Hunting in the Hawkeye State
Santorum aims for surprise in next week’s Iowa caucuses.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Rick Santorum bagged at least four pheasants during his hunting trip Monday at Doc’s Hunt Club. Those four birds were just the “clean kills” that he was certain were the result of his own marksmanship — a conservative count, Santorum emphasized to the crowd of reporters who showed up at the hunting club in Adel, west of Des Moines.
While the former Pennsylvania senator was pleased with his outing, most of the reporters who showed up were more interested to know if Santorum had bagged even bigger game during this political season — the endorsement of his hunting companion, Iowa Rep. Steve King. But the conservative Republican congressman said he wasn’t quite ready to make that commitment.
“You know, I came here today to shoot some pheasants with my friend Rick Santorum and we’re having a great day,” King told the reporters assembled for Monday’s press conference. “So I’m going to deliberate on all of this and I’ve got a few days yet before a decision has to be made.… I’m leaving that open.”
He had expected to have already made up his mind as to which of the GOP presidential candidates to endorse, King said, but “the dynamics of the entire race” had left him still undecided. “I want my head and my heart to come together,” the congressman said, leaving open the possibility that he might make an endorsement sometime before next week’s first-in-the-nation caucus — or maybe not.
King’s indecision is perhaps symbolic of the state of the Republican race here in Iowa, where the fight among a large field of contenders has left many voters still unresolved about their preferences as the Jan. 3 date approaches. In a long campaign defined by up-and-down cycles in the polls, where no front-runner has been able to sustain a lead for more than a few weeks, many Iowans haven’t yet made up their minds and may not make their final choices until after they arrive at their precinct locations next Tuesday night. With conservatives apparently divided between four candidates — Santorum, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann — the current polls indicate that the candidates most likely to win Iowa are former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
One veteran Iowa observer, Davenport-based GOP consultant Steve Grubbs, says that situation might make whoever places third the de facto winner. “It’s not about who finishes first,” said Grubbs, who until recently was statewide director for the now-defunct Herman Cain campaign. “Ron Paul — maybe he wins at 27 percent, but it’s still just 27 percent.” With Paul winning the libertarian vote and Romney winning moderates, Grubbs sees the key action as the fight among the four conservatives who are now going all-out here in the final week. “I think that’s what the story is, right there — who will be the conservative who comes out of Iowa? That’s the exciting part of the race.” And among those candidates, Grubbs says, “Santorum’s got the momentum right now.”
Santorum certainly agrees with that. “Well, I definitely feel that way,” he said at his press conference with King at the hunt club in Adel. “We’ve got momentum, but it takes a strong foundation and that’s what we’ve done. We’ve built a very strong foundation here in Iowa. We’re very excited that we’ve got a thousand caucus captains, people who are going to be there, most of whom if not all of whom have met me, who can go in… and say, ‘He was here. I met him when he was here. Let me tell you, I looked into his eyes and this is what he believes.…’”
Among those caucus captains is Aaron Rupp, an engineer from Cedar Rapids who met Santorum for the 11th time Monday. Like many other Santorum supporters, Rupp is an evangelical Christian in a state where social conservatives have traditionally played an outsized role in deciding Republican caucuses. Despite the current numbers showing Paul and Romney leading the Hawkeye State — with about 43 percent of the GOP vote between them, according to the Real Clear Politics poll average — the question of whether the social conservative vote will coalesce behind one of the other candidates has bedeviled Republicans here. In November and early December, it appeared that Gingrich would emerge as the conservative favorite, but then came a barrage of attack ads — first from Romney, then from Paul and later from Perry. Within two weeks, Gingrich’s support was cut nearly in half. “I think Newt has been in freefall,” says Grubbs. “I’ve never seen so many negatives fall on the head of one candidate in such a short period of time.”
Meanwhile, Santorum’s candidacy has picked up a string of major Iowa endorsements, including the support of Bob Vander Plaats, president of the Family Leader, an important social conservative organization. That endorsement became somewhat controversial last week when some suggested that Vander Plaats was engaged in a pay-for-play arrangement with Santorum, which the candidate described Monday as a misunderstanding. “I’m happy I got his endorsement,” Santorum told a reporter who asked about the controversy. “I don’t see it as any trouble. I think obviously some people who didn’t get the endorsement are trying to stir the pot and make it what it isn’t.”
Another reporter asked Santorum about the poll numbers, which show him just now beginning to break into double digits here in Iowa. “We still have a week to go and no votes have been cast,” he answered. “We feel very good. We have a lot of energy on the ground. Our campaign is clearly the one that is rising right now and has the momentum. And we feel that’s going to continue on over the next week. As I’ve said from the very beginning, we’re going to surprise a lot of people with how well we do on caucus night.”

