Re: I Can't Stand Romney.

Well, well....straight from the donkeys mouth:

Quote:
"We want the activists of the party, the people who make up the backbone of the Republican Party to have a say in who our nominee is as opposed to a bunch of people who don't even identify themselves as Republicans picking our nominee," Santorum told voters on the call held January 29. "I don't like that. I believe that states should only allow Republicans to vote in Republican primaries."
Quote:
"It's the Republican nomination, not the independent nomination or the Democratic nomination," he [Santorum] said on the call. "If you're a Democrat and you want to be a Democrat, then vote in the Democratic primary, not the Republican. If you want to vote in the Republican Party then become one."
The article states that Santorum said this after Romney won NH where data shows 53% of the voters didn't identify themselves as Republican.

Santorum is like every other politician: if it can benefit him, it's good; but if it does not, it's something to be denounced.

And yet still, some only point out and condemn Romney as the flip-flopper.

Quote:
I believe Santorum when he says he is reaching for "Reagan Democrats". Not as nefarious of a plan as it was, initially, made out to be.
I don't believe Santorum at all. He can say what he wants to try and explain the double-standard ... but if it were so, he wouldn't have targeted Union workers with the calls. They're certainly not Reagan Democrats.

Sorry, Santorum's own statements condemn what he did. He made no exceptions to his denounciation of the practice in January. Couldn't it have been said that those 53% who didn't claim to be Republicans were Reagan Democrats.

Can't have it both ways....
