I was alerted to a write up by a Santorum supporting Texas Tea Partier that exemplifies ALL THE WORST stereotypes the left has of us. In this article they accuse PoltiJim of:
- Acting like a Progressive
- Tweeting “disgusting” tweets
- Being a “Newt Campaign surrogate”
- Calling conservative women SLUTTS
- Attacking a good Texas Tea Party person for no reason
Wow.
I’m breathless at the unresearched ignorance of THIS Tea Party person. It fits the screed of Santorum supporters which is , “if you don’t like Rick you must be a LIBERAL!”
I address the issue of the Tea Party and some commenter named “RickisrightforAmerica” in my COMMENT to their site as I posted below. But for a quick insight for those remaining conservatives who are not mindless robots who follow whoever their favorite blogger supports, some of these need to be addressed.
- They mention my article to Ramparts360 as an “attack” WHOM I PRAISED BOTH IN THE BLOG AND ON TWEETS AS BEING “dead on” on OTHER CONSERVATIVE MATTERS. In fact, what I addressed was a continuing pattern of Sanitariums to repeat debunked lies that their candidate continues to spew WITHOUT CHECKING FACTS. I also ask people to SUBSCRIBE TO RAMPARTS360, something I’m sure you are too narrow minded to do to those other conservatives you happen to disagree with. (If I’m a Progressive I’m a very bad one at recruiting people to listen to conservative points of view.)
Excuse me, Voices Empower – whoever you are – if I don’t allow YOU TO DETERMINE WHO IS A TEA PARTIER. Excuse me also for not wanting to support a fake candidate who ENDORSED AND CAMPAIGNED FOR PRO-Partial Birth Abortion CANDIDATES! - NOTICE that neither Ramparts360 or this group ever ADDRESS THE CONTENT OF THESE CHARGES AGAINST SANTORUM. (Isn’t THAT out of the Progressive handbook? ATTACK THE ATTACKER?) If EITHER OF YOU are genuine conservatives I CHALLENGE YOU TO A LIVE DEBATE ON RICK SANTORUM VERSUS NEWT GINGRICH ON RED, RIGHT and BLUE or some other FORUM IMMEDIATELY. (But don’t worry Santorum supporters – like your candidate neither Ramparts 360 or Voices America will have the courage to actually debate facts because they don’t have them.)
- A false accusation is that I am affiliated with the Gingrich campaign. Funny, the writer somehow ignores the 5 PRO-SANTORUM ARTICLES ON PoiltiJim including this one. (Are all Santorum supporters this unintelligent or poor in their reporting? If so – it might explain why they still support Rick.)
- The real people acting like Progressive are Santorum supporters who make excuses for EVERY DOCUMENTED EXAMPLE of his lies and hypocrisy without arguing INTELLECTUAL FACTS. (Perhaps they need an example of how those of us with BRAINS do it for our candidate. Gingrich is attacked for being “for global warming” which I acknowledge, and then DOCUMENT why this is a half-truth the likes of what the Obama campaign would use.)
Where is their point by point documentation of their charges (including those libeled against PolitiJim? Yes, if there is NOT a retraction I will consider pursuing legal action.) - The kneejerk and supposed defender of the Texas Tea Party, not only gets the title of the Rick Santorum series incorrect (it’s SLUTSS not SLUTTS), like her candidate – she pretends it means something I CLEARLY DISAVOW IN MULTIPLE PLACES. (And we are supposed to believe them when they say their candidate is right when they can’t even report BASIC information correctly?) SLUTSS stands for Santorum Lovers Unwilling To Soberly Syllogize.
Of which this writer is a PRIME example.
Here is my response to their article as posted on their site. Their site says the comment is “currently awaiting moderation.” It will be interesting to see if THEY even allow opposing viewpoints to be printed. If not, I hope I win enough in the lawsuit to donate more money to Newt Gingrich.
AND BY THE WAY. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO USE ANDREW BREITBART’S NAME. BREITBART was for TRUTH. It is why he came out against the likes of Glenn Beck (who also was a Santorum supporter by the way.) Until you start EXHIBITING IT, I suggest you quit acting like Glenn Beck and FALSELY ATTACKING other conservatives who disagree with you.
Hi y'all!! PolitiJim here.
Well, congratulations for making Tea Parties look every bit the MSM image of uneducated hicks who are blinded by their cultish faith of religious leaders.
I AM A TEA PARTIER INCLUDING A VOLUNTEER AT KING STREET PATRIOTS AND TRUE THE VOTE in Houston. I attended the FIRST TEA PARTY RALLY IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA.