Go Rick, go! Given the dynamic of this current primary, its completely possible that Santorum could sneak out the win in Iowa. His ground game there has been outstanding. And to those who would say he lost PA, he'd win here now in a heartbeat. PA NOW ain't the PA of '06. As a staunch conservative, he won a state that is VERY union heavy.
Those who underestimate Santorum do so at their peril. He's a fighter. Don't count him out.
Hope y'all had a great Christmas!
Ted| 12.27.11 @ 9:35AM
CC,
You are right about PA now not being like PA 5-6 years ago. Santorum lost in PA because the Democrats turned that Senate race into a referendum on President Bush and his Administration, to include the Iraq war.
Santorum has a history of peaking at just the right moment, and he's definately a fighter.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Jack in Wi.| 12.27.11 @ 2:55PM
i specifially didn't comment here to see how much action Santorum would get. Well the answer is not much. Santorum has less cahnce to be elected president then either Clint or me. he is a chicken hawk who loves wars, as long as he doesn't have to fight in them. Rick loves war far more then he loves the cause of life. He is rabid on the subject of war, just like the wild lady Michelle Bachman. Well Michelle and Rick you can't be for endless war and still call yourself pro life.
Ron Paul gets by far the most funds from the acive military because they know he is on their side, not that of the Israeli or the oil lobby. There is only one conservative running this time. His name is Dr. Ron Paul. the service peoples, and the taxpayers best friend. Dr. Paul was also the only conservative running last time as well.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 3:04PM
For someone who claims to be a "proud 4-f" to call anyone else a "chicken hawk" is laughable.
But, like Clint, we already knew that you & your candidate are laughable.
Occam's Tool| 12.27.11 @ 10:35PM
Santorum would be fine with me as President. If I sound wishy-washy, it's because I won't be voting in this caucus, and I would be happy with anyone but Paul, although I would be least happy with Mitt opver Paul. But Bachmann, Santorum, heck, even Newt---I wish those were the top 3 to come out of Iowa.
Silver Bullet| 12.27.11 @ 8:22PM
@Jack in Wi.: You are uncharitable, sir. You accuse Santorum of loving war. On the face of this accusation, this is preposterous.
What is wrong with someone like you -- that you constantly carp and calumniate and defame on the Spectator Website? There must be something wrong with you psychologically. Or, is it spiritually?
Go see your parish priest, please.

Always with the chickenhawk comments. Proof of your accusations or they are just as false as all the claims against Cain; not a single one of which has been proven true, and behold(!) his campaign ends and suddenly all the accusations cease!
Al Adab| 12.27.11 @ 10:38AM
I fail to see any relevamce in who might win the Iowa caucas. Those voters hardly represent the party at large and certainly do not represent the voters of Iowa, a state the GOP is unlikely to carry come November. Likewise NH. Why should these states be so critical to the GOP candidate selection process when their electoral votes Will go elsewhere.? Why include delegates and primaries in states such as CA, IL, NY, NJ that the GOP will not win in November? We need a nominee who can win Ohio, Fla, NC and VA, not one who can "be competitive" in the others.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 5:43PM
Al,
What is also outrageous is the fact that DEMONCRATS can legally vote in Republican Primaries!! And they plenty of them are for Ron Paul, and are going to ruin it for us again.. remember how we got McCain..
Jack in Wi.| 12.27.11 @ 6:13PM
The braindead Bush Republican vote like margie are down to about 15% ofthe national vote. ron paul is the only one bringing new people to the Party. It is ron Paul or ruin.

Funny how you Paul-bot Vatican Firsters always project the way that you do.

The BRAINDEAD Paul-bots gave us Obama, and you're getting ready to give him to us again, aren't you?
Unless of course you can tell us that you will vote for whoever becomes the Republican nominee... but I won't hold my breath.

Mike| 12.27.11 @ 10:51AM
Of the Republicans still in the race, Santorum and to a lesser extent Bachmann, are the only ones who are able to stand up to intense scrutiny of their personal and professional lives, and Bachman would be a lightening rod for attacks because of her personality. Santorum may not have the best chance of being nominated, but if nominated, he has the best chance of winning.
Ryan| 12.27.11 @ 10:57AM
Bachmann would be a lightning rod because she has MAJOR factcheck trouble and saying inaccuracies....it's not her personality, it's that she would be an easy target in debates and commercials.
Shots causing retardation?
darcy| 12.27.11 @ 5:02PM
If only factcheck trouble were one tenth the hazard to Obama as it is to Bachmann. Every time that man opens his mouth he's lying, either by design, by stupidity, or by stealth misinformation cues.
She and Santorum have more integrity and moral virtue in their little fingers than the Democrat Party has in its entire membership.
The truth of the matter is that she's an easy target because she represents us, the people, the good people of America, while her would-be opposition represents the slugs of the earth. For her, a molehill becomes a mountain; for the Democrat, a mountain becomes a molehill. Such is the nature of things when the corrupt liberal media is running the show.

Of course Ron Paul is the most conservative candidate in the race. It is nice to see him gathering support both in Iowa and nationwide.
Vern Crisler | 12.27.11 @ 11:55AM
Sean, you gave me a laugh this morning. Ron Paul and his coterie of purist libertarians regularly attack conservatives (calling them Neocons at every opportunity). That's because they are followers of Murray Rothbard, the anti-George Washington, anti-Reagan, libertarian, conspiracy nut.
Sean| 12.27.11 @ 1:20PM
So you think former Troskyite neocons are the true conservatives. Sorry I will stick with a Constitutionalists like Ron Paul as the true conservatives.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 5:45PM
He "gathers support" from mostly Democrats.
It's a FACT.
Dai Alanye | 12.27.11 @ 11:48AM
Ron Paul is not and never has been a conservative, despite having some conservative impulses.
Al Adab| 12.27.11 @ 11:55AM
Dai is correct. Libertarians, while part of the wider Movement, are not Conservative. The error is in the failure to recognize that in the real world there do exist moral absolutes which government is obligated to respect.
Clint| 12.27.11 @ 11:58AM
You Wouldn't Know Real Conservtism If It Jumped Up And Bit Ya.
Read George Washington's Farewell Address, Thomas Jefferson's First Inaugural Address, The Old Right And Get Back To Us.
" George Will, "Today, we have a very different kind of foreign policy. It’s called Wilsonian. And the premise of the Bush Doctrine is that America must spread democracy, because our national security depends upon it. And America can spread democracy. It knows how. It can engage in national building. This is conservative or not?"
William F. Buckley, " It’s not at all conservative. It’s anything but conservative. It’s not conservative at all, inasmuch as conservatism doesn’t invite unnecessary challenges. It insists on coming to terms with the world as it is …”

