LOL, even one of the Santophiles posted a few pages back that he just knew no one was watching the debate anyway and it would have terrible ratings. That’s even sinking further into desperation and lousy, phony talking points than they usually go.

I liked Santorum well enough as a second choice after Newt for a while but, unlike Newt, his record has not held up well under the increased scrutiny. I was surprised that was the best defense he could come up with for voting for the bill with the Planned Parenthood funding. That made me question whether his moral convictions are as strong as he likes to say they are. And when he came out and pretty much openly said he was a “go along to get along guy” in Washington (not even disagreeing when Ron Paul used those words) he just shredded the whole basis for his candidacy in these troubled times to pieces.

I thought another great Newt answer was how he said they are probably all more distrustful of big government than they had been in the past. I think that was a believable answer about how someone’s positions can honestly evolve over time.

Great observations Jedi....these are the very things which people who support him need to "hear" and discern about Rick....and they have yet to really see his temperment for more than just a glimpse now and then. .....I am in Pa. and we well know how Rick operates....when push comes to shove Rick is a indeed a go along guy with those who can manuver him thru his political ambitions.
