Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, January 15, 2012

A group of 150 evangelical leaders and social conservatives voted to back Rick Santorum Saturday in a last-ditch effort to stop Mitt Romney's march to the nomination. "There is a hope and an expectation that this will have an impact on South Carolina," said Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, who attended the meeting.

FLASH: Santorum just endorsed God. God said he was pulling for Brady over Tebow. herm

Santorum want to behead condom users and try any woman with a period for murder.

Sounds like the perfect candidate for the religious right.

Never thought I would say this but GO PATS!!!

"God to endorse Santorum"

No way God's that stupid.

You're not a very smart person.

......smart or not...he is accurate........

......Santorum represents the American Taliban in this nomination race......

I don't think I would want the "Evangelical Endorsement". I think the're a bunch of wackos.

"I take it you've never met wisgod or a duck-billed platypus?"

Those don't indicate stupidity; they indicate a sense of humor.
+++++

6--Hey, Butt! Haven't seen you in a while. I hope you're doing well! (And yes, Axe is being absurdly hyperbolic. But Santorum is a freak.)

Are these evangelicals in favor of the candidate or the substance?

I need clarification.

MTW, they endorse the substance but only in the closeted recesses. They endorse the candidate so they may continue the traditions of hatred and bigotry they espouse so loudly.

Does that help?

Mary,

"Are these evangelicals in favor of the candidate or the substance?"

I think it's more like they're anti-Morman. If Romney wasn't Mormon, this wouldn't be happening.

During the 20 years I attended a large influential Southern Baptist church, I saw they are tradtionally republican, and anti-Mormon. As a democrat I had to bit my tongue more than once when a preacher would stand at the pulpit and condemn democrats. The anti-Mormon thing was more privately done. It's not across the board, but certainly a significant aspect of more conservative Baptists.

It must be making their heads spin Romney is getting in the lead.

I mean...I can hear them now. Running down democrats, running down Obama and now they're running down Romney. They must be freaking out.

I can hear them now,

"What's wrong with everyone? Don't they see we are the only ones who know the truth about absolutely everything under the sun?"

Here's a possible scenero if Romney keeps the lead.

Evangelicals can't vote for Obama, but they can't vote for Romney, so they stay away from the polls. Low voter turnout among evangelical voters would help Obama.

Poor people don't need to eat everyday....
Women don't have a right to choose....
Gays don't have a right to marry....

Signed The GOP...god's ordained politicians!

I have Baptist friends arguing that Catholics aren't really Christians, so it's no wonder that they don't think that people who accept the idea of post-Biblical revelations aren't Christian.

"... so it's no wonder that they don't think that people who accept the idea of post-Biblical revelations are Christian."

I don't think I would want the "Evangelical Endorsement". I think the're a bunch of wackos.

You're obviously not a Republican. Those wackos are the new wise men to the GOPPers.

Well, the headline makes sense. I don't see anyone arguing with the closeted evangelicals agreeing with the frothy mixture.

Peggy Noonan said "People don't embrace Mr. Romney, they circle back to him".

What is remarkable here is that this thing was held in Texas and they didn't vote for Perry!

The thing with evangelicals is that they will circle around the nominee--even if it's Romney.

The conservative folks in the party are splitting their votes with 3 candidates.

Last time around--they got around Huckabee, bacause the moderates in the party were splitting their votes with 3 moderate candidates. But even with just Huckabee and McCain the evangelicals in the party could not unseat McCain. And Huck followed him around the country on two cents flying coach.

The party was united behind McCain with Palin on the ticket--not too many can deny that fact.

In 2008 Obama had more of the independent voters--the 20% in the middle--that voted for him.

In 2012--the indies are not with Obama--at all. If it were held today Obama would lose the election to an unnamed GOP candidate.

With the FOF vote giving it to Santorum--not sure that will affect SC.

The jobs and the economy are the most important issues and beating Obama.

There are two debates next week--Monday and Thursday.

Will the good folks of SC All get behind one of the 2-3 conservative candidates to unseat Romney's lead?

We'll just have to see--lol

Highly unlikely--at least not enough to go for Santorum--but ya' never know.

I hope that was clear as mud...

If it were held today Obama would lose the election to an unnamed GOP candidate.

You'd better get Mr. Unnamed to run. The current RCP average of polls has Obama with a 1.8 point edge over Willard.

This has some interesting implications as to what the Indies are thinking. I'll leave you to work that out for yourself.

Santorum ain't butter, Mary!

