It seems that Faux Mafia Don Rupert Murdoch and Rushbo were talking up the Santorum, knowing that he would be this year's Fred Thompson, and 1000% likely to lose. If he's the one behind Romney, then Romney it is although you will be the last people to figure it out, as usual.
It must be really nice for the 1% Republicans to always know they can always pull the same schtick to get their Country Club guy in over the So-Cons. You know what they say, you can fool some of the people all of the time, that would be YOU.
Oh and re: "NO ROMNEY NO WAY" give me a break. You absolutely will "hold your nose" this time. And next time.

STOP ROMNEY NOW!!!
This is getting serious folks. We *must* stop this guy.
We can't let Mitt (or Newt) get the nomination.
Along with being way too liberal, Mitt is almost as corrupt as Newt.
Romney and his campaign have paid off just about every politician in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida.
That is how he operates. His campaign shares their campaign contributions by passing some of them along to the campaign funds of politicians they want to influence -- and there are many greedy hands stuck out eager to get their share.
This is bribery -- payola -- downright sleaze.
If Romney makes it a common practice to pay off other politicians, you can be sure that he is getting paid off himself and is indebted to those who throw their money at him. Like every other politician in Washington D.C. he will be serving his special interests, not The People.
BUT...BUT...MONEY IS FREE SPEECH MY FRIEND!
as soon as he is the nominee, they will all say that he is a good conservative and always has been.
I remember, as clear as day, listening to Hannity the day of the 2006 election. He said that the Republicans will win because they "are all good Reagan conservatives." The next day, after the Dems won in a landslide, he said they lost because "the republicans were not good Reagan conservatives." See, it makes sense if you dont think about it.
They will always change their story and then claim consistency is their strong point.

Kind of a cute story, eh? Well, how about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by being arrested for the felony of drug possession? What about the millions of people who are rotting away in your filthy drug infested prisons at this very moment?
Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges. And if you're gonna elect another drug felon as President, you'd better rescind each and every one of your unconstitutional drug laws now on the books, including all of your unconstitutional search and seizure laws, and your asset forfeiture laws, and your laws that enable your unconstitutional snooping into our bank accounts and cash transactions. Well, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You people are sick! Conservatives my ass. You people are nothing but a bunch of non-thinking hypocrits! You're a shame and a disgrace to the Republic!
And, I, for one, am tired of taking orders from cokeheads and felons! Elect another one and I'll tell you what. I'll be ready for war! It'll be time to take up arms and run the filthy lying bastards out!"
