Santorum should give Romney all his delegates and drop out of the race. He cannot beat Obozo. Not sure if Gingrich can either. Romney has the best chance to beat Obozo and SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM DISASTER. The time is NOW to put a BUSINESSMAN, with a proven record of successful accomplishment in the White House. Get the "on the job training" president we have now OUT OF THERE!
What a maroon you are!!!
Allan,,,, Guess what?
Obama is the only one in the November election that has the experience! --- He's been the President for 3 years
OBAMA-BIDEN 2012 --- TAKING AMERICA FORWARD
Jim,
And a horrible one at that. Worst President in history. Hell, he may even be worse than Carter. He was not qualified to be President and it shows. Romney or Gingrich are infinitely more qualified to be President. For one, they know how to BALANCE A BUDGET, they both know how to lead, and they both won't apologize for America, and bow to a Saudi king. Obama proposes a budget and its so bad that ALL Senators voted against it. Harry Reid is so embarrassed by the most recent one he doesn't even want to bring it up for a vote. Sad sad sad. Obama is a joke. Get a clue.
Jim,
Oh, and let me guess... You are black, correct? Or, you are in a union, which have been driving jobs out of America for decades.
Racism already Alan? That shows me you are in a total panic... I'm a white dude
It's your own conservatives who are holding up job creation ---- Compare republican & democrat administrations over the years you will find it is the democrats who actually create more jobs

hah! so mittens has to share 50% of his home state's delegates with some guy on record as rejecting the separation of church and state. Their convention is going to pure hilarity.
The dems are hoping for Ayatollah Sanitarium.
"Bail Out Romney" or "Ayatollah Sanitarium" .... Bring em on!

Only 2 winners will come out of Super Tuesday
OBAMA-BIDEN 2012 --- TAKING AMERICA FORWARD
It's a little disheartening this year to see that a level of corruption is snaking it's way into the republican party primary election. First with the Iowa vote, that was clearly announced when CNN interviewed 2 of the precinct people there....and then after delays blamed on the very precincts the had been on the air the vote was obviously changed.... and now with this delegate manipulation in Michigan. I hope that our 2 powerful political parties are paying close attention to the civil unrest that is gripping the rest of the world due to corruption.... They should be paying VERY close attention because it's not only outside the US that this ripple is taking place and it won't take much to set this off right here in their own front yard. All it would take is a little social media organizing (and hopefully not guillotines!) I have to say as a registered republican I am appalled at the obvious manipulation! The question is who is doing the manupulating and why????? The question bears asking...
Get rid of everyone starting with Eric Cantor who watered down the only bill to stop congressional Insider Trading
Get rid of republicans who are attaching their dumb ass contraception amendment to the Transportation Bill
The Transportation Bill gives American Families "JOBS" & conservatives would rather tie up the legislation for "contraception"
So much for republican "principles" on clean bills, huh?
You might think about the manipulation being done by republicans --- All that rage against the Wall Street Bail Out?
Romney likes the Wall Street Bail Out... Republicans promise to eliminate every regulation & Dodd-Frank that stops tax payer bail outs -------------- You figure out who's been manipulating who!
Nope, in this one it's the evangelicals.....they hate the Mormons, any Mormon....and in fact, if they could they would round them all up and throw them in an arena with some lions and pretend not to smile while they are watching it all! (Yes, those Christians hate those other Christians that much, just ask'em) The fact that Santorum was highly favored by the evangelicals in Michigan and Romney was actually favored by the Catholics in Michigan is interesting as Santorum is a Catholic but a lot of the Catholics think he is too Evangelical. This primary race is quickly shaping up to be one of religious intolerance, just watch as it unfolds....the evans true colors are coming out!
Shows you how corrupt they are doesn't it? Money comes before faith
Tajen. Follow the money. Didn't the Koch Bros. pledge $100 million to defeat Obama? Big money has only one other endless lust: Big Power. Why, in this country do we have such difficulty absorbing and believing this? Hasn't the hapless, mindless Teaparty been funded by these same characters? Does it occur to you how much we are led to believe what we want to believe even though most of the dots don't connect. Ask Kerry how W became a war hero and he became a sham in their shameless attack on his military record. When confusion reigns we don't respond in a logical fashion. We become divided and distrustful. Who can accomplish this more completely than those who control information? Vote against the big money. They've been disrespecting & mocking this process for decades. Corporations are NOT people.
