The two-faced, slime ball, backslidden Mormon, Mitt RINO-Rom had the audacity to take Rick Santorum to task Wednesday night for endorsing Arlen Specter. Yes, Rick Santorum endorsed Specter back in 1994, or whenever. Why? Because Rick had gotten an endorsement from Specter in the past. This is the same reason why my girl Sarah endorsed John McLame in his last Senate reelection campaign. It’s called feeling a sense of obligation to return the favor to people who helped put you where you are today. Sarah did it for John McLame and Rick did it for Specter. Now, can we put all this crap behind us? I despised RS for years for endorsing Specter. I was more “understanding” to Sarah for endorsing McLame. Let's move on.
A Liberal Republican is a Liberal Republican; regardless of what you can hang around their neck at the moment. McCain would not even allow people in his town hall audiences say anything negative about Obama during the ‘08 Presidential Race. McCain’s wife and b**ch daughter, Meagan, are both very vocal Pro-Choice broads. Don’t tell me McCain is not Pro-Choice in his heart. And, just for the record, I loathe Arlen Specter. I glad he got his butt kicked by Pat Toomey. He is a low-life a-hole.
Well, in ‘08, when Santorum endorsed RINO-Rom, all the candidates were RINOs except Fred Thompson and he had no fire in his belly.
And I could care less about Sarah’s loyalty to McLain. She betrayed her followers AND herself in doing so.

And, I had a problem with that but understood it; especially when I realized what a flake J.D. Hayworth was.
But, had McCain not picked Sarah for the VP spot would she have the notoriety and the political clout she has today? NO!!! Let’s be real here.
That is a stupid comparison, the 2008 Presidential ticket not turning on itself for no reason, on the verge of the 2010 election, has nothing to do with Senator Santorum.
Is this is the leftist tradition of two evils make a good? Everybody does it, so forget about it. :)
I have not heard Rick appologize or take back what he did with snarlin’ Arlen. He makes excuses and offers rationalizations on it. Rino loyality is really a pitiful excuse.
He also voted for “no child left behind.” Centralizing power over education in the US is about as bad as it can get (next to centralizing power over life and death - health care). He’s a go with the flow, good ole boy without much brain action happening.
Palin did not betray anyone, the betrayal would have been her destroying our 2010 election cycle by making the lead story the 2008 GOP ticket turning on itself, and her backing a flake with no chance of winning anyway, just to make sure that the story dominated the news coverage and pushed the tea party history making efforts (and resulting success) to the back page.
I hear ya. I agree when it comes to Bush, and it is coming down to who we can stomach to support. We’re going to bite the bullet soon.
Actually the media turned boldly public in it’s open bias under Bill Clinton. There had been an understanding that the media was in the hip pocket of the Left clear back to Nixon and before, but the plausible deniability under Clinton completely evaporated. They just openly shilled for the man.
I don’t disagree that they did it in 2008 of course. The certainly did.
I also want to remind you of something. It is vitally important who we place in the oval office from our side. Look what our guy handed off in 2008. We simply cannot allow someone in there that’s going to hand off another mess, so another worse than ever before becomes an acceptable choice to most folks.
Thanks for the response.
;^)
I’m not denying that. That’s was obviously going to be a perk for having joined the team. That doesn’t mitigate the fact that she did him the favor.
It’s one thing as a Conservative to join a ticket where you don’t like the head of the ticket, to try to moderate their obvious Leftist leanings.
It’s another thing completely to back that person to return to Washington in an un-moderated form when they’re as vile as John McCain.
Morally, I couldn’t have endorsed him. I could easily have run with him on a ticket, once he was the nominee and I thought it might keep him in check a bit if I had input along the way.
It’s my opinion I would have been relegated to the claok closet on January 21st, 2009 though, but you do what you can.
To help you understand why she didn’t owe him, I want you to realize he would have done this to her also. She would have gotten the Johnson/Kennedy treatment once he was elected. He wouldn’t have talked to her again for three years.
That being the reality of it, do you think she owed him? I don’t. Besides that, the man was unclean. He was a Sorros sock puppet.
I’m not saying this as a put-down. I’m not here to put Palin down. I’m just saying it because it’s the way I see him, and I wouldn’t want to see her used.
No, I don't think it was because Newt was necessarily too conservative for them but I do think maybe they couldn't control him like they wanted.
From the day, I don’t remember anything that the full body of Republicans in the House were damanding, that Newt simply refused to go along with.
When the rank and file refuse to return you to that position, there has to be a pretty good reason for it. The reasons I mentioned are the only one’s I can attribute to it.
If you can find some issue or disagreement you can point to specifically, I’d be interested in knowing what it was.
Remember, the rank and file wouldn’t support Trent Lott so it didn’t take much to scare them off.
And what is your criticism of Sarah for endorsing John McCain in his 2010 Senate Race. You forgot to include that. I guess you despise her also.
Oh, BS. If you are a RINO, you always need the support of middle Dems, “middle” Nazi’s or “middle” anything. Look at McCain for instance. Good for your image, dontcha know.
Trent was another warm bucket of horse sweat.
If the numbers are close, it is helpful to have some Dem votes. If the majority has a decent spread, you really don’t need the Dems.