".... Newsmax....Ron Paul: Long-Time Former Aide Eric Dondero Slams Candidate Tuesday, December 27, 2011 12:09 PM...By: Tom O'Connell...Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul of Texas “was opposed to the war in Afghanistan and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11,” but ultimately voted in favor of them because of pressure from his staff, a former aide says.The aide, Eric Dondero, worked for Paul from 1987 to 2003. In a statement released Monday, Dondero said he resigned over political and personal issues, including Paul’s opposition to the war in Iraq, reports DailyCaller.com.
Dondero claims Paul subscribed to conspiracy theories behind the Sept. 11 attacks, including that they were “coordinated by the CIA, and that the Bush administration might have known about” them. Paul also took a cold stance on the victims, says Dondero.“He expressed no sympathies whatsoever for those who died on 9/11, and pretty much forbade us staffers from engaging in any sort of memorial expressions, or openly asserting pro-military statements in support of the Bush administration,” the statement reads.Dondero writes that he and other Paul staffers agreed to resign if Paul voted against the invasion of Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks, and that Paul changed his vote “at the very last minute.”“I strongly suspected that he realized it would have been political suicide,” Dondero says.Dondero’s statement also responds to allegations that the candidate is anti-Semitic, homophobic, and racist.On anti-Semitism: Paul, is “absolutely” not an anti-Semite, he continued, but he is “most certainly anti-Israel and anti-Israeli in general,” and “supports [the Palestinians] calls for the abolishment of the Jewish state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs.” On racism: “In short,” Dondero said, Paul is not a racist — just “out of touch with both Hispanic and black culture.”On homosexuals: Dondero writes that Paul has no interest in their private lives but is ” personally uncomfortable around homosexuals, no different from a lot of older folks of his era,” Dondero writes........'

" Possible Ron Paul Iowa Win Drives NeoCons to Apoplexy.
Rep. Ron Paul’s top-tier status heading into Iowa and New Hampshire means he definitely can’t be totally ignored by the major media, as he has been in the past. So the censors and blackout artists have been replaced by the smear bund. This past week they got pretty well revved up, but they’re still probably a long way from being in high gear.
As The New American's Jack Kenny noted here a couple of days ago in his article, “Campaign Could Get 'Downright Ugly' if Paul Wins Iowa,” the Big Government Republicans are sharpening their knives for a bloodfest.
But they’re not waiting for the results of the January 3, 2012 Iowa caucuses to get ugly."

'....Newsmax...Paul: Defense Funding Bill Marks 'Descent Into Terrorism' Tuesday, December 27, 2011 11:40 AM...By: Newsmax Wires...The Pentagon spending bill that Congress approved this month represents an abomination against democracy, says Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, Politico reports. The remarks, which came in a weekly phone message to his supporters, represent another verbal assault by the Texas congressman against what he sees as government overreach, but what other politicians on both sides of the aisle see as necessary national defense.The National Defense Authorization Act includes almost $670 million to pay for military budgets and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The more Paul rails against the Pentagon, the less likely it becomes that he will win the Republican nomination. That would be a long shot, regardless of his defense policy views, though Paul has polled very well in Iowa.As for his comments, “The founders wanted to set a high bar for the government to overcome in order to deprive an individual of life or liberty,” Paul said. “To lower that bar is to endanger everyone. When the bar is low enough to include political enemies, our descent into totalitarianism is virtually assured. The Patriot Act, as bad as its violations against the Fourth Amendment was, was just one step down the slippery slope. The recently passed National Defense Authorization Act continues that slip into tyranny, and in fact, accelerates it significantly.”One element of the defense act that particularly riles Paul provides for the detention of terrorism suspects and reaffirms the administration’s authority to detain those suspected of having connections to terrorist groups.“The Fifth Amendment is about much more than the right to remain silent in the face of government questioning,” Paul said. “It contains very basic and very critical stipulations about the due process of law. The government cannot imprison a person for no reason and with no evidence presented and without access to legal counsel. The danger of the NDAA is its alarmingly vague, undefined criteria for who can be indefinitely detained by the U.S. government without trial.”Paul says the bill not only allows our government to imprison members of al-Qaida and the Taliban, but anyone accused of supporting or being associated with groups like them.“How closely associated, and what constitutes substantial support?” he said. “What if it was discovered that someone who committed a terrorist act was once involved with a charity? Or suppose a political candidate? Are all donors of that candidate or supporters of that candidate now suspects and subject to indefinite detainment? Is that charity now an associated force?” Declaring war on the war against terrorism probably isn’t such a shrewd political idea on Paul’s part either. Both Republicans and reasonable-minded Democrats, including the Obama administration, support the same vigilance against terrorism that Paul criticizes.But the Texas congressman is sticking to his guns — or lack of guns in this case. He sees it as a case of presidential authority run amok.“The president’s widely expanded view of his own authority to detain Americans indefinitely even on American soil is for the first time in this legislation codified in law,” Paul said. “That should chill all of us to our cores. The Bill of Rights has no exceptions for really bad people or terrorists or even non-citizens. It is a key check on government power against any person. That is not a weakness in our legal system, it is the very strength of our legal system. The NDAA attempts to justify abridging the Bill of Rights on the theory that rights are suspended in a time of war, and the entire United States is a battlefield in the war on terror. This is a very dangerous development, indeed. Beware.”........'
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 5:48PM
Sad but true: It doesn't mater what Ron Paul actually says and does. He's like the Pope to these people. Reality escapes them.
Silver Bullet| 12.27.11 @ 8:34PM
@Margie: I believe that one of your other postings mentioned your willingness to vote for Santorum if he should become the nominee. Good.
But, please, in regards to the Pope: the simile is not apt. It does matter to Catholics what the Pope says and does. And, reality most certainly does not escape our notice. The current Pope has done well to root out scandal.
Keep in mind: St. Paul's letters are filled with admonitions and rebukes to those who scandalized the Church in the first century. Scandal has always been part of Church history, right from the beginning.
The failings of Christians are not an argument against Catholic-Christianity. If anything, complaints against scandal are a kind of "tribute" to the fact that the standards which the Church upholds are legitimate. Otherwise, who'd be scandalized? The standards themselves -- what the Church calls teachings regarding faith and morals -- these are irreproachable. If we fall short, guess what? Jesus came to call sinners.
And, so, I take it that you would vote for Santorum if he were nominated?

