Fo’ Shissler!
Can’t stand these accolites. They can’t do anything but find fault, which if you are looking hard enough you will....always.
Intellectually bankrupt is why they can’t muster enough reason and put forth a compelling case.
Bot, bot, a-bot, botty, bot. Malware crap programming.

The real problem is that Santorum will help Obama via the fact that Santorum is pretty much unelectable in the general election. Nominating Santorum will be nominating the one guy who would lose to Obama.
Then it matters not if Gingrich stays in Romney wins, if Gingrich gets out Romney wins, so save his doners some money.
Ego is a terrible thing to waste.
This list pretty much sums it up.
I think it is extremely telling that the only real argument that the Santorum supporters can come up with is “Gingrich hurts our guy’s chances of winning.”
Left unspoken is any argument for why their guy *deserves* to win. Simply put, they can’t really make the case for the Ricker. They can whine about Newt “taking votes away from” their guy (which operates on the false premise that Newt supporters would vote for Santorum otherwise instead of just, say, sitting out the primary since the only two options are both RINO establishment schlubs), but they can’t make the case for why we should vote FOR Santorum.
Your list makes a huge case AGAINST Santorum - and one which remains true no matter how much our bruised-ego Santorum supporting FRiends don’t like it.
Can I have some eggs with that spam?
Santorum cannot win 1144 delegates and neither can Newt. If either or both were to quit, Romney could.
There’s your answer.
I’m sure Patton will oblige with the eggs and some of that pork that Santorum loves so much on the side
This article is narrowly focused on one question. What are you wanting a 10,000 word manifesto?
Look, there are plenty posts in favor of Rick Santorum and you may opt and sit on the sidelines and pout if you don’t get your, but that’s not representative of Gingrich supporters.
I’m for Santorum because he has character that can be relied upon. In every state Gingrich has to give away the 1/6-1/4 of the population that is looking for a President with strong moral character matters.
I also think Santorum has the courage to take on tough issues such as willingness to begin reforming entitlements NOW rather than waiting ten years like other candidates.
No, there are only three purely proportional states left. We have mostly winner-take-all by Congressional District or winner-take-all by State. Multiple conservatives don’t help in such a situation, they hinder.
What else would you expect with someone with such an out of control EGO...
They all cheat on their wives, they always put themselves first even over country.
It is disgusting and a disgrace...
However with all that said I think the longer the primary runs without a clear winner the shorter the time-frame Obama has to focus his campaign on one individual.
Right now Obama has to spend money on three campaign approaches.
That would be helpful.

Actually, I've been doing exactly the opposite - demonstrating time and time and time again WHY Santorum is a terrible candidate, with things like facts.

I wish Santorum supporters could figure out that character means more than *just* not being divorced.
Santorum helped to build the modern welfare state by his voting record. That is immoral.
Santorum helped to launch Sonya Sotomayor's judicial career with his vote for her. That is immoral.
Santorum voted against reforming food stamps and other welfare programs that destabilise the nuclear family. That is immoral.
Santorum voted against opportunities to lower taxes and let workers keep more of what they earned through their own sweat. That is immoral.
Santorum voted against removing the tax code's marriage penalty, thus voting to continue to penalise people for getting married. That is immoral.
Yet, we have these sanctimonious ninnies who run around supporting Santorum because "he has a good marriage," while attacking the one guy who actually has conservative credentials in fixing the aforementioned problems because "he has a bad marital history."
For the past twelve years, Newt's been as happily and faithfully married as Rick Santorum has been. Newt has the added advantage of not having worked to big up the welfare state on the basis of phony "Christian compassion" arguments.
I also think Santorum has the courage to take on tough issues such as willingness to begin reforming entitlements NOW rather than waiting ten years like other candidates.
Ridiculous. Santorum himself is a part of the reason why we even have these big government entitlement problems in the first place.
You really joined fr as a pre-teen? Santorum is nair..
He removes hair?
He may think he does.. ;0)
I’ve commented on Newt’s character before and just don’t want to get banned, so I can’t debate the full extent of Newt’s character, so I’m going to let that pass, as I’m hamstrung by Free Republic’s rules from discussing the character of Newt Gingrich openly and freely.
Let it suffice to say that your arguments haven’t worked. In Mississippi, 20% of voters said that a candidate having strong moral character was the most important factor and they voted 65-8% or 13-1.6% And that percent is consistent in every primary and you guys can argue about it all you want but Newt is handicapped from winning those voters.
You’re cherry picking vote to form a narrative that’s simply not true. During 12 years in the Senate, Santorum received 7 grades of A from the National Taxpayers Union during 12 years in the Senate along with 3 B+ and 2Bs, he’s received strong ratings from the American Conservative Union and Citizens Against Government Waste.
Newt’s speakership was a wasted opportunity. After the government shutdown, he timidly gave in to demand after demand from President Clinton, broke spending caps, and counted on the Lewinsky scandal to deliver Republican gains. He was forced out by conservatives after four years because he could not have been re-elected Speaker. There was a conservative rebellion against him in 1997. Gingrich is a great revolutionary, but lousy at actually implementing anything.
No, I haven’t updated my profile in a long time. I joined when I was 19. Now, I’m 31.
Time for an update.. me too. But I can care less about the snoops on this forum. I could care less. Probably much like you.
