Speaking of Newt- why isn't he campaigning in Michigan?
Does Santorum want to ban condoms too?
:confused:
Until I saw last nights debate, I didn't realize just how pro-war these candidates are, with the exception of Ron Paul. Let's attack Iran because they might have a nuclear bomb. Yeah, that would really bring the price of oil down. Haven't we learned anything from the last ten years of war? The people making money off of war don't want it to end. It's all becoming rather obvious why they want to perpetuate it.
It is quite humerous, for sure.
old guy, you nailed it.
Only in America can politicians attack an opponent for the high price of gasoline, while promoting war with Iran, and not be perceived as foolish and unelectable.

That's the thing about the modern catholic church; the penances are so inconsequential. Saying a rosary is a biggie. So confessing this whopper will probably only rate a few prayers and a lame retraction like " I was only kidding."
As a good 13th c. mind, Rick should be demanding a return to sackcloth and ashes.

"...Romney may, however, need to do what Kennedy did when he ran for office. Romney might want to make a major speech saying that if elected, his only loyalty would be to the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, he probably needs to do something else, too. Recently, members of the Mormon faith have been offending people and making headlines by the bizarre practice of “baptizing” Jews killed in the Holocaust and elsewhere. Think how you would feel if someone announced they were posthumously inducting your dead mother into their religion. Mitt Romney doesn’t need to intervene in his church’s affairs.
But it might be helpful if he told the American people he found this an appalling practice, and called on other Mormons to stop..."
There's a reason why George Romney was born in Mexico. The family was run out of the U.S. because they were polygamists . This article doesn't say how many wives Mitt's grandfather had.

Surely you've heard how Paul Ryan associates his financial politics with his Catholic faith. Is he still viable as a VP selection for Romney?
Quote:

A person’s faith is central to how they conduct themselves, in public and in private, so to me, using my Catholic faith, we call it the social magisterium, which is: How do you apply the doctrine of your teaching into your everyday life as a lay person?
One can only hope.

Rachel Maddow: Racism revelation hits close to home for Romney campaign
At 6:45 notice Arpaio's shifty eyes.
Romney may well have this thing almost wrapped up. However, Ron Paul has just won the majority of delegates from Louisiana.
“We congratulate Ron Paul supporters for apparently capturing their first state delegation in this Presidential election cycle through an excellent get out the vote effort today,” stated GNOR Chairman Sarah Roy. “However, the result of this ill-conceived and confusing caucus clearly does not represent the will of the vast majority of Louisiana Republican voters as Ron Paul recently received only six percent of the vote in the Louisiana Presidential Primary.”

Yesterday, The Alaska Republican Party elected Ron Paul supporters for the chair, co-chair, secretary and treasurer next year. Paul supporters occupied 16 of 19 delegate slots filled in congressional district selection in Romney's home state of MA.
"In just the last week, Paul locked up 49 delegates, including five in Pennsylvania and four inRhodeIsland, two states thought to be firmly on Romney's turf. In Minnesota, Paul won 20 of the 24 delegates awarded at last weekend's district caucuses, an impressive sweep that guarantees that Paul will control a majority of the state's delegation at the Republican National Convention.
And despite staunch opposition from the state Republican Party, Paul took 20 of the 40 delegates awarded in Missouri last weekend, according to campaign chairman Jesse Benton.
In at least five other states — Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Washington, and Maine — Paul has done remarkably well at county and district conventions, and his supporters are expected to win a big chunk of the RNC delegates at the state conventions later this spring." http://www.businessinsider.com/ron-paul-winning-delegates-missouri-minnesota-colorado-washington-2012-4#ixzz1tUHTkrSy
Ron Paul rallies keep getting bigger too; unlike Romney's
Why does Louisiana have both a primary and a caucus????
I'm not sure. Every state party makes up its own rules. Some primaries are just beauty contests as is apparently Louisiana's. North Dakota also had a beauty contest but instead of caucuses to determine the delegates, the party bigwigs there chose all the delegates for Romney. In Wisconsin, where I live and is typical, most of the delegates are chosen based on the primary results by congressional district. My district voted Santorum so our three delegates have to vote for Santorum in the first round. However, at the district caucus, one of the three delegates chosen was a Paul delegate. He is supposed to vote for Santorum in the first round but after that will support Paul. In addition, a smaller number of WI delegates are chosen by party insiders.
Romney may well win in the first round but if he doesn't, the convention could get interesting. There is some talk about abstaining from voting for the chosen candidates in the first round of voting. The federal government, by the way, has just given Charlotte and Tampa $50M each for crowd control.
According to Newt Gingrich, Romney:
- is a liar who cannot be honest with the American people
- was in charge at Bain Capital while it looted and mismanaged companies
- is hiding details of his financial portfolio
- is anti-immigrant
After suspending his campaign today, Newt Gingrich is now urging support for severely conservative Mitt Romney. Now Romney and the RNC have offered to be helpful in retiring Gingrich's $4 Million debt. According to The Daily Paul, Gingrich's staffers and creditors are worried they will never be paid.
Former Republican candidate Michele Bachman has become a Swiss citizen. This news is not from the Onion. I hope she doesn't know something that we don't. Maybe she is just looking for a tax shelter. Apparently, she is now a dual citizen and can retain her job in the House. Does anyone have a Ricola?
I sure hope so........:p
