Well, now. Our friend Rick Moran seems to think Santorum’s long-term primary chances are trending toward the good given the former Senator’s ability to pull in lunch-pail Democrats throughout the rust belt — an argument you all heard here months ago, sure, but one that is finally gaining some traction with the Right People, many of whom long ago wrote off Santorum as unserious or unelectable, and characterized his rise as a temporary anomaly.
So we’ve got that going for us, I guess.
You know, one of the advantages of being violent, predatory Visigoths bent on violating language with a purist’s zeal and a hateful ideological intransigence is that we’re often first into the breach, doing all the raping and pillaging and exterminating of our political rivals so that our more refined and dignified betters can come along later on after the carnage is cleared and set up a fine house on the salted ruins.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Gas prices keep rising like this, and Santorum can talk from now until election day about Teh Satanic Conspiracy against G0d-Fearing REAL ‘Mericans. Or Newt can talk about Moon bases and Jupiter Missions tasked with keeping that damned monolith thing from spying on us. Or Mitt can talk about —well whatever it is crazy Mormons are supposed to talk about in the fever-dreams of the Elite.
And none of it will matter
Is Michael Gerson a compassionate conservative because he’s a moron, or is he a moron because he’s a compassionate conservative?
What, there’s a difference in the arrow of causality? Do tell.
Does any such difference result in some other judgment than that all we know of causality is bled out in the past and barred from necessarily bleeding in the future?
What do they call it when two different words mean exactly the same thing?
“What do they call it when two different words mean exactly the same thing?”
A Popsicle?
My guess would be that Gerson is a condescending ruling class elitist.
What’s Gerson done this time?
Nothing especially in particular Ernst, than to simply be a cycle in himself.
But will Newt step aside, bow out and give Santorum a chance to consolidate the non-Mitt non-Establishment? Or will he be a spoilsport to the bitter end?
And as for those who think Santorum won’t win because he won’t cave in to the Rule Of The Anus, or cave in to those who want free birth control that out of pocket costs less per month than their monthly *cell phone bills*, ask yourself if these anally or vaginally driven people will EVER vote for Newt, or for Mitt.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
There is a particular type of person who is never satisfied unless his eyes are on the horizon.
