 Yeah, Santorum is finished.  His absurd social conservatism will disgust any normal person. I predict that the media will help Huntsman get a surge upward in New Hampshire, but ultimately, the fight is now between Paul and Mitty.

It's every patriotic American's duty to help destroy Rick Santorum asap so I encourage everybody to get out and do their part.


Time always wins.

Trust me, if Sanitarium is still in it when the primary comes down to Georgia I will have to vote Paul.

By the way, what do you guys think of this?:
  Link  

On December 28, 2011, the GOP of Virginia sought and obtained the right from the Virginia State
Board of Elections to require voters to sign a loyalty oath in order to participate in the state’s primary
on March 6. Basically, Virginia voters–who have open primaries–meaning you do not have to be of
a particular party to vote in the primary–will be required to sign a loyalty oath if they wish to cast a ballot.
 
Loyalty Oaths and Virginia. There’s a history here. Yes, the GOP of the great state of Virginia is
once again putting forth a call for voters that vote in the March 6th primary to sign a Loyalty Oath;
but this isn’t the first time. According to the Washington Whore Post:

This is not the first cycle in which state Republicans have sought to impose such a pledge. In 2000,
 the GOP made voters in its primary promise not to participate in the primaries of any other party,
 after state election officials rejected the party’s request to disseminate a form asking voters to
 pledge support for “all of the Republican Party’s nominees in the next election.”
 
Virginia Republicans initially planned to include a loyalty pledge in the 2008 presidential primary,
but then decided to scrap the idea amid fears by some in the party that the requirement might
alienate some independent voters from the GOP cause.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

That's extremely stupid, but the "pledge" cannot really be legally binding, so anyone can break it. Although, I assume this is mostly aimed at Ron Paul voters who obviously aren't huge fans of the other candidates.

After watching some discussions and debates I missed: Santorum is such a Christo-fascist it sickens me.

"I believe in the tenth amendment, but marriage is so important that we need to have the federal government define it."

And I was sitting here just thinking about how the liberals would say something like, "I believe in the tenth amendment, but childhood obesity is so important that we need a Constitutional ban on candy and Happy Meals."

Whenever someone says "I believe in the X Amendment, but," one must begin to wonder.

Find me a liberal saying something like that. Wacko

By the way I'm watching Rachel Maddow and her take on why Santorum is doing so well is that he hasn't really been vetted.

I can't buy that at all.  Herman Cain wasn't vetted.  Santorum was a US Senator for years - his radical social conservatism has been well known or should have been by the GOP, and they should also know he got absolutely trounced in 2006 when he was up for re-election.  I will allow that being from Pennsylvania maybe I know more than Americans elsewhere.

I guess to put a finer point on it, he hasn't had his 15 minutes of fame in this particular contest yet.  You're absolutely right about Cain though.  I'm from Georgia and this was the first I ever heard about him.  I've never even eaten a Godfather's pizza.  Tongue  Gingrich I know far too well.  He's a fat head physically and intellectually and egotistically. LOL

A pledge is not even remotely similar to an oath, but that's not a catchy headline I guess...

He's back to selling books if he wasn't just up to that all along.  Gingrich will follow suit and he's got more crap to sell.

Current polling for New Hampstershire has Santorum sinking back down to the bottom.

But if South Carolina gets more drop outs, why should three states have that much say?  I do think Paul will soldier on after that one.

And oh:
Other 117 0.1%
Herman Cain 58 0.0%
LOL

WOW!

Last night in Iowa, Santorum and Romney ended up 6 votes apart.

..back in my blue period, I would've done a Marie Osmond joke here.



BTW, did you see Rick Perry's hot daughter, Sydney last night?



Why did he keep her hidden all this time?

Big mistake, Rick, but then, you're famous for big mistakes now.

                       ^That's not me BTW.

On a final note about Iowa, I think some of this photo is real:



What the candidates spent per vote in Iowa

campaign financeDerek Thompson breaks down BuzzFeed’s data on political spending in Iowa to determine how much each candidate and their supporters paid per vote in the Iowa caucuses.

The breakdown: Rick Perry spent far more than any other candidate with $478.40 per vote, followed by Mitt Romney at $154.90, Ron Paul at $103.30, Newt Gingrich at $89.84, Rick Santorum at just $20.50, and Michele Bachmann at $3.95.

Santorum has frequently stated that he does not believe a "right to privacy" exists under the Constitution, even within marriage; he has been especially critical of the Supreme Court decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which held that the Constitution guaranteed the aforementioned right, and on that basis, overturned a law prohibiting the sale and use ofcontraceptives.[80] He has described contraception as "a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."[

Nobody knows a thing about him outside of PA or the beltway.  The media managed to herd the majority of Iowa's evangelical sheep to him and now he's a national candidate?  Shamelessly manipulative coverage got him here and now they are using it to try to keep him around.

This blog post over at dailypaul, while a bit rough-around-the-edges, pretty accurately describes what is going on within the GOP today:

It does not matter. I have lived around the US for a while, being born when Ike was the Prez. They are all corrupt scum, JFK to LBJ to Nixon and beyond. Some of them die, and then lie in state in the Rotunda, when it would be better that they be stuffed into a large yard-trash waste bag and thrown in the nearest landfill, to be consumed by their peers. We know their peers: the rats who inhabit the gutters, the seagulls who fly over the landfills, and the larger birds of prey who hang out over the Mojave Desert. How long, Lord.


Can you tell me where we're headin'?
