If we are against Saint Rick, we have to be for Myth or Zero? We are pointing out that Rick will certainly lose and cost us Congress, too.
We could argue that by supporting Saint Rick, you are supporting Obama.
We need someone other than Saint Rick.
You have 4 or 5 choices. St. Rick, St. Newt, St. Mitt, or St. Paul. And you already know the 5th is Dear Leader.
That is it. Two are okay, one is not, and one is only half okay. One is horrible.
The two that are okay are all we have left against the one that isn’t, and the one that is horrible. The fact we still have two that are okay is a good buffer.
That is reality. A brokered convention will give you St. Mitt.
Absurd.
And who is this “we”? You and this Marg are a team?
In looking at your posts, you have also bashed Newt. So since you are against Santorum, Newt, and Mitt, who does that leave? RuPaul?
The general election in November is going to be about Obama. Obama was elected as "anti-bush" however ridiculous that seems. Reagan was elected as "anti-Carter".
It is crucial that whoever ends up the candidate, the campaigns be focused on Obama.
Santorum and Newt will expose Obama, his record and his incompetence. Newt is the political hawk with a nac for finding or creating opportunities to accomplish his agenda. But Newt has demonstrated either 1) A tendancy to chase popular sentiments and polls or 2) A tendency to take a position based on political winds and opportunity.
A newt supporter should explain Newt's support of National Healthcare (before he was against it). They should also explain his MMGW and carbon credit support (albeit briefly). I don't care about his marriage woes. I'm more concerned with his softening and his potential for having fallen out of touch with us commoners. He would make a good president but I think he would fumble and parse on health care repeal. By the time he gets there, it will be unpopular.
Santorum is absolutely conservative (unabashedly). He is still down to earth and manages by his values. He is not the strategist that is Gingrich.
I'm supporting Santorum for now. But I would be ok with voting for Newt in November. I will begrudgingly vote for Romney if I have to in the same way I voted for McCain.
You are free to vote for the person not a saint of your choice.
I see Rick Santorum as best reflecting my views and intentions for proper governance of a wayward and possibly lost Nation. His sainthood is not part of that intention. That said, I take it as a compliment to him. We should emulate the saints, you know.
