"Independent voters are rejecting Romney"

[RIJIMMY]

Lets not forget the GOP barely supports him.
You guys blasted when months ago I stated that the majority of repubs are "anyone" but mitt. Look at how many people have been high in the polls, the repubs jump from one candidate to the next.
Perry
Cain
Gingrich
Now when its no one left but Santorum and Romeny, Santorum is showing up strong in the polls! Give Santorum time to shoot himself and Romney will the last one standing. The best he has to offer, the least obnoxious candidate
Big O for four more years. Lame performance by the Repubs in a time when there was a lot of momentum

The only thing I blasted when you said that a couple months ago is that the GOP is strongly "anyone but Ron." Mitt is essentially their consolation prize because there is no electable nomination for the GOP. One thing the Democrats do better than Republicans is choose candidates who's crooked past won't come back to bite them in the ass. Seems like every Republican candidate this year has a closet overflowing with skeletons... except for that one guy who was the only Republican nominee to poll higher than Obama yet is continually lied about and shunned.

No. What Democrats (and their Public Relations arm called "the media") do is overlook every single immoral thing that a Democrat does, and go crazy every time a Republican is accused of anything.

The same media folks who said that it wasn't fair to hold Obama accountable for the statements of Rev Wright, are now attacking Santorum because one of his campaign donors said that the best birth control is for women not to sleep around? Ted Kennedy gets re-elected 85 times, but people here are turned off by Rick Santorum's personal values?

Furthermore, I love how the lefty media is suggesting that tghe GOP is in disarray because there is not yet a clear front runner. The hypocrisy here is stunning. In 2008, the Democratic primary contest between Hilary and Obama was as bitterly contested as any election in our country. As that time, the media claimed that the competition was a healthy sign of the democratic process. Now when the GOP finds itself in a similar situation (although not all that similar because teh election is so far off, whereas in 2008, the Democratic fight went right up to the convention), it's a sign of disarray? I'm not buying it.

Tell me I'm wrong...
