I’ll bet the Santorum is looking and feeling really frothy after that threesome last night.
I'll admit it; I am utterly clueless about internal GOP politics. I know there are a lot of serious Christians out there, but how many times can there be a resurrection? And while I hesitate to use the words “Santorum” and “second coming” in the same sentence, I wonder if this is supposed to be a precursor to the end of times.
I do wish the righties would pick their guy and unite already. Maybe the fact this would please people like me is why they don't do it.
Same Sex Marriage as the Triumph of the Conservatives (part 97):
"Conservatives should want as many people as possible to live in institutions and social norms that promote stability, faithfulness and compassion. Marriage is an institution at the centre of society. It is because I value it so much that I want it to be extended. … [It] is civilising, stabilising, a hugely important institution for bringing people together. But if marriage is fossilised and exclusive, that has only limited reach. [David Cameron's] attempt to enlarge and modernise the institution should not be seen as a threat to marriage but as its saviour," – Tim Montgomerie, Tory activist, editor and founder of the ConservativeHome blog and co-founder of the Conservative Christian Fellowship.

State Senate Republicans all want to take credit for the gravy, while disclaiming accountability for the mess they make; Andrew "Genug" Gounardes says "enough already!"

Ed Towns on Hakeem Jeffries spokesperson Lupe Todd: ""Ironically, his spokesperson not long ago defended me against some of the charges she is now leveling. I guess she has no objections to getting paid to play on that level."
He's absolutely right. I would definitely vote for Ed Towns against Lupe Todd Ed Towns gets a jumpstart from PACs, and Hakeem Jeffries' camp pounces | Capital New York www.capitalnewyork.com
Wow, rabid Brooklyn GOP blogger Russ Gallo has followed Gatemouth’s lead in noting that honoring Iraq war vets is more important than honoring the Giants (but why not do both?)
On Monday morning, I wrote: "Does the Meadowland have a canyon of heroes? Do outlet stores count? If we do a ticker tape parade for a Jersey team, can Iran War Veterans at least come and watch?"
On December 29, I wrote: "The War may have been a stupid idea, but Jimmy Oddo is right–why aren't we giving our Iraq veterans a parade?" A councilman wants to know why New York is not having a parade for Iraq veterans | Capital New York www.capitalnewyork.com
I’m Glad Russ is willing to join a cause championed by Rachel Maddow. Hope Russ doesn't get mad that I think the war was a stupid idea; (David Storobin has the same position as me–good luck finding his post though). Brooklyn GOP Radio: Canyon of Faux Heroes brooklyngopradio.blogspot.com
From the Annals of the Gatemouth Facebook Page:
Gate: Despite all his New York bashing, Newt must have taken solace from that last minute victory. On the other hand, the Giants had only been down by two points.
Sam Hudis: Of course the game winning touch down was made accidentally when Ahmad Bradshaw lost his balance and fell on his ass. I'm not sure what the analogy would be there.
Gate: What? You don't think Mitt is capable of losing his balance and falling on his ass ?
