GOP Primary in South

I just believe that we cannot continue to go with the candidate that is the "chosen" one by the party. It has happened several times in the past two decades including last election with McCain. McCain was the party pick and he got obliterated by Obama just as Dole got killed by Clinton as will, if nominated, Romney. Santorum has a much better chance to beat Obama on every level no matter what the polls say right now. Romney is so far from being conservative it is pathetic.

It is pathetic. And yes, I think Obama's reelection campaign manager is helping the 'electibility' hype along. They want to hand pick who they run against for sure. During the healthcare 'summit' that Obama aired right after getting elected, when McCain tried to speak, Obama cut him off and said very hatefully, 'the election is over'. His attitude makes me sick. Why do I say this. I remember a day when the one who won treated his opponents with respect. But I'm old and that was YEARS ago. lol

So, you think a brokered convention would be alright?

That can be a bad thing in politics, especially on a world stage. Sometimes you need to compromise.

I think Newt has shown some restraint during this campaign. But, yes it could be a bit of a bad thing on the world stage, but then, a whining whimpering apologist is also a bad thing on the world stage too, especially when it comes to dealing with bullies. I'm thinking of Newt more as a Reagan when he told Gorbachav to tear down the wall.

He's got a right to be angry, doesn't he? But he is a bit of an egotist. But that's ok, he's got the brains to back it up. I have a brother who acts a lot like Newt. He used to say, I'm not conceited, I'm just convinced. He knew what he knew and he didn't have a lot of patience with people who didn't know.

I think you are right, but I would so love to see Gingrich wipe the floor with Obama in a debate.

So would I, but Obama will never consent to those three-hour debates Newt would like to have with him.

People are hungry for a man who will stand up for what he believes in. And they realize that if you are a moral man, most likely you will do as you say you will do. You won't lie, you won't cheat, you won't be bought. And Santorum has some good ideas on economic recovery.

My state is one that has both, Santorum won the popular vote, Saturday is the caucus. We do need to make it more coordinated, but that would step on states rights. And we don't want to do THAT again, the last time it resulted in four years of war.

Why the intense dislike of Santorum?

lol, wow. He does not believe our REPUBLIC should be a theocracy. Do you even realize what that is? He is not anti anything. He is pro American. He believes that 9% of the people (gays) should not have special rights over and above what other Americans have. He believes in traditional marriage, which the majority of Americans do as well. I've heard him speak on this. He is not anti anyone. He wants to preserve traditonal marriage. He has spoken about his private beliefs about birth control, but he has said over and over that birth control is available now and should be available always for those who want to use it. The whole issue wasn't about that anyway. The White House attempted to make it about birth control, but it was about the government forcing the church to go against its teachings. The first ammendment to the Constitution, which is still the law of the land, states that Congress shall make NO LAW respecting the establishment of religion (choose one over the other)nor the free exercise thereof (make no law limiting the exercise of a persons beliefs). When obamacare was passed, this mandate (law forcing people to do something) was there in it. Its election year, Obama knows that the people, if they really understood what he was attempting here, would probably not support it. So he 'made' it about some manufactured 'war on women'. It is far from the truth and it upsets me that you actually believe it. I've listened to every debate, I've made myself aware of the candidates stand on the issues. NONE of them want to make America a theocracy. That is just ridiculous and it is what the progressive liberals try to scare the people with everytime a conservative runs for office.

Why?
