Rick was my guy last time around. Having said that ...
Rick. Just go away and live you life. Time to ride off into the sunset.
He’s still a no talent bum who sold out conservatives with Specter and then again with his 2006 failed campaign.
Santorum and Biden keep popping up...there must be an election coming. Is Pat Paulson dead? Maybe he and Nadar should sign up too.
Trump is “wet,” as they say in England, on immigration. He wants to throw the bums out then bring back the not yet felons from among them.
We all have our issues. IMO thats minor compared to a guy like Romney that profits from Abortion. But That didn’t stop millions from voting for him.
Riding up on top of that car was probably one of the dog’s life experience highlights, a canine E-Ticket. If he did it to Santorum, well ... not so much.
If Cruz, Trump or Walker where to be relegated to the consolation face off without anyone else being excluded from the main event then the consolation face off would be the main event.
A candidate who can’t deal with reality is not fit to be president. The reality is that Santorum is not catching fire. He talks big government and intervention on one issue and then flip flops to small government on another issue. And the flip flops are not well executed.
In contrast, Trumps rejection of logical consistency makes Trump look attractive. And most of the others with inconsistencies are more articulate than Santorum.
Santorum clearly did not learn from his past run and did not prepare himself for this run. If he had, he would have taken a class in Economics 101. He seems to know neither the Keynesian, Friedman, Hayek or any other appoach to economics. He just makes no sense on economics.
No Rick, the problem is you.
Look, in 2012 you were one of a few people who espoused decent views. I thought you looked pretty good, but you couldn’t win even in that environment.
Now we have several new people espousing decent values. You’re drowned out.
You’re not Richard Nixon level guy, that’s going to come back after defeat and win. You didn’t get there in the first place.
Look at Walker and Cruz’s numbers. Then look at your own. And then look at Trump’s, which tower above everyone’s.
You’re not a knight in shining armor this time around. You’re nothing but a distraction. You should withdraw from the race and talk 13 of your friends into joining you.
Make that 12 friends plus Rick...
Of course he’s right. It’s all completely arbitrary.
It would also be arbitrary if he was meeting their arbitrary criteria, although I seriously doubt you would hear him saying it if that were the case.
Of course, it’s just as arbitrary to say that there are only 17 “major” Republican candidates.
The money, the media, and their manipulators are deciding who you get to vote for. That’s the way our system now works, because We the People let them get away with it.
One strange thing about 2012 is that Santorum was as nasty as anyone in the debates towards the others....and all along, talk radio kept giving him credit for being above the fray. That’s bullsh-t. Check the tape. Rickie was a little nasty boi, more than anyone maybe.
the “nice guy” theme is wrong anyway....it’s his clean cut look and perpetual underdog status, but he’s a nasty little bitch....truth be known.
Yes indeed that’s an idea right there, then there would be no need to watch the anticlimactic second show.
practically every Democrat in the House and Senate is a lawyer......
>> that’s minor compared to a guy like Romney that profits from Abortion <<
I don’t consider the minimum wage minor. It’s among our most destructive economic policies, in that the teenage unemployment it has created over the past 60 years is one of the primary causes of social decay in black and hispanic ghettos.
When it comes to the comparison with Romney, it looks to me as if you’re saying that two wrongs make a right. The fact that Romney may have done bad things should not be your justification for excusing Santorum’s economic ignorance.
No, I just consider profiting from dead babies somewhat higher on the scale of wrong than others do and put it in perspective.
>> Trump’s rejection of logical consistency makes Trump look attractive <<
So post-modernism is now all the rage on FR?
[Polls Mean Nothing]
[”You know, I’ll be very happy on Tuesday when the standings come out and I’m in there,”..]
Why would he be happy if he’s ‘in there’ when it would be polls that put him there, as he said, polls mean nothing.
