I care about the here and now. Newt has been and still is the only man in the room. The longer he's around the longer the moronic public is exposed to genuine, intelligent solutions rather than the pitiful pandering we're getting from options b and c.
The Gold Standard for judging things around here, Sarah Palin, seems to have thought what Santorum said was great, and was the correct response, to that reporter.
That would explain why he's not getting any votes.
I'm no fan of gutter language and I won't defend it.
But apart from using words which (unfortunately) have now become common vocabulary, how does what Santorum said attacking a reporter differ from Newt Gingrich's prior attack on media during the South Carolina debate, and numerous other prior attacks on media?
The only difference I can see is that Gingrich supporters like his attacks and don't think they're “unpresidential” but don't like Santorum’s attack so they call it “unpresidential” as well as “un-Christian.”
Few if any of us on this board believe in pacifism. Lots of Gingrich supporters said Santorum wasn't tough enough. Being a nice milquetoast pansy “meek and mild” guy isn't required by Scripture in any way — I can show numerous passages of Scripture that make Santorum’s comment look mild — and I fail to see how Santorum isn't being criticized here for doing the same thing Gingrich has been doing for a long time.
Again, I don't defend gutter language. But let's be consistent. Gingrich supporters can't blame Santorum for doing pretty much the same thing they praised Gingrich for doing.
“Newt has been and still is the only man in the room”
who doesn’t realize that his campaign is over.
God Bless Rick Santorum!
