And all the reactions have been, not so good. He is supposed to be this high and mighty Christian but comes across as a whiny, angry hypocrite. And most of the evaluations and polls also see him that way. It's his own fault. He is just not a very viable candidate.
He has struck me as petulant from day one.
No, he doesn’t come across as an “angry, whiny hypocrite” anymore than either Obama who blames the middle-eastern mess or the problems of Greece for the state of the economy or what Gingrich says and does. We all saw how Gingrich complained about being targeted by Romney in Florida that he claimed was untrue and being outspent, on how he was left like a deer caught in the headlights in the pre-Florida debate complaining that Romney was asserting a bunch of lies against him that caught him flat-footed, or his petty attacks on Bain Capital that had Rush explode on his show, and how he lost his cool and temper and some say his mind during debates when asked by John King of CNN to comment about his ex-wife’s TV interniew which suggested his desire for an “open marriage.” Santorum’s BS outburst was mild compared to what GWB had called a NY Times reporter as a “big-time Ass Ho*e.” The NY Times deserved what it got and Sarah Palin applauded Santorum for his comments.
This whiny hyocrite meme is the stuff you’d expect to see on HuffPo or Move.On org websites.
Santorum has been outspent in some cases as much as 20 to 1 and yet in deep blue states Romney leads Santorum by thin single digit margins and nearly lost to Santorum in the former’s home state of MI (lost by 3 points aided and abetted by Gingrich with Adelson’s funds funneling off 7% of the votes) or worse in MI where Romney beat Santorm by a wafer-thin margin of under 1% while here again Gingrich whose campaign is nothing short of quixotic and is in disarray siphoned of a paltry 14% of the vote.
The absurdity of it all is that he took his suporters for quite a phony ride causing havoc to Santorum and his erstwhile followers unable to face up to reality, now face the humiliating irony of having Gingrich’s casino mogul sugar daddy whose super-pac bankrolled him upto the point of insuring Romney wins in MI, OH,and IL, is now embracing Romney. What fools!
Santorum needs the credit he’s gotten on a shoestring budget and scoring as many as 11 state wins so far.
Go Santorum Go!