But what do you know? You're a rebel against Christ?
You have no say in the matter~ but I suggest you take your feeble minded little self and repent of your unbelief~ it's CHRIST you will have to answer to, little man.
And why are you sticking up for Vatican Firsters when you despise Christians, punk?
And now I'm a plagiarist? So, do you have a copyright on the word you falsely accuse me of using?
How asinine.
Hey everybody! Don't use the term Paul-bot! I coined the term, and according to the little man here, you're all plagiarizing if you use it!

Nice try at being original, though, plagiarist. And you don't need to have a copyright on a term. Plagiarism is stealing someone's intellectual property without attributing the source from which it came. If you'd graduated from 6th grade, you'd know that.

"For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body." 2 Cor. 5:10.
GET READY.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 10:47PM
Says you. I am unconcerned. Worry about your own soul. From the amount of pure, fabricated HORSECRAP I've seen you post, you're gonna have a whole lot to answer for yourself.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 10:57PM
Really, punk?
Let's hear about my "fabricated horsecrap."
Or are you just another false accuser?
Put up or shut up, punk.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 10:58PM
"Says you."
Says GOD.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:03PM
Here's a little clue for ya:
JEWS DON'T BELIEVE JESUS IS THE MESSIAH.
Chew on that. And deal with it, charlatan.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:46PM
A clue to what, PUNK?
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 10:44PM
Oh, & I'm pretty sure you didn't coin the term "Paul bot." I've seen that at least a million times on 20 different sites. Funny, I've never seen "Vatican Firster" except when I wrote it to ask Jack & Clint if, since they called everyone who supports Israel an "Israel Firster," they, as self professed Catholics, would be "Vatican Firsters?"
Having seen your posts through the past, its hilarious to me to watch you flail about like the helpless child you are. You truly are a whackjob. Ken & the rest of the crew seem to be correct in their assessments.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 10:53PM
You don't believe the Bible, so you are no judge, and neither are the other liars who reject it.
Too bad you think you are some kind of judge of Christianity. What a little man you are and such a hypocrite!
The whackjobs are the Vatican Firsters who believe a Pope and not Christ. As I said~ YOU are no judge of Christianity OR Christians~ YOU are a spiritually dead man. Dead in your sins.
You conveniently side with the Vatican Firsters who you accuse of being Vatican Firsters and you don't even see what you are doing.
"Ken and the rest of the crew?
Who are they but Pope worshipping Idolators?
And Ken is a blatant liar.
Yes, it's very convenient for you to take cover with them and attack me.. when you don't even realize what you're doing.
Nice job, Ken! You've caused how many more to reject the Gospel of Christ by your behavior towards me?
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death." Rev. 21:8.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 10:58PM
"YOU are no judge of Christianity OR Christians~ YOU are a spiritually dead man. Dead in your sins."
NOW HEAR THIS: According to Margie, since I'm Jewish, I'm a "spiritually dead man." And I guess my Dad & his father, along with my mother's parents (one Catholic, one Jewish) are all stoking the furnaces of Hell, along with Ghandi, Einstein, & Cicero.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:07PM
According to the WORD of GOD, not me. I just pass it along. That's what God commands Christians to do.
He gave me the authority to do so, as He has ALL Christians. From what you say here, you've never met a real one who doesn't kiss your sorry little rear end.
That's right, Con Artist Chef:
The Bible (not ME) says that ALL have sinned and fall short. Rom. 3:23.
Catholics lie, they don't agree with that, (that's why they aren't Christian, but Catholic Vatican Firsters, get it?) but Christians DO agree with God's Own Words that are written in the Bible.
God tells us that we are ALL spiritually dead unless and until we come to Christ and have our SIN forgiven.
Jesus explained this to Nicodemus, a Jew who came to Him by night for fear of the other Jews seeing him:
"Jesus answered and said to him, Truly,
truly, I say to you, If one is not generated
from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom
of God.
Nicodemus said to Him, How is a man
able to be generated, being old? He is not
able to enter into his mother’s womb a second
time and be generated.
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to
you, If one is not generated out of water
and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the
kingdom of God." Jn. 3:3-5.
It doesn't matter what Vatican Firsters say. It doesn't matter what I say, it DOES matter what the Word of God says, though. And it doesn't matter WHAT Religion or Nationality anyone is~ His Words apply to ALL of us.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:13PM
Margie, you are well & truly a smoldering, stinking piece of shit if you think that anyone in my family who's preceeded me is stoking furnaces in Hell. You aren't HALF the person that my Dad & ALL my Grandparents were. You couldn't carry their dirty laundry.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:25PM
Those aren't my thoughts OR my words, kiddo.
And YOU are FILTH before God, as we all are because of our SIN.
We ALL deserve Hell.
Christ died to FORGIVE our SIN. It's HIS WAY or NO WAY.
It's HIM you are in rebellion against, not me.
"Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by Me." Jn. 14:6.
Con Artist Chef:
The ONLY ones who will tell you this truth are GENUINE CHRISTIANS.
If you haven't heard it before from a single one of them, then you have NEVER met a CHRISTIAN.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:28PM
Yeah. You & your band of Watchtower peddling simpletons are the only "True Christains" in existence.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:29PM
"Christians" in Engrish.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:31PM
I'm not what you accuse me of, PUNK.
You won't be laughing when you stand before Christ.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:34PM
"You couldn't carry their dirty laundry."
Another immature, asinine statement. You really should become a Pope worshipping Clint type!
You cannot read, and you add things I didn't say, assign beliefs to me that aren't true.. what a hypocrite.
As to that statement, little man, I included myself in the "SINNER" category.
Now repent of your lying, little PUNK.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:00PM
