Mitt thanks you for you support.
Mitt thanks the Santorum supporters for their support. It was his pipe dream after South Carolina to stop Newt’s momentum and there were very few ways of doing it besides splitting the conservative vote with another candidate. It seemed incredibly unlikely that Santorum could serve that purpose after his long string at the bottom of the polls, his constant stumbling over himself in debates, his 18-point loss in the 2006 Senate race, and his deep ties to the Bush era of big spending which almost every Republican has been trying to disavow for the last 4 years. But Santorum supporters handed Mitt his greatest wish on a silver platter, his one shot at securing the nomination after being badly on the ropes. Thankfully, as a consistent supporter of the only candidate who is willing and able to do what it takes to turn this country around from the brink, Newt Gingrich, I don’t have to live with that on my conscience.
If one uneven debate performance during a debate where Romney hurled constant indefensible lies against Newt is seriously the reason people abandoned Newt Gingrich, then they should be RUNNING LIKE THE WIND from Santorum now after he bombed like the Hindenburg at the Arizona debate. The real reason most people support him is because they are grossly ignorant of the dire straits our government is in and do not care if it gets fixed or not. They are judgmental people who commit the sin of pride by using their religion as a club against those they deem to be inferior people. In doing that, they ignore some of the most fundamental lessons of the Bible and of Jesus Christ. They do a disservice both to their professed faith and, by introducing this morally flawed thinking into politics, they do a disservice to their country.
