Thank you Sarah for defending Rick!! I know if I was in his shoes, I would have done the same thing. These LSM pulled the same crap w/ you!! Now Rick is feeling the heat!!! These stupid media will do anything to twist words & lie about Rick & he defended himself!! That which is the right thing to do!! Many other candidates supporters rather see him Sit & Shut Up!!! Rick Didn't Retreat, He is fully Reloaded & now kicking butts!! Way YOU Go Rick!!! DON'T LET THE MEDIA OR ANY OTHER CANDIDATE SUPPORTERS TELL YOU OTHER WISE!!

Sarah & Rick are the best!! SANTORUM 2012!!!

Extending the Liberal Justices argument on Obama Care to guns: Criminology proves that the crime suppression effect of the armed portion of the public is just about on the order of the crime suppression effect of our police agencies, so people who refuse to buy guns are part of the crime control problem. We must mandate that they buy guns and tax them if they don't.

I find it ironic that this is news worthy, but being an accessory to the murder of Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata, and over 300 others isn't in Fast and Furious. Yes, Obama and Holder, and their ilk, did this while trying to frame American citizens.

In addition, the man in the White House is more than likely an African born, Indonesian citizen, but, b___l s__t, what does that matter. Who cares if he's running our wars, where we lost twenty Navy Seals, a CIA Drone landed in Iran, and 60% of all the deaths in Afghanistan have occurred.

Who cares if this African Usurper is more than likely working for the Weather Underground and Muslim Brotherhood, both groups that are prominent in Chicago.

Here's some new info. Some INS documents that they missed. This was found in a library record in Boston the other day. Only one baby born in East Africa to a U.S. mother during the time Obama was born. Hmmm. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. After all he said so, right?

INS DOC FOUND: U.S. CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO ONE

I also find it irritatingly amusing that Rick Santorum points outs Mitts time as governor as a flip flopper and a liberal. Well if he is going to run on issues then he needs to come clean with his own bit of dirty laundry.

Rick Santorum is known as the great pork senator

While running for Senate he said, insisting nonetheless that he is not a Reagan Republican.

He also said while running for Senate he ascribed himself as a "progressive conservative" in his campaign manual!

Santorum said he supported programs like Head Start and the health and education service that he now says is "not particularly impressive."

He was also hanging out with the K-street gang back in the day! That should score one for not having ethics.

Voted five times to raise the debt ceiling

Santorum also said that intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes. Then he changed his mind and said he was not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom.

Santorum was named the Most Corrupt Politician by a political watchdog group in 2006.

And you know this......how? Was it from Media Matters?

I thought that crown belonged to Obama from the time he became State Senator, with his reign being over in November, 2012.

Did you know that if the Senators didn't take the earmark spending, that one of the unconstitutional agencies would decide where it should go? I didn't agree with earmarks until I heard that.

John McCain is a closet socialist, yet he never takes earmarks. But look at everything else he's done. McCain/Feingold, NDAA, etc.

Newt if my guy. He's a warrior and they are intimidated by him. The media stutters and stammers when they interview him, because he's too smart and quick for them. I wouldn't fault Rick Santorum too much for the earmark thing though.

Romney would be a disaster. He's a socialist. You aren't a "Conservative/Constitutionalist," if you vote for Romney. I think too many people call themselves Conservative thinking that it means Republican. He never mentions the Constitution, I don't think he's ever read it. Is he interested in learning it? Has he ever read the Declaration of Independence? Newt knows our founding, inside and out. Romney appears to think singing a few bars of God Bless America qualifies him. I would vote for him as a last resort, but if you want someone who's smart and would kick their butts, Newt is who you want. They fear him.

Romney/Romneycare He said he created this with "My good friend Ted Kennedy?"

Romney gave cars with AAA memberships to welfare recipients. He even allowed them to keep them if they went off of welfare.

Romney Gave Free Cars To Welfare Recipients As Governor

http://whynotromney.blogspot.com/2012/02/romney-gave-free-cars-to-welfare.html

Romney worked with John Holdren who works for the African usurper's unconstitutional agency, the EPA. He believes it would be ok to put something in the water to sterilize people. I think he should be renamed, Dr. Mengele.

Come on folks, cursing, no matter who it comes from is a loss of control. Is that presidential? I like Bush, but I did not like it when those words escaped his mouth. Besides, if you are interviewing a candidate for a job, most people are automatically eliminated if they curse during the interview. No matter who it was about, this was not a very presidential act.

The goading NYTimes idiot was not interviewing him for the job of President.

