Many years ago I was angry at the way national politics was being conducted. Rather than carefully research candidates and make a decision based on facts, I went with the one who seemed morally pious and superior.

Voting for Jimmy Carter is a huge regret I carry to this day, because Carter, socially conservtive but a fiscal liberal, believed and acted upon his belief in government solutions.

I am not going to make that same mistake again by voting for Rick Santorum.

So you don’t see any difference between Carter and Santorum? Really?

Me too!

The difference is Carter was a liberal asshole, and Santorum is basically, a conservative.

Jimmy Carter seemed earnest enough, but didn’t have half a clue how things actually worked. How does the saying go, the road to hell is paved with good intentions?

Santorum a fiscal liberal? Stop listening to propaganda. I’m from Pa, and believe me, the guy’s a straight arrow. But, I’m afraid that even our own folks are too gullible to understand this in time. Bob

This primary is starting to look like a circular firing squad.

I’ll bet Obama is getting downright fat on popcorn these days...what WILL he do with all of that money he won’t have to spend for his re-election?
