Rick Santorum: ‘We Always Need a Jesus Candidate’

WINDHAM, N.H. – Rick Santorum addressed his largest crowd ever Thursday evening while speaking at an event set up by a tea party group, the 9/12 project.

Santorum addressed the crowd and and took questions for almost two hours, as more than 600 people packed into the auditorium at Windham High School and more occupied an overflow room.

Santorum told the crowd that although people say Iowa is “more conservative” than New Hampshire, it was Ronald Reagan who won New Hampshire and George H.W. Bush who won Iowa in 1980.

As Santorum neared the two-hour mark, a moderator informed him he was out of time.

1. not ones that support that long-haired, bearded, dark-skinned Jesus, though

[quinnox]

2. Wonderful, Santorum is now getting a Jesus complex

All those adoring racist crowds are starting to unbalance him.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. you mean we should await the second coming and nominate him?

dumbass.

4. He's a Jesus candidate?

Oh...so he must mean all of those passages in the Bible that portray Jesus as an intolerant person who surrounds himself with only other evangelicals and talks ad naseum about how his idea of family should be enforced by law. Also, Jesus was hell bent on raising an army that could control the world in his vision, right?

Wait...now that I think of it...wasn't Jesus rather accepting of all people who kept company with the pariahs of society and spread words of love and peace and harmony.

I'm not so sure Jesus would have supported the invasion of another country, but that's just me.

5. Inserting religion into the political

process should be a reason for elimination. For anyone running for office. He is promoting his religion. Jesus may have wanted recognition but I don't think he wants it thrown into anyone's face.

10. I agree - mixing religion and politics is dangerous.

It's how Taliban style governments are created. It's why I am 100000% against a new constitutional convention. I do not want the Jesus freaks and fundie nutjobs like Santorum to change our government to create a totalitarian theocracy. That scares the crap out of me.

[asjr]

11. No one from the media has questioned the religious faction at all.

No pundit has questioned it.

6. Could he have a bigger ego?

[baldguy]

7. Considering that he doesn't want govt to help the poor, feed the hungry, comfort the sick

or take in strangers, I guess Santorum doesn't qualify as the "Jesus candidate".

But, do you know who does qualify?

[hifiguy]

8. No, Frothy, we don't.

Not now nor never. Especially not your Jebus.

9. Um, Ricky . . .

12. Swooning woman at meeting, "he’s a man of integrity"

Carol Beausoleil, also from Hudson, decided to vote for Santorum after hearing him this evening. She said the two hours flew by.

“Every single question he answered, he’s a man of integrity, and I believe what he says,” Beausoleil said.


I guess Ms. Beausoleil hasn't heard about Ricky claiming a Pennsylvania house he was renting out to someone else as his principle residence in order to have the local school district pay for correspondence courses for his kids in Virginia, where he was actually living. What a guy!

13. Somebody put a nickel in this guy and he's spouting off crazy.

Do go on Lil Ricky ...
