Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but fucking lol:

Rick Santorum: "I Was Basically Pro-Choice All My Life, Until I Ran for Congress"

Article is from 1995, but it's hilarious looking back now

Just saw Huntsman on the Charlie Rose show. Man, he's incredibly well spoken, intelligent, and rational. It's a shame he wasn't given a shot in the Republican field.

He had the audacity to take a position from Obama. That made him a Benedict Arnold in the eyes of Republicans.

Well, it's pretty much over in Michigan and Arizona. Looks like Romney gets the sweep. It's a shame, hopefully we'll hear more batshit crazy ideology from Santorum as he tries to play catchup.

Given the nature of your religion, in the event you do run, I'd avoid using the word 'cross'.

Sorry

but wait, can you dial the crazy up past 11? i thought it only went up to 11.

He didn't exactly sweep Michigan, unless you mean compared to Gingrich. I hope this is enough for The Joker's husband to drop out now, but he'll probably hang on for one last round of "LOL no" from the voters.

If Gingrich drops out now, Santorum is going to get a major boost. It's probably Rick's only shot, he desperately needs to be "the only true conservative" candidate.

He was an afterthought by the time the Iowa caucuses closed. If the GOP wants to win the presidency in the near future, they need to move the NH primary and the IA caucuses to the same day so that moderates who choose to skip Iowa aren't practically forgotten about for the first two months of the primary season, or just move Virginia up front.

Gingrich has too big of an ego to drop out, unless he is seriously crippled by lost funding or leaned on heavily by back room players I don't seeing him leaving soon.

He was just given $10M to stay in the race and split the evangelical vote for Romney.

he's banking on the primary bonanza on March 6th, home state of Georgia which he should easily win and other members of the Southern bloc where he has a fighting chance; recall his dominant South Carolina victory

if he fails to gain any traction his campaign is over and he knows it, if he wins a couple states he'll prolly stay in for a minute and prevent the anti-Romney forces from coalescing

Nothing like keeping the masses stupid while you hoard education for yourself.
