BloggeRhythms 3/23/2012

As regular readers of this blog know, I've said many times in the past that it really doesn't matter what people say or promise, it's only what they actually do that counts. And in that regard, yesterday, those who are astute learned a great deal about Rick Santorum. Because, although he might win the Louisiana primary tomorrow, he's running out of states and time to try and win the Republican presidential nomination. And that's putting significant pressure on him right now, which brings me to my point.

Whereas Mitt Romney's lead in states won and delegate count keep rising, it's becoming quite apparent that Santorum's strong "conservative" beliefs are not getting him the votes and support he expected. So, once again he made a remark that's totally outlandish by stating that there's really no difference between Romney and the current president. 

Now, to me, without listing the specifics making up the huge gap in ideology between Romney and Obama, much less any Democrat at all, Santorum's suggestion is totally off the mark. However, I think it demonstrates much more than that. Because what it really illustrates is that when in trouble, Santorum reacts like a spoiled child not getting what he wants resulting in extremely immature behavior.

And in this case, the most important aspect of it all is that this is a presidential campaign. Therefore, the winner has a very good chance of becoming the leader of the greatest nation on Earth. And I, for one, believe that that person must not only be mature and able to remain calm.cool and collected under pressure, he has to be able to rise above the rest when tested.

Consequently, if someone rattles as easily as Santorum, and can do no better that try to insult and slander an opponent who's proving almost impossible to beat on merit, I think Santorum's got his descriptions mixed up. Because it isn't Mitt who's acting like the fumbling, bumbling fool Obama is under pressure, that's being done by Santorum himself.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
