Your responses are typical for those who react emotionally to direct argument.
You attack the person rather than the subject at hand.
You believe that by impugning the motive of your adversary that you have won.
We'll see how that works out for you.
You claim to be a long-time upstanding member of this forum. Surely then you realize that your name-calling is forbidden.
Gov.Sarah Palin put Republicans in prison for corruption. That’s a good place to start comparing.
Rick Santorum entered Congress as a middle class lawyer and left a millionaire. He sold himself as a political whore, exchanging legislation favorable to private enterprise for money.
The U.S. is SIXTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. It is politicians like Santorum that have put us in this position. And when asked about the earmarks and pork, he was quoted as being in favor of them.
It’s real pathetic when the libtards can see what some conservatives can’t!! Will they ever wake up?!
Only Newt and Sarah have been vetted. That should wake some up but it hasn’t. Three years of obama has not made them wiser. Amazing.
Fine by me. I probably won’t be able to vote for Santorum by the time the primary gets to where I live.
Sarah Palin is not running for President.
In my previous comment I observed that you seemed to prefer Santorum to Romney and Obama.
It was to this comment that you objected.
I know that I'm not the only person on this forum who isn't an idiot but on some threads it sure feels like it.
I recall the 2008 election just fine, thanks.
Sarah entered the process late in the game and did only so-so as a candidate.
(McCain was way worse but that doesn’t matter now.)
Since 2008 Sarah has given a few speeches, made some facebook posts, had her tv show, and done a few mostly friendly interviews. She has not debated the others, run a campaign, appeared as a candidate all over the place, faced hostile interviewers, etc., etc.
She is not nearly as vetted as Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich. They are the ones who have been in the arena, not Sarah.
Santorum will beat Obama.
In this particular situation, with this particular queen, I think the term "cockblocking" would be more appropriate.
The theory behind it was that Zero would be forced to spend money in the primary that he would have preferred to save for bashing McLame in the general. What we did not know at the time was that the O campaign was laundering money from Mexican drug cartels and other foreign locations through the state of California and therefore had unlimited resources.
You asked, I gave it to you. You don’t like it, too bad.
The Democrats had the goods on Santorum back in 2005-2006. All they have to do is dust it off, and publicize how corrupt this guy really is.
You have been warned so don’t be surprised when it happens.
This strategy sounds incredibly short-sighted.
“This situation does make me even more in favor of party registration and closed primaries. The Virginia General Assembly killed the bill to do just that. Idiots.”
Huh? Why should the taxpayers subsidize what is an internal party function in the first place? If the VA GOP doesn’t like open primaries, it is more than welcome to select it’s candidates at a convention or caucus that the taxpayers won’t have to pay to conduct.
“Democrats dont remember history.”
Why bother remembering history when you can rewrite it to suit political agendas ?
They killed it because of the ‘expense’ of printing new voter registration cards. Of course, new cards have to go out because of redistricting anyway.
Given that Santorum now has wide leads in the polls among Republican voters, this ‘operation’ is really just redundancy.
That threat would be a gift over Romney.
So wait, Democrats are going to stop crossing over and registering to vote in the GOP primaries for Romney or Paul and now vote for Santorum?
