Kirstol:
Really? Santorum attacked Mitt in SC & MO Mitt ran no negative adverts on Rick until now. Rick is a bigger cry baby than Newt! Conservatives meet with Mitt @CPAC and warn him don't go negative on our boy Rick. REALLY KRISTOL WILL AXELROD LISTEN TO YOU IF SANTORUM IS OUR NOMIEE? THE BEST DESCRIPTION I'VE SEEN OF OUR 4 CANDIDATES IS: WE HAVE
1) A Dr. OBYGN
2) A Historian
3) A businessman, turn around guy with actual executive management & governing experience
4) A Choir Boy
EZ Decision for me. KRISTOL ME NEED A CANDIDATE WHO HAS BEEN HONED BY MARKETS HAVING TO MAKE SPLIT DECISIONS ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST DECISION MAKERS MAKE THE KIND OF $ ROMNEY HAS MADE! SENATORS MAKE DECISIONS WITH 99 OTHERS CONGRESSMEN MAKE DECISIONS WITH 435 OTHERS. LEGISLATORS GAIN POWER FROM SPENDING HAVE YOU NOT LOOKED @ RICK'S VOTING RECORD? WE DON'T NEED TO SEND LEGISLATORS TO OVAL THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM HOW CAN THEY FIX IT? AXELROD WILL EAT SANTORUM FOR BREAKFAST. ONLY ROMNEY HAS GUTS AND GUTSY ENOUGH TO GO AFTER OBAMA. YOU MUST ADMIT YOU'DE LOVE TO SEE ROMNEY'S ADS DESTROY OBAMA & HE WILL!

Caps key stuck?

mjs_pa| 2.15.12 @ 12:37PM

Rasmussen: National GOP: Santorum 39%, Romney 27%, Gingrich 15%, Paul 10%

Look and I did it all with only a few caps!

Real Clear Politics: Obama 50, Santorum 40

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 2.15.12 @ 11:35AM

Actually, I observed a good ad this morning which pretty much explains Santorum as a big government guy who voted for big government at almost every opportunity.

Santorum's contribution to the big government movement dwarfs Romneys so one has to wonder how Santorum can be passed off as a conservative.

JJ| 2.15.12 @ 11:54AM

Then you must wonder how Romney can pass himself off as a conservative.

Bill| 2.15.12 @ 11:47AM

Romney is as bad as Santorum, "Northeast big government liberal RINO."

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 12:13PM

You're a moron and a racist, Bill.
GO AWAY!

Bill| 2.15.12 @ 12:22PM

You're a "stupid liberal Obama-Dog," Nick.
GO AWAY!

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 12:29PM

You, obviously, have NO idea to whom you are referring, newbie.

Take your racist pig backside back to your Klan rallies.
Or, are you waiting for your hood and sheet to come back from the cleaners?

What am I thinking?
I'm sure you don't bathe, let alone wash your clothes!

Tell David Duke to get bent, next time you see him, okay?

Bill| 2.15.12 @ 2:06PM

You're a very sick individual.

Simon Templar| 2.15.12 @ 2:16PM

Racist Troll Bill....says "That nigger lover President Clinton had the pen and vetoed so many good bills passed by the Gingrich-led Congress."

Bill, you are the sick bastard. You are not a conservative, you are a liberal troll out here pretending to be one.

Hobbes| 2.15.12 @ 2:33PM

He's trying to make Conservatives look stupid and racist. We are on to you Bill the Troll.

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 2:39PM

You beat me to it, Mr. Templar. Good job!

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 2:32PM

Coming from you, Bill, I consider that a compliment.

"That nigger lover President Clinton had the pen and vetoed so many good bills passed by the Gingrich-led Congress."

Hobbes| 2.15.12 @ 2:37PM

Want to bet Bill works for The Obama Re-election campaign?

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 2:45PM

Hobbes,

Or, Media Matters. Perhaps MoveOn.slime.

Willis| 2.15.12 @ 11:52AM

Yeah. Palin was a real success.

Tim the Enchanter| 2.15.12 @ 12:34PM

I'll bet you'd find that Repub turnout for McCain would have been FAR worse if Palin wasn't on the ballot with him.

Hobbes| 2.15.12 @ 1:50PM

Who cares what Kristol thinks? He's the genius that started the Iraq War. Urging for that bimbo barbie doll Palin was typical of Kristol's master strokes. The only reason he wants Santorum for the candidate is because Santorum is a like-minded NeoCon Chickenhawk who will fight Israel's battles for them...America's next stop Iran.

Crassus| 2.15.12 @ 4:10PM

Yubba dubba doo!!!!!!!

Clint| 2.15.12 @ 5:15PM

Crackass Bibi's Plumber.

Dai Alanye| 2.15.12 @ 11:55AM

How pathetic the Romney supporters sound. Or is it childish? What rational person is willing to accept the claim that Romney is more conservative than Santorum?

As for Romney-the-executive with his governing experience, couldn't the same have been said of Jimmy Carter, peanut executive and governor of Georgia? In fact, Romney can best be understood as the Carter of the Republican party -- weak and prone to exaggerate.

