But on the positive side, a Santorum win (even though he is no different than Romney) throws a major wrench into the media narrative. It is the media narrative that is winning the nomination, not the actual candidates. The key, therefore, is to beat the media narrative.
With Romney out of the way and no longer seen as “inevitable,” we can finally focus on Newt vs Santorum and destroy Santorum’s conservative myth.
A Santorum or a Romney victory in this nomination is a defeat for the country. Both candidates ridicule “Libertarianism”, which is actually their way of ridiculing small-government conservatism. Romney is a simple opportonunist with no core beliefs. Santorum is confused on his core beliefs, and seems to think it is the government’s role to benefit the Family or the “community” over the rights of the individual. He also had no problem smiling and clapping on stage with Specter as he was running for President on a platform that is the exact opposite of everything Santorum supposedly stands for. Santorum ain’t no leader, and I have never seen any big campaign being launched by him for any topic of importance. Not even on abortion.
Santorum has to go. Romney has to go. Only Newt must prevail, or the country is literally lost, and the Tea Party movement that inspired new interest in serious tax and governmental reform will be dead and buried, and in its place we’ll be debating gay marriage as the major issue of the day.
Peddle that crap elsewhere. Santorum has a 82% ACU rating. Newt has a 86% ACU rating.
Romney doesn't have one, but if he did he'd be somewhere in the Olympia Snowe range.
Plug Newt all you want. I like him too. But don't lie.
“Only Newt must prevail, or the country is literally lost, and the Tea Party movement that inspired new interest in serious tax and governmental reform will be dead and buried, and in its place we’ll be debating gay marriage as the major issue of the day.”
Yep sure You Betcha.
Face-palm....
I agree with everything you say, but I have to give Santorum major snaps for how well he’s doing. This guy has the absolute best timing I’ve ever seen! Here he is, on a downward trajectory, yet Super Tuesday happens at wxactly the right time for him. Congratulations to Rick and his supporters on Free Republic.
