What this is devolving into, is another election where I’m sick of everyone in the race.
For the most part, Santorum’s big infractions are listed as having taken place around 1994 to 1996. If those infractions are merely indicators of something he still believes today, then I’m hard pressed to support him.
On the other hand, we have a clown whose own party members refused to return him to a position they had the power to return him to. Now he wants the party to support him in his presidential bid.
Santorum doesn’t have executive leadership experience. Someone else does, and failed at it. He was going to be booted by his own subordinates, and quit instead.
What is painfully evident, is that one guy is held to account for everything, and the other person isn’t allowed to be talked about at all.
Instead we get this endless list of wonderful things he is supposed to want to do for us, but of course nobody can address them. That certainly does cause one to want to support the guy huh.
There are times when promises of future action cause me joy, and there are times when promises of future action actually cause me to scratch my head and wonder why all of a sudden now?
The list of promises grows every day. At some point you have to wonder if gentler winters and more mid 70s days in future summers are going to be promised next.
It’s as if someone has researched every beef Conservatives ever had, and they are one by one being addressed. And while that would generally warm the cockles of my heart, they are steadily growing more absurd by the day.
You’ve got an old girl-friend. She’s been problematic in the past, but suddenly she wants you back real bad. The promises are flowing, and at some point it hits you, she couldn’t possibly do all this. It just isn’t in her.
I’m not saying I’m there yet, but I am getting damned close.

Want people to not pick at Santorum? Then learn to put the stick down.
Calling Newt a “clown” because some RINOs in leadership didnt like him anymore is someone I would vote for far above a CLOWN that lost his seat by 18%.
Which is precisely what the liberal media is after.
There is little hope of holding politicians, plain office functionaries, to philosophical purity when most can't even be held to their own party platform.
The Democrats have little concern that their candidate will bald-faced lie while running. They take for granted they will get most of what they want later. The galling issue is that many Republican office seekers once elected then go on to try to please and pander to the media instead of their own voters on the Republican side.
Bush ran on a number of hot-button issues, one of which was high federal involvement in secondary education. The proof he was no conservative was that he actaully advanced such legislation once elected. If he was a democrat endorsing something more conservative during a campaign, he would have just ignored it or paid small lip service to it later.
We are going to have to decide who we want in the general election. That is what we are voting for in the primary process by the time it is down to three.
