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” .

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

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.

Sorry, we missed your input...

User Guidelines

Please be respectful and relevant. Thought-provoking. Or at least funny.

We want comments to advance the discussion and we need your help. Debate, disagree, yell (digitally) or laugh, but do it with respect.

We won't censor your comments if we don't agree with you; we want viewpoints from across the political spectrum. We're dedicated to sparking an open, active discussion. We believe people with differing opinions can spark debate and effect change.

Comments are open to registered users of TucsonSentinel.com.

Keep in mind:

  • A conversation involves sharing and respect. Support your viewpoint with facts, not attacks.
  • Ask questions. Search out answers.
  • Remember that being part of a community requires tolerance for differing views.
  • We can't ensure that all comments are based in truth. The only comments we endorse are those we write ourselves.

TucsonSentinel.com does not allow:

  • Hate speech. Blatantly racist, sexist or homophobic slurs or calls for violence against a particular type of person, etc. will be removed.
  • Obscenity & excessive cursing. Sometimes a well-placed curse word - if you're creative enough to get it past our auto-censor - can express your point in just the right way. But we say '%*$& no' to cursing for cursing's sake. And lose the explicit sexually-descriptive language. It doesn't contribute to the debate and there are plenty of other places on the Internet to find it.
  • Flaming. During a heated discussion, unkind words may be spoken. We can live with a certain amount of rudeness in the name of provocative conversation, but a pattern of personal attacks (name-calling, mocking, or baiting) is not acceptable nor are threatening or harassing comments. Show some respect, please.
  • Spam. Solicitation of products or services isn't allowed; contact us about advertising, we'd love to talk to you. Links to off-topic sites may be deleted.
  • Copyright or IP infringement. Lengthy quotes and violations of 'Fair Use' aren't allowed. Anything you post should be your own work.
  • Overposting. Don't bore people and waste electrons with identical comments on multiple stories or repetitive comments that don't advance a conversation.
  • Trolling, sockpuppetry, and other abusive behavior. Please don't feed the trolls and don't pretend to be someone you're not.
  • Gossip. Don't bring up others who can't defend themselves. We don't give out personal information; you shouldn't either.

Comments that violate these guidelines may be removed. We reserve the right to make up the rules as we go along.

Flagging

Commentors are solely responsible for the opinions they express and the accuracy of the information they provide. Users who violate these standards may lose their privileges on TucsonSentinel.com.

Sentinel editors can't read every comment. Trolls, spammers and other troublemakers can slide under the bridge. We rely on you to help maintain a healthy conversation - more than likely, you're reading these comments before the editors.

What if you see something inappropriate? Use the 'Flag' button to send it to a moderation queue. Help us out and tell us why you're reporting it; please don't report someone just because you disagree with them. Boy who cried wolf and all that. We'll take appropriate action on violations.

We will not edit comments to alter their meaning or censor comments because of political content.

We will not remove comments solely because they are heartless, cruel, coarse, foolish or just plain wrong. Your disapproval can maintain a decent signal to noise ratio. Ultimately, however, self-policing is the best method.

Bottom line, don't be a jerk.
