Not sleazy, smart. Reagan Democrats are a natural target for Santorum -- or any Republican candidate trying to win the conservative vote.
Face it. Romney would've run these ads, too...if he'd thought of it.
Anne was persona non grata here, and suddenly 3 people post the same article in a few minutes.
Unlike too many people on this forum, I’m not trying to fool anyone. I speak of current events of Santorum dirty ads recently in the news. This Santorum tactic was voted against just today 87 to 13 by the Special Report viewers. I suppose they are all just dirty Romney lovers, too? Actually, I hope that’s true.
Kindly document you accusation of Romney 2008 robo-calls asking Dimocrats to vote against any Republican. ANY Republican.
Next time, *read* my post!
Romney took a recorded endorsement Santorum made for him in 2008 and made a robocall of it and used it in this 2012 primary season. VERY SLEAZY.
I’ll find a link tomorrow.
I’m with you, City. Santorum’s robocalls were an act of desperate opportunism. And what’s wrong with Romney touting Santorum’s 08 praise? Has Mitt changed dramatically since then?
Allowing crossover voting is self destructive.
Weather you like it or not doesn't matter to me, I didn't comment one way or another on your support of it.
You may be a teacher in real life, but giving homework to posters here isn't part of the curriculum.
Or respectful, in fact it's disrespectfully condescending.
I didn't hear or need to hear the audio.
I heard the robo ad, that's enough for what I commented on.
I get what he did just fine.
If you have a problem with my previous post to you, I respectfully suggest that you go over both of them slowly.
These calls went out around the time that Newt was rising and there were people calling for Santorum to drop out. Romney used these calls to purposely confuse voters as to the status of Santorum’s candidacy. Did he drop out and decide to back Romney, as Perry did with Newt?
Sleazy and deceptive.
She is supporting a RINO! Her opinion means squat to me.
If she were supporting Newt, she would have more credibility. But Mitt! Please Ann, save it. I’m not interested in what you have to say anymore.
We do?
Did I misunderstand Ann's point, or is she really saying that conservatives "believe the states can establish a religion"?
This conservative doesn't believe that, any more than I believe the states can abridge free speech or infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
This woman is dead to me. She sold her soul for Mitt Romney? What a joke.
I have no problem with a candidate, any candidate, repeating the words, in context, of whatever his current opponent may have said on tape at sometime in the past. Duh. That’s politics 101.
As for finding a link, don’t bother on my account. I have already heard it. Nothing wrong with publicizing what someone said in the past. BTW, Rick was 100% correct in his assessment of Romney being the best candidate in 2008.
C’mon people, the name of the game is beating Obama not beating Romney. Beating Romney just assures that Obama will win. Let’s keep our eye on the ball, please.
Rick Santorum just proved himself the smarmiest Republican candidate for President in memory.
Asking Democrats to cross over for a “one-time” vote, knowing those same Democrats would run back to Obama in the general election!!!
What a worm Santorum is. Almost ashamed I supported him in Pennsylvania.
I’m going to look for it anyway because IIRC Santorum asked the voter TO VOTE FOR ROMNEY.
Levin is the only reliable talk show host who is left. I refuse to listen to any of the other hacks from now on, including his good buddy, Hannity, who was praising Romney on his show today. And what’s the deal with featuring 20 minutes with Velma, the Obama supporter with the IQ of a peanut?.
I tuned in to Sean’s show in the car for the first time in two years or so cuz nothing else was on. What a mistake, especially after yesterday.
I’ll not listen to another second rate back bencher pseudo Conservative talk show host.
Levin is a brilliant Constitutionalist who is unafraid of backlash from sponsors, misinformed friends or GOP elitist hacks.
He is the one solid Conservative voice that tells the truth consistently.
Like homosexuality in the military, Annie, and Roe vs. Wade, and the Public Accommodations Act, the FDA, and Obamacare, Annie? Like that?
Certain people in New York will go after his show and try to shut it down now, like they did Glenn Beck and are doing Rupert Murdoch right now.
Play ball or fall off the face of the earth, is their rule.
Not true. Not if they're homosexual hats and Gummi bears, not if they're Afro-American hats and Gummi bears, not if they're "Hispanic" or lesbian or Jewish or Asian-American or Moslem hats and Gummi bears.
Not if they've got "protection"! From the Protection Racket.
Um...you mean the same tactic as used in operation chaos? You mean the same tactic (reportedly) used by Ronald Reagan in 1976 in Texas?
Sorry, but I don’t buy it. These are the rules which Team Romney wanted. Yet, when they saw the rules might work against their campaign, they were whining about it.
The one constant of Republican nominees in my lifetime is Moderates (Liberals) lose general elections, Conservatives win general elections. If Romney does become the nominee, that constant won't change.
