The letters recently sent out by the Santorum campaign that ripped into Mitt Romney were ordered before he suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, his campaign manager said.
“It truly frightens me to think what’ll happen if Romney is the nominee,” reads the letter, which the Des Moines Register reported showed up in Iowa mailboxes on Monday – almost a week after Santorum announced he would abandon his bid for the White House.
The two-page appeal for money repeats the most frequently used attacks Santorum leveled against his rival on the trail, mainly that Romney is "a moderate from Massachusetts" who will not be able to mount a real challenge to President Barack Obama on issues like health care.
When asked by NBC News whether the letters were ordered before Santorum's decision to exit the race, his former campaign manager Mike Biundo replied, "Of course."
But the strongly-worded rebuke of Romney triggered speculation about whether it was intentional.
Santorum has yet to endorse a candidate. During a conference call on Monday, he did not dismiss the idea of supporters still voting for him in the Pennsylvania primary next week. “As far as how you vote, that’s up to you,” Santorum told those who phoned in. “I haven’t supported any candidate at this point, so that’s really up to you.”
On the trail, Santorum repeated that the health care legislation Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts makes him "uniquely disqualified" to challenge the president on health care.
"Republicans and conservatives will be crippled by a nominee who presents zero contrast with Barack Obama on the major issues of this election," the letter reads.
But the fundraising appeal is also a reminder of the debt Santorum's campaign is now attempting to pay. Monday's call with thousands of voters featured multiple appeals for money from call moderator and longtime political aide Mark Rogers.
One of the final lines of the letter read, somewhat forebodingly, "If you do nothing – or if you put off answering my letter by even a few days -- it'll be too late."

Well its a good thing FROTHY dropped out then
now the froth will be smeared all over Romney's face - it certainly is a left wing conspiracy Romney was talking about.
Ron Paul.. The only real conservative since the beginning.
One things is for sure - Ron Paul is just as bigoted as Santorum, and just as big a Christofascist.
I swear, the Republicans are going out of their way to write Obama's re-election campaign. Of course, they will shake their etch-a-sketches and use the Newtsters line, "Anyone who quotes me is a liar."
Mittens, Etch a Sketch, Rob-us-blind, Flip Flop Romnut, the 1%'er actually 0.006%’er a Corporate RAIDER and one time governor of Liberal Mass but now he is an arch conservative. Has supported Abortion, Gay Rights, Gun Control, Stem Cell Research and has reverse himself on all of these issues.
He took both sides on the financial bailout, the stimulus bill, the auto loan package;
His biggest Flip-Flop of all Health Care Reform The national Law is modeled on the one that he championed as governor in Mass that requires every citizen to have health insurance. Now he has Flipped-Flopped. Mr. Flop has taken a hard slide to the right pandering and boot licking to the tea party.
Mitt Flip-Flop Rob-us-blind, a wishy-washy, flip flopping spineless politician without any core convictions, principals or believes a man who will say or do anything to get elected telling one crowd one thing and another crowd another. You simply can’t trust this guy to tell you the truth.
The only good thing that would happen if Flip-Flop were to get elected It would prove that Conservatism is dead as Flip-Flop would stab the Conservatives in the back.
Mitt Flip Flop Romney LMAO!
Yes, and how I long to live in a Robocop-styled Detroit.
/sarcasm lol
Hey Observer, did you know that they are going to build a statue, ala Rocky Balboa, of Robocop here in Detroit?
Some guy started a web page and collected over $50,000 to build it, then got permission to actually go forward with it.
And I thought donating to a Presidential Election was the stupidest way someone could blow their money.
lol I did hear about that. I remember the stories on MSNBC and I actually posted in some of the Newsvine comments about it.
I'm all for Rocky Balboa and Robocop statues, so long as people choose to pay for it and it's not done through taxes. They were great movies!
The reason I love Robocop is that it's such a great warning against the inevitable evils associated with libertarianism, aka Ron Paul. What was the name of that company again, White Collar Auto?
Had to check Wiki Pedia, after your question it was really bugging me that I couldn't remember it.
OCP - Omni Consumer Products. Cool Movie.
It has been clear to me for some time that Santorum does not want Romney to win in 2012. He will do anything he has to for Obama to win this year so he can run again in 2016. I actually don't blame Santorum, who owes Romeny NOTHING. And i wouldn't be surprised at all if their are other Repubs out there that would rather see Obama win this year so they can run in 2016.
"Republicans and conservatives will be crippled by a nominee who presents zero contrast with Barack Obama on the major issues of this election,"
Sorry, but the 'major issues' of the campaign are ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOBS, for which Romney is the best qualified by far - especially compared with Obama, who has been a dismal failure on those issues. We still have well over a million FEWER people working in this country than when he took office, and economic growth is virtually non-existent, and debt is OUT OF CONTROL.
Obamacare will be decided by the Supreme Court before the election, so it ceases to be an important issue.
Santorum is still delusional - fantasizing that he'll garner enough votes at the primary. What's with these repub/tparty candidates and supporters? No concept of real life. A wealthy stay-at-home wife/mother thinks she's attacked for not having outside employment, not realizing that most mothers do NOT have a wealthy husband that allows her a choice - that is reality.
Other repub/tparty are so engrossed in women's uterus they're legislating on egg/sperm/conception instead of the reality of health care, education and jobs for this "personhood." That's reality.
The repub/tparty is so intent to decrease the deficit, they're willing to throw the middle and working classes, the elderly, the unemployed and 99% of Americans in the sewer to do it. At the same time, the repub/tparty go to great lengths protecting the wealthy corporate elitists who have much more than enough for themselves and their brood, but not yours. That's reality. They want yours so you don't have anything. Go hungry, sleep under a bridge, stand in line for your next meal. That's the repub/tparty morality - For ME, not thee - that's their true base. And those who haven't realized it, every baby born is another fodder for their upcoming wars.
I like that last line. Send me money NOW or it'll be too late.
Wealthy stay-at-home mother? Why are these dreadful wives of these dreadful men in this discussion to start with? Remember, Hillary did OK and almost got nominated for president even though her spouse was a confessed perjurer and guilty of sexual crimes in the workplace.