He was "interviewing" him for The GOP Primary Daily Gotcha LSM Headline of the Day.

Strong character but let's not mince words; profanity in any instance is not right. What I find ironic is most times it's a liberal cursing conservative females (aka Sarah Palin) for just being female or conservative black men (aka Herman Cain) for just being black.

Ironically, in this case it's a conservative cursing a liberal for doing what is normal to them - twist the truth, slander, arouse contention AKA just being a liberal!! LOL

".. twisting a conservative's words, putting words in his mouth, taking things out of context, and even just making things up..."

Yep, both Gov. Palin and Santorum have experienced the LSM SpinSpeak over the years.

Good to see her support for Santorum here! Thank you, Gov. Palin!

Liberal fraud from Massachusetts spent $50 millions of his own loot in 2008.

This year in Florida alone he spent with his CPAC(made of 16 billioners +)

$20 million dollars.

Newt had 200 TV and radio ads.

Romney had 13,000.

200 vs 13,000 !!!

For every Newt's ad Romney had 65 vicious lies,Alinsky style !!!

The ONLY thing Willard has going for him is his own money and the moneys

of his Corrupt Crony Capitalist friends from Wall Street Den of Thieves.

It never fails! Run a story on Sarah Palin and watch the boards light up! Love her or hate her, people respond to her. No one else, not even Obama, gets the airplay that Palin does. Even Ronald Reagan didn't get the responses that Palin does. For someone without a title, for someone who is a private citizen, folks certainly react to her.

The left hates her with a passion. Constitutionalists love her with a passion.

She must be doing something right!

Now if she'll just get into the game!

You know what's ridiculous? This story has 600+ comments. With all the serious issues we have going on today, THIS post about the use of the word Bull$#it by one of our candidates is what's being talked about. Fighting with each other about a word I've heard my Baptist preacher grandfather use a time or two.

Yeah for conservatism!

I'm giving myself a time out before I flip out and start using the word Bull**** without asterisks!

Look at the number of comments!

Sarah Palin's 'likes' on facebook: 3,310,356

Talking about her latest post: 79,687

Her tweets sometimes have as many as 12,000 followers

Her CPAC speech was standing room only.

As a VP candidate she drew 20-60,000 people to events.

It is refreshing to find a real courageous, consistent, clear, Christian conservative.

People are obviously hungry for truth.

Probably more like DESPERATE.

Makes you wonder why she's not running, doesn't it!

I like Newt and Rick and even Ron Paul. Romney, well, not at all. I dispise Obama. These five men are seeking the highest office in the land. While Romney is ahead in delegate count, he is the least desirable of the four repubs.

I wonder how the numbers would change if Palin threw her hat in?

Just my opinion but I think she'd win in a landslide over the guys.

creeper00
creeper00

She's not running because the nonstop onslaught by the media drove her negatives up too high.

You do understand, don't you, that our candidates are all selected by the media?

virginiagentleman1
virginiagentleman1

Hello creeper00! Thanks for taking the time to reply!

I want to address both of your points.

First off, I view the media onslaught against Palin somewhat differently then you do. While the attacks on her are still non-stop, she is rising in the peoples conscienceness. Most want to know why there is so much vitriol and hate leveled at her by the left and the establishment-elites. As they research her positions she gains more followers, which is exactly the opposite of what her adversaries intended. She is gaining strength with each new attack, not losing strength. It is quite obvious that the left and the establishment are at their lowest levels ever. Their plans to take her down keeps blowing up in their faces.

Secondly, yes I do understand that our candidates are being selected by a failing and biased media. I also understand that the media can no longer be trusted to present facts over political fiction.There is no longer a truely free press in America, therefore their reporting is unimportant and unnessessary to my decisions.

I prefer to get my facts and opinions straight from the persons mouth and not filtered thru the media. Palin, unlike Obama, Romney, Santorum and to a lesser degree Gingrich and Paul, almost never steps on her own tongue, creating gaffes that have to be walked back! The same cannot be said of the others. They spend more time correcting their gaffes then they did with their original statements! There are hundreds of examples to choose from!

The convention in Tampa will nominate someone who has a majority of voters and delegates behind them, a candidate of the people, and not a party hack or elitest.

Stay tuned my friend. It's about to become interesting!

What Ricks comment expressed was also our feelings of the media. Anytime we watch any of the LSM channels we know what they say is bs.

The race is not over yet. There is a phrase that comes to mind : "don't count your chickens before they're hatched." Does Romney have greater chances of winning the nomination? Sure. Has he gotten the magic number of 1144? No. The race is not over until the nominee is officially declared.

