Okay. But that is really not too bad a thing to say. I mean, the first thing I noticed about Santorum when he took the podium, was how much he was sweating. And I thought to myself, I hope the AC is on, because I was worried about Newt, he is a little :) overweight, you know. So I don't think that's really ugly or anything... because he did look bad with the sweating..
but you are right, there are some bad things said about Santorum here, and I don't think I have said them, but I may have said something you would find offensive.
You know, when I first started defending and posting for Newt here, I actually cried a few times because of mean things people said to me, mostly in my mailbox, but I don't do that much anymore. And I am trying to not get too personal anymore, but I do have my nights when I can't stand the sight or the thought of Santorum, and I am sure you feel that way about Newt sometimes... I still think Free Republic has the most wonderful and informed posters of anywhere I've ever been. I mean, here's the thing, when I see a link by a freeper recommending something, like alternatives to carbonite, just to name the most recent, I totally trust them and go there. I don't do that many places, so I think this is a true oasis here, truly. And I got so overwhelmed with love the other day I posted a really stupid post saying how much I loved everybody on Free Republic, everybody probably thought I was drunk, but I wasn't.
“And I got so overwhelmed with love the other day I posted a really stupid post saying how much I loved everybody on Free Republic, ..”
I believe you do love us, and you seem like a REALLY nice person.
Actually I like Newt, and he’s my 2nd choice, but I LOVE Santorum, because he is a really good man, and get things DONE.
For example:
“On abortion, he is one of many senators who vote pro-life. The difference is that he is personally responsible for making sure a lot of these votes occur in the first place: He was an architect of the effort to ban partial-birth abortion, a strategy that energized the pro-life movement and allowed it to go on the political offensive.”

Rick Santorum gets things done, because he is a FIGHTER!!!!
Funny, I find myself having to stop myself from saying really, really mean things I want to say out of respect for Jim’s rules. Otherwise, I can be quite...expressive.
No, I don’t have moments when I hate Newt. I’d rather have Sarah Palin, but I’ve settled that Newt is the adult who can handle Obama in any situation handily. And he’s said things that I like. Santorum was my senator here. He did not impress me. Especially with his campaigning ability. He was weak.
That was really nice of you to admit and say. I feel bad when newt supporters are insulted too. Both Santorum and newt are strong conservatives. They both have glaring faults. But there are no other conservatives in the race. We are lucky to have them both still in it. Imagine if we only had Romney and Paul, like last time - Romney and McCain. We had to focus on the veep.
May the best man win. I’m ok either way though I have my strong preference. let’s realize we all do.
