Romney took a salary of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00!!)/yr. as Governor of Massachusetts and the same for every year (3) that he ran the Salt Lake City Olympics. I understand why people doubt Mitt, as the MSM and TV are their prime source of info. He seems TOO GOOD to be true, esp. in this day and age. America is going to thrive under a Romney/Rubio Administration like it hasn’t for a LONG time! This man is squeaky clean and a super-achiever with old-school, traditional values. He (and his wife) is a throwback guy like something out of the Eisenhower period. Didn’t you Romney haters EVER wonder why the Democratic machine runs MILLIONS of dollars in ads against ONLY Romney?? The guy vetoed his Democratic legislature 800 times in Massachusetts!! They know that if he ever gets in, Socialism in the U.S. will be dead for a long, long time. Romney is like Washington, Lincoln and Reagan all put together. If you ever wished for “traditional” America to return in your lifetime, this is the last-chance gas station on a long, desert highway……..
Newt Romney hasn’t a chance,
To make it to the big dance,
Rick Santorum,
He will floor ‘em,
He’ll be the one to advance.
This report is not up to date. Romney gained 9 pts on Saint Santorum ( who lost 2pts) over the weekend so he is only 3 pts behind him now. Within the margin of error. Funny, the media says if Romney is ahead in Arizonia by 3pts he is “barely” ahead but another headline today with the updated poll numbers say Saint Santorum’s “lead opens up” when he is only 3 pts ahead of Romeny in Michigan. Do yourself a favor and Google Saint Santorum’s voting record and you will see why Ron Paul said it was an “atrocious voting record” .
@bmclane
Do yourself a favor and Google “romney’s rino problem”...
Reasons not to vote for Santorum. Why hasn’t he learned how to do an Obama real estate shuffle to make money with a guy like Resco. He proabably doesn’t have infuential , friends like Farrakhan who’s hoping Iran finishes off Israel. He also give Obama inside info because he can talk to dead people also. Everyone know it’s PC now to be against Israel and not talk about Sharia . Santorum’s also a homophobe. He wouldn’t allow Obama to be president because of his intimacy with Ballerina Rahm. He’s even probably against soldiers sodomizing each other in fox holes. Shame on you Mr Santorum protecting the country is so anti PC. He’s even against sticking scissors in babies heads to abort them. What a monster.

Here’s a verse
Doctors are retiring earlier but we’re getting 17000 new IRS
This is how Obama creates health care jobs I guess
For 235 years this country’s been God’s blessing.
Now he’s following Cloward and Piven’s to bankrupt the country I’m guessing
If Obamacare gives Grandma and Grandpa a scare
Think how when their rationed and die earlier we’ll save on healthcare
In what universe can Louis Farrakhan possibly be considered influential?
Typical Far Right Comment.You missed the point. Saint Santorum DID NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE many, many times. He voted to do what was best for his own hide.You would know this if you bothered to check out his voting record instead of being snotty on the keyboard. Romney did VERY Conservative things in a mostly LIBERAL State. No COMPARISON. The debate is now on SOCIAL ISSUES instead of OBAMA so thanks FAR RIGHTERS. Keep it up and you’re to blame for Obama’s re-election.
Reasons not to vote for Santorum…...He wants to regulate the internet…agrees with SOPA concept…while a senator he voted to stop people from ordering cheaper prescription medicines online…so he could keep the big drug companies happy….He swears he’s for tort reform but while a senator He and His wife Sued a DR. For $ 300,000… While the american economy was tanking He voted to raise his own Salary….I could go on and on but ..heres the truth..Santorum is a phony…and it’s there for anyone who really wants to see. I can’t believe the foolishness of some of My fellow Republicans…Cant they see how the media has embraced Santorum and tried to discredit Romneys conservative record….If some in the Rep party don’t see the light we could lose in Nov to Obama…MITT ROMNEY can beat Obama…..Santorum Can’t…..l’m asking my fellow Republicans Please….Don’t hand the election to Obama….Vote Romney.
