I was wondering what on Earth could he have tried to say that brainfarted into that? Negotiator is possible. Not to be an ass but who cares, It's Santorum. lol He still has a wonderful career of footbullets anyway.

Knowing Santorum I'm sticking to my belief that he was two letters away from the big n-word. We already know he's got a healthy hate of homosexuals and muslims, so this seems right up his alley. Always thought this interview gave a good insight into how his divisive mind works:
I don't know how a person could say, "I want Rick Santorum as my president.?
I just...him?
Yet they are out there...a few too many for my comfort.
I wish I could say it was a southern thing, or even PA since there's lots of rural area, but they've made it into NJ. Nothing is as weird as a guido f**k, living in the burbs, vehemently supporting Santorum
the most plausible explanation I've heard is that he may have stumbled over the putdown phrase "government negotiator-in-chief" as opposed to "commander in chief." I read he was talking about Obama groveling to the Russians (in his view) and I think the Repub field like to use this phrase on the O-man. Or maybe he just had a brain fart, he looked tired to me.
But in the world we live in, the instant presumption of racism is sadly predictable.

Having gone back and watched the whole speech, that definitely sounds like a plausible reason.
Still doesn't change my feelings for the man, but I'll give him a pass on this one.

You're right. I feel the same. Though it has to be clarified: he can take people of any color, black, white, yellow, brown, as long as they're good catholics and heterosexual.

OK, might Santorum have been about to say the n word? Yes, he might have. Personally I think that someone capable of that kind of world-ending slip-up probably wouldn't have got as far along in a political career as Santorum has.
But my point is that some people are behaving as though he said the n word. He didn't. He might have been about to say it, he might not have, it simply isn't clear. To make this a big issue and some sort of reason not to vote for Santorum makes you look like a clown who can't find ample reasons to not vote for Santorum based on actual facts.
This is why I don't go for the whole Santorum ass-juice routine. It makes it look like we've all got to use against him is poo jokes. If you want to go after Santorum, go after him, but please base it around the fact that he is a wildly unsophisticated and out of touch individual, not childish toilet humor or perhaps being almost about to possibly say the N word.

BUT on the other hand this is Mr "I don't want to make black peoples' lives better" and I don't for a second buy that "I was saying bleugh people" bullsh*t.

I can't believe the Republicans are sending Romney against Obama. Romney is a well-known politician - well known to be unelectable! I honestly believe at a 50-50 clip that the Republicans are sabotaging their campaign against Obama.
They want Obama in because they like things under Obama, where they can rule from the Legislature and blame things on Obama and Obama likes it because he can say he is forced to do things by the Republicans. I know there must be a large constituency for keeping this arrangement.
In any case, the Republicans didn't try very hard, they could have nominated everyone and created any sort of candidate. Romney is going to lose, barring a sudden catastrophe. Not that things would be any different either way.

Yup.
Just wondering, what brought this on? Unless I've missed something, things are just as they've been for a few days now. No primaries have been held in a few days, the "delegate counts" are the same.
But yes, Romney will have the nomination, he will lose, and even if he does win by chance... as you say nothing will be different.
I don't think it's a deliberate sabotage though, the GOP just sucks. Romney is honestly the best candidate they have (for them, I'm excluding Ron Paul who will obviously bring drastic change to the part that they dont want).
Santorum.....he's electable in 20 states Gingrich!? He's electable on Mars These guys are for many reasons, just terrible and would lose in miserable fashion to Obama. Mitt is the honest best candidate they have, it really shows how low the party has sunk.
Nice summary of where we are at the moment (fraud, delegate tampering, real delegate numbers, media deception):
Amazing.
And some want to claim there's no media bias against Paul, just us f**king nuts are living in this fantasy bias world and that he gets no coverage because it's understood "he's a loon and everyone hates him"
Besides the fact that admits he's not getting fair coverage, the fact that this is not really heard about, that videos like that aren't more known are proof enough. Even if it's a conspiracy of fools shouldn't it be reported on?
Of course both parties hate him! Right off the bat the Dems will not want him around...what a weak excuse.
Ugh...I can go on but I'm stopping myself here This is sad.