Has anyone ever noticed that msnbc doesn't let people comment of some political articles while they let you do so on others?
not all articles have comments in multiple sections of msnbc. so what?
Even MSNBC can only handle so much right-left banter.
Yes I have noticed. It bothers me because sometimes it's issues I think are important and we should discuss, like the Keystone XL pipeline. They had two articles here today and yesterday where they discussed how the pipeline would actually make gas prices in the mid-west go up. Also how the jobs numbers were skewed for the pipeline and the oil wouldn't stay here but go to the international market.
And for some reason we couldn't comment on those two articles, but we have been able to on previous Keystone articles.
None of the celebrity stuff has a comments section any more...
The only reason all this crap is hapening is cause democrats are voting for republican nominees. In November we will all unite behind the ONE candidate who will unseat Obama.
Jesus isn't on the ballot,,, If he was he would be running as a Liberal Democrat
Republicans are still trying to find a Ronald Reagan & they can't find one among their own.... But even then Reagan would run as a democrat just to beat these republicans today.. Just ask one of Reagan's aids if you don't believe me
Aztlan: and who will that ONE candidate be? The one pulling the Dem-seeking robo-call stunt, or the one squeaking by on avalanches of money?
any candidate is better that obama
Aztlan: though I'm hardly an Obama fan, I feel compelled to suggest that your glee when your preferred candidate ( still unspecified---and I thought I was the Cagey one ) gets anointed will be tempered shortly thereafter by McCandidate squaring off with Obama in a debate.
Let's make sure we rip on the Republican candidate when he inevitably uses a teleprompter in the debate.
Is this yet another surge from behind for the less than self-riches one?
Wow, all that money for a 50-50 split....
Can you say "Voter approval"??????????
Not...
Which Party Creates More Jobs - Democrats or Republicans?
http://www.matchdoctor.com/blog_133567/Which_Party_Creates_More_Jobs_-_Democrats_or_Republicans.html
Tomorrow Republicans hold up another major "Jobs Bill" the Transportation Bill --- They attached an amendment that attacks contraception
Party Politics Before the Needs of America & America's Families
Good Ol' Froth & Vomit, next thing you know he'll be bringing a cross and nails on the stump saying Obama really wants to hang me because I am the only one preaching the purest real faith ...and that is what the founding fathers really wanted for America when they demanded separation of Church and State....HA HA HA
So, were these delegates split vertically down the middle or horizontally across the torso?
They way things are washing out, now that the buffoonery has someone playing "candidate", the only people who will vote for one of these morons come November are the delegates. Think Romney's mom would vote for such a bald faced liar and tax dodger?
Political Prisoner 2012 get back in your cage.
Aztlan,,, If you have something to say, say it...
A lot of conservatives will either switch to Obama or not vote rather than vote for anyone in the current field.... There are decent free thinking conservatives & independents out there that resent this turn to the destructive hard right
Republicans have gone way far right of Ronald Reagan & not one existing Reagan aid will vote for a republican candidate
Throwing your vote away is what happens when you don't vote. A revolution would occur if we voted in concert AGAINST the BIG money. How easy to conceptualize, how easy to do. Reacting in such a fashion COULD CHANGE THE TIDE of american electoral "wisdom". Thinkaboutit... Visualize lying about your intent to pre-election polling and doing other than what you say...not unlike campaigning politicians. Willard is burning through money and getting unsatisfying results. We're SO close to a behavioral revolution. WE COULD DO THIS. It would be alot like exercising our democracy and exorcising that which has been rotting it. Fighting fire with fire, defeating liars with lies. I want an American Spring. How about it kids?
No thank you.. We had a Revolution before & the President has a much better military than we had back then....
And what's with this "fighting fire with fire & defeating liars with lies" thing? A bucket of cold water & truth works real good to defeat republicans
"Defeating Liars with Lies" is morally absurd
Jim-372206 Every election cycle we get lined up like bowling pins. We are led through seemingly meaningless exercises that are supposed to be our expression of democratic choice. How is it that only Dems & Repubs get elected? How is it that so often the candidate with the most money wins? How is it that when we elect someone on what sounds like good ideas, political pundits and hate media line up to trash the program? How is it that we do this ad infinitum my friend? Are you referencing the American Revolution? I believe we threw the Brits out because they were treating America much as our "homies" are treating us now. ie: We won. Cold water and truth has a hard time competing with fear and money. Remember the Swift-boaters? Define morally absurd. I got lost on that one.
