Guys, there’s something that bothers me about our cause. It’s that we continually treat our candidates as if they were adversaries.
Obama could take a dump on a church podium and his faithful would back his play, explaining it was an act of respect.
Our guy actually tells the truth, and Conservatives do their best rendition of what cockroaches do when the lights go on.
If the guy is doing something wrong, then by all means address it for being wrong. Quit lining up to damn him for taking a chance that will cost him the election, for doing nothing more or less than telling the truth.
VanDeKoik, I do agree that backing down is a bad idea. I would advise folks to fire off emails to the campaign team to advise them to only back down when something is clearly not true.
Adding to the rumble of anti-Santorum rhetoric around here, isn’t the best way to support a guy you would vote for.
I would agree with you 100%, if only Santorum hadn’t gleefully joined in the piling on and destruction of Newt. Once he did that, any sympathy I may have had for him has flown right out the window.
This is politics. He’s a Republican and the msm is lying in wait for anything he says that they can pounce on to bring him down. He can’t afford to ‘take chances’.
He has to be very careful what he says & how he says it - not fair, but it’s true.
He doesn’t have the luxury that Obama does, of being able to backtrack & explain what he meant. And if he has to explain what he meant twice in a week, he’s going to lose support & momentum.
He could try the Newt approach and start regularly calling out the media for twisting his words or his meaning and make them look like the hyenas they are.
Otherwise, he needs to choose his words very carefully to avoid providing them with ammunition.