Ken didn't need to do jack shat. Anyone who frequents this site on a regular basis can figure out that you're a whackjob themselves.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:10PM
Wrong, punk.
Ken made serious accusations against me.
Since YOU aren't an honest man but a butt kisser who needs to look cool in the eyes of MAN, you say what you just said.
An HONEST MAN would call him to account~ and PRESENT the so-called proof that he has against the accused.
That's what makes you a lying hypocrite. Not only do you not care about the truth, but you join in the attacking.
That makes you a PUNK and no MAN.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:15PM
Right. Thus speaketh the arbiter of all "true" Christianity & pathways to G*d.
Again, no one has to invent anything. Any regular here knows you're "touched."
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:18PM
I quoted the Bible.
To an unbelieving unrepentant rebel against God, you have to speak thusly in order to try and justify yourself.
And you don't speak for "everybody."
You DO INDEED speak for all Vatican Firsters!!
GOOD JOB!!
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:19PM
p.s. He DID invent something, and that makes him a liar, and NO Christian.
THIS is who you are hiding under his coat tails, little man.
You care NOTHING for the truth.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:25PM
Where, in my posts, did I claim to speak for "everybody?" Is this like your attempt to say I hate all Christians earlier? Yeah, I thought so.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:27PM
Oh. Pardon me, you said "any regular".
My statement still stands as the truth, though.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:31PM
I suppose all the people who clown you daily on this website are all "Papists" or "genuine Christians," right?
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:36PM
"Clown me?"
And Jesus says He's going to separate the sheep from the goats on Judgment Day.
Those who believe in Him and His Words~ and those who chose to believe MEN.
There is no in-between.
GET READY KIDDO.
Papist Dan| 12.27.11 @ 11:07PM
BIGOT ALERT!!! BIGOT ALERT!!!!
Bigot Margie has just crawled from under her rock to spew her anti catholic bigotry again.
She is obsessed with the Pope and Catholics and turns every comment on any topic on her attacks on the Pope.
If you want to read sickening depraved sexual imagery her Christmas comments on the story about "Was Jesus an Illegal Immigrant..."
She is really upset because she as been outed as not a Christian because she doesn't believe in the Trinity and doesn't believe that Jesus is God. But she continues to lecture us on Christianity.
Her beliefs on these two important tenets of Christianity are similar, if not the same, as Arianism and the Moslem faith, which is her business. But she lectures us on Christianity.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:09PM
Does she really deny the Trinity? Seriously?
Papist Dan| 12.27.11 @ 11:48PM
These are the words of the Christian Margie on 12/26/11 at 4:33 on the Was Baby Jesus an immigrant story. This is just one example. read them for yourself. It is her best to date, or worst.
"Since the "Trinity" isn't taught by God, Jesus or the Apostles, I don't have to accept it, liar.
The Bible (God's Own Word) tell me that I must repent, and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which I did 40 years ago, and continue doing to this day.
Since you're a filthy, lying Repbrobate who actually rejects the Scriptures and the Gospels, that makes you not only a liar and blasphemer, but a flaming hypocrite as well.
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."
Papist Dan| 12.27.11 @ 11:49PM
So Bigot Margie,
What 's your story today?
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:52PM
How the HELL can one be a Christian & NOT believe in the Holy Trinity? Its not like that's just a "papist" thing.
Bet you $5 you're about to be called a "liar."
Papist Dan| 12.28.11 @ 12:26AM
ConChef(NB)
Margie has basically created her own cult. She is the only member, and maybe her husband. Her beliefs are similar to Arianism.
She does not believe that Jesus is God, but a "lesser God" whatever that means.
She hates Mary. How can anyone hate the Mother of Jesus? She doesn't believe in the Trinity. Now, you don't have to believe in these but if you don't then don't call yourself a Christian and lecture us daily about burning in hell.
She has a weird obsession with Catholics and the Pope. Pretty sick stuff.
So now you have been consigned to hell with us papists. We welcome you!! It is crowded here, though, thanks to Margie.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:12PM
Papist Dan is a VILE liar. The epitome of Vatican Firsters!
So sue me Con Artist Chef.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:17PM
Then you sure as shit ain't no Christian I ever heard of. Unless you're a Jehova's Witness.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:20PM
You take the word of a Vatican Firster!
How ironic.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:22PM
I asked if you didn't believe in the Trinity. You responded "so sue me." I guess I don't need to "take his word," as I have your's.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:30PM
You didn't ask me that question. And you have no authority to judge Christians.
You asked NOTHING. Your comment was to the PUNK TROLL and you were agreeing with the lying Troll.
And I didn't answer you, nor must I explain anything to you because you are spiritually dead and can't understand the Bible.
You know NOTHING.
the so sue me was to my continued use of your "intellectual property".
To which I still say, so sue me, PUNK.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:34PM
Then why did you write "so sue me?"
Yeah. You don't have to explain anything to me because you HAVE no reort. NO response. Again, you've been punked out like the fraud you are.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:38PM
I just told you why. You aren't interested in reading anything I say because you're a dishonest man.
And you've exposed yourself for the little lying, hypocritical Con Artist and rebel against God that you are, by each and every post here to me.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:45PM
NOW HEAR THIS:
ALL those who don't subscribe to Margie's views on Christianity are "rebels against G*d."
Again, if you weren't answering me, then why did you write, "so sue me, Con Artist Chef?" And what would I sue you for? Not believing in the Trinity?
I can do this all night. The feeble minded are so easy to pick apart. Especially when they are either denying what they wrote 10-20 minutes ago, or too stupid to communicate what they're trying to say in writing with any sort of clarity.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:51PM
Misrepresenting again, Con Artist Chef. You are no different than the Vatican Firsters and continue proving so with each post!
