We're just seven months away from the 2012 election, and until now the Republican primary has still been a variable. Now Rick Santorum, the only other candidate capable of winning the nomination (though it would have taken a miracle), pulled the plug on his candidacy, essentially handing the nomination over to Mitt Romney. He made the announcement in Gettysburg, PA, on Tuesday.

During a news conference, Santorum said "I met a lot of folks I will never forget ... I want to thank all of you for what you have given ... which is a voice to those who, in many cases, are voiceless ... Against all odds, we won 11 states, millions of votes ..." But then Santorum went on to deliver the bad news to his supporters. "We made a decision over the weekend that, well, this presidential race is over for me, and we will suspend our campaign effective today." Still, Santorum maintains that he's "not done fighting" and he will "continue to fight for those voices." Were you rooting for Rick Santorum in the upcoming 2012 presidential election?

    I don't believe Romney is a Terrorist, but I do know Obama is. I do not agree with Romney's Religion but He will even get my Vote over that Scum Bag in the White House.

    I'm a Libertarian, not a conservative. His views are about 180 degrees from mine.

    But, I do hope that this is not due to his daughters health.

    It's a sad day for the libs.

    Gone are the days of laughing and mocking. I was hoping for at least a few more weeks. The attention now goes to Romney- Newt and Ron Paul are now #2's.

    I KNEW it! And you all thought that Ron Paul would be the next one to drop out! ;)
    Santorum finally realized that the American people won't swallow his warped morality, his twisted idea of what freedom is and his anger problems. (Not to mention his underlying dominionist attitude)

    True, but We The People want a president who is professional, mature and calm. In other words, you can't be an ordinary man to be president. You really do need to be extraordinary to handle the pressure, and Santorum can't handle it. He throws fits whenever he doesn't get his way, and we don't need a president like that.

    Christian Dominionists like Santorum throw fits because they are anti-freedom and anti-American. They answer first and foremost to their chosen supernatural entity and this is, of course, going to be in conflict with the values of a country that embraces all different types of belief systems and does not believe in discrimination and bigotry. The sad and scary thing is that there are millions of Americans who *would* gladly spit on the Constitution and Freedom and support an idiot like Santorum or Palin changing America into a Theocracy. Amazing.

    Santorum is the candidate that began the hoohah about no contracptions no abortion that began the war on women in earnest. He did a great diservice because he took the spotlight off jobs, nat'l debt. etc.

    Big Disappointment that Rick Santorum is out. I would rather have him then Romney who is not a Conservative. Time will show if he has changed.

    OK AMERICA, For those like me who wanted Rick Santorum, we just have to pinch our nose at the polls and make sure that Obama does not get reelected

    If we all pull together we can defeat that Scum Bag in the White house in November. But remember it will be important to make sure that we also take back the House and Senate too and I mean by a Major Majority so that the democrats will not be able to filibuster and screw attempts to bring up bills to undo the damage that Obama has done.

    Romney says he will overhaul the IRS, Romney says he will get rid of Obama Healthcare unless the supreme court does it first, and Romney says that we will drill for oil unlike the Liar in Chief who claims that he is drilling for oil now....


    WHATEVER ELSE AMERICA........ OBAMA HAS TO GO AND I REALLY COULD CARE LESS HOW IT HAPPENS AS LONG AS HE IS GONE.

    THIS SHOULD BE A LESSON TO AMERICAN DEMOCRATS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY THAT CAN ONLY PROMISE HOPELESSNESS AND INDEBTNESS

    There was no way Rick was going to win. As a Christian he would be pro-Israel. In the end times the WHOLE world will be against Israel. Having USA on the side of Israel is not in God's plans.