And barring situations where there is no father, every mother has a choice as to whether to stay home or work. It is a choice between many things, but it works down to a choice between raising the kids personally or having someone else such like grandparents or sitters or some sleaze-bag day care institution raise your children. The circumstances of the choice mostly revolve whether you own or rent your dwelling, you drive two luxury cars or one or two cheap or even used cars; where you vacation, even if you ever really vacation instead of maybe camping out for a week. It really involves how much you think your kids rate in terms of your love, guidance, care, etc. Almost like choosing between breast and bottle. Maybe a choice between material wants and moral obligations.
And if the woman is an engineer or doctor and the man is just an average working guy, he can just as easily be the stay-at-home.
So, Tom, what are you saying about the Palins, who both chose a career over their kids? What are you saying about the Bachmanns? Why are there so many conservatives with two working parents, if being a working parent means you don't love your kid all that much? Where are the family values?
Santorum is out of the race; so what possible reason would NBC have for publishing this smear piece??
@tom
You said:

Spider, pandering to the FR LWNJ's is the obvious answer or secondarily to provide conservatives with comedic relief as the liberal/progressives spout inane commentary.
Rick the Megalomaniac thinks he is gearing up for 2016. Please no. Obama doesn't need any help from santorum the religious fanatic. Think how scary government with him in it would be. I truly believe this race is far from over, and Mitt has a good chance as well. I will be happy with either BO or Mitt, but never with rick, ron, or rick perry (is it Alzheimers or alcoholism), or most of the others, esp. santorum. I did really like Jon Huntsman too (2016) or Marco Rubio and many other good candidates. Tea partiers have pretty much ruined this election.
And I quote Insanitorium, "It truly frightens me to think what'll happen if Romney is the nominee". When the Insanitorium spokesman was asked if Insantorium stills feels this way after suspending his campaign, he said "Hell yea"! Ricky you should have shortened your quote to read, "It truly frightens me to think"! "And Romoney should burn in Hell"! "Vote for Obama"!
ROY WILSON-336103 - Says
The republicans definitely present a huge contrast with Obama. They are more focused on getting richer on the backs of the American people than they are about moving America forward.
Romney is the most qualified? Sure.. if you want to continue giving tax credits to corporations that move American Jobs overseas. Sure if you want to allow people to HIDE their money in offshore bank accounts so they don't have to pay their fair share of taxes. Sure if you want people who work harder to pay higher taxes then someone who 'invests' in corporations. Sure if you want to continue to give 4 billion dollars in tax subsidies to rich oil companies who are already making record profits. Romney is well qualified to be the president of the Cayman Islands.
I do agree, that the economy and job growth is the top priority of this nation. However, why do all the GOP contenders feel so compelled to prevent gays/lesbians from having equal rights and basic civil rights? Why do the GOP contenders feel so compelled to have the federal government tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body?
Yes, it probably will. If it's struck down, then the Republicans will claim victory. The millions of americans who now would have had health insurance wont. We'll get to go back to the old way of doing things. The american taxpayer will continue to flip the bill for the un-insured and the republican stockholders of drug companies will make even more money.
As for Santorum. I saw a copy of your letter that was sent to my parents in Iowa. You truly are an IDIOT and I am glad that you will NEVER be President of the United States.
Santorum endorsed Romney in the last campaign. It's nothing more than campaign rhetoric designed to bring in contributions. Santorum will end up endorsing Romney and this chapter is over ... just like the Hillary vs Obama vitriol in the last Democratic primary was soon forgotten.
If Obama wins, Rick does have to worry about runnig next time. There will be no next time,this country will be different. People will say this will never happen to the USA. They walking into it with their eyes wide open.A fast talking and promising Obama will snow you.Look what he has established so far.How bad are things in this once called great country think about it and then............vote.
Santorum is right on this one. Romney is a nightmare for all but the very rich.
Mitt Romney's policy on jobs is "let Detroit fail."
Mitt Romney's policy on housing is "we need more foreclosures so wealthy investors can buy up those houses and rent them out to the middle class families that used to live there."
Mitt Romney's policy on taxes is "just don't pay them; move your money overseas."
Mitt Romney's policy on national defense is "I'm going to France, good luck with that war."
Mitt Romney's fiscal policy is "end Social Security and give that money to rich guys like me."
Henry - I can only hope that the American electorate will have its eyes wide open. The stock market is up, unemployment is going down, the stimulus worked - no depression, the auto industry bailout worked and is reaping record profits, Obama care will allow real people(not Corporations) with pre-existing conditions to get health care, health care industry must spend 80% of profits for health care(what a novel idea). Is everything just rainbows and unicorns, no but its not soup lines and selling pencils on the street corner. Count your blessings not your bile attacks.
Ladies:
Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act of 2009. Equal pay for women.
The GOP all voted No.
OBAMA 2012
Santorum "Truly frightens me" this loser is beyond needed help, he should be in a Nut house.
Risky Ricky and his tea retarded buddies make my skin crawl !
Well now . . . like any good Republican, you can be sure Santorum will flip-flop (as he has learned to do from the master) and enthusiastically support Mitt Romney . . . LOL!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!
Henry, I've been thinking about it. Are things really so bad for you? I mean, forget all the statistics and tell me - are things really that bad for you? Are things really that much worse than they were say 5 years ago? I myself am better off than I was then. Gas was well over 4 bucks a gallon back then, but now I've found a better job and can afford it more easily. Now I hear how if Obama gets reelected things are going to go down the tubes. That's the same thing I heard last election. In my case, things got a lot better.
Think about it. Think for yourself, not what any news station tells you. Are things really that bad for you? If things are so bad for you maybe you should consider your vote more carefully. Did things go bad for you on January 16 2008? Is that exactly when things started to go bad for you? Think about it.
Only because the daily addition of 401k money. Without an equal increase in GNP you are creating a new bubble waiting to burst similar to the housing bubble, and the Market crash of 1929.
Up on an average of 125,000 new jobs each month when about 200,000 new jobs per month are needed just to supply people entering the work force. 250,000 are requried to reduce the unemployment roll with new jobs to fill the ones lost. Where are these people going? Many run out of benefits, so they are no longer counted, Others turn to consulting, others taking part time work, others apply for early social security, and others apply for social security disability. We are sing record numbers doing the latter 2. this is real bad, because those unfunded liabilites are going to take social security to insovency faster.
There are no economists who say this that I have heard. Even the CBO reports that the stimulus did relatively nothing!
