I had a feeling that Santorum would make a good showing in Iowa.

Quoted: Does it really matter? Iowa has lost all predictive credibility at this point. Yes it matters because we need someone who can beat obama––-now. Santorum––-while not flashy or charismatic––––can do that and, unlike romney, gingrich, or even paul, he's not a RINO and he does try to live what he believes. I may not have always agreed with him on every issue but I'd rather have him at the helm in the White House than I would obama, gingrich, romney or paul. |

santorum won't win because there are too many people afraid of putting another outspoken Christian into office. That this is a fact should help explain why the commies over the past few decades were so intent on destroying religion, inventing "freedom from religion" etc. Their domination of the education system and media is paying off now.

I pray to the Good Lord above that he finishes 2nd in Iowa, and surges enough to get 1st or second in the next couple. Iowa hasn't picked a winner in a while, so I'm fine with that scenario. If he gets through these first few strong, he can win S.C., and a lot of states in the Super Tuesday polls. All we need is a good candidate that has little to no skeletons, has a good record, and doesn't shoot himself in the foot. We have that in Santorum. Newt is toast now I think primary wise, Paul isn't going anywhere, and Romney for the life of him can't add to his stats because he's a Democrat and can't get out the base. Perry just makes too many mistakes right now. Maybe in the next election cycle he'll have learned and will be more polished.
I don't think Santorum can be touched with negative adds by Romney, and I think Romney already looks like an asshole to many people on the right for the millions he spent on negatives already. I wouldn't doubt that Romney was behind the Cain accusers. He just looks and acts like a spoiled rich kid grade a asshole that will destroy anybody that gets in his way right or wrong. That's sleazeball and I don't like it, but I'd take the sleazeball over the Marxist. You can bet on Old Joe making a few more big gaffs in the coming weeks and months like the Taliban one too. He's setting himself up to take the fall to open up the ticket for Hillary. He almost said as much last election if you remember.He said Hillary would make a better Vice President then when it looked like trouble. I hope Santorum can pull it off. |

That this is a fact should help explain why the commies over the past few decades were so intent on destroying religion, inventing "freedom from religion" etc. Their domination of the education system and media is paying off now. this. I was amazed at the viterol in the comments on the drudge article about tebow being sued. There were many that accused him of being a right wing hatemonger, in comments full of hate. So yeah, anyone is qualified for an office but Christians it would seem. You can be anything but that. I don't care one whit about anyones beliefs, but it seems the only ones that think obamacare and the other atrocities need overturning are branded with the label of Christian and "unelectable" . The ones that are "electable" want to "keep the good parts". I don't know how I will feel later but I've stopped giving a shit. What differance does it make if obama is voted out of office only to be replaced by someone to uphold his policies. Mittens can't even bring himself to call him a socialist. So lets say a republican manages to get into office. If bills and policies are not overturned then the country does not recover. then who gets blamed? The republican in office that's who. Because as bad as it is now it's only going to get worse when obamacare kicks in. Hell, the fact that we elected him to begin with speaks volumes about the country. |

Quoted: I'd vote for Huckabee over Santorum, any day and twice on Sunday. As would I, and I have no love for either one. I really hate Santorum. The fact that an Atheist would willingly vote for an honest to God preacher over Santorum, should say something.

The fact that an Atheist would willingly vote for an honest to God preacher over Santorum, should say something. I'm surprised anyone in the Republican Party is taking him seriously as a candidate. He has no money, no organization, no base support. The only thing he is running on is his reputation with social conservatives, which, as the above two comments illustrate, probably alienates more voters than it gains for him. He's the latest "Not Romney" candidate. Otherwise he would barely be moving the needle. Running for president is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. Romney is ahead not because of some conspiracy by the party leadership but because after he lost in 2008 he worked to set up state organizations and do the fundraising necessary to get positioned for the campaign. Ron Paul is also a more serious candidate this time around because he did much of the same things after 2008. Gingrich, Bachmann, Santorum, Perry, and Huntsman all got started waaay too late to make any difference. |

Obviously, a Democrat-controlled Senate screening Democrat-picked nominees will be no different than if Romney is picking the nominees. Are you kidding me? Oh, and, newsflash: the Senate has scrapped the "60 votes needed to block a filibuster" rule, so they can approve a nominee with a simple majority, now. http://s5.postimage.org/4mdrh49yd/scotus2.jpg __________________________________________________________________ Cross-platform gun database/electronic bound book (v1.2) (and the original thread). «nolite confidere in principibus, in filiis hominum quibus non est salus» I don't put Dubya in the same category as either romney or gingrich so your analogy fails in my opinion. IMO, bush was a bit more conservative than either gingrich or romney and evidence of this can be found in the fact that he didn't push for a renewal of the assault weapons ban when he was given ample opportunity to do so. |
