I thought Newt would quit before Rick did.

Newt is out of money and yet promises to still keep spending.  Ha Ha.  Fiscal conservative ain't he?

we still hear about santourm losing by 18 points in his home state penn.

mitt was spending 2 mil this week on ads along to humiliate him.  he wants to be the 2016 guy.  this was the only move.  Losing by 40+ points would have been rubbed in his face by Rubio, Palin, and the others in 2016 primaries.

He did the right thing today.   He did really well given his financial disadvantages and Mittens better realize that Saint Rick connected w a lot of regular blue collar lunch pail types who are going to be needed to oust the obamunist in november.

Yeah.  Santorum would need to say more. 

Only delusional piss ants like yourself would think he would do good in a debate.  Instead of talking about the economy or foreign policy he would spend all his time crying about abortions and bashing women.  Really good winning tactic there.

you're saying you don't believe him regarding his stated reason for suspending his  campaign?

I don't like Santorum at all and think he's a lying batshit crazy fundie but I believe him  when he said his decision was not entirely political. 

per CNN

Quote
He also acknowledged the decision was not entirely political, saying the past weekend was a "time of prayer and thought" as he and his family cared for his daughter Isabella.

Santorum's organization announced they were halting campaign events on Friday because the candidate's three-year-old daughter Bella was admitted to the hospital. Bella, the youngest of Santorum's seven children, suffers from a rare chromosomal disorder called Trisomy 18, which causes severe medical and developmental problems.

I agree with this. Dude was a fuckup. I never really could figure out where he stood on anything, all he ever talked about was abortions and porn, like anyone gives a fuck about those when the economy is imploding.

Why do you think Obama made birth control the issue in the first place?   Santorum did not make it the issue - ABC News started it with George S and then that traitor and slumbag ghetto thug obama lied to the bishop to his face.

That is what prompted the birth control issue and then the democrat communists put Fluke forward to pile on.

he didn't make it an issue

the right wing made it an issue

It's part of health care legislation and was non-issue until Repubs starting  going nuts about it  (and they were going nuts about abortion and other womans health issues long before the Repubs current war on women)

If it weren't for the right wing we wouldn't even be talking about it right now

Wrong asshole - obama specifically to the face of the bishop promised him an exemption in a meeting.   He lied right to the face of the Bishop.

and fuck you too - are we supposed to just sit silent while that ghetto racist thug imposes his tyranny on us?  I dont want to pay for flukes condoms.  so fuck you and fuck obama.

yeah, sorry but the decision to encroach upon religious institutions ability to run themselves as they see fit was not a "non-issue". Abortion, yes. Contraception, no. Obama made this into a huge issue, there was no way he was going to force religious institutions into something without a huge deal from the Republicans. The right didnt make contraception an issue - it IS an issue seeing as how people disagree on it.

Settle down Beavis -no one is imposing tyranny on you (except maybe the voices inside your skull) and for about the 100th time, Fluke never asked anyone to pay for her birth control and never even mentioned condoms

Face it - the Repubs have chosen to wage war on women and now they are facing the consequences of their actions

Many sane people in the Republican party have spoken out about this and begged their party to stop it before they kill any slim chance they have of victory in November

Schoen: Santorum Wants to Preserve ‘Political Credibility’
Tuesday, 10 Apr 2012
By Paul Scicchitano

Democratic pollster Doug Schoen tells Newsmax that former Sen. Rick Santorum suspended his campaign Tuesday because he would have lost all “political credibility” for a 2016 run at the GOP presidential nomination had he tasted defeat next week in his home state of Pennsylvania.

“He dropped out because if he loses Pennsylvania, he loses whatever political credibility he has,” declared Schoen in an exclusive interview on Tuesday after Santorum confirmed that he was suspending his campaign in an afternoon address from Gettysburg, Pa.

Schoen called the turn of events a “huge victory” for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has had difficulty winning support among the more conservative voters, who have helped Santorum to 11 primary and caucus victories.

By suspending his campaign, Santorum preserves the possibility of currying favor with Romney and the GOP establishment, according to Schoen, author of the new book, “Hopelessly Divided: The New Crisis in American Politics and What it Means for 2012 and Beyond.”

“While two weeks ago he said that Gov. Romney would have been the worst Republican in America to run, that worst Republican in America is going to be the nominee,” Schoen said. “And he’s looking to curry a little favor and hopefully be in a position to run in 2016. If he lost Pennsylvania on April 24, he would have had no good will, and he would be a political non entity.”

But Schoen said that Romney’s work is just beginning, as confirmed in a  Washington Post/ABC News poll released Tuesday, which shows Romney trailing Obama by a wide margin. “His negative rating exceeds his positive rating,” said Schoen, adding that it’s unclear whether Romney can overtake Obama even with Santorum out of the race.

“He’s proven he can get nominated. He’s not proven he can get elected, and the polls show he’s in a huge hole,” said Schoen.

He noted that former House Speaker Gingrich has effectively suspended his campaign and Paul is not a factor in the nomination battle.

“This is the beginning of the general election campaign, but make no mistake, Gov. Romney’s proven he’s nominatable. He’s yet to prove he’s electable and for Rick Santorum it was bowing to reality,” said Schoen.

Well I think they were mostly ignorant morons to begin with, so yeah.... Most of his supporters only backed him because he was always screaming bout "NOT KILLIN THEM BABIES!" and "CANT LOOK AT DA PORN! MMKAY!", so they just assumed he was deeply conservative and morally just.
I think extreme right wingers who vote solely based on morality are easily fooled.

I really dont like Romney, but I dont know whats worse... Obama with a Repulican controlled Congress... or Romney with no checks and balances... Obama tends to just go around the system of checks and balances anyway so Im kind of leaning towards Romney.

I dont even want to vote for the President this election. I didnt vote last election because I refused to give my vote to either of those 2 shitbags. I could tell Obama was full of shit and I knew Mccain wasn't much better. Im no happier with my choices this election. I know its the lesser of 2 evils... but I just cant figure out which candidate I hate less. Personal liberty and fiscal responsability are my 2 biggest beliefs... and neither of these guys come anything close to that.