Really? of the 10+ million who have pre-existing conditions only 8,000 in the first six months got insurance for the first time. Only the uniformed thought you could not get insurance for pre-existing conditions. There were actually a half dozen insurers that offered such plans. The good that Obama did was make it so all health insurers had to offer a plan. We lost a number of health insurance companies who dropped out rather than get involved in a guaranteed money losing scheme. The rest offered plans that were so expensive because insurance under those terms is really pre-paid medical care rather than insurance, that few could afford the premiums.
The health care portion of the insurance companies, before obama got 1.5 - 3% profit if they were lucky. When so many people lost their jobs they also lost their health insurance. The jump in profit to 6 - 7% during that time was money freed up for being abolved for future liability for those laid off.
This is just ridiculous, PMSNBC put this story out like it means something. The letters come out after he suspends his campaign so it's a big SO WHAT!!!!! The letters were campaign letters, what did you think they would do, support Romney??? Anything to support the failed presidency of obumbo.
"Libtards"...Name calling. Playground fodder for playground mentality.
AND...it's a spin on the word "retard", equally repugnant and demeaning to a group of afflicted individuals who cannot help the way they were born.
What a kind, accepting, Christian group of people!!! (sarc)
usa1967-PMSNBC? You are a consistent Romney/Limbaugh Republican-attacking women to start every conversation. Keep it up. A 20% gender gap can always get bigger.
Santorum still trying to solicit donations a week after he announces his departure from the race. His campaign is millions of dollars in the red. Did you think he would pay it off with his own money, HA! That's what we have the middle class for, to pay of Republicans debt.
Little cry baby Ricky continues to show why Conservatives rejected his petty Ass!
Rick is a religious nut, he and his crazy band of bible thumps would be a disaster for this nation, even worse than Obama(if anyone could think that would be possible)
Hey saxon, Santorum was inspired by "W" !!!
I really have no idea what Romney's healthcare plan is/was, but have a friend who lives on Cape Cod and although she dislikes Romney in general, said his healthcare plan did good... whatever that means..
You watch, Santorum will start his bible thumping/prancing/dancing in about 2 years from now... he's more than scary, he's a total train wreck, as the voters of PA have shown when the booted him to the curb. Either he fails to realize, or does and is too self-absorbed, that he can do absolutely nothing as President to overturn Roe v. Wade, or anything else he does not like unless the entire bench of the Supreme Court quits, passes away, or joins the circus and he gets to appoint his own judges. Of course, he won't get what he wants, too many confirmation hurdles in the Senate, so I am pretty clueless what he thinks he can do that is so great..... I just love these delusional folks, who are holier than thou, and fanatical.... He should talk to Sarah Palin about how that worked out for her.... lol
Tom343 post 1:15- Your post regarding working mothers is one of the most ignorant rants I've read on here in a long time. And believe me, I read a lot of ignorant rants on these discussions.
First of all, I'm a married woman. My husband works full time. I rent my home. We drive 2 old cars, one paid off, one with a small payment left. We haven't gone on a vacation since our honeymoon 6 years ago. We have a 4 year old son. AND I HAVE TO WORK TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
Do I have a choice? Sure I can work and make sure that my son is brought up in an apartment located in a low crime neighborhood, or we can relocate to the ghetto where he is certain to be exposed to gang bangers and drive by shootings. I can choose to stay home and have the American taxpayer pay for my son's health insurance or I can work and provide it for him myself. My son has a disability that requires 2 hours of specialized private therapy twice a week to keep him on track with his peers. He doesn't qualify for special needs preschool because my early intervention efforts have left him with only a 20% delay and they require him to be 40% delayed before he can get services.
Even without the special expenses related to my son's healthcare, our rent, electric, gas and food bills all exceed the $19,000 that my husband brought home last year. We are the unfortunate victims of this economy. My husband was laid off from his good job in 2008 5 months after we had our son. It took him 2 years to find new employment for half what he made before. We had every intention that I would stay home, but that just wasn't feasible, not without going on welfare. I make more than twice what my husband does. We were lucky enough that he was able to stay home with our baby while he looked for jobs and I worked. When he finally found a job, we were fortunate to be able to have arranged it so that his days off were days I worked so we only had to put our son in daycare for 3 days a week.
You have absolutley no right to sit in judgement of what families have to do to survive. A choice. PAH! Is a choice between poverty and sustainability really a choice? I have a responsiblity to my child to provide him a safe, healthy environment and to teach him the value of hard work and self reliance. I know very few working mothers with small children who wouldn't quit on the spot if their finances allowed them to. You want a return of stay at home mothers? Then fix the damn economy so our husbands can support their families on their own.
Hey tom343, where did you get your reality check, it certainly wasn't based in true reality.
Mitt has more flip flops than the shoe check girl at a Baghdad mosque...
Because we're still trying to figure out the conservative mind. The Republican Candidates have torn at each other with a vengeance moving as far to the right as possible. The party is now so far right Ronald Reagen would be labeled a socialist. Now the Mitster has to swing to the middle. With O'l Frothy's comments and writings during the campaign he is left with quite a dilemma. He can support the Republican candidate and reverse his statements pouring O'l Frothy all over the Mitster, proving he is a hypocrite, or he can demonstrate his lack of support...gain traction with the Tea Party for a 2016 election and split the party this election. So the real question is...has the Republican Party already written off this election?
The out of control debt, Roy Wilson, was directly caused by the Bush tax cuts, Bush wars and the Bush recession/depression which yesterday you commented on. The projected deficits in the next decade are 10T, letting the tax cuts expire they are "only" 2.3T which is less than the war in Iraq and doesn't account for the loss in revenue from the modern day Hoover. When you say "Obamacare" derisively, aren't you really saying "Romneycare" or "Republican" care as the mandate is their idea and the only avenue where they would possibly cooperate. Of course they reneged on that cooperation when they decided they could obstruct the will of the people to fix the healthcare issue in this country. Further the only economic growth created by Romney went into his Caymen island account. Are you Mr. Wilson a paid commenter, kind've like the planted journalists W stuck in his "news" conferences? You sound like a Libertarian, which is to say an ex-Republican who can't argue the merits of policies put out by Republicans but still hates anything Democratic. Fortunately the Federalist Society does not yet have a solid majority on the SC(R)OTUS and we'll see what they do.
More lies!
Unemployment - Up on an average of 125,000 new jobs each month
No, that was just March. The preceding 3 months all saw a gain of more than 200,000. How do you calculate averages?
