AWOOOGAH!!! Conservatives Start To Sound The Alarm Over Rick Santorum’s Extremism

Benjy Sarlin & Evan McMorris-Santoro February 21, 2012, 9:12 PM



Republicans are staring down the increasingly real possibility that Rick Santorum could snatch the presidential nomination away from Mitt Romney and with it any idea that they could mount serious opposition to President Obama in the fall.

As a result, many have started to hit the panic button, and they’re doing so in a way you probably wouldn’t have expected from the GOP, which still counts evangelicals among its strongest and most reliable base vote.

2. I like this reply to the article;

"The first question for tonights debate should be about

Masterbation (sic), I'm sure they can keep that going for two

What's the most recent presidential race (or other) where one side was just completely insane to compare and prepare us for what we're going to have to sit through?

I was only 8 at the time, but I remember the "in your guts, you know he's nuts" slogan.

6. Someone ought to write a book about the 2012 GOP - "A laugh a day".

"Don't read the book in one sitting, you may not have any sides left."

7. Read this a bit ago on TPM and I think the sentiment is pervasive within

the mainstream GOP (if there is such a thing).

When Morning Joe tells you to "SHUTUP OR GET OFF THE STAGE", you're in deep doo-doo.

8. Just a little longer... come on...

He's peaking to early damnit!!!
