Let’s not act like your a bunch of hapless innocent victims here. For every negative post a Santorum supporter has made about Gingrich, I can easily cite an equally vitrolic post by a Gingrich supporter against Santorum. Frankly, I’m getting fed up with the caustic bickering from both sides. I may prefer Santorum personally, but I’d gladly back Gingrich if he were to emerge as the frontrunner.

Your Saint isn’t beating Romney and even if he did, he damn sure couldn’t win against Obama.

And you base this on what evidence exactly??? Looking at the daily Rasmussen tracking polls and Real Clear Politics polling averages, Santorum currently fares statistically NO WORSE against Obama than Romney and FAR BETTER than Gingrich. But let’s not act like Obama is some formidable and hugely popular candidate here that a majority of the American electorate is just chomping at the bit to re-elect. I believe ANY of the Republican candidates, warts and all, can ultimately beat Obama if we focus on tearing him down instead of our own guys!

I do not see Santorum as a conservative, I don’t like his politics, I see him as a two-faced buffoon and I will never support him.

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion and I can appreciate your passion, but I don’t see how leveling incendiary insults against Santorum and his supporters are going to win any new converts over to your side. Just sayin’.

I learned a long time ago that with some folks, you just can’t fix stupid, so I quit trying. If my posts bother you, ignore them. You will not quiet me.

Polls, polls, polls. Polls are glimpses into that particular moment. If you think Rick has any shot at beating Obama + the Obama media you are crazy. Rick had a lead in Michigan. He had a poor debate, but what really really hurt was the Obama media pile on about “Satan”, “birth control”, “separation of church and state” etc.
Don’t say “Yeah but they misrepresented his views” or something to that effect. Of course they did to an extent! Exactly what they’ll do if he faces Obama. They’ll take his words out of context, brand him an extremist, completely control the narrative (forget about the economy etc. let’s talk about contraception!), and Rick will go down hard.
