Title: Santorum steps on his tongue (or other appendage)!
Post by: Timothy on March 23, 2012, 10:21:54 AM
I didn't like him much before but this pretty much seals the coffin on this guy!  Anyone would be a better choice than Obama!

yeah.   I took this as  him saying that if Romney got the nomination, he would be voting for Obama.

I hope that isn't what he truly intends to do, but if it isn't and it was just part of his campaign strategy, it still stinks.

He is handing out ammunition to be use against Romney should Romney get the nod in any case, so maybe he will be voting for BHO since this does support BHO's campaign.  It sure seems like his voting record leans that way already.

You know, I got flayed in the comments on the blog when I questioned Santorum..."Don't drink the Dem koolaid" was the general response. Since that, Santorum revealed that one of the biggest issues facing America — in addition to those darned women who use birth control so they can have sex without making babies which is apparently the only legitimate reason for having sex — is Internet porn. Then he implies, very strongly, that if we can't have His Magnificent Self as nominee, we should vote for Obama?

So let me get this straight...a big government Republican who espouses social views more suited to the Taliban than America in the 21st Century and who is willing to sell out America to the progressives if he can't have his way...

This man is repulsive, whether he shoots or not...

Thanks Michael, this is exactly how I've felt about him. He is a tool plain and simple. I can't stand his whiny attitude towards everything. "Romney's Super PAC is running mean adds against me.  :-\" "Romney is out spending me.  :'(" Well guess what... How much F*cking money do you think the Comrade-In-Chief will be spending?

Well put Michael!

Your journalism cred is a useful tool when a good point needs to be made!

He just took a dump in his mess kit as far as I'm concerned and I don't really like Romney but I will not vote for obama no matter how cold it gets in hell

For the record Santorum was the first guest on Beck's radio show this a.m. and Beck asked him straight out WTF? (without the F).

Santy's response was there is very little to contrast BHO and Romney.....Than jokes were had about Romney is certainly a moderate, but not a Marxist.

The distinction (paraphrasing), was not articulated clear enough by Santy, for the MSM and others to jump on anything Ric or any other candidate says....Just like the Romney Campaign chief referring to the "Etch-A-Sketch" campaign reset this Fall.

There is still a part of my being that would love to see Newt and BHO on stage. Newt is the only candidate that scares BHO, and why the "machine" will make sure he won't be the nominee.....

Looks like I'll hold my nose and vote, but only briefly, cause if Mittens wins the election, I will at least be dancing in the streets for one night, thankful it's NOT 4 more of BHO.

Hmmmmmm...so little difference between Romney and Obama? So, this one is a committed radical, a progressive "Trojan horse" who is quite actively and effectively running Saul Alinsky's brilliant plan for destabilizing a First World country, who has wrecked our foreign policy and emboldened a madman who is now only months away from a nuclear weapon and who is practicing low-angle missile launches off his ships as we speak (think bright lights over Kansas and EMP, baby!), who has turned against our closest ally, Israel, and doesn't seem all that troubled at the image of Tel Aviv reduced to glowing cinders as long as it gets rid of some of those darn pesky Jews,, who has fostered and is fostering today a racial divide in this country unprecedented since the dark days of Bull Conner, who lies with the casualness of a pole stripper telling you that yes, you are the only one, who has put in place an attorney general who orders the slaughter of foreign nationals, shrugs off the death of American heroes and then calls all the rest of us "cowards"...

...and the other guy is a millionaire who mostly worked for a living, has bad taste in cars and apparently very little personality.

Yeah, I can see how there's not much difference!

So to Santorum's seething obsession with women's private parts, we should also add the fact that he has the IQ of tepid water. Raise rock, let slug crawl back under...

Your 1000% spot on Michael, I meant not to defend, just to let his response be known. Even Ricky knows what he said was inarticulate and easily jumped on and taken out of context, and run with.

He acknowledged that. Just like the Etch A Sketch fodder....

See the 2002 video of Romney, I posted in the Politics thread, acknowledging on CNN that the only thing in common he has with the Republican Party, is he simply registered that way....Romney's words and no one else's....

We are certainly at a crossroads. None of the leading Republican Candidates, really gets me all excited. But the Saul Alinsky radical, currently in public housing, has to go.....

and for the record, I will vote for a pineapple, BoBo the Clown, or whoever the Republican Nominee is simply because the consequences are too great not to.