Stimulus - Even the CBO reports that the stimulus did relatively nothing!
The CBO just released a report Feb, 2012 that stated the stimulus was responsible for up to 2 million people still having jobs in Dec, 2011. So, where exactly did you read that the CBO said the stimulus did nothing?
health care industry must spend 80% of profits for health care
This statement is nonsense! The requirement was that 80% of the money taken in as insurance premiums was to be spent on health care! After all, isn't that why we pay insurance premiums? To actually get health care when we need it? Not corporate welfare for the insurance company CEOs.
Lilly Ledetter act is silly. A woman should not get equal pay because she is a woman... she should get equal or better pay based on education, experience, and efforts within the establishment and depending on the contract she signs. sadly more men study engineering, computer science, and mathematics then women. What we should do is inspire girls study in these areas and then you will then see the salary gap get smaller. I suggest reading Why Men Earn more by Warren Farrel.
most people i know got a stimulus of 3-$500 check or refund on their tax statements for that year. HOW DID THAT HELP ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO ROFL can not have those 2 Tea Tards Cutting each other up .
Romney and Obama are the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcgXQA9d7is
Flip Flops latest ignorant statements
Take a look at just five of the times Romney failed on foreign policy facts:
Romney says his desire is “not to leave” Afghanistan even when Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to staying indefinitely. [Source: Boston Globe]
Before Osama bin Laden’s death, Romney said it was “not worth moving heaven and earth” to find Bin Laden. [Source: TIME]
Romney says the U.S. should support regime change in Syria because it’s Iran’s “route to the sea,” but Iran actually borders the Arabian and Caspian seas and doesn’t share a border with Syria. [Source: MSNBC]
Romney called Russia, a strategic partner of the United States on vital issues, America’s “number one geopolitical foe.” [Source: ABC News]
When asked how he’d approach going to war with Iran, Romney has said he’d defer to his lawyers: “You sit down with your attorneys” so they can “tell you what you have to do.” [Source: CNBC, WSJ GOP Debate]
Witchking - Scary, isn't it? Honestly, I wish the Republicans would have put up SOMEONE who I could feel half-way ok about. In the off chance that all the Republicans just vote against Obama instead of for Romney and Romney actually manages to pull it out, at least I wouldn't be scared to death.
Liberal media working hard to highlight GOP silly things. It happens in DNC too... remember Hillary Vs BO?
Does MSNBC has any good stories for Americans? like how to fix economy, jobs, healthcare? none!
myOh - the so called "liberal media" who is that Faux News or CNN? Oh I see MSNBC - and what silly things is that an O'Romney who hasn't stood on a single thing - an O'Santorum who is the right wing of OPUS DEI - an O'Gingrich - banished in disgrace from Congress - or crazy - welfare queen O'Bachmann - raised 20 kids - got $720,000 from Minn - husband "pray-away-the-gay - got $275,000 for training and accepts Medicare and gets farm subsidies - or O'Herman Cain - hand up skirts - and O'Paul - mysogynist -anti blacks - or O'Perry - execute them where they breathe
Glad girl that these are your people - they are not mine - go for it you probably deserve them - Jeez!- how sad
myOH
It's trully sad when racism taints a persons common sense causing them to hold up villians as heros....
Barbara: Great posting! Thanks.
Big Al
By Barbara putting the "O'" in front of the the names of the people in the her post, she's making them all Iris. Witch makes her comments way more racist than myOH which had nothing racist in it.
If people like you are going make yourselves "The Race Police" you should try and make it kind of fair, least you yourself look racist.
Aren't we glad Obama never said anything bad about Hillary when they were running for the Democratic nomination. And it seems as though Hillary said something about Obama that he wouldn't know what to do if the phone in the White House rang at three o'clock in the morning.
Risky Ricky has his DNA on Sanatorium !
Your first amendment guarantees are intact. I will defend to the death your right to say as many stupid things as you like.
"Your first amendment right to freely speak your mind does not carry with it a right to be taken seriously."
-Hubert Humphrey
I have to admit I don't agree with the comments that have been collapsed, but I would just as soon not see the collapsing tool used as one of censorship. I wish others on this post would take heed. It's not a popularity contest, after all; it's an opinion.
Another H Ross Perot
Mitt will pay off Santorum's debts to get the guy to hush up. Might have to dip into those Swiss bank accounts or the Bahamian tax dodge investments, however, but it will be done.
Calling people $hit and libturds is respectful? Before speaking about the splinter in another's eye, remove the plank from your own.
Maybe, Mr. mePHDwee, those comments you refer to were collapsed because this story only concerned the ignorance of Santorum and Romney, nothing at all to do with Obama, and having no viable excuses for said ignorance of the Neocons, their salivating supporters could put up nothing more than "No, look at this OTHER hand!" ranting comments about "libtards". It's called deflection, and if that's all you can contribute, then you should EXPECT to be collapsed.
H. Ross Perot, regardless of what one feels about his politics, was self-made. He scrubbed his way up from jr. college, orchestrated the rescue in Iran, and made his own business.
Romney managed to not bankrupt his dad's legacy, but that is not quite the same.
So.... Santorum is Etch-A-Sketch as well. He doesn't really believe in his own principles.
He never did. Just serving Adleson.. Come on RON PAUL.. You got one more fish to fry.
Flip-Flop, Flip-Flop, Flip-Flop, Foot-in-Mouth...Call the CDC, it's some type of Tea GOP contagion!!! Santorum might have to "be" Romney in the name of "Party unity"! Oh well Rick, take another hit for the Party. These people are beginning to flip and flop around like a school of fish out of water! Where's the tarter sauce?
Cancel the tarter sauce...tainted fish!
Santorum is in time travel !!!!!!!!
No really You could not make this stuff up . We need some more palin and Bachmann to make this stuff Interesting .

Wow ! The right to bare "arms"? Uh, OK!
mePHDee-P-pouting H-hysterical D-dunce. You're so together. Did you graduate high school or did you get your GED?
