    Hullo! Mr. Santorum's Hat-Trick: Money talks?

    posted at 2/8/2012 3:42 AM EST

    Three more states: Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri.  By my count, if not the first official one in Iowa, that makes four states.  Per the news this morning, Mr. Santorum outspent Mr. Romney in Minnesota and Missouri, and they spent "about the same" in Colorado. 

    In Minnesota... Win: Mr. Santorum. Place: Dr. Paul. Show: Mr. Romney.

    What does this mean?

    (OK, OK...  "Donuts, but no delegates," as they say.)

    I guess if your looking for a candidate who will put an end to social security, medicare, contraception and would force thirteen year old rape victims to bear their rapist's child....then today is a good day for you.

    None of that, of course, will happen if Santorum is elected president but why let an inconvenient fact get in the way of demonizing a Republican?

    The fact is Santorum is an advocate for those positions and certainly his power as president would be checked by the other branches of government, but he has to be elected on his positions and not whether congress and the courts will allow him to acheive them.

    I thought we covered this a while ago...why do any of the lefties on these boards care about Rick Santorum.  He's a nice guy, with very conservative views, and he'll carry a laod for a while, sure.

    He will not be the GOP nominee, period.

    Do you just like to read the moronic things that your write?  Jeebus Cripes!

    Fair point Damian.

    N.B., I am not in Mr. Santorums court.

    Rick is hardly the only one talking SS and Medicare cuts (for eg., Obama).  But his stance on contraception (harms women, not the current Catholic Hospital thingy), is absurd.

    Elaborate?  Thanks.  I'm guessing that you're referring to when he was governor?  Sorry, but if so, I wasn't paying enough attention then.  (Though I probably wasn't alone.)

    And I beat the sht out of him over that.
    It has gone further, as you can know get those pills without parental knowledge or consent.  That kinda bothers me.  KINDA!

    BTW, THIS conservative supports the Roe decision.

    Romney Told Catholic Hospitals to Administer Abortion Pills A defining moment in Mitt Romney’s post-pro-life-conversion political career came in his third year as governor of Massachusetts, when he decided Catholic hospitals would be required under his interpretation of a new state law to give rape victims a drug that can induce abortions. He (Mittens) said his legal counsel had advised him the new emergency contraception law did trump the 1975 conscience law. “On that basis, I have instructed the Department of Public Health to follow the conclusion of my own legal counsel and to adopt that sounder view,” Romney said. “In my personal view, it’s the right thing for hospitals to provide information and access to emergency contraception to anyone who is a victim of rape.” http://www.crisismagazine.com/2012/romney-told-catholic-hospitals-to-administer-abortion-pills

    So it was legal counsels interpretation of the law and not Romney's? In other words Romney followed the law. Ok, cool.

    Mr. Santorum = Anyone-but-Romney


    But at very least his (most symbolic) success will extend the bloody gop cage match a little longer....

    Which brings to mind last week's anyone but: Mr. Gingrich.  As the media has been focusing on Win, Place and Show, there's been nary a word about him.  Had to feel like a gut punch to his campaign(-ers).

    In Response to Re: Hullo! Mr. Santorum's Hat-Trick: Money talks? : I was in no way criticizing you but the hypocrisy of wingnuts in general, and Mittens in particular, and their latest political attacks on Obama over the contraception issue.
    Posted by airborne-rgr


    Romney was pro-choice, and changed his position to pro-life.
    What irks you is that he flipped the wrong way.
    If it was pro-life to pro-choice, that would be 'evolving ' or 'maturing'...  
    So is this 'flipflopping' or 'hypocrisy'? Actually it cant be both...except to attack dogs like you.

    Why worry about what Obama says in his speeches if he doesn't have the power to do it by way of executive order?

    Newt was irrelevant in all three contests yesterday.

    Proving that some states just aren't that crazy....

    In Response to Re: Hullo! Mr. Santorum's Hat-Trick: Money talks? : And then there is his stated position... ...when Romney was running for governor, he filled out a questionnaire for NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts. It said: “Emergency contraception does not cause abortion. Rather, it prevents pregnancy from occurring. Will you support efforts to increase access to emergency contraception?” Romney said: “Yes.”

    Still doesn't change that he followed the law.
