Come Oh Ye Faithful to Texas
From Huffington Post
A week before the pivotal South Carolina primary, Rick Santorum’s quest to emerge as the chief alternative to Mitt Romney received a boost Saturday from a group of evangelical leaders and social conservatives who voted to back his candidacy in a last-ditch effort to stop the GOP front-runner’s march to the nomination. About three-quarters of some 150 pastors and Christian conservative political organizers meeting in Texas sided with Santorum over a home-state favorite, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich – an outcome that illustrated continuing divisions within the ranks of conservatives who make up the base of the GOP.
The gathering also reflected the lingering dissatisfaction with Romney over abortion rights and other issues, and the belief of conservatives that they need to unite behind one contender before the Jan. 21 South Carolina primary if they are to derail the former Massachusetts governor they view as too moderate. Romney leads narrowly in polls here after victories in Iowa and New Hampshire.
“There is a hope and an expectation that this will have an impact on South Carolina,” said Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, who attended the Texas meeting.
Reaganangelo’s most famous painting shows the supreme Perkins reaching out to anoint Frothy, a figure whose beauty, pose and small member are such that it seems to have been fashioned that very moment by the supreme Perkins rather than by the drawing and brush of the sainted president. From beneath the sheltering arm of the supreme Perkins, the losers also-rans look out apprehensively.
Perfect. Axel, you’re a national treasure under any name.
AxelAngelo, that’s beautiful, man. Snif.
Did Anyone else hear Bryan Fischer on NPR yesterday? Why in the fuckety-fuck is ANYONE (outside American Stinker) giving him airtime, much less NPR? Jeesh.

Nicely done but isn’t Frothy’s manhood a bit enlarged for our pleasure?
Y’know, this time last year, I was totally hoping for one of the Batshit Brigade to march to the nomination for the sheer cheap laffs value.
Now, though — having learned my lesson from rooting for Obama against Hillary in ’08 for the sublime schadenfreude potential — I’ve learned to think long-term, and am currently rooting for Barack Romney to be nominated to run against Mitt Obama. I’m already having some fine quality cheap laffs watching Barack Romney running like hell from his Massachusetts Miracle™, as Mitt Obama used it as the basis for his Historically Historic Healthcare Reform™, aka Socialist Obamacare.
I’ve just now realized there’s even more cheap laffs potential in seeing a couple of bland, overeducated, boring-assed corporate stooges trying to differentiate themselves from each other… especially since I caught a look at this National Journal article; the Money Shot: …one wonders whether this will be the first in a series of moves intended to convey to voters: you don’t need Mitt Romney. You’ve already got me.
D’ahhh ha ha ha ha ha hahhh. I can’t fuckin’ wait, man. Go Romney!

On this one I think we agree. I crack up each time Willard runs from Mass. and Obama reminds everyone where he got the idea.

How topical.
It’s sort of like the Golden Globes of endorsements.
Nice but it really doesn’t matter and no one gives a shit.
Next stop, the discount rack at Wal-Mart.
Right next to the sweater vests and 80 percent off Christmas decorations.
Axel, I haven’t seen anything that purty since 7:15 this morning, when my morning coffee did its dirty work. Nice!
Republicans have never seen that art since it features genitalia. They go for that “painter of light” crap.
