According to Newt Gingrich, “More people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than by any President in American history"
First, let's not forget that one the legacies left to Barack Obama by "W" was a horrible economy with a massive imbalance between the rich and the poor. Maybe if "W" had not created the economic nightmare that he did, there would not have been so many American who NEED food stamps.
Second, I would have thought that Newt would have found feeding the hungry to be a positive "Christian" thing to do.

The Few, the Proud, The Governors of Texas who would be President (or unfortunately were President).
"W" on waterboarding "The lawyer said it was legal."
Rick Perry on the desecration of Taliban corpses "what is really disturbing to me is just, kind of, the over-the-top rhetoric from this administration and their disdain for the military'" and ".. to call it a criminal act, I think, is over the top."
1) If American corpses had been urinated on, what do you think Rick's response as President would have been? Pretty safe bet that there would have been a whole lot more "over-the-top rhetoric" than there was in this case.
2) Rick, The US is a signatory of the Geneva Convention, which is clear with regard to despoiling the dead. Obviously, urinating on corpses is in violation of the Convention, not to mention in violation of common sense and humanity.
3) Most importantly, Perry's comments make it clear that he is not prepared nor capable of being President. Idiotic comments such as his can only harm this country. There is a reason that the world views post "W" America as it does. Time to try and fix that perception, not make it worse.

I am Pro-Life. Yup, Ill say it again proudly, I am Pro-Life. In fact everyone I have ever met is Pro-Life, I don't think I have ever met anyone who is anti-life and I don't think I've ever met anyone who pro-abortion. I have however met a whole bunch of rabid anti-choice reactionaries.
Quick question, how did the radical right con the press into using the term "Pro-Life" to describe them? The truth is clear, we are all pro-life, some of us would just rather let medical decisions be made in private by a doctor and a patient. Either you are pro-choice or you are anti-choice. Period.

The apple doesn't fall far from the political tree.
Federal, state and now local. It is really pathetic to see the vulgar, negative, mean spirited garbage that has trickled down the Republican Party and has now infected the Sherman Republican Town Committee.
George Linkletter spent over 8 years spewing animosity, partisanship and self pity (and could not even carry his own party in past elections). One would however have hoped that after playing Svengali and actually winning an election, he would not be a "poor winner." Oops, guess again, that is not how his (presumed) heroes Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, or "W" would act, so why should he or the Sherman Republican Town Committee act like gentlemen? The RTC's endless litany of nastiness in publications, messages and on their FB page is beyond any imaginable norms of civility.
SRTC, quit the crap, get over it and work for Sherman. What happened to "Together for Sherman?" Get back to us in 2 years. If you have actually accomplished anything and/or done good work for our town, then and only then can you claim success and feel whatever measure of superiority you need to feel. Until then, try less talking and more walking.

After losing his Senate seat, Rick Santorum wasted little time fashioning a lucrative career in the private sector based largely on income from businesses his work in Congress had benefited.

John McCain endorses Mitt Romney for President. Isn't that the same John McCain who endorsed Sarah Palin 4 years ago?
John, your judgment is of, well, to be honest, zero value. You proved 4 years ago that your ego and desire to win at any cost let you pick Palin as a running mate, disregarding the best interests of the country. Nice call then, why should anyone think your endorsement of Romney had any more merit. Hell, most rational people would look at your endorsement as a negative.

And you thought "W" was bad. On one hand we should all hope Santorum gains momentum and wins the Republican nomination, on the other hand be careful what you wish for.
According to Rick "Every American should have access to high-quality, affordable health care, with health care decisions made by patients and their physicians, " EXCEPT Rick is rabidly anti choice.
According to his web site "Senator Santorum fights to preserve this tradition [hunting and fishing], and will work to ensure these rights are not infringed upon." Hey Rick, when was the last time anyone last went fishing with a hand gun or a 55 caliber semi automatic sniper rifle.
His web site promotes "Reining in Spending and Reforming Government Entitlements for Sustainable and Better Solutions for America’s Families and Future" Wasn't Rick a big supporter of the "Bridge to Nowhere?" Yeah, Rick explains in an interview today “Your role as a member of Congress, if you look at the Constitution, is to appropriate money." Huh?
Also on his web site "As a husband and father, Rick Santorum knows the importance of protecting and providing for your family." Among the specific suggestions he has for protecting YOUR family "stop tax-payer funding or promotion of abortion overseas" "Defend the Defense of Marriage Act" "Ban military chaplains from performing same sex marriage ceremonies" "Veto any bill or budget that funds abortion or funds any organization that performs abortions including Planned Parenthood" "Call on Congress to reinstitute Don't Ask/Don't Tell"
And on and on. Hey Rick, why are you so bigoted?
So, do we hope Rick wins the nomination because no country would be crazy enough to elect this clown or do we dread the possibility of this clown winning the nomination because this country is just crazy enough to elect him??