Risky Ricky is so hard up to be a big man he will do anything to be "VP"
I really want to believe that deep down Rick Satorum is a decent guy -- unfortunately it is getting harder and harder to do that every day. I know he was hoping to stay in the contest until after PA -- and was hoping to have a win in his home stae --to redempt himslef there -- but it did not work out -Talk about "scary" --Some of the stuff he comes out with is totally insane -- and not based in either fact or logic and now he is actually starting to look and sound alittle like Hitler. This guy might have made a good candidate in 1812 -- not 2012. Maybe he is setting himslef up for another run in 2016 -- but RS really should just pay attention to his own family and keep his mouth shut. As far as Mitt goes -- He really does not get it -- he is so "out of touch" that he does not even realize how the things he saids and does come off to the vast majority of working (and not working) Americans. His "the people have no bread --so, have their private chef make them cake --thinking is conter-productive to himslef and this nation. His expertise as a "corporate raider" has made him and his "buddies" rich -- yes, --but is not what this country needs to fix the economy. He is not a "job creator" and giving more tax breaks to the rich and major corporations who ship jobs overseas ha not worked for the last decade and will not work moving forward. And NO, I am not in love with President Obama --and yes, I am disappointed with some of his efforts -- but if our choice is re-electing him or voting for a Flip flopping, aged rich kid/Corporate raider who thinks that having enough money to hire a fulll staff to raise your children for you is the same as being a real working mother -- then there is no contest. Obama -2012 -- at least he is trying to help the country -- not just enrich himself.
Well said Limbaugh. Now the voters know the truth.. There is only one conservative candidate.. He also happens to be the Champion of the constitution.. Ron Paul is the ONLY real deal.
He also happens to be the Champion of the constitution..
Care4 - He's so old, he probably helped write it.......
Sorry Care4 - Looks like your stuck with Mittens...
Obama/Biden 2012
Stuck with mittens? Not according to this. See the link below.. These people know how to cast a REAL vote and not get lost in MSM lies. The media here.. main steam.. now admits Ron is 2nd in delegates.. They claim Romney has 500.. I ask you.. where are the other 1600 plus delegates? Why hasn't Romney sealed the deal when so much money has been spent? Pauls people are just everyday people who wish to defend liberty 100 dollars at a time.. when we can sacrifice it in the cause to defend liberty.. Notice Ron has all the millitary men and women serving this fine countrys support.. And many can not be here to delegate the one they know upholds the oath.. They are sending you a message to act on their behalf.. Does freedom matter? Do the millitary deserve you to give back? I SAY I WON'T STOP FIGHTING. I'll defend liberty and our Constitution till the very end and no matter what, my slip will say RON PAUL
ron as the nominee? yeah, then barak won't have to break a sweat.
@GT-2021701 I would be ashamed to support a leader when this is how his millitary feels about him.. Sorry MSM didnt report this but,, This is a video of soldiers marching on the Whitehouse to turn their back to OBAMA.. 1 SECOND for every person who has died since Obama promised to end these wars and we gave him the keys to do so.. HE LIED.. Instead he has increased the war zone into the USA and signed NDAA to include.. to much to cover.. read for yourself..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzF4BIwnZG4&feature=related
Again, Look at the millitarys donations!! They are sending you a message.. RON PAUL
Ron Paul is great......if you're a straight white Christian male who doesn't care about other people's civil rights.
Maridanne.. I will accept that challange.. I would love to see Obama try and fight off liberty and truth in a real debate.. But, if your like most who know, I'm sure you would not dare to put your guy up against a real candidate.. Instead you want a republican, because you know how damaged the republican name is from all this other scum phonys on the stage and from the Bush years.. Its the only way a socialist supporter will have a chance.... Obama vs Paul.. OBAMAS TOAST from right to left.
oh yea, maridanne? Here is the real deal:
I am a centrist/ liberal/ libertarian. Pro-choice, pro same sex marriage. I voted for Hillary in the 2008 primary, and Obama in the general. This can be attested to by every post I have ever made here and elsewhere. This is my stance:
If Mitt Romney (or any of those other whackos were to get the nomination, I vote Obama. If Ron Paul is the nominee, or if I have the opportunity to vote for him in the general? I vote Ron Paul.
I used to think he was a little out there, and I used to disagree with some of the things I heard from him perpetrated in the media. I have since heard him speak personally twice, and I have been able to find interviews he has given that were not arbitrarily edited and interviews where he is actually allowed to fully answer questions, and have come to the conclusion that he is what this country needs right now.
You call me whatever you want, but it will not stop my vote from being cast. If you think I am alone here, you are not understanding what is really going on. Dont believe the hype here, or FRox news, or MoveOn.Org or any of those propaganda machines. Actually look some things up for yourself and you will be surprised :)
Oh, btw...this story? Poppycock. This was sent out after Santorum dropped out. Santorum has instructed his WA delegates to side with Dr Paul. Do some independent fact checking :)
You are aware that Paul fully supports DOMA, right?
He's a bigot.
Apposed To DOMA bcause those issues aren't the federal governments business. Not Because of the issues it addresses. He is the only one FOR personal freedom. Not Barak, who thinks there needs to be laws to give freedom, which is an oxymoron. RON PAUL!
Care: If active military did that they would be subject to punishment under the UCMJ. As such, your post is BS!
Seems Danaelle forgot to do the fact checking herself. A little out there? Paul stated that we do not need healthcare reform or insurance because back in his day things worked fine without it. The man is completely out of touch. Back in his day a trip to the ER cost under a hundred dollars, now its thousands. Back in his day, we were not faced with educating our children to be globally competitive as we are now. Isolationism is not the answer. Paul is certainly out of touch with today's realities.
Ron Paul would be the scariest of all, I live in 2012 no way do I want to go back to the 1950's where nobody had any civil rights. You Paul supporters need to really check him out, he is for no government, that means no social security, no help at all. If you fall on hard times its too bad for you, if you cant afford the high costs that will come under his adminastration, due to no rules, you will have to just die in the street unless you could find charity from your neighbors or family.
Not being an Amercican some of the issues and comments elude me. But one thing I cannot understand. It seems to me that USA is the most militarised, policed and monitored country in the world. Trillions of dollars are squandered in military and defence operations for nothing but to keep up an imperialist stance. Billions and billions of public money have gone to the very people responsible for the present economic crises so that they grow richer and roughshod over the peopled. Yet you buck at a few billions to help fellow Americans in need.
Debden,
I think it is YOU that needs to check him out closer. He is the only one that hes written a bill to try to save social security called HR219.
Hell! Back in Paul's day insurance or emergency rooms didn't exist! lol!
