    I checked out your link & I checked out the 240p (10+/- abt Santorum) report that explains Santorum’s supposed misdeeds. It looks to me as though Mr. Santorum is guilty of pursuing issues he believed in, and receiving donations from people who were positively affected by his efforts. In one instance in particular in the report on beyonddelay.com, his political efforts took place in April 2003, and he received donations from folks in healthcare in Dec 2003. These folks wouldn’t benefit directly because of medicare *equal* reimbursement, but eligible patients who were residents of Puerto Rico would have medicare pony up to pay for their care. Since they pay in, why shouldn’t medicare pay out? If those healthcare folks do like I do, (donate to candidates who do things I like,) saw what Mr. Santorum was doing and demonstrating approval, if that is him taking a bribe or pandering, well then we all better stop contributing to the campaigns of those we really approve of. So, I will make a point of NOT donating as much as I can afford to those who support and make efforts to forward the causes I believe in. His other supposed “bribes” were more of the same. He does something folks like, they donate. It just happens that the ones doing the approving and donating have the means to donate more than the average joe, enough to notice but still donate within the law. There‘s more in that report I could comment on but I’m out of space.

    @BLACK9897
    The idea that RP is “the only true conservative candidate…” is laughable, positively ludicrous and at the very least – delusional. RP is some sort of multi-hybid liberal, hypocrite, Libertarian, listed Republican. There can be no other explanation for an established politician who could ally himself with Barney Frank on issues like marijuana and defense dept. cuts – with Soros allies no less. And if his stance on his involvement in his “newsletters” is to be taken on face value, he is either a liar or unqualified to be President of the United States.

    And don’t ask me for my references either any of you Paulbots out there – do you own research – if you cannot find it – DO NOT VOTE.

    Well Done Michele! Keep fighting the good fight!
    Many want to claim conservatism, but Congresswoman Bachmann is the real deal. She doesn’t waiver nor buckle under the political weight of Washington. She is a patriot and will continue to serve the conservative movement as we reach to take our country back!

    I’m sure Michelle fully thought God wanted her to run ….and perhaps He did. Just because she may not be our next President doesn‘t mean He didn’t want her to run for other reasons — to make known nationally her deep convictions and plans, etc. that would help our goal of defeating Obama, etc. It probably helped in ways we may not know. It also doesn‘t mean she won’t be chosen to be in a very important, authoritative position in the next Admin. to help further. Same goes for the others — we must be encouraged to know that God is always in control and if, “we the people”, will repent, pray, act – He WILL intervene to make sure we have someone who will restore us…..along with a majority in the Senate, but we must have enough “numbers” to recognize this. I believe He allowed Obama to become President to wake us up to the severity of our problems – that’s what it usually takes, unfortunately. Note that many are being expposed for what’s really going on — that is encouraging in itself. I like Santorum & glad he only lost first place by 8 votes. That is encouraging also. Onward and upward conservatives !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Much admiration goes to Michelle Bachman. She has run an admirable campaign, and is an admirable person.
    Still missing Herman Cain.
    From here, my support goes to Rick Santorum.
    Ron Paul–loose cannon, flaky on foreign politics, no friend to our allies.
    Romney–two words: Obama-lite
    Rick Santorum 2012

    Hopefully her supporters are smart like her campaign chairman was, and switch to Ron Paul

    its crazy how politics works. The candidate everyone dismissed is suddenly in the same place Bachmann once was in when she one the Iowa straw poll. Sad that Michele is leaving, but its probably best. Best of luck to Santorum now

    I just donated to Rick Santorum. It’s time to “raise a standard the wise and the honest can repare” I will not allow the media or the republican party tell me who they want me to vote for again! No more John McCains!

      actually if you want the only ture conservative candidate then you would go with ron Paul. Santorum is an ok 2nd pick. but RP is much better.

      Rick IS a John McCain… look at his Policy on Africa… he is another compassionate conservative who wants to waste our tax dollars on AIDS prevention in Africa, and to PAY FOR AFRICA’S DEBT. This is merely a small example of how Rick Santorum habitually supports a government ruled by his morals, not by the Constitution.

      Bye Bye Bachmann !!! It’s been real.
      Thank god I won’t have to listen to the broken record anymore.
      “I’m a ex-federal tax Attorney” and
      “I am determined to make Obama a One-term President”.
      Hopefully, this Global-elite minion and Neocon will have NO political career, after this.
      If people ever wake up, that will be the outcome.

      RON PAUL educates Santorum on Foreign policy in front of the World, and makes him look like the little misinformed schoolboy that he is:

    I think it is logical for her to drop out, we need to unite on one conservative candidate, and that may as well be Santorum!

    Congratulations to the left and the liberal media. Another woman candidate bites the dust. Great manipulating and by all means, let’s keep these MEN in charge, since they are doing such a FINE JOB!
