Why should the RNC have responded to the flap over Santorum’s remarks? It was a tempest in a teapot driven by the gay agenda crowd and their allies in the mainstream media. It was so silly it didn’t merit comment, and disappeared off the radar screen quickly.Uh, I guess you didn't notice the stories posted today about protests at Santorum's commencement speech. The homosexual media are not going to give up attacking Santorum until his supporters show some courage. And calling Santorum "inclusive" is not exactly courage.
I also wonder about your strategy of ignoring attacks on prominent defenders of family values. "Oh, it's not worth responding to," sounds to me like a prescription for disaster, in this area and in others.
I think Bauer et. al. need to grow up.
Now this is a horse of a different color. First you say the attacks on Santorum were not worth responding to. Now you say that social conservatives should grow up. Put the two together and it sounds like a program for liberal victory.
I did a Google search and saw no stories more recent than 4.26 about some faculty and students saying they didn’t want Santorum to be a commencement speaker at St. Joseph’s. Maybe I missed it, but I haven’t heard of any calls within the GOP for Santorum to step down from any committees or apologize (and FWIW, I agree with what he said and have been making similar arguments for years). So, apart from prolonging the “controversy”, I not sure what value any spirited RNC defense of Santorum would provide.
You comments about my attitude being a program for liberal victory didn’t make any sense to me. No President is going to satisfy any interest group 100% of the time; it’s just not the nature of politics. One of the problems with conservatives is they expect 100% support, and are ready to take their ball and go home if they don’t get their way. I really doubt that Bauer and Company will do this; they’re much too smart. It’s probably a way to show their vigilance to their supporters and let the RNC know not to take them for granted. IOW, your standard political Kabuki.
