Byron York on why Rick Santorum lost his last election so badly.
If you read the comments, you get the idea that Santorum is largely viewed -- except by those on the Right-to-Life-Right -- as a sanctimonious, opportunistic, by-the-numbers, mealy-mouthed, hypocritical, do-nothing twit.
Which is pretty much what I wrote here just the other day.
The longer Mitt Romney hangs out there being...well, Mitt Romney...and Gingrich stews in the gravy of his own vanity and stupidity, the better the chance that this dickweed (Santorum) becomes the only viable GOP candidate.
And by "viable" we mean the only one left to lose. Mostly because he's an idiot in a sweater vest, but primarily because he's the choice of entirely the wrong set of people. His constituency is largely made up of people you wouldn't let walk your dog without professional supervision, and whose concerns are grounded in their Religion, and not in Reality.The only question about a Santorum candidacy is just how wide his margin of loss will be.
It's about time someone in authority (is there someone in GOP circles with this sort of gravitas?) smacked Gingrich and Romney in their respective heads, and got them to stop this symbiotic death-spiral of theirs. This battle over personalities they're engaged in is becoming dangerous because it might lead to a candidate like Santorum as the Standard Bearer for the Right against Obamatard in 2012.
Perhaps it's time for a new approach to this nomination process? Here's an idea: how about Romney and Gingrich get together, and decided that for the sake of saving us from the spectre of an President Obnoxious Choir Boy, they put aside their personal snit, and join forces. That they present themselves as Romney/Gingrich The Obama-Slaying Team, untied in their efforts to defeat President Odouchebag while simultaneously saving us from the creeping third-person-business-as-usual-Theocracy promised by a Santorum presidency?
Present yourselves as a united front: one dedicated to economic issues, and the other to reforming government, but both committed to strong national defense and a crushing of the islamonazi terrorists.
Call me guys: I'm willing to take that meeting and help y'all out.
I charge less than Dick Morris, too.