Pete| 2.15.12 @ 12:01PM

Santorum and his supporters are the childish ones. Whether it is whining about being ignored in debates,or whatever,Santy has whined and moaned constantly. His supporters even told Romney not to go after him,concnetrate on Obama. Sorry,but while you tell Romney to focus on Obama,Santy's sicophants attack Romney.
Romney is not obligated to wetnurse Santy. He has a record,whether supporting Specter not only for senate,but also potus. He bilked the taxpayers of PA on his kids schooling. Could go on,but pointing out stuff on St.Dick is childish.

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 12:24PM

Pete,

O'Romney is a bigger flip-flopper than J.F. Kerry.
He sticks his foot in his mouth every chance he gets.
He is the Republican Joe Biden.
O'Romney is a worse candidate than McLame was.

What you and Romney refuse to realize is that you don't build yourself up by tearing down your friends and allies. But, since your guys started it, and continue to dish it out, you are going to have to learn to take it.

Jake| 2.15.12 @ 12:08PM

The guy who tried to sell Sarah Palin as future presidential material now thinks Santorum could win a national election ?? Seriously ??
What are they smoking at the Weekly Standard ? Or else they need to get out more.
In order to sell his guy, Kristol is demanding that Romney treat Santorum with kid gloves , like he's a little kid who can't fight his own battles.
Kristol is obviously saying don't you be mean to little Ricky because he might cry.
Talk about the chickification of the Republican Party.

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 12:17PM

Jake,

Umm, then-Governor Palin was the only reason McLame broke 40%, or won more than 5 states.

Simon Templar| 2.15.12 @ 2:08PM

Nick you are correct. Infact, people have already forgot that his campaign shot off like a rocket after his pick at the convention and late summer he was actually beating Obama in the national polls.

The October surprise flipped this around.

Clint| 2.15.12 @ 2:23PM

McCain Was A Few Percentage Points Ahead Of Obama After The GOP Convention & Then He Supported TARP & Never Recovered.

The RINO-CINO Flunkie Stooges Gave Us The Serial Traitor To Conservatism, John McCain Of McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy,McCain-Lieberman,Gang Of 14, Opposing Bush Tax Cuts Of 2001 & 2003,TARP.

The Tea Party Rebellion Heads To A Brokered Convention.

Dixon| 2.15.12 @ 3:31PM

Exactly right, Clint.

The white RINO, McCain, had the big MO after Palin starred at the Convention. Shortly after, he was leading in the polls then suspended his campaign to run to DC when the financial system begain melting. He came off as ineffectual and bewildered and two-faced.

The ONLY time McCain ever got a check from me was after he announced Gov. Palin as his running mate (and it was a big one!)

Nick| 2.15.12 @ 2:42PM

Agreed, Mr. Templar.

We, as a people, have a very short memory, I'm afraid.
Thank goodness there are people like you and me to remind them, eh?

Bill| 2.15.12 @ 12:25PM

Santorum's record:
1. voted for raising debt ceiling 5 times, adding to the national debt $3 trillion
2. voted against "Right-to-Work" law
3. voted for the Medicare Part D
4. voted for allowing felons to vote
5. voted for "bridge to nowhere"
that is why he lost his senate bid by 18 points to a "silly" liberal Bob Casey in 2006.
wanna be the President? You wish!

Dixon| 2.15.12 @ 3:53PM

So, who would be your perfect candidate?

It would not take too much effort to find Santorum votes that were Conservative:
Voted several times for tax cuts....voted for balance budget amendment...supported and voted for welfare reform...89% lifetime ACU rating...11% rating by Unions...7-A's, 3-B+'s, 2-B's from Am. Taxpayer's Union.

Look, I am not 100% sold on Rick...but he is gaining on me.

Unlike Mitt, who has NEVER been a Conservative and only a part-time Republican, at least Rick's telling me what he would do as POTUS. And, also unlike Mitt, his positions are consistent with his past.

William R| 2.15.12 @ 12:27PM

This Hillyer clown gets worse by the day. Bill Kristol is a cancer on the Republican party. There's nothing conservative about him. All he care about is getting the United States to fight war on behalf of Israel.

Pete| 2.15.12 @ 12:35PM

Kristol has hated Romney since 94 when he didn't hire him as a campaign consultant.

Crassus| 2.15.12 @ 4:15PM

Maybe if Mittenz had hired Kristol he would have come closer in his Senate race against Fat Ted.

Oldefarte| 2.15.12 @ 4:27PM

Now my below is understandable somewhat!!!!

Vern Crisler| 2.15.12 @ 1:04PM

Dream on, Quin. The people who decide elections -- usually the most uninformed -- will only see the Romney attack ads, and will believe them.

Pete| 2.15.12 @ 1:06PM

I almost forgot. St.Dick supports felons voting. Remember his pander during one of the SC debates?

Garfield| 2.15.12 @ 3:52PM

Where was Bill Kristol when Romney was smearing Gingrich?

Crassus| 2.15.12 @ 4:13PM

A conservative, a liberal, and a moderate walk into a bar. What does the bartender say?

"Hello, Mitt."

Oldefarte| 2.15.12 @ 4:26PM

After this blog headline from The Weekly Standard's so-called genius ['.....T-Paw v. Hee-Haw What the Pawlenty-Barbour dust-up means
12:30 PM, Mar 17, 2011 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL ....'], this arrogant SOB can STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DONE SHINE. Maybe a few Jewish jokes might be in order, but then that would be racist, right??????

Pete| 2.15.12 @ 8:23PM

Kristol was the brains behind Dan Quayle.