At this point I will take anybody over Biff and Muffie Romney!!
Generally speaking, I am a party line democrat, but I can fully and deeply respect Ron Paul. Do I want him as president... not really but if it were between him and Mittens I take Ron Paul every time. At least he seems real and honest and like he actually believes in something.... and he stands by it. I know hes old, but Mittens is ridiculous and his track record is absurd.
Ron Paul should run on a thrid party ticket or as an independent.
Wrong. Paul supports DOMA precisely because of the issue it addresses - in fact Paul opposes the federal government recognizing the same-sex marriages even in marriage equality states like NY and MA.
He even wrote the odious "Marriage Protection Act" in a failed attempt to deny gays their civil right of due process to challenge DOMA in court.
Ron Paul only supports same-sex marriage once the government is no longer in the business of regulating marriage. That's like saying blacks can sit at the front of the bus once the government ends bus service. He's a bigot, plain and simple.
Someone had to inherit the British Empire.
DebDen, Shrekk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGaBAb_oS84
More:
Ron Paul's views on abortion and all that also mimic my own: I am personally against abortion but I believe that I do not have the right to force my views upon another woman through state or federal legislation.
Danaelle:
Actually Bob Barr now says that DOMA was wrong and unconstitutional, while Ron Paul still fully supports it.
Ron Paul thinks the states should be allowed to ban abortion entirely, and he supports a federal "personhood" amendment. If you're pro-choice, Ron Paul is definitely not your guy.
I have nothing useful to post, just keeping laughing here over the nickname Mitten, and visualizing hearing Hail to the Chief for President Mittens.... wasn't there a cat called President Mittens or something?? I cannot stop laughing...
Ron , WHO ?
Guess you only follow MSM.. HERE... Try this..SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND People have looked at this in just one week and its one of thousands. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgsg7a-Ok8Q
Ron Paul seems like a sweet olf guy, but he knows zero about the Constitution. As an attorney, it always amuses me when some bozo says "just read the Constitution and do what it says."
Care really believes the YouTube BS. Now maybe if he had a valid reference he might be believable.
Care4 ~ do you get any of your information from anywhere other than youtube? You do understand youtube can be altered to make you see something that isnt true, yes?
Care4 - "You will not see this on television."...only because the Ron Paul campaign cannot raise enough money to buy television time. If they could could, it would be all over every network.
Romney - Uniting the GOP on a daily basis!
I wouldnt be so sure.. Maybe you better get the inside scoop from the top of the GOP Party.. Here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlhRzRumb4
Really , I Do NOT see where ol' Ron can win anything . Its NOT that we have no heard him . He has been saying the SAME stuff for almost 40 years . He just changed his stripes now . He is running as a re-pub instead of a libertarian .
He is running as an American.. He is labeled a constitutionalist .. which happens to be something that all members of both party's were in our history.. We let them do this though.. We must always attend to liberty and we haven't.. Its time for change.. in us.. Find the candidate who's word is good.. Who can be trusted to obey the oath to protect our agreement with government. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsxdWj2bo1k
care4- it's not going to happen - save your ammo for 18th century America - we've grown past your BS - you couldn't go into the wilds - build your log cabin- skin a bison- fight off the Indians - have three wives because two died in child-birth - ride like the wind and defend your children against pneumonia and whatever
We in case you haven't noticed it are living in the 21st Century - cars really do exist - so put your horse out to pasture - get into this century when you get into your pick-up pray the bridges are safe
Are you kidding me? Have you noticed the stuff he has been talking about for 30 years has ALL HAPPENED???? BTW you better not vote for Obama again if you want to keep that gun honey.
You do realize he was elected and you still have your gun?
@96ws6
You're sooo funny 96. Age would always do it! 69 in time always becomes 96. :-)
If I remeber correctly when Obama was elected the US had the greatest gun buying rush ever! Your friends were telling everyone how that's their last chance! I would call that false advertising but I guess it helped the economy...some.
I wonder how many of them shot themselves in the foot after that!? :-) It might become a national sport of sorts.
It scares him to think about Mitt Romney being President? Well, it scares the rest of the world to think about a man who WANTS to end the world so his "Savior" can come back.
Daymmmmmmm...Santorum actually has a sac ! To bad he is a cult member and acts so crazy ..A republican who see's Mitzi and his wife for what they really are scumbag's.
Maybe he can get some molester money from his buddy Ratzinger aka Pope Benedict XVI... he was very good at hiding such slush funds.
Good thing those letters arrived before Rick endorsed Romney. Now that would be embarrassing and we know how these Republican candidates hate embarrassing themselves.
Carlo - Who's his savior, the Koch Bros.
Hey, Andrew? Pssst- have I got a story for you.
North Carolina. Democratic Party roiled by scandal- of the sexual harassment variety.
So far, one high ranked official has resigned after a secret payoff to a staffer who filed an EEOC complaint alleging sexual harassment. Now Party leaders are calling for the head of the whole shebang- including Governor Bev Perdue, despite telling reporters, earlier today, to just "get over it".
So, here is where a real, intrepid, professional journalist, could really break news- where did the money for this payoff come from? The Party does not earn money- it collects it from contributors. Do contributors contribute to pay off victims of sexual harassment? Is that how they want their contributions spent?
How about- were there others? How many people knew about this? How many covered it up?
Lots of meat on that bone. Go for it.
And people beyond North Carolina should care why?
Same reason you'd care if it were a Republican state party official.
Oh, you mean, like, not care (unless I lived in NC)?
Hey No Joe, think this might be problematic for the DNC since the convention is in Charlotte? It will be very interesting to see how they manage to ignore this story all summer.
Just wait, the usual suspects here will be screaming "Non-troversy", "Deflection", blah blah as loud as they can.
Of course, I am sure the old "These guys don't work for Obama" excuse will get trotted out too. They tried it with Hillary Rosen. They claim Obama has nothing to do with Super Pacs and Bill Maher. If Axlerod tells the media to spin it that way, they will follow his orders.
Love is, in fact, blind, I guess.
Hey Old Vet, seems if you are a Democrat you might want to care.
From the UK Daily Mail Story:
'If this hits the media, the Democratic Party, our candidates, and our credibility are doomed in this election,' reads one email exchange.

no joe, Sounds a lot more juicy than a repub leaking a letter saying Mittens isn't worth a "rats ass". Hell, everybody knows that..
