A whole lot of people here seem to bear a grudge towards Santorum's will to impose important segments of catholic social teaching on the American people. Want to put a stop to Big Brother politicans?

1. Santorum wants America to go catholic as a nation. Not all the way though: Still OK to nuke Iran and build an empire. On war he looks like no 2.

2. Romney is the frontman for big finance and the military-industrial complex. Not much moral issues on the agenda, but an Orwellian angle - constant government surveillance by the people and the suspension of civil liberties. Don't challenge the government and you will be OK.

3. Obama, having been raised outside the USA in part in muslim schools, has a more international agenda. Some would say it resembles French or Swedish social democracy, with increased social engineering based on ever increasing taxation. His Big Brother angle is based not on the barrel of a gun like with Romney, as much as it is on the economic incentive of a citizen who has to plead for entitlements from his politicans.

As an American you might want to keep the government out of your personal business and being able to make a buck or two for you and your family. And you might want to do that without having to be afraid of airliners crashing into buildings in your city.

Most former presidents have been lawyers or military men. Is it time for a medical doctor in the Oval Office?

Someone handed Santorum a skunk and told him to hold it...Rick asked "what about the smell"?...to which they replied,"just hold its little nose"....

Go Santorum Go!!!! Yippie!!

Just love how MSNBC is covering the Media Matters story

Now President Santorum will address the nation on the Iran
Nuclear Bomb

Thank you, as you
know Ahmenenadjab what kind of a
he!! of a name is that? It just goes to
show why Islam is a satanic religion! What I meant to say is…..

Did you know Santorum endorsed the Independent Arlen Spector for the Senate
over a fellow Republican. Arlen Spector then went on to become the 60^th
vote for Obama care. So I guess that means Santorum helped give us Obamacare.

Santorum is trying to show his sensitive side too. Just last
week he said Women shouldn't serve in combat because of emotional issues...
oops he meant to say mens emotional issues. Such a sensitive guy

Santorum voted for billions in earmarks as a Senator
including the Bridge to nowhere. Now he says he is against them. Sounds like a
flip flopper to me.

I guess the SUPERPACS and those that make the million dollar contributions to them will be choosing our president this year. Democracy died with the Supreme Court ruling that created these Superpacs. Lets face it. If you cant attract million dollar donations to your superpac, you are not going to win. The one percenters, big oil, banksters and large corporations will be choosing our politicians from now on.

I'm republican and and I'm voting for Obama.. better the devil I know than these guys.. Romney really.. that spoiled brat..no chance. Newt..no chance. face it we got nobody who stands a chance.. this party is as good as dead.. time 4 a change here.

Mich. is The state where cars are made. When the industry was in trouble, Obama bailed it out, Romney said the companies should be allowed to die. That won`t endear Romney to workers in the industry. I figure they will remember who bailed them out.

i find it so odd. Everyone understands that political ads lie, and by now even understands that a lot of money goes into crafting them - yet they still work. what the hell?

I like Bill Maher's idea per Santorum that "Life Begins at Erection". What Faderal and State laws could or should not be written to "socially engineer" this priciple? Does this strengthen the idea that there should be NO LAWS governing human behavior other than those which harm others?

Welcome to America. Our national slogan should be: "The Best Government That Money Can Buy." (Not the best government by any means, but the best that money can buy.)

Santorum is Obama conservative. He has never run anything. He is a career politician. Isn't this what we need to get away from.

It is really hard to imagine that there is anyone who doesn’t recognize the totally self-serving and irresponsible focus of the current Republican / Tea Party; maybe some can be blinded by their own biased emotions or, if one of the very few, by their insatiable “more” appetite but the corruption is really flagrantly obvious and actually even obnoxious. Just look at the people involved, their lack of character and integrity as well as their constantly self-serving actions, which literally leaves no doubt.

