Michigan and Arizona GOP Primary Results
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-02-29/michigan-and-arizona-gop-primary-results
With much needed primary wins yesterday in Arizona and Michigan, Republican presidential candidate Governor Mitt Romney is back on top. The results give him much needed momentum as the focus now shifts to next week's votes in 10 states, Super Tuesday. Former Pennsylvania Governor Rick Santorum, who came in a close second in Michigan, had the support of Tea Party activists and evangelicals. His campaign claims his strong showing there demonstrates his ongoing appeal to conservative elements of the Republican party: What yesterday's results mean for the GOP race ahead.

If you're gonna hide your money in the Caymans why not run for President there and let their police and military protect your property?
I agree with the above, I don't want to get up in the morning and go to work. I just want to have sex and let the government pay for my for my love children. Oh, yea those oligarchs, 1% scum, their the problem. Lets just hope that Obama can once again ignite the power of hope and change to see this slide through. By the way, I hate men too.
These T-Party radicals frighten me. They want to take everything government does and privatize it. They even want the return of pay toilets. Wait until these radicals put a meter on every church pew,and confessional.
The election cycle and Grocery shopping are very similar. I go to the same big box grocery store every week around the same time and buy pretty much the same stuff every week. The aisles are usually blocked with inconsiderate people leaving their carts in the middle of the aisle while looking at the items on the shelves like they have never seen them before. The candy and chips isles are the democrat isles, nothing good for you there just empty calories for instant gratification. The conservative republican isles are the processed canned foods isle, the ingredient labels are so long and filled with contradictions that no one can figure out what's in them, but if you read enough of them you find they are pretty much the same as the ingredients of what can be found in the candy and chips aisles. Then you come to the libertarian true conservative healthy food aisle, usually empty of people and you can find healthy choices lining the shelves. There is no wasting time with coupons here because the good stuff doesn't need a bribe for you to put it in your cart. You welcome the honesty and integrity in the products and the comfort knowing you have made the right choice.

Time to check out. Moving my cart with the grace of a gazelle through the partisan clogged aisles, I get to the backed up check out lines. Half of them are backed up with food stamp wielding democrats exceeding their limit with democrat donuts, candy and bottled water. The others are are backed up with republicans and their piles of neoconservative coupons. The cashiers can't understand the coupons and the republicans are screaming about Ron Paul conspiracy theories. I, with my cart reasonably filled with Ron Paul and Wheaties, as usual not bothered with mindless distractions see an open space in the self check out line, I move swiftly and arrive there first. A Rick Santorum supporter also trying to make a move towards the same aisle with his overloaded cart had a major spill and sticky filthy neoconservatism was all over the floor. I check out with timely precision and go home and dread my visit next week to do it all over again.

Do your guest think that when Santorum ultimately "threw up" all over himself?
When candidates like Gingrich, Santorum etc prance their alleged religious beliefs across the national stage why is it that moderators or host of MSM outlets do not challenge their hypocritical stances? So many of these candidates are clearly pro fetus but they are not pro life. Many of these candidates do not support health care for all, equity in education, fair wages all pro life issues. I want to know how they would try to explain this disconnect? They opened up the door...fair game
I actually think Romney is more consistent in that arena. Access to health care for all which is clearly a pro life issue
I want Romney to win. I want to witness Obama and Romney go at it. Romney has had to move so far right you can barely recognize his record but if he can move back to the middle...the Obama/Romney race is going to be tight.
My vote will go to which ever one takes a stand on Iran based on facts not on what Israel wants....which is clearly a military attack.
Also which one promises to go after those who brought the US economy to the brink
Love the independent authority determining the congressional districts in California. Here in Florida, Democrats and Republicans in safe districts cannot afford to reach across the isle in DC for fear of losing support in the district back home. Unless we change this nationwide, we will continue to experience the logjam on Capital Hill
All four of these guys on the repub side make me want to throw up.
How can any right thinking person think that these rich people are interested in the welfare of the average working person!
I think they are all sleazy and out of touch with the real world. Most Americans can hardly afford to drive one car much less have four of five vehicles around the house to drive. As far as the religiosity of these people, If any of them get in they would take us back to a place that I'm sure I don't want to go.
I don't want a theocracy here in the USA. Everybody has the right to make up their own minds about faith matters. If there is truth in the beliefs, it would be very difficult for anyone to be turned away. This posturing of faith leaves many people cold when we see how those who claim it act toward the rest of us.
Your guest are completly wrong about what Pres. Obama said about college. If you go back to his state of the union address, he said that he wanted people to committ to ONE YEAR of post-high school education; in technical, apprentiship or college training. He never said he wanted all people to get a four-year college degree.
jlynwood, you are so right. What we need is to drive the country in to total poverty with deficet spending. I look forward to our savings having no value and long for the day of being a slave to the government. The government won't have any money though because our borrow and spend days will be only a distant memory because no one will lend us any money to maintain anything close to what we have now. Our currency will be worthless because the government will have printed so much of it to pay the national debt.

As a father and the provider,would you run your home like the T-Party wants government run? Would you buy the newest gun or box of grenades, before you had food,medical and dental care,or education for your family?
They tell me we are above mere animals.Time to prove it.
The Kel Tec KSG is pretty cool!
Santorum's speech, indirectly points to the fact that half the people that go to college lose their faith. That's not a problem; its people getting smarter. If this guy wins, we all lose.
Dreams---
I was born in the 1930's and as a young boy I was involved with a boy's club. I remember being shown a film of the moon through a telescope. It allowed us to see our moon at a distance of approximately 100 miles. I'm an old man now and I find it sad that America doesn't dream of great accomplishments anymore I think we are so involved with our purse strings that we only look for ways to better our economy. I still believe we should always strive to be a compassionate country. I believe we should do what is reasonable and wise, I don't believe we should stop helping young democracies. I don't think we should capture and deport people across an invisible border knowing that some of those same people have been here and are as old as I am. Some of them have college age children and grandchildren. That's a fact. I grew around Mexican's families and had some good friends that were Mexican. Their families came here to work and make America their home. They are still here even though some are old like me they never became legal citizens and they are afraid they will be sent to a country that they don't even remember. They never took the time to do the paper work to become citizen's and after awhile they never thought it was necessary or beneficial to go back and add their name to a list. A list that is not compassionate but only looks for those who have educational qualifications to advance the American economy. Certainly not those who only knew manual labor and would never be accepted back. I only can pray that God will let us dream of great accomplishments again and give us compassion and love that will guide the penning of our laws and regulations. I am therefore leaning toward Newt Gingrich as he has shown compassion and reason toward the immigration problem. And an eye on future space exploration.
