“Blue nose”? What does that mean? Santorum is the son of Italian immigrants. His grandfather worked in the coal mines until he was in his 70s. Santorum is a graduate of Dickinson College and the University of Pittsburgh, not Ivy-League schools. He’s no spoiled rich kid from a privileged background. He won four of five elections in a state in which Democrats greatly outnumber Republicans. Gingrich won elections in safe Republican districts in Georgia. He only served four years as speaker before his own colleagues kicked him out. Many of them have now come forward publicly to say he lacks the discipline, temperament and managerial skills to be president. I don’t think they should be dismissed as quickly as some on this forum are willing to do.
I must agree with some posts that I read earlier. This does not sound like the FR I am used to. There have got to be “hackers” or liberals posting here. Although we may disagree about candidates, it has never been this vicious with attacks.
Those that got rid of him immediatly went to SPENDING like “conservative democrats” alias, “RINO” republicans.I think they just wanted him out of the way, he was crimping their style.
“Blue nose”? What does that mean?
1) Santorum backed RINO Specter and not conservative Toomey.
2) He’s playing the conservative vote divider like Huckabee did in 2008, allowing RINO McCain to get the nomination.
He’s blue, not red. He should look in the mirror, show himself a man of the people like Perry, and drop out for the greater good.
He can wait for a “it’s his turn” election year. Not this year. He can also run for governor.
A bluenose is a prude, not a snob.
“Republicans. Gingrich won elections in safe Republican districts in Georgia.”
That’s true today but not back in the ‘70s when Gingrich first ran. At the time, you may recall (or not), we had a Democrat president from Georgia. It was still part of the “Solid [Democrat] South.”
I remember what happened to Newt as speaker like it was yesterday.
Newt was driven out by the leftwing media, Democrats and then finally, feckless spineless RINOs simply because he had the nerve to try and lead a fically conservative revolution and an impeachment of a lying president.
Your above comment is way off.
Since you brought it up. When and where did Aldo Santorum naturalize?
