Ooh, ooh, Mister Kotter! I know! The answer involves a stack of frogskins! @rsmccain:twitter 

yea this tactic will work in the general election. wall street romney for the quarterly dividend. 

Someone today mentioned that jeff zeleny was the same guy that asked obama one of the most pressing question in our country, “what has enchanted you the most about serving in the office?” If hes still a credible man for this job than im with you and tell rick to suck it up.

 Doing his job? or his job for Romney?

Of course you’re right. SDN - but Temple is so completely irrational on the subject of Santorum that he’d probably applaud a fatwa against him.

 Based on what?  Santorum’s word?

It’s hard to think of them as any more potent chess piece.

Boy, does it look like Santorum’s head is gonna bus’ right open any minute?  He may be on the verge of a meltdown.  

The real problem killing us isn’t the “gotcha” reporting or the malicious bias. The real problem is the complete inability of conservatives to figure this game out, ie., to learn rhetorical judo and flip it back in their faces. These are huge OPPORTUNITIES. Enjoy yourself, candidates. Relish the leftist media. Go after them with gusto. Humiliate them in front of the country. It’s not that hard. Really, it isn’t. Breitbart proved it.

Oh yah, and why does Mr. Other do the bidding of Ricky-boy w/r to Newt and Mitt? 

Just curious, but guys, those glass houses are very hard to maintain.

You know what? If santorum cant win the republican nomination then rick might as well give the pope a reason to canonize him by going on a martyr quest against the mfm. Go Saint Rick 2016!

Here’s something Rick could do to regain some momentum. He could take a page out of the playbook of a certain former governor of Arkansas by the name of Bill Clinton. He could apologize for calling Protestant Christians hypocrites for practicing birth control. If he comes across as sincere enough it might have the same benefit it did for Clinton back in the days his seemingly heartfelt apology helped him regain the governor’s office.

And while he’s at it, he might also offer an apology for sticking his foot in his mouth over this Zimmermann-Martin case.

But of course he’ll never do that.

And he is going to lose.

The outrageously outraged MFM had their dainty little minds contaminated by the descriptor “bull****”? How ever will they continue? Woe is their world as it all comes crumbling down because Santorum, who obviously fancies Himself as THE Jesus Christ, won’t turn his cheek and take their smears up his a**. Because of some perverted form of media-constructed hypocrisy or something, I’m sure. SEE! He said a dirty word! He’s not pure!

Good grief, the MFM is pathetic. Their games are so gobsmackingly transparent it’s getting to the point of pitying them more than loathing. But we’re not past the loathing just yet. After their bankruptcies, then we can proceed to the pitying.

Sure, why the question and at whose prodding is important, but there are multiple levels of media corruption yet again. The “outrageous outrage” performance art cannot get cast aside even for the bigger picture that seems to have been ignored.

 He lost his cool.  The guy asked about what he said.  So what if he’d been asked before?  Candidates are asked the same things over and over again all the time.  Three times in four minutes?  So what?  Again, unless they were right there, how is a reporter to know what the others asked?

And he claimed it was planted by a Romney guy in the back of the room – how could he know that?  He’s just making it up, like he made up the “malicious” charge against Zimmerman.

The guy is cracking under the pressure.  Good thing he’ll never be President, huh?

Multiple times in a very short time frame by a collective whose job it is to take notes is NOT the sign of honest newsgathering. This is agenda driven narrative-making.

Did Santorum “lose his cool”? Not to me because I understand the MFM like I used not to years ago, but I’ll not quibble too much on relative perceptions. Some might think so – and the MFM would love to append that narrative to any other fishing expedition they can assemble – but “lost cool” and “behaved appropriately” are just matters of degree on the spectrum. Did he sit idly by while this nonsense went on? No, and I love to see the MFM get called out. So do conservatives which never hurts if it’s the base whose attentions you desire.

As to Team Romney egging on the question, I don’t know, but there’s a pretty decent chance Santorum knows who is on the opposing team. The campaigns know many of the personalities and actors on each side. It seems logical that Team Santorum might notice Team Romney in its midst. Those little macacas!!! run all over the place. (Consider Jason Chaffetz, for example.)

Nice touch with the Zimmerman reference, too. It wraps everything up into a nice little package.

I don’t think Santorum will be president (and he’s my choice now until circumstances change), but I don’t see him “cracking.” At least, however, he didn’t ask a moderator to step in and stop the questioning. He answered straight up multiple times until he’d had enough. And then he called them out personally.

SANTORUMS CLAIM IS UNFOUNDED!. Santorum has been hurling around these lies about the media working with ROMNEY. Where is the Staffers name? Why isnt the media backing this story up? This was a liner by Rick that was not backed up at all. HE SAW THE ROMNEY STAFFER SAYING THIS STUFF AND DID NOT CONFRONT THEM? WHATTTTTT? This is completely bull sh_t! NOW, NOT ONLY HAS SANTORUM accused Foxnews and Drudge and Ron Paul of creating a deal, but now the romney people are creating a deal with all of the media? The leftists media has been Santorums best friend this whole time.. lol… Infact, wasnt it OReilly that said Santorum has gotten more free press than Romney could possibly pay for?

Geeez he just called bs on the NYT, it’s not like he called out Macaca in the back of the room.

Bottom line, Santorum by his words and actions over the last couple of months has proven himself to be a complete fuck up. If he did win the presidency, he would do the conservative cause no good, because the Democrats and RINOs would have him so tied up in knots he would be completely ineffectual, probably even a laughing stock on a level seldom seen in high office.

And by the way, that is even assuming he would govern as a true conservative to begin with. And I don’t assume that at all.  More than like he would, on balance, be every bit the RINO people are assuming Romney will be.

At least Romney claims to believe in the 10th Amendment, and Federalism. I’ll take him at his word and hope he lives up to it.

I’m not really happy about it. I’d much prefer another candidate. But if that’s who we’re stuck with-Romney it is.

You all know what you call that, don’t you?

Thaaaaat’s right, you call that “taking one for the team”.

 Seeing as how he has a far better record for honesty than ORomney (or you), yep.

I don’t care about them learning anything ? they’re beyond hope [and change]; I just take a deep satisfaction in watching them get whacked.

“Endorsements don’t mean snot”.

But votes and delegates mean quite a lot

So, the real problem is that Santorum didn’t think of getting his people in position to ask embarrassing questions of opponents first?  Or that he can’t afford to?

Maybe Bachmann, who went through the same thing, should have said “bulls–t”. 

How’d you know I’m of Eye-talian descent?
