The Secrets of Soros, Obama, Occupiers and the MSM – Chuck Norris
I believe the MSM are also bent to coronate a particular GOP candidate whom they feel could be beaten most easily by Obama. I believe that candidate is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, for the sole fact that the powers behind the MSM believe his presidential run would fracture the Republican Party and cause a third-party candidate to run, dividing the conservative vote, just as Ross Perot did in 1992 and 1996.
The real Romney – National Post
Romney has been a closet conservative for most of his political life, and upon being elected president he would come out of the closet. To win the governorship in Massachusetts, arguably the most Liberal state in the union, a conservative would need to hide his true colours
Mitt Romney – a great big nothing — malleable into any shape you want
The Washington GOP establishment may have fallen for Mitt Romney, but they are both foolish and naive to think they can beat something with nothing. Mitt Romney is, in fact, a great big nothing — malleable into any shape you want, a void into which you can place any policy position.

RON PAUL
Ron Paul: Iran Would be Justified in Closing Strategic Waterway in Response to Sanctions
Rep. Paul says defense bill assures ‘descent into totalitarianism’– The Hill
The Patriot Act, as bad as its violations against the Fourth Amendment was, was just one step down the slippery slope. The recently passed National Defense Authorization Act continues that slip into tyranny, and in fact, accelerates it significantly.”
Ron Paul is dangerous by Matt Barber
Although some polls indicate that Mr. Paul has surged in Iowa, most national polls suggest that, beyond a relatively fixed throng of blindly devoted “Paulbots,” support for the eccentric Texas lawmaker has a concrete ceiling. Putting aside for a moment Mr. Paul’s leftist policies on a variety of social issues ranging from his unwavering support for newfangled “gay rights”—to include open homosexuality in the military—to advocacy for across-the-board legalization of illicit drugs, Mr. Paul demonstrated that he has a dangerous, fundamental misunderstanding of the threat posed to every American citizen by radical Islam.
New Hampshire Publisher: Paul is a ‘Dangerous Man’ – Newsmax
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum ripped Paul in a campaign appearance for having “passed one bill in 20 years.” He also hit Paul for his defense policy ideas. “Create fortress America and leave the rest of the world to who?” Santorum said.

No doubt he’d be happier serving as Obama’s next Secretary of State.
When a cut is not a cut by Rep. Ron Paul
In spite of the rhetoric being thrown around, the real debate is over how much government spending will increase. No plan under serious consideration cuts spending in the way you and I think about it. Instead, the “cuts” being discussed are illusory, and are not cuts from current amounts being spent, but cuts in projected spending increases.
RICK SANTORUM
In What May Be Final Turn in GOP Roller Coaster, Will Santorum Get Chance at Ascent? – Fox News
A Santorum Surge or a Jindal Jig By Quin Hillyer – American Spectator
Gingrich, grizzled and grayed, will fizzle and fade. Aside from Gingrich, Santorum has the longest record of actual achievement within government. He is an extremely able retail politician, one who should never be underestimated.

The malady is far more serious than a mere affinity for mandates. The former Speaker is already on record as a supporter of insurance mandates, and it has lately come to light that he endorsed stepped-up end-of-life counseling.