Well, of course she does--it's used to always work so well for her. That is, until people actually got to know her better and judged for themselves. You see how far it got Newt Gingrich. If you want to be POTUS--stop whining. Life isn't FAIR.

Juliann F. Cornwall
Juliann F. Cornwall

I judged for myself and actualy took the time to get to know her better but it looks like you haven't. She herself said that a recomendations aren't worth a hill of beans each person will decide for themselves who the GOP nominee will be. Then she will get behind who ever that is any of the 4 of them are better than what we have now. They asked, she answered. There is a lot more in play here than we will ever know. Who is whining here, Stop and look in a mirror and ask if you are you being FAIR. May I suggest you watch The Undefeated. It is available on Netflix. Then come and tell me about life not being fair.

Armyspouse1988

Actually, I used to be a HUGE fan of Sarah Palin. Yes, I took the time and got to know her WELL--and that's why I no longer support her. Remember, actions always speak LOUDER than words. She has beat the "media conspiracy plot against her" to death. It doesn't explain why the majority of people no longer take her seriously--and she has done FAR MORE damage than good to the conservative cause.

Armyspouse1988
Armyspouse1988

I came to a totally different conclusion. I don't think Sarah Palin has accomplished a great deal or is smart enough to be POTUS, just as I know Barack Obama isn't smart enough. The only difference is, Sarah Palin was properly vetted--Obama WAS NOT. Does that mean that either are qualified to be the most powerful person in the world? NO. He got a break, she did not. I also think that she frightened votes AWAY from John McCain--as I know you'll disagree, but several people told me that they could not vote for him because of her. I voted for McCain, because even with Palin, it was better than Obama/Biden--and I certainly don't regret it.

Let me get this straight. You were a HUGE fan of Palin's when she was being massively aligned and falsely accused by the media? Then you took the time to find out how much she has really accomplished in her life? And NOW you don't like her? Is that right? Really? You're gonna go with that?

MiketheMarine

Please, lady. Every word the MSM has said negatively about Palin has been proved wrong and Palin proved right including the Paul Revere comment. She is usually right but, for some reason half this country just loses their minds when they hear her name.

Armyspouse1988

100% EVERY word, Mike? C'mon. When Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin what she read--Palin couldn't answer it ( I guess she doesn't read, or whatever), and went ballistic about some "gotcha" media conspiracy against her. How was that NOT a fair question? I have a friend who is a librarian, and she routinely asks this to people she wants to get to know better. The items you are willing to spend your valuable time (especially Sarah Palin) speaks VOLUMES about who she is. It was a FAIR, INSIGHTFUL QUESTION. Sarah Palin looked foolish, and this was her cover. A lot of her failings is her own fault. I still have yet to understand why she resigned as Governor of Alaska. To do reality TV or write books and play rockstar? Whatever....?

Nukeman60
Nukeman60

When she was asked that question, about what she read, she answered the way she did because she wasn't trying to promote any particular magazine/newspaper. Does it matter which particular media outlet she reads? And did you watch the entire interview, or just the edited version of Courics, that made her look bad and left out the logical answers?

Armyspouse1988
Armyspouse1988

Couric asked Palin to list some things she reads. Here's the Youtube Link on the actual exchange between the two.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y

Palin considered this a "gotcha" question--the same attitude expressed by Rick Santorum yesterday. Complete BS--it was a fair question. I'm sure Maobama could have answered that question had it been asked of him. As politicians, they should be routinely reading briefing books on issues (state or national) prepared by their staffs. That was one of the things Sarah Palin REFUSED to do throughout the campaign. Too busy playing rockstar and ginning up false conspiracies, I guess.

That is so not true-unfortunately her beauty has probably rendered you useless in being able to see she doesn't know everything like some of her followers think and she did MISPEAK about Paul Revere-although I believe she just didn't get the words out the way she meant them...what she said about that Paul Revere was just ridiculous-honestly I would have done the same thing-off the cuff she isn't very good at those things-reading a prepared statement she can do!

MiketheMarine

Apparently due to CPAC we have some new folks that just aren't up to speed backing up their statements, yet. I do have hope for a few of them but, like most voters they seem to believe the crap they hear on the MSM. Not us, Amy. You go girl!

MiketheMarine

Wrong, but rather than do the liberal thing I will stick to facts and an example. Paul Revere wrote in a letter which still exists that "All his ride accomplished was to warn the British of the local militia. Facts, lady, not platitudes, please.
