2012 republican presidential nominee IV: NEEDS MORE BOOING

Taking care of your kid is a valid way to go out.

I'm of two minds of this:

1) awesome to have them using up millions on each other before the GE, so the end of that so soon is disappointing

2) the schmuck's entire candidacy was a transmission vector for the continual reinforcement of rightwing horseshit to enter the minds of voters & pundits & media consumers on a daily basis. The more times you travel down certain neural pathways, the deeper the ruts get. Dude promoted the standard victimization and resentment of your 21st-C American Republican, and drew attention to plenty of even-more reactionary fuckheads in the process.

3) should we have a new thread now?

Don't worry there's almost a billion more dollars that Bam and Romney will burn.

xp, person on the teevee said that, did they?

all Republicans rehearse victimhood. Santorum has been a martyr for fifteen years.

the most important election of your lifetime: 2012 american general election thread

Santorum's particular flavor is different than Romney's, tho.

gee rush your headline much

haha i think this is a weird bloomberg style book quirk http://search1.bloomberg.com/search/?content_type=all&page=1&q=%22person%20says%22

lol that's so weird

What a quitter. What would he have done if he were president and his daughter was ill? Quit that, too?

Seriously disappointed they could not be bothered to stage a reunion of Santorum.jpg, a la the Get Back cover.

pplains has turned this into the 2008 Hillary: Needs More Kahlua thread...which is a lot more interesting than what's happening with that other lot.

lol

In more mundane news Romney filed for an extension on doing his taxes, and there is older video of Romney saying poor Moms should experience the dignity of work (outside the home) if they want to get government benefits

new thread dudes

LOCK

No need for Part Five, the Mittening, right? This just melds into the GE thread?

Yup.