Where's the story about NC scandal. I haven't seen it.
You can start here
http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/17/perdue-calls-on-state-party-chairman-to-resign-after-first-telling-reporter-to-get-over-it/
Or, Google North Carolina Democratic Party sexual harassment. Plenty of stories from which to choose.
It's funny- I learned about it by clicking on a story on realclearpolitics about Bev Perdue telling reporters to "get over it". Naturally, I asked myself, "get over what?"
It's been picked up by the Baltimore Sun, Kansas City Star, and LATimes.
Even Chuck Todd tweeted about it- not that he'd report on it. Guess he just wanted marching orders from Chicago.
Well, happy reading. . .
GT, I keep telling you folks you need to try to get your info from other places than MSNBC and the usual Left wing propoganda sites.
There is a big bad world out there and every once in a while some reporters actually manage a "Random act of Journalism".
If this was the RNC it would be on NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, First Read and the new NBC Sports Channel.
Its funny- Todd tweets something like " what's Chicagos take on this"- but, no mention here. Miami Herald, San Francisco Bee, even the UK papers have it.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2129497/North-Carolina-Democrat-staffer-paid-quiet-sexually-harassed-party-official.html
That story, by the way, includes some of the emails.
Evidently, this has caused a lot of people to quit the party's employ- don't like the atmosphere. From someof the stories I've read, it was not just sexual harassment, but verbal abuse of a lot of employees.
Great organization, huh?
Anyway, one person- who may or may not be the perpetrator, has resigned. There are at least two other, high ranking, party officials who should be forced out.
Bev Perdue has called for one of them to resign- no mentionof the other one.
Great party organization down there, right?
Nojo, WCA - Hey guys, the Daily Caller is not a news organiztion, its a right wing blog.... Their ten times more slanted than MSNBC and FOX put together.
If this was the RNC it would be on NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, First Read and the new NBC Sports Channel
WCA - As they say, 50,000 frenchmen can't be wrong.
This will make it harder for Santorum to sell his endorsement to Romney. Mitt should kick Rick to the side; he does not need his endorsement, and we do not need Santorum as part of our political process. If he wants to live in a conservative religious state, he can move to Saudi Arabia.
Steve-Mitt will need anything he can get. He can't hide his tax dodging forever. His only consistent position comes from a quote back in the Iowa primary-"Corporations are people, my friend." Everything else is fluff and pandering. If the American people can't see through the corporate candidate and realize that Romney would strengthen the billionaires hold on everything they will get a very unpleasant surprise. Romney is wealthy but not uberrich. He is the corporate tool who wants to be a player.
Santorum is your typical hypocritical, arrogant catholic, nothing more. As much as he hates gays, it's not a stretch to consider that maybe he had an experience or two with one his churches child raping priests.
The tea baggers have risky ricky under a suicide watch, l feed sorry for him.
Pressure is an interesting ingredient. Rick could not stand the stress without trying to take down others. But the true measure of any person is when they are under stress. Who do they become.
The Healthcare law is now up to the SC. Obamacare never addressed costs. The big drug companies went along for the ride believing that the would make up the difference they are losing with those huge tax assessments to pay for Obamacare by providing drugs to those that will be forced to buy insurance. Funny thing about that. Supposedly the mandate is necessary because we need young and healthy people to off-set those elderly sick people that will get added through medicaid. There is an assumption that most of those currently without health insurance are the young ones. If so, the drug companies will NOT be seeing more business. So the drug companies are assuming differently than the Obama administration, or at least publicly. Romneycare has cost the state of MASS more because those without insurance were in fact NOT young and healthy but old and sick, or poor and qualified for subsidies. Since they didn't raise taxes to pay for Romneycare those subsidies and high risk people are draining the system.
You can blame Romney, but he at least started the ball rolling on some sort of system. If Obama did pattern his system after Romney, he didn't so his homework and figure out what worked and what didn't. He should have asked and not assumed.
Here is the thing. Ask those that oppose a system rather than asking those that think the same. The 1st will be more honest and more enlightening and the pitfalls can be better seen and tackled. Presidents surround themselves by those that think the same way. They they wonder why their many policies fail.
They are now selling toilet paper with Santorum nose on it ?????????????
As a Republican, Santorum has to be MOST NEGATIVE republican candidate that I can ever recall. Romney actually looks refreshing. Remember that in his last election for the senatorial race in Pennsylvania Santorum lost by the largest margin in over 100 years. If he can't win in his home state, how can he expect to win ay the national level. What a loser!e is more interested in sabotaging the Republican candidate than he is in getting Obama out of the White House. Ask Santorum haw many endorsements he has compared to Romney---practically ZERO. Your family needs you for support more than your country.
R Jones - Romney is refreshing? What room deodorant are you using? All I smell is hey - what do you want me to be today?
A man with no convictions is not a man - would you want to shake hands with him to sign a deal? I wouldn't
Who once said a "I believe him because he is a man of his word?" Romney has no such allegiance
R. Jones- I suppose you support the guy in office who believes that all women need to be circumcised.
Barbara -- Candidate Obama made somewhere around 500 promises while campaigning for the presidency. Sounds a lot like who can I pander to today?
Romney is not perfect nor is Obama. You prefer one, I prefer the other. America, gotta love it!
BTW, Politifact rates him as keeping 34% of those promises. Not the kind of leader I want for 4 more years -- I need someone I can trust and clearly President Obama is not that person.
James, Of President Obama's 510 promises made; 162 promises were kept and 56 broken. The rest were either stalled, compromised or still in the works. President Obama was bold in trying to accomplish the amount of promises he made, compared to President Bush's 177 promises of which he made 33% of, so retrospect, Obama made almost as many as Bush promised. Oh, btw, Bush promised not to touch Social Security, but in 2002 he spent $159 BILLION of the Social Security Trust Fund surplus, but I'm guessing that was okay with you.
Ryan-If you're going to lie at least make it believable. That post is lunacy.
Santorum, Romney, and Ted Nugent they will all feel bad come November, Nugent either wants to be in jail or dead if Obama wins in november, Romney and Santorum, will probably wish they were in jail or dead. Anyway who cares they are all a bunch of losers... Obama/Biden 2012
Got to love the Ted Nugent's of the world .. anti-establishment turned establishment to protect his few remaining bucks that weren't snorted up his nose. St. Reagan anyone?