Start with the sociopathic GWBush who always boldly acted like a spoiled little boy with his gross dishonesty and no conscience. Then there was Dick Cheney who never concerned himself with having to be honest and always aggressively pushed his own agenda. You can even add Karl Rove, another sociopath, with his aggressive, manipulative and unconscionable strategies. All they ever did, as the worst presidency ever, was to focus on being “puppets” for “the few” (1%), the influential, powerful and extremely wealthy few who strongly supported them and “pulled their strings”, while just giving the majority (99%) only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge to rationalize and deceive. Throughout all of that and ever since the Republican / Tea Party has irresponsibly fully supported and continued that same mentality, as is currently demonstrated by the stubborn and arrogant actions of Boehner, McConnell, Cantor, Ryan and others, always blocking and faulting all efforts and withholding any bipartisan cooperation, their being focused only on their political ambitions above all else, no matter what the cost to the people. Then we have the likes of Norquist, Cheney, Rove and the SuperPacs, collecting huge sums from “the money” (who just seek to own and control the Party) and using those funds to first, control the politicians with intimidation and coercion, to assure unity behind “the money’s” interests, and second, to con the people and manipulate public opinion (past examples being the manipulation of the Evangelistic Christian, the Swift-boat propaganda and the funding and direction of the Tea Party, besides always supporting biased policies). Look at the “puppet” candidates they offer, like Palin, O’Donnell and then Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Gingrich and others, all chasing their self-aggrandizing interests, while being totally willing to serve “the money” for the support. No where in there is there any sincere interest in the people, the majority.

It has been said that the current Republican Party, being completely owned and controlled by “the money”, is actually incapable of ever responsibly governing. Over the last twelve years their arrogant actions, the propaganda they stubbornly offer and the resulting problems really do nothing but fully substantiate that cocky irresponsibility. The courts refused to do it and the politicians will never do it ... so the question is, can the voters do it? To ever see a return to the Grande Ole Party, once again with a real, sincere concern for the people instead of just insultingly taken them for granted as “pawns” in the game of politics, we need to get money out of politics. The only way that will ever happen is when the people refuse to be conned, when the voters reject the extensive subterfuge constantly being thrown at them, to just deny “the money” the opportunity to manipulate them and instead firmly reject “the money’s” “puppet” candidates - thereby rendering “the money” ineffective.

Their propaganda seeks to attribute the problems to the Democrats, who of course are not all “pure and holy”, by condemning “socialism”, the deficit, liberal policies, government spending and “big government” ... but, while there is real room for improvement, none of those things caused the problems we are suffering. All of our problems can be directly related to exploitation by the privileged few who gained advantage from a permissive, co-responsible government pushing excessive deregulation, lax oversight, non-enforcement as well as favorable policies that encouraged gross dishonesty, run away greed and self-indulgence - producing repeated crises in savings and loans, banks, dot.coms, the financial, investment and mortgage industries as well as corporate corruption (like Enron). It is simply like the “pyramid schemes”, where the few take advantage and gain substantially while the majority pay the price and loose significantly. As long as “conservatism” is used as a disguise to allow “the few” this favoritism, nothing will ever change, just more deceptive rhetoric will be offered to sway and control public opinion.

Should Romney lose in Michigan, he can as well kiss the GOP nomination for the presidency goodbye. The GOP has been hankering for someone else to nominate, and apparently it might not be Romney, that stoic, plastic, non-charismatic, secretive, moderate/liberal. Of course, Santorum, the heir apparent, is already getting "the treatment" from the liberal press - as they are itching to destroy anyone who would dare take on their darling Obama. But not to worry, with Obama's ONE BILLION dollar war chest - I suppose he can easily buy the election. Pathetic!

Mitt wanted to let the auto industry go bankrupt. Now it's booming. And he's against labor. Not a chance. Santorum could not have done this on his own. MITT IN 2011!

Has anyone else noticed that Santorum looks like he was separated at birth from his comedian brother Jerry Seinfeld? When you watch him speak you half expect him to tell a joke or suddenly blut out "But I don't WANT to be a PIRATE!!"

i wonder if santorum were to be elected, if he would eschew secret service protection. it would contribute to lowering government spending and show in a concrete fashion that he truly believes his religious rhetoric. i doubt he will, though. cuz he's a coward and a bully.

Well here we go toe to toe Rick vs. Mitt!!! Isn't there a debate in like a week??!!! That's when we'll see the true battle play out.

Santorum is doing well in Michigan simply because Romney shot himself in the head. I'm sure at the time Romney never imagined that he would need to be liked in a state that is heavily into the auto industry. But, it is to late for that now. The only option for the people of Michigan at this point is to look at the 3 other circus clowns and try to pick the one that nausiates them the least. Sadly, I hear a lot of retching coming from the north these days.

Go, Ricky, go!

Wall Street and the Republican elite chose Romney to deliver them the White House. He may be a poor investment, but he is all they have. They do not intend for him to lose. Santorum is about to find out things about himself that never happened.

Hello Everyone! Still reading you guys everyday and your'e doing a great job. I've chosen

not to post here, in the previous few months, for what I believe are principled reasons. I will

elaborate sometime in the near future, but in the meantime, please keep up the phenomenal

work of keeping the right wingers on the back of their heels. WE WILL WIN!
