Wrong! Conservatives picked Newt. Those against Newt picked santorum, the one who is KNOWN for taking one for the team/GOP. They learned nothing and,thus are not unteachable. The reason why santorum didn't drop out was to prevent Newt from winning against THE TEAM/GOP/Romney.
Thanks. You made my point! According to you santorum is not even a conservative. I don’t buy it but I sort of understand where you are coming from. I never liked santorum either.
And then some santorum fans might say that since newt cheated on his wife, posed with pelosi and was a global warming nut then certainly newt is no conservative. I was a newt supporter but there is no question newt has baggage. One can whittel away at the conservative credentials of just about everyone that ran.
So there you have it. Conservatives didn’t split the vote because no pure “conservatives” even ran. So since conservatives didn’t even run for president then what are we complaining about? :-). Gotta laugh at some of this crap.
