This to me is a shame,because "Casper Milk Toast" won't beat "O",but Santorum might have because he was a least a true conservative......:mad:

What of Newt?
...realistically-now begins the test of whether or not the Republican Party can rally behind one person....or implode.
:munchin
Once again the Conservatives shoot themselves in the foot during the primaries.
The Conservatives split around 60% of the vote letting the moderate float to the top with his 40%.
A good number of consrevatives will shoot themselves in the other foot by voting third party or sitting out the general election.
This "strategy" will ensure O's reelection.
As a side note - I don't realy think the Republican "moderates" really care as long as they keep their Washington power base, get to "do lunch" and strut the halls.
There will be no slowdown in spending until the party train goes over the cliff.

Maybe not. There's not the same rift between mods, independents and Conservatives that was there in '08, IMO.
This time, they know what they're up against, and the situation is more serious. Maybe they'll say, "Well, we have to rally around this nincompoop in order to have time to groom (whoever)."

What, no support for Dr. Paul?? I'd take him over "Obamney" just due to MSM's dislike of the guy alone...

I am starting to smell 4 more years of the current POTUS
...and if we are lucky, a presidential decree will have outlawed the republican party by then, so we will be allowed to vote for uncle joe as POTUS in 2016
Of course, theres always that Mayan doomsday thing to look forward to

Don't sweat it, Brother. Too many real Americans still hanging around the Country.
Fuck 'em, and the Mayans, too. ;) We'll come out smelling like a rose, as usual.
What we need to concentrate on is training our kids in the right path, so that shit doesn't get this close to the fan, anymore.
Rick Santorum has never qualified as a conservative IMHO. I thought he was for sale 10 years ago and I think so today.

lol Among the last pollsters I'd put any stock in is ABC, Bro-think about it.
The "news" stations are also pulling out all the stops.
Go out into the street in Anytown and poll people yourself; apart from liberal havens, it's hard to find anybody who'll admit to voting for Obama, past or future.
It's the economy, Bro.

Yeah...and I could never find anyone who voted for Ted Kennedy either....
Teddy....for better or worse here we go. The American people will get what they "deserve". Or as I like to put it "Apparently things don't suck quite enough yet".
Yeah...and I could never find anyone who voted for Ted Kennedy either....
That's understandable-he didn't run for office in Maryland, did he? :D

I'm certain that in Maryland, you could still vote for him...
To clarify...
"During my residence in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts....I could never find anyone who voted for Ted Kennedy."
(Smartass :D)
Any chancee Romney might pick Santorum as his running mate? I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I doubt it - there are a number of good choices for Romney to pick from, and Rubio would strengthen his campaign.
His support of the Ryan budget proposals and Ryan's support of Romeny are a recent plus.
I predict the go ugly early name-calling campaigns will be fierce this summer with a vulnerable POTUS and a weak challenger in a serious election cycle.
And so it goes...

Rubio would be a very good choice. I could foresee Santorum getting a cabinet seat later on, especially in exchange for some campaigning help.
This isn't to far fitch at all.
Jeezzzz-uzzz-kee-ricet! Don't know who 'fitch' is, but there's nothing like a little hyperbolic fear mongering to start out the day with a bit of eye-rolling to accompany my morning coffee. Time to roll out the tin foil... :rolleyes:

Rubio would strengthen his campaign.

Not likely:
Marco Rubio, Mormon-Turned-Catholic
Marco Rubio has something in common with Mitt Romney: their religion.
The young tea party hero most likely on Mitt Romney’s short list of potential running mates was baptized into the Mormon church when he was 8 and “remained active in the faith for a number of years,” attending LDS youth groups and walking to church most Sundays because his mother didn’t drive, the Internet meme and news site BuzzFeed reports.
Rubio left Mormonism to become a Catholic “a few years later,” and he got his first Communion when he was 13, in 1984, the Florida senator’s spokesman told the website.
Full Story: ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/marco-rubio-mormon-turned-catholic/)
The MSM is dying to go after Mitt's Mormonism. It wouldn't matter is Rubio had only just talked to Mormon Missionaries on his porch, they will attack him for it.
Remember the "Mormon Mafia" that guarded Howard Hughes?

lol. I think I see your point there and yeah you got the right answer to this whole soon-to-be sordid affair with post #10, QP Dusty. Let's plant our gardens, gentlemen.

Rick who?
Never even heard of the guy until his short campaign. I was really hoping that my party could come up with a few stronger candidates.
God be with us come November.