JESUS says so, not me as you falsely try to proclaim:
"He who does not love Me does not keep My Words; and the Word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's Who sent Me." Jn. 14:24.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:55PM
I'm not misrepresenting jack shat. Everyone here has your words & mine to make their own decisons.
Watching you flail about trying to squirm your way around me has lost its humor for me this evening. You've been a good chew toy, as usual, Marge.
Have a good 'un, charlatan.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:10AM
I'm not "squirming", but YOU are blatantly lying and misrepresenting everything that I say.
And that makes you a sickening, perverted little punk.
But then, THAT is PERFECTLY CLEAR.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:53PM
"I can do this all night. The feeble minded are so easy to pick apart. Especially when they are either denying what they wrote 10-20 minutes ago, or too stupid to communicate what they're trying to say in writing with any sort of clarity."
You have accused me of many things here.
Where is your proof of any of it?
Where have I denied what I wrote previously?
You are despicable.
You are a CON ARTIST and no true conservative.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:57PM
Now you're the arbiter of "true conservatism." Spoken just like a Paulistinian. See, you ARE more like Jack & Clint than you realize.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:04AM
Con Artist Chef:
True conservatives aren't liars, sorry. And yes, I judge you as not being one because you're a nasty little PUNK and a liar.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:07AM
Your decrees of who's a "true conservative" means about as much as those you make about "true Christians."
In other words, they mean jack shit.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:11AM
Since I'm not a liar, you are, YOU are no judge of ANYTHING, PUNK.
And therefore your words mean ZERO.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:15AM
"I know you are, but what am I?"
Well done, Marge. Are you & Clint in the same 2nd grade class together?
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:53AM
I believe you started it, PUNK.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:21PM
Aaaannd, a Vatican Firster TROLL who posts NOTHING else, EVER, but false accusations against me.
Fool.
Papist Dan| 12.27.11 @ 11:56PM
Bigot Margie, explain this:
"Margie| 12.26.11 @ 4:35PM
"Mary is not "the mother of the Trinity."
That isn't what the cult teaches, and I posted the cult's teaching.
The cult created the "Trinity" and calls Mary the Mother of God.
Read above from Vatican website.
It is sickening to me how you carry on in the face of the TRUTH"
So the cult created the Trinity?
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:58PM
She's no better than the Jew haters here. Not in ANY aspect.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:05AM
You really SHOULD become a Catholic, Con Artist liar.
You fit RIGHT in!!
As I said, how utterly ironic.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:02AM
It isn't in the Bible.
And yes, men that came AFTER the Apostles CREATED it.
Now: You will have to justify your own self before God as to what YOU choose to say and believe.
And nowhere in the Bible is Mary the Mother of a "Trinity" OR of God, the Father.
The words of the Vatican are NOT the Words of God.
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD;" Deut. 6:4.
THAT is the WORD of God speaking, and it is what I choose to believe.
Got it, Papist PUNK & Vatican Firster Troll?
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:13AM
Margie's attempt at riposte=EPIC FAILURE
Tell me how your Catholic bashing isn't the same type of hatred & ignorance espoused by those who believe that Jews are all "liars," "greeedy," & running the world. Your anti Catholic hysteria is the same damned thing. You're just too f-ing dumb to realize it.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:20AM
I am beginning to think you are really Clint.
Catholicism doesn't teach Christianity, that's why.
GOT IT?
And I am free to speak my mind as to how it doesn't, because I'm a Christian and and a free American as you are.
You certainly enjoy bashing Christians~ and just because YOU say I'm not one, doesn't mean a thing.
You certainly are a flaming hypocrite~ you aren't a Christian, hate Jesus and reject Him, and think you can judge Christians?
You pal around with the Vatican Firsters who also HATE Christians here.. the Catholic Trolls.
YOU are a BLIND FOOL.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:30AM
"You certainly enjoy bashing Christians"
Nope. Not at all. Just you.
"you aren't a Christian, hate Jesus and reject Him, and think you can judge Christians?"
I don't "hate Jesus," nor have I ever said anything of the sort. And I can judge the person, not the religion. You don't know anything about Judaism, yet you feel as if you're fit to post your drivel relegating them to Hell. So who the hell are YOU to judge me? You don't speak for G*d anymore than the Pope does.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:43AM
You DO hate Him, and those who believe in Him, even if it is just one.
Sorry, but I am one of His, punk.
You have no say in the matter.
And Christians DO speak for Him, in that we preach HIS GOSPEL, which is written in the Bible, which I post here to show what He says.
It happens to disagree with Catholicism's teachings.
I'm not a coward or a weak spined lukewarm so- called Christian who cowers in the corner or speaks in "niceties" to make people feel good.
It isn't what Jesus did, and it isn't what I do.
If you think you're free to TRASH me personally for it~ then so be it. GOD will be your Judge, as He is mine.
Papist Dan| 12.28.11 @ 12:15AM
Bigot Margie
Then why didn't you just admit that you don't believe in the Trinity? You said I lied about that, I posted your words, and now you are about to go into your speaking in tongue routine.
As I told you before I will reply whenever you post your anti catholic bigotry. Got that?
And you should remember that what you write here will be shown to you whenever you deny it.
When confronted your natural reply is: Liar, Liar, Punk, Repent, Burn in Hell. Is that about it or do you have new words or phrases.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:23AM
I said you are a liar, and you are.
Your TWISTED sick spirit LIES repeatedly about what I believe.
You do not just say that I reject the teaching and WHY~ because it isn't biblical, and because I choose to believe EVERY WORD of GOD as WRITTEN in the ENTIRE BIBLE~
NO. YOU LIE and misrepresent me as not a CHRISTIAN instead.
FILTHY LYING CATHOLIC IDOLATOR.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:24AM
Not a Catholic, charlatan.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:29AM

