I don’t fall for this emotionalism stuff. I realized he was a faker back when he’d start talking about how courageous he was while standing in front of a banner that said “courageous.” It’s stupid.
The guy is a phony and probably has a deal with the RINOs to disrupt the nomination process. A battle over “who is more conservative”, especially with a guy willing to be as nasty as he can be, damages all the candidates, splits the vote and only aids the RINO.
It has nothing to do with “emotionalism stuff.” Separate everything out-—your opinion on Santorum, the Post’s motive behind the story, whatever else—and you have an account of a very sick little girl who probably won’t live very much longer.
If you still don’t feel a damned thing, if you see no reason for a glimmer of compassion for her and her family, and if you view such human (and Christian) response as “emotionalism”, then you have my sympathy.
There it is! We knew it wouldn't be long.
And we will be seeing this same script multiple times with minor variations over the course of the campaign applied to virtually every non-Bush candidate on the ballot.
