Psycho, you will find (maybe too late) that going insane in private is better than going insane in public.
All this stuff you’re saying about how there are dark secrets about Santorum that we will ‘find out too late’ is ridiculous.
Unlike Mitt, Santorum was in the senate for a long while. His record is public. He has a very good conservative rating. We don’t know what Mitt’s rating would have been, but not too good I wouldn’t think. He is mainly touting his Olympic success. He hardly even mentions his tour as governor because that reminds everyone of Romney care.
That’s the problem with having been in public life. You have a record. This has hurt Newt also, even though his record was mostly good (as was Rick’s) but all the stumbles come out.
There are no deep, dark secrets about Santorum. Someone is fond of posting a long list of Santorum votes they didn’t like. I pray they stop as it is boring. We don’t know the context of any of those votes. We do know that he had a mostly very favorable conservative rating.
You seem to think that if you attack Santorum viciously enough, you will turn his supporters to Newt.
The truth is, it has the opposite effect.
I have to keep reminding myself that you are not Newt and that Newt would never say the stuff you say.
You need to take a deep breath and step away from the keyboard for a while.
We don’t know what Mitt’s rating would have been
Romney Admits He Destroyed Government Records To Keep Them From Political Opponents
By Alex Seitz-Wald on Nov 21, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Last week, a Boston Globe investigation uncovered that former Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration destroyed emails, purchased hard drives, and otherwise obliterated all digital records of his time as governor of Massachusetts. This happened as Romney was leaving the state to campaign for president (the first time), and observers immediately speculated that the systematic destruction was politically motivated to hide embarrassing data.
Romney and his campaign have so far denied this, with the candidate saying this weekend in New Hampshire that his staff took the highly unusual step of purchasing their work hard drives because they might contain “confidential and private” information. Meanwhile, he’s made calls for greater White House transparency a part of his campaign message.
But in a fairly stunning admission today during an interview with the editorial board of the Nashua Telegraph in New Hampshire, Romney suggested that his administration deleted emails because they didn’t want “opposition research teams” to have access to them:
ROMNEY: Well, I think in government we should follow the law. And there has never been an administration that has provided to the opposition research team, or to the public, electronic communications. So ours would have been the first.
Watch it:
While Romney’s claim that no previous administration had kept emails may be true, that’s hardly a strong precedent given that emailing was not commonplace for very many years before Romney took office.
Meanwhile, Romney clearly broke precedent with the hard drive buybacks, as staffers for previous administration called the purchases “unheard of.” Terry Dolan, who worked in six previous administrations in the state, told the Globe, “That had not happened prior to the end of the Romney administration.” “I don’t remember anybody buying their hard drives. I don’t remember anybody buying anything,’’ said Stephen Crosby, who worked for Romney’s two predecessors.