In 2012--the indies are not with Obama--at all. If it were held today Obama would lose the election to an unnamed GOP candidate.

By less than the best of the current nominees will lose to Obama.

Muffy-at 1-2% difference in polling, it's a tie.

- losers from a loser sect select a losing candidate from a loser party

"In 2012--the indies are not with Obama--at all. If it were held today Obama would lose the election to an unnamed GOP candidate."

As others have noted, that changes when you put a named candidate into the poll. So run somebody who isn't one of these guys, and your chances go up.

........they know better than anyone if he is worth voting for.......

/There's a better political cartoon out there that makes the same basic point has the same sign but worded "Romney 2012. Oh, alright. Fine." but Spud's google-fu is weak like a cuppa Scotch tea, atm.

What is remarkable here is that this thing was held in Texas and they didn't vote for Perry!

Perry big "Prayer for Rain" rally ended up leading to worse dry weather.

Obviously, God has spoken and He aint backing Yosemite Sam's retarded kid brother.

Be Well.

There is one good thing about Evangelical Leaders, it's just that we don't know what that is, but will try to find out.

"You're obviously not a Republican. "

No I'm not, and say that with pride. I'm not a democrat either. Both parties need to get their shit together.

FF for Spud's sign in 25...

FF for Spud's sign in 25...

TY and sorry fer being a dick the other day over that "Peace through Strength" thing.

FEr some effed up reason Spud read that as Strength through Unity

Caffeine withdrawal is an ugly thing.

So, just to sum up where Spud is at on that issue...

Spud thinks the whole PNAC expanded economic hegemony backed up through invasions and occupations was a bridge too far in terms of foreign policy but that the kind of down-sizing and Isolationism imagined by Ron Paul and far leftists is naive and dangerous.

Efficient use of both soft and hard power in order to achieve necessary realpolitik ends through neo-realism seems to be the only viable middle route to take, atm.

Where does your "Peace thorough strength" philosophy think of those three plans?

Be Well.

/Won't bother asking how you feel about Wilsonian Neo-liberalism.

At risk of sounding like I'm "informed", I kinda disagree - teh invasions were simple enough, remember the no-bid contractors soaked the taxpayer on purpose. Plus, no actual reconstruction was ever intended - just an economic no man's land while they surreptitiously pipe out the oil.

It's the multiple economic failure bubbles while devaluing the very dollar used both to trade with for foreign assets, and to cover the massive bailouts and the ignored cost of the wars, but also other nations recognizing this decline and switching to other trade currency (away from the dollar, which was the enforced currency traded for oil) that PNAC didn't foresee. Or do they believed that America could withstand both a devalued name, devalued GDP and worthless fiat currency laden with international debt?

Funny how the talibaptists will rally around a babykiller if he says "Jesus loves me" often enough.

#31 .. gee that's a quandry ..

"I don't think I would want the "Evangelical Endorsement". I think the're a bunch of wackos.

The evangelicals are a cancer on the GOP. Unfortunately we cannot rid ourselves of this cancer

"Evangelical Endorsement" = join Perry in praying for rain (will be useless unless they invite Hopi Indians to rain dance)

*News Release*
Date: 1/16/12
Time: 11:18am EST

G-d Declares His Candidacy and Plans to QB Super bowl.

Tired of hearing about how he supports this candidate or this team, G-d has decided to end "all this stupid mortal nonsense" and seek the office of the President once and for all for himself. He said at a recent press conference: If you want me to solve your problems, I will solve them my way.

His platform includes, but is not limited to:

1. Earth flooding
2. First born killing
3. Insect plagues
4. Extending of the Bush Tax Cuts for two more years
5. Rib removal

Opponents have sighted G-d's omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence as unfair advantages and are seeking Campaign Supernatural Reform prior to his declaration.

Given his ability to exist in both the past and future, it is generally believed that by declaring his candidacy, G-d has in fact already won the Nov 2012 election that has yet to happen for the rest of us

as a "pro choicer", 1/2 of your belief system consists of the "pro life" agenda ..

#32 | Posted by L_E_Light

Nah, but pro-life seems to be 100% of the right's agenda. cxan't name a single pro-choice Republican, other than Rmoney. Even if they have to pretend a dead baby isn't a dead baby when It's daddy is a Republican.

here's what I love about the "evangelicals". A Pew survey found 50% of them don't believe Mormons are Christians but 85% of them will vote for a Mormon over Obama. Apparently America being a "Christian nation" is optional when the Republican isn't one...

#35-profound.

And funny.