better watch out.
AND: I AM NO CHARLATAN AS I BELIEVE IN THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE GOD OF THE NEW AS HE IS THE SAME GOD.
JESUS IS LORD.
YOU ARE THE FRAUD.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:32AM
All Jewish posters here at Am Spec take note:
If you don't accept Christ, you're a fraud! I suppose that goes for all you G*dless "Papists," too.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:36AM
Disingenuous PUNK.
I am addressing YOU here as a FRAUD.. no one else. My post is to YOU.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:42AM
And why am I a fraud Margie? Because I don't believe Christ is the Messiah? Then, by logical reasoning, that applies to ALL Jews. Stop trying to save face with people here you might think are your friends. You only succeed in digging your hole of deeper.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:45AM
You're a flaming fraud because you lie continually, and are an utter hypocrite.
You made many false accusations here and ALL unfounded.
You repeatedly misrepresent everything I say.
THAT is why you are a FRAUD.

I have been asked by various media the last few days for my comments, view of the current situation regarding my former boss Ron Paul, as he runs for the presidency on the Republican ticket.
I’ve noticed in some media that my words have been twisted and used for an agenda from both sides. And I wish to set the record straight with media that I trust and know will get the story right: conservative/libertarian-conservative bloggers.
Is Ron Paul a “racist.” In short, No. I worked for the man for 12 years, pretty consistently. I never heard a racist word expressed towards Blacks or Jews come out of his mouth. Not once. And understand, I was his close personal assistant. It’s safe to say that I was with him on the campaign trail more than any other individual, whether it be traveling to Fairbanks, Alaska or Boston, Massachusetts in the presidential race, or across the congressional district to San Antonio or Corpus Christi, Texas.
He has frequently hired blacks for his office staff, starting as early as 1988 for the Libertarian campaign. He has also hired many Hispanics, including his current District staffer Dianna Gilbert-Kile. "

Sadly Iowan Democrats are for Paul, and will be voting for him in the Republican primaries. I heard a guy on the radio this morning talking about it.

