Just an oberservation I'm noticing The average Republican voter--you know the ones who

[Justice wanted]

aren't crazy they are just greedy--anyways I'm noticing that some of them are nervous or terrified of Santorums thinking and I think they are a little nervous or scared by the fellow republicans who would vote for him.


I only say this because I heard from a Republican friend who actually told me that she would vote for Obama if it came down to Santorum and Obama election.


Look at the low turn out for the Primaries Santorum won.

Just a thought any ideas?

1. I don't blame them. He scares the hell out of me too and am a catholic.

2. Yep, just because some republicans are nuts doesn't mean all of them are ... I know

some moderate republicans that are put off by the whole system.

They think there is too much money in politics and too damn many lobbyists and special interests involved. They are not nuts, just frugal, and somehow think the republicans have been helping them over the years. ... but I seriously doubt they would vote for Santorum. In fact, they kind of liked Obama before the bailouts, etc.

3. Do not be suprised that your Republican friend who is also female will support Obama over Santorum.

The last Pew poll (with a large sample) shows Obama winning the female vote by 25% over Santorum. In the same poll, Ricky leads with the male vote by 4% (with Romney it's 8%).

Women, including many Republican women will be voting for Obama if they must chose between he and Ayatollah de Torquemada.

4. Just wait until their big convention when they invite all of the brokers to show up

After they are finished trying to sell cars, they will then nominate a candidate who has not campaigned in the race so far. It will be someone who will appeal to their "less wacko base." A person whose main affliction will be only that of greed, and who will be able to rally the parties' base contingency around the image of the dollar sign.

Social issues? Forget 'em! The final Republican platform of this election cycle will consist of only one plank: the plank containing personal wealth and greed. I do truly believe that those are the only issues that everyone in the Republican party can agree upon. Even the whacked out fundamentalists can agree on greed, what with all of their hysteria behind "dialing for dollars" and what have you. "Oh lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz." "My friend all drive Porches, I must make amends........"

When they call the nominees' name, they will come out swinging like a champ. Watch out for their right jeb. Or, they may be hiding behind a supporting shrub which will be relative to their base. See how they will be slickly propelled to the party's nomination. And in the end, I think that your friend, and all of their friends, will have someone who they can really feel comfortable voting for as they parade around with their conservative mantles draped across their shoulders, while everyone else who is watching begins to uncontrollably hurl.
