stop campaigning. We keep on going and we stay passionate and alive. Big ideas, even if we don’t accomplish them right away, can keep our movement and our momentum going strong.
Santorum distorted Cain’s 999 and voted against the Flat tax. His platform does not suggest that he has any sweeping vision for the country, unless waging a war against Pornography is a major issue Americans are concerned with. I’m sure with your child-like thought processes, you think that is something everyone will jump on board for. For some reason I don’t have “faith” that that is what’s keeping Americans up at night. I also do not like how he has made the campaign too much about himself, instead of making it about major issues we need fixed. His attacks on the other candidates (except Romney) have also been damaging to the potential future careers of people who can still be useful to us. It all strikes me as just stuff from a professional politician interested in getting elected for his own sake, but not for the sake of the country. It can’t end after just repealing Obummercare and raising the retirement age or whatever. I want a Campaigner in Chief, not just a Commander in Chief. Going for Santorum is like going back to sleep from step one.
It would be a national tragedy if that were to occur. Anyway, isn’t it getting late? I thought Mr and Mrs. Santorum would have told you to go to bed already. Or is there no set bed time for the Santorum kids on the campaign bus? And I hope you haven’t figured out how to unlock the parental controls on that computer!
Your the guy who said he was a college student. I on the other hand have a family, a business, houses, cars, toys and a life. It upsets you that I don't bother giving you detailed facts and figures. I do that for two reasons. A) I don't like you. B) Generally long screeds are not read here and they are defiantly not worth the time with people who are set against changing their mind and are just here for the fight.
