WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santorum is endorsing his one-time bitter rival Mitt Romney in a late-night e-mail to his supporters.

Santorum on Monday urged his supporters to join him in working with the effective Republican nominee to deny President Barack Obama a second term.

I’m not surprised.

What part of ABO do you not grasp?

"ABO"...an obvious euphemism for...
...(potential) Romney voters...
...plus those who find "safe haven" under this euphemistic umbrella...like...
...Romney supporters (subtle Romney vocalists)
...and Rombots (public advocates & campaigners for Romney)

If they were truly "ABO" -- they wouldn't mind...
...voting for Ron Paul in the primaries...
...voting for Ron Paul third-party...
...voting for Virgil Goode (Constitution) party...
...voting for Tom Hoefling (FREEPER running for POTUS)...

After, third-party voters are "ABO" voters, too right!

I voted for RP in the NYS primary.

I think the idea is to get ABO in office, which is generally the reason why you vote for a candidate. True, ABO would apply to candidates from, for example, the Constitution Party, but the CP has been consistent around 0.10% percent of the vote, so I don’t think voting that way would like result in ABO in office.

Santorum supporters weren’t really no mitt, they would loudly no NEWT! So now their votes go to mitt, nothing unexpected here, they were told but didn’t want to listen even though everything pointed to it. They won’t admit they and America were duped.

Welcome (back?)P to FR.

Is you a Moby??!!!

Punk the prez? - Moby’s anti-Bush tricks

One of Sen. John Kerry's celebrity supporters is ready to pull out all the stops to get him elected. Republicans are shrieking over a suggestion by rocker Moby that Democrats spread gossip about President Bush on the Internet. “No one’s talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day,” Moby tells us. “It's a lot easier than you think and it doesn't cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes.”

Moby suggests that it's possible to seed doubt among Bush's far-right supporters on the Web.

“You target his natural constituencies,” says the Grammy-nominated techno-wizard. “For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.

“Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, ‘What's all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?’”

Moby didn't claim that he believed the abortion story.

Well if the Senate gets more conservatives, then at least, with the House, they can put MItt’s feet to the fire.

I’ve been watching politics since Nixon was in office. I can count on one hand the number of times that a GOP congress didn’t cave when the GOP President wanted to do something leftwing. If we could get a conservative majority not just a GOP majority, I’d agree with you. Meanwhile, This election is what it is. Obama is so bad that I can understand wanting him out at any cost. I just think we conservatives need to go in with both eyes wide open, not pretending that Mitt isn’t also the enemy.

“Very sad that the GOP-e in their infinite RINO wisdom didn’t think about that earlier.

America needs to hear it from Mitt.

Romney is avoiding, he doesn’t want to explain Mormonism, what crazy beliefs. Liberals and even conservatives, admit
it, you help him by avoiding, saying...

Faith is not important in choosing our country’s leader, do not discuss it

“morality” is called social issues instead of moral issues

the “contraception mandate” is about the loss of freedom and not the fact “contraception” is an intrinsic evil

yeah, don’t speak of it. Romney is home free...

[ohioWfan]

Yep. There's a lot of that going on these days, methinks.

FRegards to you, too, unkus!

[stpio]

Will somebody please put up the video where Romney proudly states he is for abortion.

There are several, depends on the year and the people he is
trying to sell.

What’s he selling now? I hear...Romneycare has no abortion
in it and Mitt is now for life.

His mother must be turning over in her grave (not really).

Jesus Mercy,

[unkus]

A lot of deception, instigation, etc.

[Colofornian]

True, ABO would apply to candidates from, for example, the Constitution Party, but the CP has been consistent around 0.10% percent of the vote, so I don’t think voting that way would like result in ABO in office.

And, if, come late October, the polling for Romney is below 40% at that time, will we hear from you a concession of the same anticipated reality? [Awaiting the MSM "vet" onslaught of Romney]

'Cause you see...if you're a football team...and on the schedule the ultimate "league champ" beats somebody 42-39...and beats another foe 42-2...doesn't matter that the one team scored 39 vs. the mere "safety" of the other team...they're both "also-rans"...both "losers"...

Besides...if you're going to go "utilitarian" on me & speak of "practicalities," then you need to consider another utilitarian practicality:

If you Tally ALL FREEPER votes -- and if they were ALL Romney -- most of them, if not ALL, won't matter in the end outcome.

Why?

(a) Liberal states?...not enough (r) votes...Obama will win anyway [Reality here? Absolutely ZERO reason to not vote third-party considering we have two pro-abort big-govt socialist healthcare libs running]
(b) Conservative (non-swing) states? Take away ALL the FREEPER votes...Romney wins, anyway...[might as well save searing your conscience]
(c) Genuine Swing states? These are the only "true" ABO "utilitarian" voters...and even then...I'm talking "swing states" as of late Oct/early Nov (based upon polls)...NOT genericized MSM designated "swing states" NOW...

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Well said. Thanks!

[Nifster]

What I was referring to is the desire of Jim (and many) to call a truce and get about the business of electing all the conservatives we can to the House and Senate.

The name calling ,the endless lamenting, all of it does us no good. If we end up tearing us apart what has been accomplished? Let’s get on with what we can do and cut the crap on the rest

We lost the nomination in the primaries because conservatives were squabbling and swearing that they would never vote for x or y or z. Well the GOP-E got their candidate because we could not see beyond our nose to unite behind one alternative. Great. It did nothing for us.

Now we must hunker down to the work in front of us. That is the message I read from Jim. Perhaps you didn’t

Do you really have to make this thread an anti-LDS thing?

Hey, Jeff. Harry Reid, a Mormon in good standing with the church, said several years ago while speaking to a large BYU student body also well-attended @ the professorial/admin level:
"I am a Democrat because I am a Mormon, not in spite of it."
Source: Reid Gets Warm Reception at BYU

If the "religio-political" combo dimension is true for Harry Reid, then, hey, why not Mitt Romney as well?

As to religion, if you must make it about that, for those who want to know what a long time convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes...
