Obama isn't Christian enough for Santorum. And I must say that it is really interesting seeing a Catholic accuse another Christian of following a theology "not based on the Bible."

lol

Santorum went to my high school. Apparently they released a letter recently saying that they do not endorse or promote him. It's a Catholic school.

I think that they legally cannot endorse or promote him.

Romney went to my brother's high school. He's coming to Michigan pretty soon, isn't he?

Maybe those words were to official. I mean like...they recommend not voting for him. They are kind of against them.

Apparently the GOP are a bit worried about if Santorum actually wins the nomination;

Santorum gets the nomination, Obama wins in a landslide. I don't think Santorum can carry 15 states.

Meanwhile, Ron Paul is attacking Santorum from the right. That's fucking rich.

Yeah, but the problem is, those ads make him look like a clown. I think it's part of the reason no one really takes him seriously.

antigoon · « **Reply #1269 on:** February 21, 2012, 01:01:20 PM »

Eh, I've seen worse this election cycle. People don't take him seriously because he represents a fringe viewpoint, I don't really think it has anything to do with the ads.

Wait until we have a nominee on the Republican side and the PACs get going full speed against Obama.

You ain't seen nothing yet. They don't have much to attack Obama on with the economy picking up steam and the wars winding down so they are going to make some of the biggest and most ridiculous straw men you've ever seen this year.

wolfandwolfandwolf · « **Reply #1275 on:** February 21, 2012, 02:14:13 PM »

As a Christian, I'm pretty appalled that "gays serving in the military" is Perry's main problem with America.

We can make her strong again guys. Just get rid of all of the gays and let the kids pray in the schools. It's what white blonde haired baby Jesus wrapped in an American flag wants.

Wow, the intellectual discourse of election politics has been in a steady decline for years, but this is a new low. We've gotten to elementary school gimmicks.

The best thing about living in Texas is that we're spared most campaign advertising. Of course the tradeoff is that our votes don't count, but then I think that about everybody else in this country, so we come out way ahead.

Well, all those things in the ads are true. It's funny that he claims to be a social conservative, but he covered up the Ensign scandal and he boasted about funding Planned Parenthood.

The ad was pretty stupid though, I liked the Gingrich attack ads MUCH better.

Oh, I know those are true things. I think it's hilarious that Santorum, who is claiming to be the "most conservative" person in the race can easily be attacked from the right by a guy like Ron Paul. I think Santorum believes that his views on social issues give him a great deal of "street cred" among conservatives, but really, his views just make look like a an out of touch misogynistic neanderthal.

PraXis · « **Reply #1281 on:** February 22, 2012, 08:58:31 AM »

Running on social issues equals a guaranteed Obama second term that this country can't afford. After blacks, single women are the biggest voting group for him.

rumborak · « **Reply #1282 on:** February 22, 2012, 09:08:38 AM »

That's really the problem with the GOP field. I mean, there's not a single candidate who doesn't really have a "can not elect" side to him, is there? Romney is too Mormon, Santorum is a misogynist theocrat, Gingrich is just plain nasty, and RP is, well, RP.

*Most* Christians that I talk politics with feel that a vote for Obama is the safest thing they could do in conscience, given the field of Republicans. I am one of those Christians. I voted for him the first time, and I likely will a second.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #1284 on:** February 22, 2012, 11:15:07 AM »

Obama is an interesting president. Liberals don't like him because they say he's not liberal enough, and conservatives don't like him because he's too liberal.

rumborak · « **Reply #1285 on:** February 22, 2012, 11:40:44 AM »

How Obama is "too liberal" is beyond me. There was very little difference between him and Huntsman, and that guy ran for the GOP.

antigoon · « **Reply #1286 on:** February 22, 2012, 12:14:58 PM »

Exactly. The only reason he's too liberal is because of the D next to his name.

Yeah, I really don't get the "too liberal" criticism either.

I'm not denying that he is, but I don't think he is so to the extent of Romney or Gingrich. It's hard to tell if Santorum is, he blabbers too much about religion and his beliefs about how all Americans should behave.
