Rick Santorum Heading Home Before Florida Primary 2012

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. -- Rick Santorum is tired, almost broke – and going home.

The former Pennsylvania senator is taking a pause from Florida campaigning just days before the Tuesday primary that even he expects to deal him a third consecutive loss.

Santorum says he would rather spend his Saturday sitting at his kitchen table doing his taxes than campaigning in a state where the race for the Republican presidential nomination has become a two-man fight between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.

The cash-strapped candidate acknowledges that he simply can't keep up with the GOP front-runners in Florida.

Trust me, the REST of the world would like it if Santorum just sits at his kitchen table for the rest of his life. At least there he isn't moralizing to people who really don't want to hear it - which is ALL of us!

1. Santorum has dried up?

sorry...

[barbtries]

6. did you know

every time someone makes a joke about his name it triggers my gag reflex?
then, i laugh.

2. On MSNBC

They showed a poll with Santorum with 26% Newt had something like 28% and Mittens 31% so it's anybody's to win at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if Santorum wins, if the poll is right of course.

4. for florida?

3. K&R !!! Yep, keep your rants at your kitchen table, Rick, with a captive audience. Let the rest of

us be.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. However dangerous he does seem sincere and honest...different than MR and NG. I

actually do feel a bit sorry for him. That was the funniest moment of
the repuke debate when he said, "I do my own taxes, and have to
go home to do them on my computer."

[barbtries]

8. he seems sincere and honest,

except he's no better than the rest. and his sanctimoniousness totally gets on my nerves. his racism...remember?

just remember: he only SEEMS sincere and honest, but in reality, he IS a republican.

12. The problem is he wants to create a country using Xtian Sharia Laws

And not the Constitution.

I admire his religious conviction. Unlike Newt's Catholism, where he abides by it when it's convinient, Santorum really does practice what he preaches and is Catholic to the core. The problem is this - our country's constitution is specifically written that says religion is a private matter and should not be regulated by the government, which is what Rick wants to do.

I probably would admire someone like Rick Santorum if he was simply a religious man. But the fact that he wants to force his religious views onto the rest of the country, that makes him a dangerous man instead.

15. yeah, but he failed when it came to the Obama is Muslim crap, even Newt

had a better response when he was asked similar question.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. good point...he totally failed on that one. nt

[RZM]

7. Anybody else think it's odd that a Republican candidate for president

Said he would rather be 'doing his taxes' than campaigning for the nomination? LOL. If that's a cry for help I don't know what is.

9. He's busted! Sing it Ricky!

My bills are all due and the babies need shoes,
But I'm Busted
Cotton's gone down to a quarter a pound
And I'm Busted

I got a cow that's gone dry
And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills
Getting bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away,
But I'm Busted

So I called on my brother to ask for a loan
'Cause I was Busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone,
But I'm Busted

My brother said, "there's not a thing I can do,
My wife and my kids
Are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin' about callin' on you,
'Cause I'M Busted."

Lord, I ain't no thief, but a man can go wrong,
When he's Busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone,
But I'm Busted

Now the fields are all bare
And the cotton won't grow
Me and my family's gotta pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just where, I don't know
'Cause I'm Busted

10. Could this be Stage 1;

Of the process where Ricky drops out, gives his support to Newt, who goes on to win the Republican nomination, and gets the Vice nod?

[gopiscrap]

11. I would love a Newt/Santorum ticket

could you imagine going to their rallies with (for Newt three wives and for Ricky a jar of frothy fecal matter)

[liberal N proud]

13. He is toast

[Motown_Johnny]

14. He should be first in line for 2016 and that is the best

he could have hoped for.

[AlinPA]

17. Just now he was shown in an interview with a Pittsburgh TV station saying that he is not done

and will run in PA where he thinks he will win. Interview was last night, and he said he would be in a different primary state on Saturday
