I hope he knocks Robomney right out of the saddle.
Oh dear
Rick is in the hair..
Rick Santorum is not Mitt Romney and that’s good enough for me.
(this also works for Gingrich, but whoever’s beating Romney currently is getting my vote in OH)
The more I read comments about Santorum by Newt supporters (and I am one), the more I feel called upon to defend him against some of the ridiculous charges.
He is a conservative. The occasional vote we didn’t like during two senate terms does not change that.
He did not use his sick little child as a campaign prop. That is nonsense and sick in itself.
He doesn’t knock your socks off but if he gets the nomination, I will support him happily.
This is another wake-up call for conservatives and Free Republic.
Neither of our 2 remaining conservatives in this race are perfect, but they are clearly the conservatives. Santorum had an 80% ACU rating and Gingrich an 88%. I attribute that difference to Santorum being from liberal Pennsylvania and Gingrich being from very conservative Georgia. That Santorum was able to maintain that high a conservative voting record while in a liberal state and win 4 terms says that he is not a pretend conservative.
We must view EVERY attack on Santorum or Gingrich as an attack from Romney. We are past the point where we can give the benefit of the doubt to those in the media who want to raise fine points of conservative purity.
I am totally, completely 1000% convinced that that is a paid for attack originating from Romney.
His attack ads listing Santorum as a big spender, a voter for debt extension, etc. are ridiculously transparent. That big spender raised government grabs of money in his state without even thinking. He accepted all the Federal money he could get.
We also know that those omnibus spending bills in Congress are DESIGNED by the opposition to force legislators who want, for example, money for the troops, to vote for something they don't like.
There still isn't a line-item veto, and the senate was controlled mostly by the democrats.
So, are we going to support those trying to knock off our remaining candidates, or are we going to recognize it?
Santorum has become the ‘not’ candidate.
He is not Mitt ‘I have been on every side of every issue’ Romney.
He is not Newt ‘I have a trainload of baggage’ Gingrich.
He is not Ron ‘I would isolate the USA from the rest of the world’ Paul.
Right now, that puts Santorum in a good position. It will be interesting to see, in the coming week, how he holds up to the attack ads. He is challenging Romney in Michigan and Gingrich in Georgia, their ‘home turfs’.
Gingrich may have become over confident a few weeks ago when he announced that he would be the nominee. Of course, Santorum, or any of the candidates, could still have a ‘macaca’ moment, a Deaniac scream, a Muskie tear-fest, and sink to the bottom.
Isn’t it time for Willard to drop out for the good of the GOP?
Gingrich took the bait.
[ The next primary competitions are slated for Feb. 28 in Arizona and Michigan. If Romney wins both states, the race will probably be over ]
Hardly. How many times have the GGP-e said that this primary season?
Wow, I got banned from FR for questioning a NEWTUS MAGNIFICUS post in favor Rick.
The overlords here are slipping or something.
They accused me of being a dhimmikrat troll.
Yet you have posted in favor of my guy.
The overlords must be on the Media Matters stipend
Santorum should just run 5 second ads after each Romney attack ad with My Cousin Vinny saying “Everything that guy just said is bull$#!+”
Newt, however, is the man for America. Slick rick can't hold a candle to Newt's accomplishments and knowledge of how to get things done. Newt is the visionary and has already proven himself.
Santorum has the Obamatrons wetting themselves....

They were counting on Romney being the nominee so they could suppress GOP turnout and hand the election to O-Jackass who gives us 4 more years of destruction and slavery.
FOX is amping up the drumbeat against Santorum...not surprised
