Why Romney? Gingrich promised $2.50/gallon gas. I haven't heard Romney promise a lower price.

So this whole thing is a sort of Dutch auction now? Lemme get my rudder.

Fine. Booze and a LARGE bowl of popcorn, to go with the weed.

You have to believe that you have a serious fundamental problem in your party when a person who says that one of the core beliefs that the Founding Fathers established for this country makes him want to throw up, can almost beat one of your more "sane" candidates in his own backyard.

Heh, probably not but that was the most racist thing I could thing of. Maybe he makes his bowls out of watermelons?

I think Catholics took a step back when he said Kennedy made him throw up (I am not convinced they were with him in the first place).

Well, yeah. Arizona is loaded with Mormons.

I get so sick of this lie. It's Indonesia. Or Pakistan. Whichever strikes fear into your heart more deeply.

I don't think he is. I think that was sarcastic.

The economy must be doing better or Santorum would have no support whatsoever.

If you can get the man to shut up long enough about OPP you quickly realize he has no economic plan. Everyone else has something out there, heck, Cain had that idiotic 999 plan but Santorum has nothing but vague anti-Obama rhetoric, I can't find details on even undeliverable promises. Look, I know you're going to cut job-creator taxes to the bone while eliminating the deficit, do you mind at least lying to me and telling me how?

That is the strange thing. The Republicans have no economic plan but their only hope is if the economy sucks. The only reason Santorum has any cache is because he can avoid economics and focus on social issues. Granted, they are social issues that have been settled for decades but retards have to vote for someone.

Thanks, but unamused explained what SOS is without me having to ask what a Ruth Johnson is. Plus unamused updated the numbers.

God no. If they presented a plan, people might expect them to follow it.

Hey there voter,
Remember when gas prices were high under W.? And Republicans defended high gas prices with this response..."BE GRATEFUL.. YOU COULD LIVE IN LONDON AND PAY $10 A GALLON!" Obama '12

Here's what a small section (new window) of 65,000 people looks like. That's the number who actually voted for Gingrich.
Just let that sink in. But don't let them near your kids.

Lando Lincoln: Lord knows my parents are ashamed to call themselves Catholics right now because of Santorum.

You would think there might be another reason. Something that has been talked about quite a lot in the past few years.

tenpoundsofcheese: I don't care either way.
I just enjoy the derp that he only wins his home state as if he lived there sometime in the last 25 years and that his "home state" is somehow significant.

Father Romney ran a big company in Michigan, he ran and served as governor in Michigan. Family name is a big deal on ballots. Bush and Kennedy for starters, many more that don't have national recognition.

And I think most people would consider all places they spent a significant time in their home. For Obama/Romney, Hawaii/Michigan is his childhood home, Illinois/Massachusetts his parenthood home.

Yup. And if anything is important it should be how you did in the state in which you actually did things vs. just happen to be born in and attended elementary school and high school.

Losing to Santorum in MA would mean a lot more than losing in Michigan.

How can anyone say Mitt won big time in Mich? The shear fact that Rick had over 300k votes from the repub base clearly shows a split. Bottom line when you combine the votes for Newt and Rick it shows a large group of the Republican voting block that is out of their mind and it has to scare the moderate Republicans to share a political group with those people. There is no spin here, at least 50% of the republican voters in Mich want that crazy conservative crap to come into reality and I'm not talking fiscal conservatism, let that sink in.

Man, just when the internet forgot about Tubgirl, we get this Snatorum meme. So annoying!

Aren't the "Santorum" jokes getting al ittle passé ? I mean, come on mods.

Mugato: That is so lame that people vote for the candidate who happens to be from the town they're living in. Then again, I can't explain the sports fan mentality either.

Totally agree. I can almost grasp the "I want a guy I'd grab a beer with" mentality, in the sense that assumably someone who would hang out in that voter's group of friends would want to protect their lifestyle and interests, however I don't get at all the anti-elitism attitude. To paraphrase Jon Stewart, we're looking for the president of the USA. We want the most elite motherfarker in the room.

He made his career in and was governor of a different state.

Because he was born there, his father is still worshiped there,

why is 0bama's home state Illinois then?

It's not. His home state is Kenya.

That's the 57th state, amirite?

Because many people, especially on the left, seem to be looking for a daddy figure to baby them and take care of them and tell them that things will be all right and to give them things.

That's why when people tell the harsh truth about a difficult issue (jobs ain't coming back) they get trounced in the polls.

What's interesting, since the last spike in gas prices, American oil consumption has dropped.

Politics aside, this is a good thing.

Credit market collapsed, meant it became a lot more expensive to borrow money to speculate on oil futures. That speculation was the only reason oil prices, and with them gas prices, went up like they did.

GDISM. My facebook page is littered with those piece-of-shiat sticky notes. I ignored them at first, and finally visited the fan page, 'sticky-note gas n grocery movement' or something like that. I tried to be polite and engage in a diplomatic discussion on how gas prices are determined and blah blah blah but after a few posts, I was banned from the gd page. About a minute later, some derpy wench said something to the effect of, "I love how these notes are making the whacked out dem libs go crazy! Keep it up!" sumbiatch. If I ever see one of those notes in person, I'm going to blow a snot rocket on it.

Only time I see them on my facebook newsfeed is when a friend posts it from some page mocking it or pointing out the flaws in it. Why yes I am glad my friends are all sane, why do you ask?

Not only that. The dollar going to crap and the increase in world wide demand had roles in oil prices going up also.

If at the beginning of 2011 you did a ranking of "States friendliest towards a Romney Primary Republican run" Massachusetts would be a clear #1, but Michigan and the Mormon states would have been miles ahead of the rest.
