UNLIMITED GOP 2012 PRIMARY CANDIDATE THREAD

[AFK]

Oh well yeah...so now I'm wondering--what backer PULLED OUT!

Other reporting I've read or heard said that staffers were pretty miffed that instead of campaigning, Newt and his wife decided to go on week long cruise around the Greek islands.  That is, they are miffed that Newt's wife decided this.  Apparently, Mrs. Gingrich is really calling the shots for the campaign.  Not the actual professionals who (kind of) know what they are doing.

Holy fucking shitloads of lail:

CNA: Are we completely unaware of what's going on in our backyard in this regard?

Sen. Santorum: Almost completely. I was talking about Venezuela and Hugo Chavez long before most. In fact, I was criticized in my 2006 race for being alarmist by raising the possibility that Iran might be working with Venezuela to plant terrorist cells in our back yard [bold mine-DL]. You look at his alliances with Iran now, you look at Hezbollah in Latin America now, and then you look at the weakened state of our border, yes. If we don't wake up ourselves we are going to be woken up by others. I have been saying this for years now, and working to wake Americans up. My weekly alert was called "The Gathering Storm" for a reason.

What he actually said:

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MzZmYWUyNWYzNThlM2UwZGY0ZmUxYmI5NTIyMTJjYWU=

Did you know that Venezuela is the leading buyer of arms and military equipment in the world today? Did you know that Chavez is building an army of more than a million soldiers and the most potent air force in South America-the largest Spanish-speaking armed force in history?

Did you know that Venezuela will shortly spend thirty billion dollars to build twenty military bases in neighboring Bolivia, which will dominate the borders with Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil? The bases will be commanded by Venezuelan and Cuban officers. This is what the brilliant Carlos Alberto Montaner-a survivor of Castro's bloody regime-calls "a delirious vision of history," and it is driven by a new alliance of dictators from Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.

It is part of the grand design so proudly announced by Ahmadinejad: the destruction of our civilization

I'm calling bullshit on that.

Newt's campaign a lost cause regardless or not if his latest wife was interferring.  That Newt's advisors apparently only realized this a few days ago says more about their so-called skills than it does about her.

Rats and sinking ships.  Nothing more to this.

Santorum, discussing his "Google problem." 

http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/09/ricks-right-there-are-vile-people-out-there

actually, part of the point of that right from the beginning was to be a hedge bet against Dirty Ricky's future ambitions.

If I were him, I'd be asking Dan Savage if the offer that was made to take it down was still open.  For the low cost of $5 million, donated to the Freedom to Marry gay rights group, the site would just go away.

If he did that, then he would totally alienate the people who are still willing to vote for him.  

So yeah, I would also like for him to do it.

Me too, but it will never happen.

Even if he ponied up the $5 million, there's no way to remove it from wikipedia, urban dictionary, and common usage.

No, but it'd take down the site that hits the top of every major search engine when his name is Googled.  But, true, damage done.

I'd register SpreadingSantorum.org that very day, and within a month it would be same-old same-old.

Yeah, what a dipshit.  I heard about this Friday afternoon.  He's projected to be out of the running by the end of the week.

True 'nuff--but it makes for a nice convenient excuse on their part.  I heard they're scrambling to find Bachmann's coattails.

Santorum:  The hits just keep on coming.

SEN. SANTORUM: That would be taking a life, and, and I believe that, that any doctor who performs an abortion--that--I would advocate that any doctor that performs an abortion should be criminally charged for doing so. I don't--I've never supported criminalization of abortion for mothers, but I do for people who perform them. I believe that life is sacred. It's one of those things in the Declaration of Independence. We are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, and the first is life. And I believe that that life should be protected at the moment it is a human life. And at conception it is biologically human, and it's alive. It's a human life, it should be a person under the Constitution.

Rick Perry has declared he is "exploring his options".  You're deciding whether or not you want to run for President, jackass, not what to order off the menu for lunch.  You know damn well whether you want to or not, stop being such a fucking pussy about it.
