Subject: Santorum almost drops the N-bomb when talking about The President of The Unite States?
It may not be you. Sometimes I have to do it two or three times before it takes. Anyway, I went on YT and looked at the video in question, and he got nearly all the way through the word in question because he awkwardly stumbled his way out of it. He's definitely busted!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Serious Q before I hit a nasty club:
Do you Americans rate this guy over Anyone that runs against him? Y/N/ I hate Europe is valid, or anything inbetween!
Most of the wingnuts do, quite frankly I think. If given a choice between stantorum and obama i would choose obama each time.
This guy runs only on Rhetoric and not thought out arguments or issues.
I mean, The guy wants to ban porn, y'know the industry that makes more the hollywood.

I swear the republicans are not even trying this year, they just want to keep obama for another 4.

I decide? Ok, he didn't almost use the N word. I have no idea what he was actually going to say, other that it started with an N. A lot of words start with N. The "ig" that followed it, that's just not clear to me and I think it's really a rorshach about how you feel.
This is a man who despite having (comparatively) little money and outlandish views had managed to make himself relevant and stay there as a serious contender in the race for the President of the United States of America. He's obviously quite intelligent because you simply cannot do what he has done otherwise. Even if there were evidence he's a closet racist (and there isn't, despite him being a professional politician for many years with infinite opportunities to expose himself); he's too polished, practiced, and in-control to make such a sloppy leak at this exceedingly late point in time. It cannot happen, it did not happen.
With the things Santorum actually says, we don't need to grasp for things he might have said to find him loathful.

If he wasn't intending to drop an n-bomb, why did he stop himself like that?
Dunno, it 's very suspicious even if one admits it isn't apparent what he was going to say.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Hold up peeps, no one so far has accused him of the flaming "N".
Jaysus GT posted a heavily edited Vid of the N bomb being "dropped".
Dont you get the implication? No?
Time to tune off Fox News and look elsewhere for a News Hit

Wow, I like your posts overall Ouze but, WTF?
Uhhhm as a US Citizen you would support him ?
Assuming you cannot..........
Pick me an alternative - thats an open Q, no baiting intended.

Me, support Santorum? Absolutely not. I find Santorum's rise to be a deeply disturbing trend in American politics. I am horrified by some of his ideas, disturbed by his utter obsession with what gay people do; and repulsed by his desires to further entwine religion into government (so long as you're the right religion, anyway). As an American, every day when I read about Santoum doing well in this primary or other, it's like reading the goddamn Onion - it's surreal and hard to believe.
However, despite how reprehensible I find Santorum, I'm able to recognize he has excellent political skills in getting this far. It just seems unlikely someone with the N word on the very tip of his tongue would be able to successfully suppress it for so long of an incredibly public career. I don't need to infer unsaid things he may have thought to find him repellent because looking at his past statements provide adequate evidence whatever he was going to say would have been just as repellent anyway, just differently so.
So far as who i support, personally... I don't. I'm registered as no party, and that's exactly who I like this election. I'm disinclined to vote at all, but since I've never failed to vote in a national election at all, I guess my civil duty will kick in and I'm likely to vote for the person I find the least odious; in this case Obama. I don't see any serious distinction between Obama and Romney, though, just minor niggles between them here and there over just how fast to sell out to the multinational corporations and landed gentry that actually run this country (hey look, an N word that wasn't that word!). I follow politics like people follow football; I'm fascinated with the game even if I'm not very fond of any of the teams.

I am with Ouze that I can't imagine that he was going to say it, or even was meaning to say the word. To do so would be political suicide and I imagine he would like to be in the game beyond this primary or Presidential election.
That being said, it was still close enough to cause him problems.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

My major problem with voting for Obama is that there isn't really anything on the news about him (Other than Fox News) ever since the health care thing.
Now, I don't really watch TV, but the Internet gives me everything and faster....
Also, as a personal problem, the bastard let ND build a pipeline for Oil that cost us thousands of dollars and would have saved Americans much more than that, but right after we spend the money and get it up and running, he smacks us with legislation that makes the damn pipe just sit there..... So yes, it is his fault Gas is so high....

While possibly true, why was the word in his mind at any point?
Hardly a good idea to have someone whose positions on something as important as that in control of the most powerful country on the planet, is it?
Not to mention his stance on Porn.....

No admittedly it isn't...
Though even if he wasn't racist (which he might not be) i wouldn't feel comfortable with him in office...
And i live far enough away from the US...
I might move to Norway... just in case...

People jumble words some times, it happens. He didn't drop that famous word so as far as I'm concerned he never said it. I also believe that if people want to believe that's what he was going to say their going to hear it as such.
As Ouze said, the guys made it this far, so he's skilled in some regard, there's no denying it. I seriously doubt he would say that word in front of a crowd of people while cameras are on him.