Take Care,

Tom W.

MB, you forgot a few things,
Appointing a tax cheat as Sec Treas.
The Libyan "bombing for Allah" campaign,
And a wife who spends like a drunk sailor on pay night.

I watched the video TW and I'm not defending his comments other than to say the Republican Party in MA in 2002 was an anemic, pathetic, lackluster and inept part of the GOP.

Maybe that's what he was referring too....Jane Swift, a Republican, was a puppet of a Governor.  She did nothing right during her tenure and thankfully, she didn't run for re-election!

I agree, Screw Rick  with his Zimmerman comments.  What little bit I was willing to support him is gone since I’m an apparent criminal if I defend myself in his eyes. 

That aside, I do take issue with yall’s  ridiculous reproductive Taliban rants.   None of the ‘pubs are stuck on that topic.  It’s the Left wing Media  (and some of you)  that are  stuck on it and keep bringing it up.  The coordinated assault  all started with former Clintonista  Stephanopoulos’ debate question which was no random act.  Romney put it very well (and I’m no Romney fan either) in his reply…paraphrased “No one is talking about contraception George.. leave contraception alone!..laughter from audience” .  I have 3 daughters, and of course want them all the have access to their BC.   But for crying out  loud, let them friggin pay for it them selves.  Who the heck does Fluke (a 30 year old activist) think she is, asking  that  employers and perhaps my Tax dollars if it’s a Govt agency be forced  to cover it.   If it’s that big a friggin deal ,  and your employer does not offer it on their plan, then get a job elsewhere or better yet just pay for it your dang  self.   With a wife and 3 daughters 2 of them being adult, I can assure you it’s not that damn expensive!    That’s all the entire field, including Santorum, are saying.  And I agree 100%.   I’m not a Santorum fan, but for issues TOTALLY  unrelated to this made up (except for those of you obsessed with it) reproductive issue.  You all sound like a bunch of PMSNBC personalities for crying out loud!
 I swear  MB, I love ya and can’t wait for your shows and podcast, but you seem to be the one that’s obsessed with this topic..   I hate to say it, but you sound just like my very liberal and gun hating father (he’s actually a member of NOW…no joking).  My parents hate  guns so much  they haven’t’ spoke to me since they learned I’m a practicing CCL holder (I’m a 2.0’er obviously).. they literally think I’m a freak for carrying a gun every day…my mother passed last Sept from Cancer , and would not speak  to me solely because of our disagreement on the 2nd amendment.  Tragic, but it was out of my hands…    They were/are that hard core!   Fwiw, They were also disappointed in me when I converted FROM atheism  when at  38 .. I’m 49 now..lol .  But they could look past that.. it was the guns that they would never forgive me for.   Disheartening having you sound so much like them on the contraception issue using stereo types...such as  using Taliban to describe  those of us that think contraception should not be mandated  (buy it your self like my family Mz Fluke!!!!) in the same manner Lib’s use Nazi to describe us right-of-center gun enthusiast.   Just a rant, as this  left wing media generated non-issue topic pisses me off…Love the shows and can’t wait for the next season of your Outdoor channel lineup.  Darn it, I’n a forum noob, and you force me to write this book on my 2nd or 3rd post…:)  I feel better now…lol

It's dumb to outlaw any medical procedure, and that is what an abortion is.
But the Leftists want it "on demand".
If you go to a Dr and demand a transplant or an amputation they would send you for a psych eval.
As for paying for the other forms of Birth control, why not ? we're already paying so the drones can have phones, cars , X boxes, wide screen tv's etc. etc.
And it's a damn sight cheaper than what we're paying them to raise the little bastards.

(there's a little bit of sarcasm there )

Santorum didn't give Team BHO any ammo they didn't already have.  If Mittens could prove that he'd held the same position on a given issue for two consecutive election seasons, this wouldn't be an issue.  To suggest that Ayatollah Santorum is somehow to blame for this is as ludicrous as saying that Bush I's loss in '92 was the result of a guy with zero electoral votes rather than his own anti-gun positions and his making a promise he had no control over.

Oh, and don't forget the other elections this Nov even though I seem to be alone in my prediction for a second term of BHO.  (Never underestimate 1) an incumbent, especially one who has the media in the tank for him, 2) the average voter, or 3) the ineptitude of the GOP.

If I'm paying for someone else's birth control I want it to be a one time procedure.
