Santorum fails to qualify for Indiana ballot

[Pyroponce]

ABC story

The primary is May 8, so it's a little difficult to guess what the race will look like at that point... One can only wonder how this will affect Dr. Paul 's chances.

[Paul]

Doesn't hurt my feelings

 

[SemperFiUSMC]

Doesn't matter. Either it will all be over by the time we have a chance to vote or it will go to a brokered convention.

Santorum expected to make Indiana ballot - chicagotribune.com

Actually it's considered likely that he WILL make the ballot. He made a good faith effort and Indiana voters clearly supplied him with the required number of signatures. Let's not disenfranchise.

 

[sepe]

Yep, I've seen several places today that said he made the ballot. I still wouldn't vote for him if you paid me 6 figures.

To start out, I am disappointed in the quality of leadership choices in the news right now.
I have a question for those who "WOULD NOT" vote for Santorum, if the choice gets down to obama or Santorum, are you going to vote for the arrogant kenyan?

There will be at least one other choice on the ballot in Indiana. So, you don't have to vote for the current resident of the WH or the Ayatollah. Some states will have even more choices on their ballots. It's not either or.

I will vote for Gary Johnson. Santorum is the worse representation of the Republican party. He wants to control our lives just like Obama, just in a different way. He wants to fight a war with basically all middle eastern countries and uses scare tactics to get the American people to support it (not all middle eastern countries....but you get my point). He supports internet censorship and basically anti-liberty. He isn't even FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE.............................

How would he be better than Obama again?

 

[Scutter01]

Everything out of Santorum's mouth scares the hell out of me. He sounds like a crazy theocrat.

 

[ATOMonkey]

He's not a theocrat. That's just a handy buzzword.

So the man believes in God, big deal.

He's has proven many times over that he's more than willing to compromise his principles.

There are a LOT more reasons to not like the guy.

I'm not using a buzzword. I'm saying that everything he says makes him sound like a man who will work to pass morality laws based on his personal religious beliefs. I have no problem with him believing in God and it is not germane to my comment.

 

[ATOMonkey]

Then that makes all politicians theocrats, as they all want to pass their own morality laws.

Except Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. I only named those two because those are the only ones who won't who have a change to become the next president.

"One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a libertarianish Right. They have this idea that people should be left alone, do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and our regulations low, that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, that we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues. That is not how traditional conservatives view the world."

Don't worry, Ricky didn't really mean that. He was just standing in a room where those particular words had a more interesting echo.

You know that saying about telling yourself (or others) an untruth enough times, it soon becomes "truth".....well.

Maybe he asked the wrong crowd??
