Ann Coulter: What's Their Problem With Romney?

Ann Coulter  "Just four years ago, one Republican candidate for president was avowedly pro-abortion (Rudy Giuliani). One had opposed Clinton's impeachment and tort reform (Fred Thompson). One supported amnesty for illegals, restrictions on core First Amendment speech, federal laws to combat nonexistent global warming, and opposed Guantanamo and the Bush tax cuts ("tax cuts for the rich!") and called waterboarding "torture."

"That last one was our nominee: John McCain.
"This year, every Republican candidate for president opposes abortion, promises to repeal Obamacare, opposes raising taxes, and on and on. Only one candidate is strong on illegal immigration, which is second only to repealing Obamacare as the most important issue facing the nation.
"That's the alleged liberal, Mitt Romney."
....
"We're being asked to hand Obama another four years in the White House in order to "send a message." To whom? And what message? That we're morons? Message received!"  (Emphasis added)

Thomas Sowell: The 'Fairness' Fraud

Thomas Sowell  "During a recent Fox News Channel debate about the Obama administration's tax policies, Democrat Bob Beckel raised the issue of "fairness."
"He pointed out that a child born to a poor woman in the Bronx enters the world with far worse prospects than a child born to an affluent couple in Connecticut.
"No one can deny that. The relevant question, however, is: How does allowing politicians to take more money in taxes from successful people, to squander in ways that will improve their own reelection prospects, make anything more "fair" for others?"
...."What is worse than class warfare is phony class warfare. Slippery talk about "fairness" is at the heart of this fraud by politicians seeking to squander more of the nation's resources."

A look at Santorum

Byron York :  Why Did Santorum Lose in 2006  "The biggest policy reason was Santorum's outspoken support for the war in Iraq. By November 2006, the war was going badly and threatened to turn into a full-scale catastrophe. President Bush resisted calls to change course. While Santorum's Democratic opponent, Bob Casey, called for a new policy, Santorum stuck with the president, and with the war. He even made it his primary focus in the last days of the campaign.
"The voters clobbered him for it."   That's what happens when you don't vote "present".


Consider the source; this is from leftist Maureen Dowd:  Rick’s Religious Fanaticism
It will show you what Mr. Santorum can expect from the Democrats if he is nominated. Dowd says of him: " He’s more like a small-town mullah."  Here she calls Santorum "grating."


Apparently Romney people take Santorum seriously

Santorum's social issues trap  "When first reading McGurn’s statement, many conservatives probably reflexively blamed the “liberal” media for this hypocrisy. But, as the Drudge Report demonstrated yesterday, the conservative media is just as eager to keep Santorum trapped talking about social issues. Drudge’s “SANTORUM’S SATAN WARNING” headline was up most of the day, driving both mainstream and conservative media coverage. Rush Limbaugh even weighed in, admitting that Santorum was going to have to spend time addressing the issue:"
