You prefer the religious fanaticism of BO over this Santorum's religious fanaticism?! We have youtube of Obama talking about why he must "redistribute" our wealth. He actually believes that HIS salvation is dependent upon OURS, as he speaks of the collective salvation of our country!!!

Ya can't GET more religiously fanatical than THIS....a la obama.

Have you listend to the youtube I am referring to, yet? I can post it for you if not.

Santorum lost his last Senate campaign by a whopping 18 points for a reason.

By all rights, Santorum should no more be considered a serious GOP presidential candidate than Alan Keyes.

Santorum is a right wing statist, btw, not a conservative. He loves big government and hates state's rights.

Keyes is more articulate than Santorum, but you are right in that they are both religious zealots. With Cain out of the race, I am left with only Gingrich, and I only agree with his positions 60% to 70% of the time, and he has no executive experience. Like Obama, Gingrich has never held a real job. Romney and Perry are desperately trying to pretend they are not liberal Democrats, and Ron Paul is a dangerous lunatic.

You just want to even out the scales of extremism after voting in your job killing, promise breaking, 57 state, lead from behind, bowing to Iran, "look it's Bush with a tan", hope and change liar. Two extremists somehow make it all right for you?

Anything negative to do with Obama, his supporters do not want to see.
Make a mold of Obama, he will not be perfect as some claim.
What gets my gripe his he can do things others have done, and have gotten flack over, but because he is Obama, he gets a free pass. Yep some of my friends have seen it, and thought he was just crazy.

His past friendships were very crirtical, the people he hung out with, and what he believed. A leopard does not shed his spots that easily!

See, that's the brilliance behind this "we want anyone but Romney" game the Dems are playing. They REALLY would prefer Romney. It's a win win for them if it comes down to Mitt and O, because either way they'll get a liberal president - who cares which letter follows his name. If Romney is the GOP selection it'll be a bigger scam than Obama making... a promise.

I think it's time to post a picture (again) of Bush kissing (and holding hands with) the Saudi prince. LOL

Careful what you wish for.

Remember, Obummer is still unelectable.

I must confess that I know little about Santorum, but based solely on the mindless hate he receives from the extreme left, it's clear that he must be a solid conservative with the ability to close the deal with the American people.
