Serious question - do Americans respond well to things like that flag in the background?
If David Cameron came out and spoke in front of a massive Union Jack, I and many others would think it looks embarrassing, like he's trying too hard. The flags at the side would be fine; personally I could live without them but that's within the realms of each to their own.


More like they respond poorly to its absence. Back in the '08 election Obama said he wouldn't wear a flag pin on his lapel because words and actions should speak louder than hollow symbols. It didn't take him long to start wearing it again, and as far as I know he still does.

That's a pity. People might actually VOTE for Romney! With Santorum, we had nothing to worry about

I think this kind of thinking was actually quite dangerous. There are a LOT of people who are going to vote republican just because they want to vote against Obama. To assume that they wouldn't have voted in a crazy like Santorum is just as naive as when people thought that Bush Jr. couldn't win.


Firstly, ever heard of Swing voters? You know, people who aren't aligned with either Republican or Democrat and may vote based on candidate.
Secondly, "dangerous"? What like looking into the mirror and saying "Bloody Mary" three times... or worse, "Biggie Smalls"? But I do forget voting isn't mandatory in your crazy country
Third and most importantly, it was a joke

Obama ... becomes more and more shrill every passing day.


Project much?

Nope, sorry Santorum, you have to carry your dead presidential campaign to full term.


We really need something more than upvotes for such a great comment.

But first, a rape by sonogram. Or is that only in Texas?

My sister posted that on her facebook today. I thought it was too good not to share.

Because the media actually works for your side, and pretty much has for at least 20 years now.

Right-wingers bitching about the media sounds like the entitled whining of spoiled cry-babies to liberals, because apparently you don't understand this.

This sort of substance-free "reporting" is pretty much the worst they ever do to Republicans, and all it really does is cause you guys to rally around them all the more.

I couldn't care less whether Santorum thinks Romney is the "worst Republican" or the "worst Republican to combat Obama on healthcare", they're both bad people who will do their level best to rape, pillage, and burn as much of America as they can get away with.

A Democratic/liberal press would focus on that, not these silly little catfights between wannabe tyrants.

The non-FOX media work for Obama and the democrats instead of the people. Why the GOP doesn't understand this after 60 years beats me.

>> ^lantern53:

I hate Santorum, but I really despise that clueless re-distributor and debt-monger Obama.
God send us someone who knows what the hell they're doing.


God sent you someone. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing and curses at reporters when he gets frustrated.

>> ^jmzero:

I hate Santorum, but I think he's in the right here. As a politician, he should probably be able to brush this stuff off better - but that kind of stupid question would frustrate me as well.
The media should be embarrassed by how they've covered this campaign.
That said, Santorum (and the rest of the GOP field) have encouraged this mindset, and have been all-too-happy to jump on speaking mistakes (or tidbits that sound bad out of context) themselves rather than focus on any kind of substantive policy differences.


But then they act passively and brush this off, the reporters get worse and worse... I think he should be able to voice his opinion with either humor or this type of reaction.
