Santorum Wins Missouri Primary (BREAKING: WALL STREET JOURNAL)

One thing I haven't properly captured over the past few weeks is the in-fighting between Freepers about the GOP candidates. There are three distinct groups: the "Romney-bots", who as far as I can tell are not actually pro-Romney (since anyone pro-Romney has been banned or chased away), but rather are pro any GOP candidate and thus against Freepers turning on someone like Romney too harshly this early in the primary [this group consists of both the most reasonable Freepers and the most racist Freepers]; "Newt-bots" (by far the majority), who are throwing their weight behind Newt and thus hate Santorum and Romney with a passion, but Romney moreso; and "Santorum-bots" who, honestly, might be the most sincere of the Freepers, since they mostly refuse to vote Romney because he's Mormon and "socially liberal" and refuse to vote Gingrich because he's not a good Christian, and those are things Romney-bots and Newt-bots used to say.

There are Freepers who don't fall into any of these categories, of course, but they aren't quite as riled up tonight.

I haven't bothered to capture this because, honestly, group 3 has been a minority that I thought would become irrelevant quite quickly. Group 1 is smaller, but I still kind of think Romney is the de facto candidate, so I expected that tension to grow.

Anyway, I thought this might explain some of the following.


Take that, Newtbots!!

Santorum is a UNION LOVING PHONEY

*

It shows that Mitt Romney isn’t the strong candidate that the establishment says he is.

*

It' s almost embarrassing to watch you infants get so orgasmic over a nonevent (no delegates, no nothing, just a bunch of wasted money). I would feel sorry for you because I know you will soon have your tender faces smeared in the dirt by the Romney money machine, the very machine that gave you life in Iowa. And you don't even see it coming. Pathetic actually.

*

MSNBC just projected Santorum also wins MINNESOTA!

Willard going down big time tonight!

*

Totally useless for acquiring delegates. Potentially very useful for acquiring momentum.
Santorum is everybody's second choice and the favorite choice of 1 in 5 of us.

The Gingrich people say they will never vote for Romney. The Romney people say they will never vote for Gingrich.

The big focus should be giving Obama a pink slip. We need a candidate we can unite behind; a candidate who can make the election about Obama's sorry record and not about their personality (Newt) or lack thereof (Mitt). The GOP could do a hell of a lot worse than Rick Santorum . . . and has.

*

Had Newt been on the ballot..he more than likely would have won. Recent Polls showed Missourians favoring him but he didn’t file here.

*

He will now have won more states that all of them. President Rick Santorum sure does sound heavenly. Thank you God!!!!!

*

Can we now drop the canard that it is futile to support Santorum, that he cant win, that a vote for anybody but Newt is a vote for Romney, etc?

*

"Newt wasn’t even on the ballot and no delegates were awarded. That said, Romney is still a LOSER! This will get some positive headlines for Santorum and will help his campaign. The Romney smear machine and his cheerleaders in the media will now turn their guns on Rick. Buying the nomination is going to cost Romney and his friends more than they thought."

Seriously, I give up. There was a time when Freepers were actually above average intelligence. You’ve done a good helping to prove its no longer the case.

*

Personally, I am very worried that neither Gingrich nor Romney can defeat obama. I think Santorum actually could....maybe it is time to get behind Santorum!

*

President Santorum? Liberals would commit mass suicide if that happened..... I can support Rick Santorum.

*

Time for Newt to pull out and endorse Santorum. What? No? Wasn’t that what everyone was saying Santorum should do last week?

*

Thank you God! In Jesus’ name. Amen. It is so wonderful to see a great moral Christian Catholic principled getting these wins. He is winning all the “fly over” states which is where conservatives live. This could not have gone better. Dear Lord thank you!

*

What are the chances he will win his home state, Pennsylvania this time? He lost there bigtime when he was an incumbant senator.
