1) Normal supporters who believed in him and once they saw who he really was or that he could not win went on to support another candidate.
2) Non-legit Sanotorum supporters who were really Romney supporters but were afraid to admit it. (they feared getting zotted from some of the conservative forums.
3) Today's Akin supports. Many in this group have an ego about the same size. An ego so big that they are willing to allow Obama's infanticide to become law of the land to teach the GOPe a lesson. Their candidate (Akin) was funded and still supported by the pro-abortortionist democrats. This group is so angry with the GOPe for Santorum's loss that they have the goal of pushing for an Obama victory so that they can say to the GOPe: "we told you so".
*to this day the third group (who supports Akin today) refuses to accept the fact that Santorum was in the bag for their enemy Mitt Romney all along.
**today they refuse to accept that Akin is supported by the very people they supposedly oppose.
Definition of insanity, please?
Note: Unfortunately they (group 3) have been outed and pegged for who they really are. And unfortunately we can no longer blame the RINOs for any defeat in 2012. This group #3 now owns that pending defeat. They make us conservatives look bad.
Pro-abortion, homo troll
Get off my computer screen
Are you having fun trolling? I sure hope so, because I’m having fun laughing at you.
The short and simple answer is YES, the party dodged a Huge Bullet by not having Santorum as the nominee. No matter how much that causes some folks here to scream bloody murder its the truth.
Santorum didn’t lose his Senate seat by 17 points for no reason. Just go youtube the guy you can find inflamatory statement after inflamatory statement coming out of his mouth. Yes, when taken in full oontext most are not that bad, but its not the full context that gets played, its the inflamatory sound bite that gets played over and over 24/7 in attack ads etc.
We may have dodged a bullet in the primary but the one named Mitt Romney hit us square in the chest.
The risk of a “Macaca/Legitimate rape” moment is inversely proportional to the conservative principles of the candidate.
Obama would likely be up +10 nationally against Santorum, or Gingrich, right now.
Since Santorum wasn’t really a conservative (other than the fact he wanted to ban all methods of birth control), I’d say we dodged a lot of bullets when he lost.
SHARIA-ISTS UNLOAD.. 3 ... 2... 1
Romney wasn’t my first choice, either.
Good point.
do you think Romney has never said or will say or do anything stupid? will you want to dump him when he does?
someone who misspeaks and corrects themselves quickly is “ilk” now?
you don’t think Romney ever did that?
has he ever denounced RomneyCare?
I ain’t voting for R and his ilk &R in November
I luv when the semi-literate attempt to express themselves!
To all of you who agreed with me; “THANKS”. To all of you that I pissed off: Deal with it. Go on and vote for Virgil Goode or some other “loser”. We who are more concerned about getting the Kenyan, Marxist Muslim out of the White House than we are “sending a message” will win without you.
ROFLMAO!!!
Wow did you save up a bit-o snark just for this occasion? As a NOOBEE & pistol packer, you must just love the way your bud Mitt will not hesitate to embargo your pistolies?
And just who is "we"???
Since 2012-05-12
Yeah. We dodged a bullet. We got Romney who might very well lose this election. Some dodge.
As others have already said, I’d prefer that ticket over R&R, really.
After all, if we want to discuss “alternate realities” as soon as we do, all bets are off. That is, in an alternate universe, there is no guarantee (not even close) that Akin would say the exact same thing.
Also, with Akin as Santorum’s Veep, Santorum’s would be able to teach him the best way to answer that “abortion in the case of rape” question. After all, Santorum’s pretty much knocked that one out of the park when asked the exact same thing.