Get your damn facts straight and quit embarrassing our movement and yourselves.
I'll start with "RickisrightforAmerica"s comment first, and attempt to bring some sanity to your little world of disinformation. Unlike you all - I will provide FACTUAL documentation and let the readers decide for themselves who is arguing from fact versus blind faith.
As posted in a PolitiJim tomorrow - Rick Santorum ALSO endorsed mandates. (I'll give you one link - the rest you will have to find in tomorrow's article on PolitiJim) (http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/01/09/401038/santorum-supported-individual-health-insurance-mandate-in-1994-republican-primary/?mobile=nc)
And Santorum STILL does, when it helps prolife causes.
Gingrich on the other hand was for it WHEN THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION CAME UP WITH IT AS A WAY TO STOP HILLARYCARE. Unlike Rick, Newt has NEVER argued for an expansion of government simply to control and mandate lives (again documented tomorrow in 5 videos on PolitiJim.)
If one merely follows the documentation on the RICK series listed above, you can see for yourself that RICK SANTORUM may not have sat on a couch - but he BLATANTLY embraced Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton and Joe Liebermann ALL ON LIBERAL GOVERNMENT EXPANSION PROGRAMS IN HIS OWN ADS.
Not only is it an outright LIE to say that Santorum "has never been for these issues" (or is the only conservative in the race - it is worse. Santorum BAILED OUT the steel industry (www.justin.fm/2012/02/senator-santorum-flat-out-lies-about.html)
If that's not all HE FORCED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO DISPENSE contraceptives - http://thenewamerican.com/culture/faith-and-morals/10930-santorums-contradictions-a-record-of-forcing-catholics-to-pay-for-contraception
He "never" was for these things?
You can PRETEND all you want that Rick is conservative - but the people who make up the TEA PARTY in Pennsylvania DIDNT THINK SO. THEY VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT in 2006. How else do you think he lost by such a huge margin? (PROOF: www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_317352.html) You will notice that Rick's voting record has been LEFT OF CENTER in years after he was immediately elected - and uber-conservative the year before he had to start running again.
Want another? Here is a conservative PA blogger from 2006 that would not vote for Rick (http://www.libertyreborn.com/2006/10/27/if-santorum-is-%E2%80%9Cconservative%E2%80%9D-we%E2%80%99re-in-troubleif-santorum-is-%E2%80%9Cconservative%E2%80%9D-we%E2%80%99re-in-trouble/)
Global Warming WAS SCIENTIFICALLY BACKED up until the IPCC scandal. When the data proved it - Gingrich changed and was the KEYNOTE REBUTTAL WITNESS TO CAP AND TRADE!!! If he was "for" global warming then why did conservative Republicans select HIM to battle Al Gore? It is because the DATA changed his mind.
Just like Rick Santorum who changed his mind on abortion. Except Santorum claims he was never pro-abortion. EVEN THIS YEAR HE DENIES TESTIMONY BY HIS OWN FAMILY http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/28/santorums-past-paints-picture-of-pro-choice-moderate/
Should we hold against him his fornication with Karen before they were married? OF COURSE NOT.
PEOPLE CHANGE.
There is a difference. Gingrich comes clean about his mistakes and changes. Santorum lies about it.
Why did the TeaParty not support Rick Santorum (and still doesn't in numbers of Romney)? Lots of reasons including the fact that while Gingrich PAID TO ADVERTISE FOR PEOPLE TO JOIN THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT (he appeared with Hannity at the FIRST Tea Party on 4/15/2009) Rick Santorum WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
Rick "says" he was against TARP, but in the ONLY INTERVIEW he gave during that period (2 weeks after TARP passed) HE WOULDNT EVEN ADDRESS IT AND INSTEAD WANTED TO TALK ABOUT MOVIES. Gingrich? Gave multiple national interviews, wrote 2 op-ed pieces AGAINST TARP and spoke FORCEFULLY against it in speeches including AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB. (http://www.politijim.com/2012/02/valentines-day-truth-massacre-on-tarp.html)
The same is true with ObamaCare and Cap and Trade. While Gingrich was DOING EVERYTHING HE COULD FOR TEA PARTY ISSUES - RICK SANTORUM WAS SILENT.
Well - not quite true. His ONLY SPEECH at the beginning of the Tea Party SLAMMED THE Libertarians in the TEA PARTY while he admitted that he supported RINO Mitch McConnell's candidate over Rand Paul!!
Gee, I wonder why the Tea Party doesn't support Rick.
