Rick Santorum is sticking by earlier questions he posed about former rival Mitt Romney's authenticity, saying the points he made during the primary campaign were legitimate. Santorum said Sunday "I don't back away from any of those things." Santorum had also argued in March that Republicans should give President Obama a second term because Romney wasn't conservative enough. The former Pennsylvania senator now says "clearly, the difference between President Obama and Mitt Romney is a chasm." Should Romney win in November, Santorum says he would advise Romney if asked but not serve in his administration. He said: "It's pretty much a flat no." Santorum tells CNN'S "State of the Union" that he wouldn't consider working for a Romney administration because his priority lies with his family.

One bum attacking another. Who CARES?
Well, to tell you the truth I can't remember Santorum's history, but I do know he is Christian. I know many people on the right are going to be pissed off when they discover that there are Christians who simply won't vote for a leader of a cult that is so opposed to what Christianity is and that masquerades as "somewhat" Christian. LDS IS ABSURD and it is a huge LIE.
I'll go out on a limb here as well to say I could see the LDS as being the group that is associated with one of the largest if not THE 'ANTI-Christ' (there have been many smaller anti-Christs as we've seen through out history), but there is a real possibility that this CIA, LDS, Presidental contender is that very thing. I don't care what people say, I'm not voting for him.
You are not alone, SJN. I am voting for Ron Paul 2012!
What a waste of a vote Buck. In my opinion (I know you don't give a shit about my opinion but I'm giving it anyway :)) if your not going to vote against Romney you should at least vote for someone on the ballot. Ron Paul votes wont be counted my friend.
Vote for Romney all you want. You shall have nothing but more deterioration about American quality of life. Some of you silly people need to wake up. It is YOUR stinkin' chad punching for one of the two major political party that has DESTROYED America.
I try to convince people to vote in the primaries for people such as Ron Paul. Ron Paul didn't win unfortunately. So I am planning on voting for a piece of shit. I know he sucks. But it is him or Obama. Again unfortunately. I wish it wasn't true but you must admit it is. Buck I would rather vote for you for Presidnet then Romney.
Don't compromise your values. Vote your convictions. Throw the chad-puncher away and send a clear signal to EVERYONE ---
Write Ron Paul in as your Presidential choice 2012! What you propose requires an unshakeable moral core, which cannot be bought at *any* price. Ron Paul is such a man, and he tends to attract other well- educated, honorable men. Thus, your support of him tells me volumes about your character. Here at LF, we have plenty of fair-weather friends who were quite happy to jump on the band-wagon when Paul had a chance (however meager) of winning. It's *easy* to be a revolutionary after the war has begun. Followers that they are, they'll stand by the moral man only so long as they think they're on the "winning" team. When hardships or challenges arise, they'll steal away, like a thief in the night. What have such thieves stolen? Trust and hope, from those whom they stood with. This forum- a microcosm of society- is an indication of how far society has fallen. The forum members, who encourage dancing with the devil, show how utterly weak and feckless most American (so- called) "Patriots" truly are. Those of REAL courage and convictions stand by their values regardless of the price, and despite the risks. But you'll not receive any support here. The mindlessness of the herd is too strong to break through the normalcy biases that drive them. Truly, they would rather *die than think.
So when the Miami dolphins or whoever are eliminated from the playoffs. Do you still instist they should win the super bowl? In the Olympics when a boxer is eliminated by losing the bout. Do you still insist the judges should give him a gold medal? Why not just vote for Ronald Reagan?

In the first place I didn't know Miami had a team anymore, but that aside, Eric is holier than thou and me, and takes a hand grenade to bed with him every night in the bunker down by the creek under the two by.
YOU: So when the Miami dolphins or whoever are eliminated from the playoffs. Do you still instist they should win the super bowl? In the Olympics when a boxer is eliminated by losing the bout. Do you still insist the judges should give him a gold medal? LOL. Once again you resort to the same high-school tactics, to push a losing position. THIS time it's the logical fallacy of a question-begging false analogy. X is similar to y (where the similarity depends for its strength upon some assumption which begs the question). x is P. Therefore, y is P. Really, aren't these childish attempts of yours starting to embarrass you yet??? The comparison in invalid- a bread-and-circuses game with many choices and many teams, without a single purpose beyond boredom-killing, does not correlate to whether someone has a moral core. Getting past your latest silliness, the elitists offer two poisons, one fast- acting, the other more slow and agonizing. You prefer to the take the slow and miserable path. I recognize that both are poison, and refuse both. I refuse to acquiesce to false choices. Allowing yourself to become trapped in a false dichotomy allows others to control you. With regard to the election, it's clear that my vote doesn't have any real meaning, thus whether I vote for Ron Paul carries no weight, with regard to who will occupy the White House. That's the reality, much as I dislike it. On the other hand, I imagine there will be millions who make the same choice as I. WHY? Because the refusal to participate in a patently rigged game robs the elitists of the legitimacy they require to push their agenda. I- and others- will rob them of what they want most... acceptance. Your conscious choice to take one of the poisons, is a fault in your moral character; simply put, you lack the courage to stand by your convictions, and foolishly think you can happily toss your conscious (and morals) out the window, when it is no longer convenient, or when you think nobody's watching... How comforting it must be for you, to simply walk away from your beliefs. How EASY it must be, to willingly sacrifice what matters, because it's easier to fall for a lie, than to stand for the truth... Given your constant threads about religion- the bible, different verses, arguing with other posters- it is clear that you consider yourself a religious man… And you’ll notice I never get into those discussions, because damn-near anything in the bible can be twisted and used to suit a particular viewpoint… But you know what REALLY keeps me away from them??? It’s the fact that such people who are the first to shout at the top of their lungs about some minor point on religion are usually the FIRST to walk away from their stated beliefs, when it really matters… I’ve not stated this before because while I find such hypocrisy detestable, the calling-out of such hypocrisy is almost equally distasteful, and as such, I prefer to stay quiet about such things… Morals and integrity are easy, when things are going well… The TRUE test is when things are NOT going well; does a man remain true to his values, or does he sacrifice his soul, when it is easier than standing for the right thing? You constantly push the religious angles, so you should be familiar with the story of Job… I’ll let it go at that. The truth is that you throw away what you claim to stand for, when such beliefs become a burden. Instead, you revert to "situational ethics," a practice where rationalization of anything can be done, no matter how repugnant, no matter how immoral. Contrary to your apparent self-image as a religious, righteous man… You’re neither.
