I heard Quinn this morning arguing that it was ok and fully excusable for Santorum to have supported the RINO Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey years ago when Toomey challenged Specter in the Republican Primary solely because their were Supreme Court Justices up for nomination and that the implication was that Toomey could not win. Why? Because he was a conservative? I could not believe that I was hearing that! It is so stupid! Santorum sold out the conservative principles we are told he supposedly holds dear to support a RINO! This is the sort of excuse making that causes me to wonder what he is thinking sometimes and I he really thinks through his comments!

- Deeply Frustrated!

Denny

Ok, for people outside of Pittsburgh, Quinn is a local conservative radio talk host who is syndicated nationally.

Let me say that I completely agree with Denny on how frustrating it is to hear excuses being made, not just for Santorum but all the current GOP candidates, for their non-conservative actions in the past. I don’t know why we just cannot call a spade a spade. Let’s say honestly what Santorum did in the Specter/Toomey primary. He towed the party line. He chose political expedience over principles which we are told he has. Although a review of his record calls those claims into serious question. Sure, he leans right but when he goes to the dance he often sometimes goes home with a liberal on his shoulder.

I don’t know why we have to tip toe around the truth that is as plain a s the ears on Obama’s face.

But you know what bothers me most about Rick Santorum? It is the sanctimonious attitude he takes towards anyone who has the audacity to bring up his real record on the issues. He is now running around poo-pooing criticism of his earmarking for unconstitutional purposes after the spotlight has been turned on him thanks to be recent sweep of Minnesota, Colorado an Missouri. The smugness with which he talks down to those who seek to reveal the true Santorum from behind the facade he has tried to create is just a turn off. Just like it was a turn off for me whenever Herman Cain would try to spin out of his support for TARP.

My advice to Mr. Santorum, which I guarantee he won’t take, would be to just fess up an admit that he violated the Constitution frequently while in Congress. At least I could respect him for that.

Santorum leans right. He may even be our best option available to us as conservatives. But is is not one of us. He’s about 70% one of us. No more.

Uh, have you losers ever tried just not being a bunch of whiney-ass drunks? Just saying. It might actually solve your problems you know. No, no, no that can’t be right. It must be the fault of someone else! That’s what the liberals say!

Other than Georgia, which has 76 delegates available on March 6th, and which looks like Gingrich’s to lose being his home state and all, Ohio has a nice prize of a proportional share of 66 delegates available to the winner.

There is a little bit of fogginess over total delegates held by each candidate right now. When you count all delegates, binding and non-binding, Romney has 90, Santorum has 44 and Newt has 32. Despite Santorum’s win in Missouri the primaries are just a formality and the state’s 52 delegates will not be awarded until caucuses on March 17th, meaning he cannot benefit from them in this count. There will also no doubt be a flooding of the caucuses by Paulbots who will try to sneak away as many delegates for Ron Paul as possible.

Santorum really needs a win in a state like Ohio to keep any momentum he may have going.

Meanwhile Pepsi is announcing that it is going to part ways with 3% of its labor force, 8,700 jobs, because of inflation in commodity prices and a need to increase its focus on advertising. Well … must just be a glitch in the Matrix right? Everything is going swimmingly isn’t it?

GOP lawmakers are proposing thatillegal immigrants be prohibited from claiming the child tax credit on their tax returns. Most Americans would no doubt be shocked to learn that people who are in this country illegally, a criminal offense, are actually able to file taxes and get to take advantage of tax credits like this without being caught. Well, they are.

Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, whined about the issue as Fox News Reports:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada says the proposal unfairly goes after the children of poor Hispanic workers.

No, it goes after illegal immigrants Mr. Reid. Period. These people are criminals and the Democrats are once again laying down covering fire for them because they don’t want to offend said criminals.

Why aren’t these people caught and deported when they file their tax returns? The IRS should adjust the approach it is using and be more effective in helping us weed out criminals which should be easy enough to catch in this technological day and age. Especially when they openly announce themselves. The only logical conclusion is that the IRS is willfully looking the other way on this issue.

If you chose to vote for him, understand that. If you don’t he will sorely disappoint you when you realize it later on.

Kathy never was all that bright. Had she just done a little research into the bill and what liberals she pals around with were saying she would have clearly known all along that this was their intention of the legislation. This sort of thing is essentially a plank of the Democratic Party platform!

Thank God she no longer has any hands on the reigns of power. Now, about the rest of those dimbulb Democrats in Congress … November is coming.
