Rick Santorum

No low is too low for Santorum [Update x2]

Update: San­to­rum came unhinged Sun­day in Wis­con­sin, vir­tu­ally dou­bling down on his ‘vote Obama over Rom­ney’ rec­om­men­da­tion last week.  More at bottom.

Update 2: See CBS video of San­to­rum at bottom.

Is San­to­rum out to win the elec­tion or destroy the Repub­li­can party?  As a wanna-be nom­i­nee with almost as lit­tle chance of get­ting the nom­i­na­tion as Gin­grich, San­to­rum is prov­ing him­self unsuit­able in every aspect.  Despi­ca­ble, extreme, and even un-American.

The lat­est stu­pid­ity from San­to­rum is his Obama-Ahmadinejad ad.

It is all in the math…

At this point, by most accounts, Rom­ney will secure the Repub­li­can nom­i­na­tion by con­tin­u­ing to win a plu­ral­ity and occa­sional major­ity of votes in the remain­ing con­tents. San­to­rum, on the other hand, needs to win two-thirds and Gin­grich nearly three-quarters of the remain­ing delegates.

MSM would have you believe that Sat­ur­day was Santorum’s day but a casual glance sug­gests oth­er­wise with 80% of the con­tests going to Rom­ney.

A public discourse on S-L-U-Ts and matters of insurance

Lim­baugh was inart­ful in call­ing San­dra Fluke a S-L-U-T.  What­ever his other other short­com­ings might be, I can­not com­ment on as I do not reg­u­larly lis­ten to him.  That said, it is clear that through and because of him, that Republicans–as por­trayed by the media–are the tar­get of venom from Democ­rats and the media.

Media reports go so far as to try and tar the Repub­li­can can­di­dates with Limbaugh’s com­ments.  I dis­agree about Rom­ney, in par­tic­u­lar, as I think he set a good neu­tral exam­ple in say­ing “not the lan­guage I would have used.”  This is not his fight and not one he or other can­di­dates need to get into at this point.  Me thinks there is a vast left wing con­spir­acy at play to shift the abor­tion debate to con­tra­cep­tives (recall the early ques­tion by George S to Rom­ney, which Rom­ney dis­missed as ridicu­lous.)  Now, every­one is mak­ing a big play to make this an issue.

Home state votes illustrate dishonesty and hypocrisy of Newt, Rick, and the Media

By now every­one has heard the repeated pro­nounce­ments by Gin­grich, San­to­rum, and the ever-helpful media that can­di­dates must win their ‘home states’ or drop out. Will the media finally point out the intel­lec­tual dis­hon­esty of Gin­grich and San­to­rum on the Super Tues­day pri­maries? How many peo­ple real­ize that BOTH San­to­rum and Gin­grich are long-term and cur­rent res­i­dents of Vir­ginia. By any rea­son­able def­i­n­i­tion, this is their home state, def­i­nitely more so than brand­ing Michi­gan as Romney’s home state even though he hasn’t lived there since the late 60s. Yes, 50 years ago.

So, what does Tues­day por­tend for the remain­ing four candidates?

Limbaugh, Santorum, and Sluts

Sur­prised to see San­to­rum reverse-pander on this one by say­ing Lim­baugh was being absurd.  Lim­baugh?  Good, but irri­tat­ing enter­tain­ment when dri­ving a long dis­tance, but now with satel­lite radio, can’t say I have lis­tened to him more than a cou­ple times over the past few years.  Han­nity?  That’s like drag­ging fin­ger­nails down a chalk­board.  Both, heck, all three are shame­less and shame­ful chicken hawks, neo­cons, and hypocrites.
