I’m with you brother/sister.
Romney will NEVER EVER get my vote (ARE YOU LISTENING, GOP???)
Not that it would matter anyway since I live in the People’s Republic of King County/State of Washington, but it will still feel good to deny him my vote - first time I will EVER not vote for the Republican presidential nominee.
You must not have read the link I posted to you earlier. There's little reason for you to base your faith in Santorum's chances on the outcome of the Iowa caucus. None, in fact.
Hope and prayer is about all you've really got at this point, I'm afraid.
Then that shall have to suffice.
I don't know how hard I'm gonna fight for Newt, but he is my choice at this point, and he's got my vote in the primary. That's as much as I'm willing to promise, though I will continue to voice my support for him on this forum and elsewhere.
Like a lot of others, I've already been beat to a pulp by this process, and we're only getting started .. gads...
So come play with us then. :)
I know how I felt when Cain got pushed out. I was disgusted with the whole process. The Santorum came out of nowhere and won Iowa. Forced me to go whoa - what’s happening here?
If you’re gonna go through the process, you might as well have fun with it! I know I’m enjoying this run by Santorum.
Take care.
Actual abrasions, contusions and lacerations about the head and shoulders, or are we talking virtual here?
I wonder sometimes. I feel like I need a long soak in a hot bath of epsom salts. LOL
It's been a rough ride, and we've got many miles to go.
Sternly worded posts you can blow off all day!
That's what got you to jump on the Santorum bandwagon? Well, alright, but his Iowa win was entirely unconvincing to me, because it was in direct conflict with his established polling trend.
Now that we're passed New Hampshire, that spike Santorum enjoyed, is eroding rapidly. That's not what should be happening to a candidate who's got a solid base of national support. He should be polling at least at number two right now, and he should have done much better in New Hampshire, as well.
I'm sorry, but I've watched Santorum since the primary began, and he's never struck me as anything more than a second tier candidate, for a laundry list of reasons.
Oh, I was only half joking. I'm not going anywhere, and I've got a world of fight left in me. I've been jibber-jabbering on this site for years, and I haven't been beat down yet! LOL
Thanks for the pep talk.
Sic em, fang!
That’s exactly it. No more, no less.
I always liked Santorum, he was my second choice after Cain. Then I began to realize that a whole bunch of other folks felt the same way that I did, and they were willing to stick their necks out and push him out there.
I looked at the numbers, and the numbers show Santorum as the choice of the conservative voters, not just in Iowa but in NH too.
I don’t presume to understand it. It’s just the way things are today. The race has changed - for the better.
I don't know what polling numbers you're looking at, but they can't possibly be the same ones that are being posted here on a daily basis. Those polls show Santorum sliding back into the second tier where he's been all along.
Maybe you're consulting some kind of specialty poll that purports to only track true conservatives. Dunno, but their numbers aren't working out too well in the real world of the election. The top-rated national polls say that he's sliding.
“I don’t know what polling numbers you’re looking at, but they can’t possibly be the same ones that are being posted here on a daily basis. Those polls show Santorum sliding back into the second tier where he’s been all along.”
I’m looking at the exit polls for both Iowa and NH, and at the county data for both. Santorum’s strong areas are in the areas which have greater conservative support, areas that rejected Obama, or supported Obama to a lesser degree than others.
“The top-rated national polls say that he’s sliding.”
When is the national primary?
Maybe - they keep electing Lindsey Goober Graham.
If posting this doesn’t tell you Drudge is in the tank for Willard nothing will. Tokyo Rove must have something on him.
Ditto—This is a push poll orchestrated by the RINO-led, demrat party-controlled national GOP. In the upstate SC I’ve not seen one Romney(care) sign. Mostly Santorum signs and a few for Newty.
Those evangelical Christian clergy who came out for Santorum the other day will play hugh here. SC is, afterall, a Bible belt state. It is also a self-reliance state. There is no way a thinking South Carolinian will vote for a former governor of a Marxist state who signed mandated health care into law. A policy that is failing. And a policy that indicates all the bad things that will come from Onadacare.
Nor will most voters in this state get behind the two-time (at least) philanderer Newty. Nor will most voters get behind a guy who says his pro global warming photo op sitting knee to knee with Pelosi on a love seat is “inexplicable”. That explanation is unacceptable. The only thing that explains it is Pelosi’s very public statement a few weeks back that she had Newty by the [b****] with dirt on him.
Agreed. Romney is the GOP version of Obama. His financers are the same as Obama’s, Beware South Carolina.
If the Republicans were smart, they would put Huntsman up as their candidate. The base would never vote for Obama anyway, so they’d vote for Huntsman as the person with the most conservative record. And, most importantly, Huntsman would split the independent and disaffected Democrat vote - there you have it. President Huntsman. I am baffled that the GOP strategists can’t see a winning game staring them in the face. Any other GOP candidate is toast. IMO.
And snagging the biggest SC paper endorsement can’t hurt.

Huckabees Forum Last Night had all these Questioners and My wife said Not one of them had a South Carolina Accent,they are all Transpalnted Liberals down there now. Of course romney will win
Going through the motions of democracy helps to keep the sheeple asleep, but there was never a chance for a candidate that would support the interests of the majority over the hostile elite.
