Rick Santorum bows out of Presidential race — Tea Party for Indiana?

Rick Santorum bows out of Presidential race | Washington Times Communities.

Some love comes from the Communities of the Washington Times for Santorum as he bows out of the presidential race.

This leaves only Romney to have any serious chance of winning the nomination.

Once more, Indiana has no real voice in choosing the Republican candidate for the Presidency. In light of this trend, do you think it would make sense for the Tea Party to become Indiana’s opposition party to the Democrats?

Speaking of Tea Party, We the Hoosiers will hear up to four Congressional candidates (Don Bates, Jr.,Bill Frazier, Travis Hankins and Joe VanWyke) who are vying for the 6th district seat.

Tea-Party at the Lawrenceburg Firehouse today 4/12 at 6:30.

“What a Snob!” Santorum takes on the Obama College for All, Promise.

Pharmer’s current plan is to fund the most technical type of education possible for the kids after high school, and push them towards obtaining their continuing cultural education outside of the academic boxes filled with lefties. Most likely they will be more successful if their consciences and work ethics are not impaired by conventional university education.
This conclusion was reached after 11 years of college and graduate education, (lotsa alphabet soup) and work in research, teaching and pharmacy practice.
Pharmer’s husband obtained two associates degrees. He now teaches at a technical school in a third field, in which he is self-trained, as a master automotive technician.

Santorum is correct that the universities are not the only road to success. Curiosity and constant self instruction are the keys. Always be willing to learn something new.
He’s also very correct about the academic snobbery.

Santorum Admits Young Daughter to Philadelphia Hospital, Cancels Sunday Morning Campaign Appearances | TheBlaze.com.

Rick Santorum has to take a campaign break in Florida, because his youngest girl, Bella, who has trisomy 18, has been admitted to Philadephia’s Childrens hospital.

Prayers for the Santorum family.

Update 2/2  It turns out that Bella was admitted to a Virginia hospital, not the one in Philly.  She is said to be recovering well and is expected to be discharged soon.

Addressing John Gehring’s Attack on Conservative Catholics

~ Pharmer

Pharmer spotted the  pretentious  John Gehring  telling us that it is a violation of  Catholic  teaching to support Rick Santorum.

Our CINO (Catholic in name only) lefties continually abuse the seamless garment type of philosophy in order to justify their own political views.
Basically they have supported a pro-abortion, pro-infanticide president and regime, in order to obtain some benefits from his promises to redistribute the wealth. One could compare such people to prostitutes, but that would be an unwarranted insult to the sex workers. CINOs instead forfeit the lives of their fellow humans in order to obtain largess from the government for their own personal interests and gain.

CINOs have pushed for a program of forced redistribution of wealth, which discourages personal charity and relegates the responsibility to a government which has become corrupt.

The greenie CINOs ignore the government’s forcing us to bring toxic levels of mercury into our homes (easily broken compact fluorescent bulbs) in the name of energy efficiency. They also ignore the extreme toxicity of lithium battery production for their greenie cars. They ignore the deaths of millions (from malaria and starvation) caused by irrational risk assessments by environmentalists, who ban pesticides. Those are their late term, human sacrifices to Mother Earth.

The CINOs look to unions to facilitate income redistribution while at the same time supporting tax and regulatory policies which have driven job creating corporations overseas. The Union workers and public sector workers are making much greater salaries on average than those from whom CINOs wish to extract taxes for bailing out the union pension plans. Meanwhile the dearth of U.S. jobs has sent immigrants with legitimate work permits back to Mexico, and American Blacks are suffering  increasingly worse unemployment than Whites.

So far CINOs have not seen much return on their personal investment in wealth redistribution. Pharmer is comforted by the fact that very few of these people will obtain even scraps from the tables of the corrupt politicians to whom they cling.

Lastly, if the Catholic Church really were actually teaching the garbage that John Gehring is expelling, This lifelong Catholic would have already found another religion.

Republican Primaries: Santorum Surges and Bachman Suspends.

Michele Bachmann Drops Out of Presidential Race – ABC News.

After finishing last in her home state, Bachmann has left the Republican presidential race.

Bachmann would have been fully capable of functioning in the role of President, but had difficulty in projecting that competency to the public.

A health care type of analogy:   Bachmann is a  “pharmacist”  and Palin is a “nurse”.   It would have been much easier for Palin to be elected.

The real winner in Iowa is Rick Santorum, even though Mitt Romney edged him by 8 votes or so.

Iowa is not a conservative state.  It has enough of a leftist base to allow for gay marriage, and to be the first state to adopt telemed  abortions.  Also in Iowa it is permissible for Democrats to vote in the Republican caucuses.

For Santorum to have done so well in that state is significant.
