Santorum: 'Race for us is over'
Even the web server does not believe it.
[QUOTE=The freeman;35514334]That's because alot of colleges often recommend it or offer an option of geometry/calc/analysis/trig but that's another argument.
But are you seriously saying that "many" people who watch the news needs more logic in their life..?[/QUOTE]
"More logic in their life"? Are you trolling? What kind of person would say that?
I am saying that people need to critically think more, versus believing what they hear/see without first questioning it and comparing it to their experiences, knowledge, and reasoning.
[QUOTE=GlebGuy;35512920]After the whole calling Obama in a racist slur incident, this was bound to happen.[/QUOTE]
Now, as much as I hate Rick Santorum, the whole racial slur incident was just wishful thinking because it did not sound like he was going to call him that at all. It sounded like he was going to make a point and had a mental block.

You start doing this first, then we'll look in to it for the general population
I don't like Santorum, but it coming at the price of his daughter is quite sad.
Now we wait until Romney,Gingrich and Ron Paul do the same.

Because he was totally going to say "negotiating", amirite? Because people regularly stop at the "nig" syllable, then stutter and act like they've avoided a horrible mistake.

Hehey, that sounds like my sex life!
[QUOTE=neutra;35514350]Santorum pulls out. Theres a joke there…..somewhere…[/QUOTE]
The one that should have pulled out was his father...Just saying..
[QUOTE=David29;35512897]Alternative thread title:
Rick Santorum stops making himself look stupid. Temporarily.[/QUOTE]
I doubt the man was stupid - not many presidential candidates are - he was just stuck in his ways and beliefs, like many conservatives.
[QUOTE=Asgard;35512929][B]He's still continuing his campaign, read the OP.[/B][/QUOTE]
Nope, maybe you should read the OP.
[quote]He had pledged to continue campaigning through the upcoming Pennsylvania primary. But the combination of his daughter's sickness and recent poll numbers showing him possibly losing his home state apparently prompted the early departure.[/quote]
He DID plan on continuing his campaign but his daughter's health and the fact that he would've most likely lost in his own home state made him drop out of the race.
This isn't really good, it would have been much easier for obama to go up against Rick than it will be against Romney.
[QUOTE=Heizenberg;35513861]
These sheep don't have opinions to start, they develop opinions because these people on television sounds so convincing. Doesn't mean that what they are saying is factual.
Let me end this bullshit right here.
If you weren't a "media sheep" you form an opinion based on FACTS, not other people's opinions. Fox News literally has a total of ONE hour (my estimation, could be less) during its 24-hour run-time in the day. The rest is total opinion.
You could say, "well the newspaper has an opinions page, an editorial, etc.". Well that shit is labeled "editorial" or "opinions" Fox News makes everything seem like fact. People who watch the news for facts are bombarded with opinions, and the sheep mistake these opinions for facts.[/QUOTE]
Your making the baseless assumption that everyone who watches fox news does so blindly and without any sort of outside or personal influence.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;35515859]This isn't really good, it would have been much easier for obama to go up against Rick than it will be against Romney.[/QUOTE]
I don't think Obama would have a problem going against Jesus Christ. The man caught Osama Bin Ladin, that's basically all he needs to say whenever he is asked any question.
Moderator: First question, how do you plan on fixing the economic woes?
Romney: Blah blah blah, investment plan, blah blah blah
Obama: I killed bin Laden

[QUOTE=Heizenberg;35514145]
6 months ago, but I'll bite. That proves my point even more. He was beating out other candidates left an right, no I'm not saying he was #1, but he was getting results like he could be a top 3 candidate, but the media/news networks didn't shine the spot light upon him because he doesn't benefit them in any way, and doesn't support the rhetoric and goal that theirs is (whatever it may be).[/QUOTE]
Ron Paul at no point was beating out other candidates left and right. He is last or second to last in the majority of the primary's.

Did you not see the previous posts where I specifically said "many" and saying that it's closer to 50% of viewers than 99%?

I hate to post macros, but you were curious so here's one I found on facebook:

No I did not, but that is still a baseless assumption.
[QUOTE=BusterBluth;35513164]Ron Paul didnt stand a chance when he started. He is too far right for most people, thats just how it is.[/QUOTE]
Republicans hate him because he's "too liberal"
[QUOTE=BusterBluth;35513164]Ron Paul didnt stand a chance when he started. He is too far right for most people, thats just how it is.[/QUOTE]
I'd like to add that in addition to his extreme views, Ron Paul has the unfortunate implication of writing a number of racist newsletters from the 80's/90's that surface everytime someone goes digging for dirt on him. The Mainstream Media won't touch him because it's suicide for them to try and promote someone who is for all intents and purposes a [I]racist lunatic[/I].

Both the GOP and Democrats hate him because he's [I]batshit insane[/I].
Mah prayers are answered! Thank Odin.

Except he has explained countless times that despite having his name on the newsletters, he never personally wrote the letters or knew about their content until his presidential campaigning when his opponents tried to spread muck about him.

you're hilarious, I'm reading all of your posts like you're joking because to believe anything else would be absurd.

goodbye sweet frothy prince
Finally, he is making a mockery of the US system.
AWWW YEAAH.
This was on Dutch News as well, except it said he was quitting the presidential race?
