Local news anchor reports Rick Santorum being treated like a "rock star"
at the RNC. She referred to the more conservative delegates as Santorum's "groupies". This despite the fact that Santorum was passed over as a prime time speaker in favor of more "moderate" members of the party.

This was on KDKA in Pittsburgh this morning.

2. He is their rock star
He represents the extremis intolerant right wing of the party, which is to say he’s a mainstream Republican.

4. What a disgusting thought, Santorum having groupies.
Apparently, he's speaking tonight at 7:00. You're right, hardly a prime time spot.

Even the Repugs don't want to watch him.

15. The Daily Show repeats at 7:00, same time as Santorum's speech
Last night's show was great. I plan to watch it again rather than being nauseated by Santorum.

Hi neen! Glad to hear that your Kerry Edwards pin didn't enrage any crazy right-wingers last night. :hi:

18. Hey, you never know about Penn Twp.!
I got local committee headquarter info today, if you're interested.

A gentleman is supposed to call me back to let us know how we can specifically help.

12. After Arnold calling the unemployed and uninsured " Economic Girlie Men" !
Which is what he really did when he said. "To those who doubt this economy don't be girlie men". I guess when you are a multimillionaire you can afford to be a "boy". Nothing surprises me.

17. we need to start encouraging Santorum '08
e-mail Rick, spread the word, grassroots. Imagine if Rudy and somehow the constitution was amended to allow Arnold to run. Squeeze Sanitorium in the mix and he could steal the nomination, ensuring our '08 victory.

19. We would dearly love to see Chris Heinz run against Sanctimonious Santorum
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 12:30 AM by neen
That would be so sweet, to have a Heinz holding that Senate seat again. His father was a great and well-loved senator.

Go Chris! Take that Senate seat back!

ARE YOU HEARING ME CHRIS?

20. Has he gained the support of the A.K.C. yet?
I'd been sort of wistfully hoping it might be so . . .

23. Considering how holier than thou he is, this Santorum info is all
so ironic. I couldn't think of a better guy to bestow it all upon.
