What’s So Moderate About Iran’s New President?

With 94% of the votes tabulated, Mitt Romney has won the Washington GOP Caucuses with 37% of the vote, winning 30 delegates. Ron Paul edged out Rick Santorum for second place with both men earning five delegates apiece.
Romney has had a good week with wins earlier this week in Michigan and Arizona and now in the Evergreen state. However, Super Tuesday may tell a different story. While Romney is favored to win in Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia and Idaho, Santorum has the edge in Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota with Ohio being a toss up. Newt Gingrich is widely expected to win Georgia.

So effectivley its a tie like Michigan with the MSM and RINOs giving all the 'bounce' to Romney.

Nice win for Mitt Romney. Deciding factor is that Ron Paul probably underestimated the power of a l-Qaeda in North Carolina. This is very important issue, therefore Dr. Paul is UNELECTABLE. The second reason may be his totally unacceptable "Tehran Ron" rhetorics.

OK. How do you explain Santorum's and Newt's losses in this state?
John_Pitralon| 3.4.12 @ 9:54AM
I don't know, but it's a shame they can't beat "Tehran Ron".
But it's hard, because these pro-Paul Tehran fanatics are everywhere and hate our freedom. They're dangerous and can fly planes into the Pentagon at unimaginable speeds.

"They hate our freedom."
Here we do again, that old illogical trope.
What they hate are American troops on their soil. Bin Laden named three reasons for 9-11, not one was "We hate their freedom." They were
1. American troops in Saudi Arab
2. Sanctions on Iraq
3. Support of Israel.
"Hate our freedom." Where did you hear that? Hush Bimbo or Sarah Bimbo Palin?
Dai Alanye | 3.4.12 @ 5:13PM
Money. I've received near twenty robo-calls on the Mitt side, most of them distorting Santorum's record, three positive for Romney. No humans seem to support him.
Two robo-calls for Santorum -- one positive, one dwelling on Mitt's record. None for Newt or Ron.
Many volunteers are calling for Santorum, as I am, between Mitt's recordings.

That's Some More Israel Firster Smear Bund Propaganda From Traitor Bastard Tel Aviv Johnny.
Dr.Ron Paul's Foreign Policy Advisor, Michael Scheuer, former CIA Chief of The bin Laden Unit,
" On Iran, The President should,
Speak to the American people and tell them to expect to be brutally propagandized by U.S. citizen Israel-Firsters through AIPAC, their ubiquitous media shills, and the men and women they own in the U.S. Congress and federal bureaucracy. Urge Americans to ignore this effort by U.S. Israel-Firsters to get them to send their soldier-children to fight in a religious war in which the U.S. has no genuine national interest at stake, and in which U.S. participation would further bankrupt the country, require the reintroduction of conscription, and put America at war with all of the Muslim world -- Shia and Sunni -- for the foreseeable future."
Rubin Reports:
" So why are Israelis talking about a potential attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities? Because that’s a good way –indeed, the only way Israel has--to pressure Western countries to work harder on the issue, to increase sanction and diplomatic efforts. If one believes that somehow pushing Tehran into slowing down or stopping its nuclear weapons’ drive is the only alternative to war, that greatly concentrates policymakers’ minds. Personally, I don't participate--consciously or as an instrument--in disinformation campaigns, even if they are for a good cause."

If we have a brokered convention, will RonPaul sell out to Romney on the first or second ballot? (Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.)

Ron Paul came in second in Washington. Soon we will be hearing about how Santorum was robbed of second place.
Eric Dondero | 3.4.12 @ 11:31AM
The liberal media is already spinning "Santorum robbed in WA State." They're saying overflow crowd at 1 county caucus that was not let in, were Santorum supporters.
Man, the libs want Ricky boy to win so bad. They know libertarian-leaning Romney would spell doom for Obama.
Dai Alanye | 3.4.12 @ 5:18PM
Anyone who believes Romney is a genuine conservative, much less a libertarian, must be smoking potent stuff. Mitt first became "conservative" in 2006, the day after he decided to run for Pres.
Kid yourselves if you wish, but don't try to kid the rest of us.
packeryman| 3.4.12 @ 11:32AM
Nice win for Romney, this gives him four in a row. There are a lot of voters who believe he will take 7-8 states on Super Tuesday, this will basically end the primaries. It is hard to understand why any Republican would vote for Santorun with his negatives on separation of church and state, women's rights, birth control, morning after pill, stem cell research, minorities,gays, Satan,etc. This makes him non electable in a general election. He made a fatal political mistake in Michigan using robo call to encourage Democrat voters to crossover and vote for him same as the Dem supported unions were doing. They were doing this because they knew he was the weakest candidate, Santorun was doing it to beat Romney, inexcusable. Santorum was third in Washington, he is history.
Dai Alanye | 3.4.12 @ 5:20PM
Santorum has lost only one of his races. Romney has won only one.
Who's the "weakest candidate" again?
spike59| 3.5.12 @ 6:27AM
well, it's not the guy who has already won 8 states and has more delegates than the rest of the field COMBINED....
Eric F| 3.4.12 @ 12:16PM
Nice to see Santorum finish 3rd. Had to be kind of embarrassing considering he led there only about 10 days ago.
Now Santorum is going after the Drudge Report.
Can't wait for Tuesday to vote against that pos and also embarrass Mike DeWine for his treason.
Anna| 3.4.12 @ 5:20PM
Mitt is much more moderate than Obama. Some conservatives may see that as a bad thing but I think a lot of Americans are sick of the ideological extremes.
PCP Smoker| 3.4.12 @ 6:07PM
This asshole Goldstein and the rest of the creeps are celebrating a guy who won 37% of the vote? Are you serious? Congrats to Hussein Obama. 012 is completely lost.
Sammy| 3.5.12 @ 12:02AM
The lack of enthusiasm for Romney that we're seeing in Super Tuesday states isn't helped by the rumors that Romney is considering a back-up plan in the likely case that he bombs in the general election: http://cuttingreports.wordpres.....ant-chain/