Dude,,, Get off it already, we are not being treated like we were before the Revolution... Check the Supreme Court records. States have more power than federal government & nobody's freedoms have been taken away.... In fact, more Americans & even gun owners have more liberties than they did in 2007
If you are still trying to make an argument for Ron Paul, your problem is with Ron Paul & republcians that aren't supporting him.... I've told you from the beginning all Ron Paul is doing is paving a path for his son, you might want to start looking at that because he knows he doesn't have a chance from republicans, he's just not one of them
Senor Jim. Your assumption that I support Ron Paul is incorrect. Isn't he want to be one of the four Repubs? I see no HOPE in that field. The Supreme Court Recently granted corporations the status of individuals which is how the REALLY BIG money is back. REALLY BIG money operates like royalty Jimmy. If you aren't one of them, you really aren't anything. Are you able to donate a few million to your guy? If the answer is no then you really have no business being a Repub. That is what so many blue collar Repubs either don't get or don't believe. Our system needs an enema but that takes guts and a belief that everything worthwhile may not be "in the box". Our Revolution was not the product of "in the box" thinking. Never cared for Loyalists myself. Perhaps your definition of "morally absurd" is still forming?
If Romney beat Sanitorium in Michigan then doesnt that mean that more people voted for Romney. So why are they spliting the delegates 15 to 15? Proof once again that the politicians are not voted in by a vote of the people. They are voted in by the electoral college also known as delegates. These delegates are ex politicians, judges, rich businessmen etc who have been chosen by someone. You all notice that the news media never does a story on who exactly these people are and how they got that position? Wake up sheeple. The election process in this country is a sham. Its all smoke and mirrors designed to trick the people into thinking they had a hand on who got elected.
Is 15--15 really a win for romney?
Starting today in Ohio, we are enjoying the right wing fools ripping into each other.
Nothing like having the republicans writing the ads for President Obama to use in the fall.
I don't get it....Romney won by like 30K votes...and they split it? Crazy....
The big money elites are backing Romney, and Obama. Santorum, and Gingrich have been in politics for years so they are most likely bought, and paid for. The best choice is Paul or a 3rd party candidate. The USA is totally broke, and both parties want to keep the perks, and power going. They just don`t get it.
And the ads of Santorum in Ohio are of him in bed with Micheal Moore begging dems to come vote for Rick. (puke)
Me thinks many Ohioians will change their votes. They're not real keen on Moore and Santorum.
Whatever happened to the repub god's declaration of the 11th Commandment, "Thou shall not speak evil of thy fellow repub." Oh I know that was only good for when it was good for their god. What was his name again?

Rush Limpball, Glenn beckit, all the other rightwing wacko's and bimbos from faux news have done the GNOP proud. You republicans lovin' that Tea Party enthusiasm now? Did obstructing America's economic recovery work for you republicans? Did signing a preteen dream idea (Norquists contract) work out? No taxes for the richest?
Now you have a limp lib out in front who your richest contributors support and rabid neanderthal conservatives splitting the wacko ticket. Good luck with staying politically alive in 2012. (so you want to take back the senate. After this you might set your sights on dog catcher)
so this short article is open for posts and discussion, an article where nothing positive can really be said yet other, more pressing articles where the comments may be critical of the obama administration are not (like the gas prices ones). Its also interesting how, once again, feisty redhead is the first to comment. A total msnbc insider. People call out fox news for being biased, which they are, yet someone msnbc gets a pass.

That fact that Santorum had to use robocalls and ask democrats to vote for him to send a message to Romney shows how desperate Santorum is. It is just another indication that his message of pushing the religious issues are not resonating with the majority of the voters who are more concerned with the economy.
He may have picked up some delegates in Michigan by using this underhanded tactic, but what does it get him in the general election if he did become the republican nominee, a big fat nothing. These democrats who voted for him will not vote for him in the general election so all it accomplished was to skew the republican primary process.
So much for honesty in American politics; win at any cost. And we condem nation after nation for not having free and FAIR elections.
