pa lost because the majority of the state is located within the poverty stricken liberal areas of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia who are dumb, like many who post here. Waiting for more handouts, like many who post here.

Oh, also lost because of the fake conservatives here trashing Santorum.

You weren’t one of those, were you?

Be gone? Are you threatening me? Cool! Very conservative of you.

"...trashing Santorum."

I'm sorry, but when is questioning a candidate's credentials, positions or legislation "trashing"? Who gets to define what constitutes "trashing"? Those in agreement with or opposed to the candidate?

There were a lot of folks on this board accusing anyone who challenged or questioned a candidate of this very thing or worse. I will not take any one person's word or even the candidate's word at face value, especially if I am not familiar with them.

I am currently of the opinion that Christie, like Romney, could do more harm than good to the entire conservative movement, because the media has painted/identified them as "conservatives" and any true conservative will tell you and be able to prove different. I reject the premise that I should accept the media's identification of "conservative" candidates just because the candidate says they are.

Why should anyone be obliged to sit still and accept what the media or an anonymous poster on FR have to say about a candidate?

I am almost convinced this is an attempt to stifle debate through ad hominem.
