Santorum: 'We will not compromise' "for a hollow victory in Novermber" (CPAC)

[denem]

NY Times : The Caucus

(Santorum) said that in the past “we listened to the voices who said we had to abandon our principles and our values to get things done, to win.”

“We hear those same voices today,” Mr. Santorum said. “We need to compromise, do what’s politically reasonable.”

“I think we have learned our lesson,” he said to raucous applause. “We will no longer abandon and apologize for the principles that made this country great for a hollow victory in November.”

Go Rick. Never compromise, reject reasonable politics, all the way the a Goldwater victory in November.

1. Oh, I'm quite sure that you will not have a hollow victory in November, Rick.

[denem]

2. I'm suggesting he wants a Goldwater victory.

[tanyev]

4. Maybe he can do even better and get a 50 state sweep.

3. Best wishes for a rich, full-bodied trouncing. nt

5. I agree, Rick, march onward to a principled, solid defeat.

The logic with the FReeps and wingnut gasbags seems to be the Republican Party can only win by staying true to their conservative principles. Good, don't compromise....run on your vision of the perfect conservative State. Then, when you lose by the largest landslide in modern times, you've got another 4 years to think about the message you were sent.

13. And don't forget to then say...

Our candidate wasn't conservative enough!

6. another campaign ad for Obama when it's Romney vs. Obama

"Hey conservatives, Rick Santorum says that Romney winning would be a HOLLOW VICTORY. Discuss among yourselves."

7. Ironically, Barry Goldwater wouldn't stand a chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination today

He might have a shot at the general election, though.

8. That man is an idiot nt

9. If he gets the nomination, his tune will change.

It always happens. Its politics.

[denem]

14. That's what they said about Goldwater.

He didn't relent nor compromise.

10. Outstanding article!!!

Heh heh, he said "reasonable". Hey Beavis, heh heh ,do you think he even knows what the word means? Heh heh heh

Ohhh, no, I don't think he does. Heh heh, Cornholio knows Santorum doesn't know what reasonable means. I need more teepee for my bunghole. Heh heh heh.

Yeah, heh heh, I think Santorum needs more teepee for his bunghole. Heh heh.

Heh heh, yeah, heh heh, he does, heh heh.

Heh heh, he is such a butthead, heh heh

Heh heh yeah, he is a butthead, heh heh.

12. I wonder if this guy is a strict creationist?

That would be an interesting question during a debate.

15. Unlikely. The Catholic church accepts evolution,

and mainstream cosmology. John Paul II endorsed the Big Bang as God creating of the universe.