When Ron Paul returns to the Earth, his followers believe he will restore the constitution so well that the ink will smell wet and also miraculously restore the moat around America to its pre-civil war glory.
To a Ron Paul supporter the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution are collectively known as the Bill of WRONGS!
Every time a bell rings a Ron Paul supporter get his mouth very salivated.
Ron Paul supporters think everyone who doesn't support him fears him like they fear getting abducted by aliens, again.
When the feces found in the U.S. Capital was determined to be Ron Paul's, his supporters were quick to hail it the best idea, anywhere, ever and also delicious.
If Ron Paul falls in a forest, his supporter(s) will claim it's because gravity is inherently unconstitutional.
Some claim Ron Paul supporters spam online polls, the truth is they just all have the same I.P. address because... Hey! LOOK kittens!
The most ardent of Ron Paul's followers think the US government is too big when it has more people than the secret number Ron Paul has written on his magic anti-alien hemp underpants. ......'

If the daily bag limit is 3 pheasant, Rick broke the law and should step up to pay the requisite fine to the State of Iowa. I presume that he bought a license.

I saw the you tube. How does Ron think that Rap music is going to attact Hispanics again? Or thinking Blacks? Can you say RACIAL STEREOTYPES, from the assholes who brought you the term "sandmonkeys?"
What, does he have a bunch of dancing Hasids to advertise to Jews?
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 10:53PM
If Ron Paul wants rap that appeals to Latinos, he should enlist Cypress Hill (yeah, right). If he wants to appeal to Jews, he can enlist Matisyahu (probably LESS of a chance of THAT than the Cypress Hill thing).
I'm gonna go out on a limb & guess you're not a rap fan. But if you get the chance, listen to the Cypress Hill track, "Rock Superstar." Its a fitting song for what's now happening to Ron Paul now that the light is shining on his cockroach ass, just as it happened to all the other candidates in this primary season.

Mullah Margie the Charlatan Pretender Pukes:
"You don't believe the Bible, so you are no judge, and neither are the other liars who reject it."
So the Torah/Old Testament isn't the Bible these days? WHO KNEW?
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:15PM
The Con Artist Chef LIES:
I didn't say any such thing.
You're a blatant liar. Perhaps you ought to become a Vatican Firster, PUNK.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:19PM
Considering that the Old Testament/Torah IS my Bible, & I've told you that about 300 times, then tell me how that's not what you're saying, Margie. Those are your OWN FREAKING WORDS in the quotes there, haint.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:39PM
Tell you what, idiot???
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:42PM
YOUR ACCUSATION WAS THAT I SAID THE OLD TESTAMENT ISN'T THE BIBLE.
You supercilious little pervert.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.27.11 @ 11:48PM
And I've told you a million times that is my Bible, you feeble minded, Scotch addled, web fingered harpy.
Margie| 12.27.11 @ 11:55PM
PUNK:
You falsely accuse and then add to your blatant lying some more.
So, you said it was your Bible. How is that me saying the OLD TESTAMENT ISN'T THE BIBLE?
FOOL.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:02AM
Because after telling you numerous times in the past that the Old Testament/Torah is my Bible, you still post THIS bullshat:
"You don't believe the Bible, so you are no judge, and neither are the other liars who reject it."
See, Margie. Get it now? Or do you need someone to figure this out for you?
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:15AM
Little man:
The BIBLE contains the Old Testament AND the New Testament.
Whether or not YOU, little man, choose to believe God's Own Words contained in the ENTIRE BIBLE, doesn't make them false.
IT MAKES YOU FALSE.
AND THAT YOU DEFINITELY ARE!
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:23AM
Get f-ed, Margie. You ain't G*d. You're a liar though. You said I didn't believe in the Bible, when you clearly knew I did from previous posts. Guess what? Jews don't believe in the New Testament. Therefore, the Old Testament/Torah is their Bible. And you're a charlatan who claims to be a Christian, yet rejects the Holy Trinity.
Don't presume to lecture me about the "correct" way to G*d. That's between Him & myself. YOU have nothing to do with it, no matter how many Bible verses you post.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:25AM
You DO NOT believe the Bible. You REJECT THE NEW TESTAMENT.
I was not and am not lying.
YOU therefore reject Christ.
And you know nothing about Christianity and therefore are NO authority of what I am or IN WHOM I BELIEVE, which is CHRIST THE LORD and EVERY WORD OF GOD AS WRITTEN IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE.
FOOL.
Con Chef (NB) | 12.28.11 @ 12:36AM
NOW HEAR THIS:
If you're Jewish, & only believe in the Old Testament, you don't believe in the Bible.
Charlatan.
Margie| 12.28.11 @ 12:48AM
That is correct.
"If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of me." Jn. 5:46.

Santorum actually has the best favorability numbers of any of the candidates at +27 (56/29). He's also the most frequent second choice of voters at 14%.
...and based on the innards of this poll the person best positioned to provide that surprise in the closing stretch is Santorum.

Yoo-Hoo Margie?
I'm still waiting for those answers to my questions.
Do you believe that infants can sin?
Did Paul mess up when he wrote, in the same chapter, that "many have sinned"?
Did the Holy Spirit inspire the Old Testament authors to write that Enoch and Elijah did not die, and then inspire Paul to write that "ALL [pantes] have died"? If He meant ALL, as in everyone who ever lived?
Until you can answer these questions, your argument, or, rather, your flawed interpretation, doesn't have a leg to stand on.
God Bless!

Yoo-hoo! Margie?!
Mary was the FIRST Christian. She said YES to Christ.
And I would be very happy with a conservative Catholic in the White House:)
Happy New Year.