All you Right Wing Happy Folks - what would you have done if somebody done this to Bush or Cheney?
I would have heard such an outcry - all I can say is that you are all hypocrites of the fourth order - when someone
disrespects the Presidency - I as a Democrat would rise up against it - I guess it comes to women to have more cujones than you men - shame on you - maybe that's why you want to silence us - we know what is right - I guess you little boys don't
I also notice when the "Dixie Chicks" said much less they got silenced - I guess you're not up to the task - to protect the "Office of the Presidency" For shame!!! You embarass me and I thought I lived among men
carp,
Santorum, I guess, will not" go gently into that good night."LOL
Romney is doing every flip flopping thing he can think of to prove to the religious tea party base that he is one of them. And at the same time trying to tell moderates that he is a real leader with the right stuff.
Who is the real Mitt Romney?
Only his wife and dog knows....
he sounds like he is having a hissy fit. poor santorum. maybe newt can give him peace.ell, maybe newt will leave his wife for santorum
R Jones: "Romney is like a breath of fresh air"
I think you may want to take your head out of the SEWER. Santorum in pretty exact about what he said about Romney. Romney is nothing but a liar and flip flopper, probably worse than Santorum and Gringrich combined. Romney would lie to his mother and all of the USA just to become POTUS. He had no credibility and no morals...
Failure of credibility and moraals as a disqualification to be president? if you don't count Reagan, I can't think of a president in the past 50 years who qualified under your standard.
Nuclear scientist and Christian Jimmy Carter was eaten alive by both sides for trying to the right thing.
Hmmm. I guess youre right. He was both credible and moral. It would just never occur to me that the worst president -- ever, until that unbeatable record was shattered by Dubya (because of Carter's complete ineptitude, not a failure of morals) -- would ever be suggested by anyone as being "qualified". We were so desperate for honesty after Nixon, and we certainly got THAT, that we elected a candidate whose answer to every question posed by anyone during his campaign was "I don't know ... but. I'd like to". I guess "We the People" had a hard time believing that this candidate, so refreshingly honest, really didnt know a damn thing about the things a president really needs to know. Thanks for the memory. We all thought THAT was a painful time, until Dick and Dubya destroyed our spirit, our economy, our national pride, our world leadership, our esteem, our military strength, our national treasure, our being a shining beacon on the hill, etc., etc. I shudder to think how many of the now erstwhile Republican candidates this year were so qualified to beat even Dubya's record.
Anyone else notice that MSNBCs Political section has 15 articles all about the Republicans? Not one article about Obama? Why is that?
Can you say NOT fair and BALANCED
Yeah, where are all the articles about Obama's primary challengers?!!
What?
Apparently Fred knows a thing or two about grabbing his ankles for a nickle or two. Keep working it Freddie .. one day you to will get to a quarter.
Rick is just a sore looser.Mitt and Rick are more alike in alot of ways. Both have strong family values. Both have christian values,. Except Rick drinks the blood of Diablo. Both go to church . Except rick just goes at christmas and Easter. Mitt goes every sunday and both are conservatives. The main difference is that MItt will win the nominationj. And hopefully the Presidencey.
I can't imagine Republicans winning many seats in the upcoming election. The current elected Republican officials are so against the working class people that anyone with a lick of sense will not vote for any Republican regardless what one might think. All one has to do is read the newspapers for a week or two to get the drift of what I am talking about. Republicans at both the federal and state level turned the screws to teachers, police, firemen, postal workers, anyone in any kind of union and when you look at it that in turn hurt everyone from the so-called upper middle class on down. THEY can talk all they want about making it better for our children and grandchildren but in the meantime, they are hurting us in a way we cannot recover ourselves. So as I see it, every time Mitt is on TV, he hurts his chances of winning even more. All he does is complain and we the people see right through this man and the rest of the R's. BTW to all you Nugent followers out there, not all Democrats want you guns so there, most likely you can keep your guns so you can sleep nights if you vote for a Democrat.
John-what do you know about the Mormon angel Maroni? What planet do the Mormons think is their celestial home? You support a cultist with magic underwear?
According to Mormon teachings, Moroni was the son of Mormon. He completed the record that contained the plates that the Book of Mormon is claimed to be translated from. He deposited them in the ground, and the rest of his mortal life is unknown.
Joseph Smith claims that he later appeared to him and told him where to find this record (see www.lds.org/scriptures/pgp/js-h/1)
Mormon theology does not define a planet as their celestial home. Critics are going to say Kolob. In Mormon theology, Kolob is claimed to be a star near the throne of God. What this means is open for interpretation even within the Mormon faith. According to LDS doctrine, the Earth (the one your on right now) will become the Celestial kingdom (the highest kingdom in Mormon theology) after the final judgment.
Just to make sure I have covered my bases on this issue, I would also like to note that we do NOT believe that we get our own planet after death, regardless of what the Book of Mormon musical might say.
The magic underwear is a symbol to remind us to keep the commandments, just like the cross is for a Catholic. They are made from cotton, not chain mail.
As an interesting observation, there are many members of the LDS faith that said they used to believe that Mormons were a cult. Every profile that I read that stated this, then stated that they believed this because they did not correctly understand our beliefs. See mormon.org/faq/#Church|question=/faq/mormon-church/
Thanks for asking, realist pondering.
This clown needs to shut up!!!!!!!and he wants to be part of the program he slams Romney and the cries when Romney did not call him the winner does not call the loser he needs to go away just like ron paul the other loser.
This further goes to prove how much of a Dbag Santorium is. Go do seriously expect to win a nomination when you attack everyone who isn't a religous zelot. First you attack gay's and gay marriage, then you go after women with issues on birth control, women in the military, and abortion, then the porn industry. He might have had a chance picking one of these battle's but all three would have destroyed him if he won the nomination. Gay people have family's and those family's don't appriciate the hatred. Everyone has a mother and a grandmother, attacking them and saying they shouldn't be in the military or have a choice with their body pisses off their family's. The porn industry is the biggest business in the U.S. people don't want you messing with their porn the same as don't mess with their guns. Republican's have lost the youth vote. American's young voters don't care about gay marriage, or abortion, they care about jobs and affordable college tuition. When will you learn.
Fred-the sky is falling the sky is falling-move to Montana and raise a crop of dental floss. You make almost that much sense with your lame posts.
