There are now several internal polls and indications, that if Santorum stays in until PA is over, he risks losing his political career permanently if he loses PA again. If he drops out before PA, he can salvage his future in politics.
The inside pressure mounting against Santorum to drop out, is becoming very intense. Santorum himself, scoffed at the magnitude of the pressure and vowed that it was nothing and would not stop him.
This is typical for Santorum, who has a long history and reputation for being obsessively stubborn, arrogant and unreasonable. So, it looks like Santorum has decided to self destruct once again. Only this time, it will be permanent.
Your faux concern over Santorum’s political future is odd in light of your SDS (Santorum Derangement Syndrome). I think we get it...Obamney is the one! (Either 1.0 or 2.0).
Okay, Psycho-Freep, the permanent destruction of Rick Santorum should make you happy.
This campaign is very close to being over, I'm getting tired of seeing posts like this from you, and I'm going to respond with a bit of the spirit you seem to use regularly. I can respect a Gingrich supporter, but at this point I do not think your posts are accomplishing anything except helping Mitt Romney, and I cannot respect that. You need to state clearly, if you have not already done so, why you oppose Romney and why you believe he should not win the Republican nomination. If you've made such posts in the past, I'd like to see links to them, and if you haven't done so in the past, I'd like to see you spend some significant time explaining why you believe Romney is a bad candidate.
I'm not so sure I agree with your evaluation of Santorum as being "obsessively stubborn, arrogant and unreasonable." But let's say you're right. I would politely suggest that a lot of conservatives consider the flip sides of being “stubborn, arrogant and unreasonable” to be “steadfast, angry at liberals, and refusing to compromise convictions.”
Now you may very well believe that Rick Santorum isn't conservative enough, but someone who likes compromise probably isn't going to be a conservative. A conservative compromises when he's forced to do so, not when a liberal asks him nicely to do so.
Since you're obviously a strong Santorum opponent, would you like to explain your plan for how to keep President Obama from winning re-election at this late date? I believe Mitt Romney will hand the election to Obama, and even if Romney is elected, we're going to have a liberal Republican in office who will make George H.W. Bush look conservative. At least Gerald Ford and GHW Bush were legitimate World War II military veterans and deserve credit for that, and I do not see what Romney brings to the Republican table other that having tens of millions of dollars of his own money to spend on his own campaign.
You've got every right in the world to say Santorum isn't the best Republican candidate — I have my own concerns about Santorum — but won't you agree with me that Romney is far worse?
