Is Rick Santorum for real?

[El Kabong]

Liberal how? Paul defines what conservatism is IMO.

His stance on the military is very liberal...granted lots of military folk agree with him and if the world was a perfect place I may agree with him too, but aiming to be an isolationist is just naive in this day and age. American isolationism got shot to shit Dec. 7th, 1941....that day made us into a nation that has a say in damn near everything for better or worse.

How is that liberal or isolationist? He is following what the Constitution calls for as the military and he is looking to be non-interventionist instead of isolationist.

He wants to bring 100% of our overseas forces back home. That's all fine and dandy, but the simple fact we have a bootprint on every single continent does help keep some people in line. Strategically it would be unwise to forfit our overseas bases. Wind down the 'War on Terror'? Sure, let's wrap it up because there are other threats on the horizon.

Legalizing all drugs would also be a bit of a leap....legalizing marijuana and taxing it, ok, that's fine, but heroin, cocaine, crystal meth...these would pose problems.

Santorum sounds interesting. Why does he believe that the Dutch kill people as a common practice?

Romney has a lot of money and represent elite corporatism and plans on cutting taxes for his friends in the guise of stimulating the economy. That says it all.

Hope Obama wins.

1. He's a dope

2. What's wrong with "elite corporatism"? Cutting taxes would stimulate the economy! You seem to think that Romney (a guy who went out an earned big bucks at a real job) is a morally corrupt bad person for having money. He's successful, he's successful because in America you can do that, you can run a business and earn your money...Obama has NEVER been held accountable for anything other than grades.

3. Yeah, oddly enough YOU don't have to put up with him....he's a HORRIBLE President....HORRIBLE

You did not have to put up with Maggie Thatcher but you liked her.

We had to put up with Bush because we had the lap dog Blair.

Maggie is rated as one of the greatest Prime Ministers in the history of England...what is there not to like?

George Bush was better than Obama....it's a cold hard fact. Bush inherited a piss poor economy from Bill Clinton and he turned it around right quick. Obama says "We NEED higher gas prices" then denies it, and when we get higher gas prices he does 0 to affect/promote a change in them.....and why is this Well he wants people to buy the god damned electric car which is "electric" in that it runs off a battery but the batteries are charged by COAL....another fuel that Obama is 100% opposed to.

Barack Obama is our affirmative action President, he's done 0 to qualify himself for the job, the media sold him to those idiots out there, and they lapped it up. If Obama was white he would have 0 chance at re-election right now because the economy sucks and gas prices are going to hit $5 a gallon.....might not seem like a lot to you Brits, but that's $2-3 more than we should be paying. Should we increase the supply to bring the cost down? Ooooh heavens no, why what about the Global Warming and "no blood for oil" and solar power.....bunch of liberal panty wastes

[Youngblood]

lol it's going to be fun watching Obama lay waste to the best of another collection of right wing lunatics candidates and the CAPS LOCK loving social conservatives losing the glue ONCE. AGAIN.

That is the opinion of Political academics. The British people would beg to differ. Even The Times on your same wikipedia page rates her at 71 not even in the Top 50. She tore this country apart and turned it from the workshop of the world into a barren, vacuous, money obsessed, shallow wasteland.

[El Kabong]

Actually The Times rated her 5th, the lowest she was rated on any of the lists that wikipedia used was 10th.

She pulled England up by the bootstraps...without The Iron Lady England would be like Greece. So some poor people got pissed off because all of a sudden they were expected to work and produce....lousy welfare bastards!

You are so full of shit. She set in motion the rush to privatization. She caused mass unemployment and closed down many avenues of employment for the working class. As a young man I struggled to find work when she was in power and was massively dismayed that she gleefully joined America in the pointless race for disproportionate nuclear armament. She sold out her class in affecting a snotty accent and spawned a spoilt generation of money obsessed yuppies who became the heartless bankers that fucked this great country over. Thanks Maggie, nice job.

If it makes you feel any better the US is about to take a step back in that direction.

[Mars_ax]

He is off his head on the God delusion. Santorum drinks it in daily and seems completely drunk on the insanity. He seems to be for real. Unfortunately half of the US populace is insane too, so he appears to be somewhat popular.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Unfortunately, I tend to agree with you, but I put it at more like 80%.

[Mars_ax]

What did you guys in The States make of this?

rick santorum Insults the Dutch with his religiously-Inspired Idiocy - YouTube

Santorum is a fundy christian, who has no chance at winning the republican's nomination for president. Unless Romney pulls a major blunder in the next month or so he'll get the republican nod.

BTW, I like Romney's chances in November against Obama, I know i'll be voting for him, it's time to get a little sanity back in the whitehouse.

Just 40% of "whites" voted for Obama in 2008, that means an increase from 60% to 65-70%, of the white vote and Romney should get elected in 2012.

I agree that Romney is a much clearer front runner than the press is making the race out to be.

Republican Delegate Count - Election 2012 - NYTimes.com

Romney has 38.6% of the delegates he needs
Santorum has 15.8% of the delegates he needs
Gingrich has 9.4% of the delegates he needs
Paul has 4.0% of the delegates he needs
Huntsman has 0.2% of the delegates he needs

758 Delegates have cast and 1,528 remain so while it's true that only 1/3 of the delegates have cast
Romney's lead is quite strong. Add to that he has by far the deepest coffers for his own campaign as well as the most well-funded super pac.

Romney needs 47.3% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 805 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 5/8/12
Santorum needs 63.0% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 565 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/27/12
Gingrich needs 67.9% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 490 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/3/12
Paul needs 71.9% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 429 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/3/12
Huntsman needs 74.7% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 386 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/3/12

As shown above Romney has a survivability 2 weeks longer than Santorum and a month longer than any of the other 3 candidates.
