I hope Obama gets to run against Ayatollah Santorum

I heard Lawrence O'Donnell say this and I agree. I want Obama to have the opportunity to crush Santorum's fundamentalist, un-American, sexist, ignorant bullshit. Obama would beat Santorum up and down the country. But the other great thing about Santorum winning is that it would likely keep a lot of Wall Street money out of the election. Bankers have contributed heavily to Romney. If Romney loses, he takes a lot of that money with him. Bankers would be unlikely to reinvest in an almost certain loser like Santorum.

Santorum is running his mouth about religious freedom and much more. I want Santorum to know what I know. His stone aged opinions and anti-woman fundamentalist crap is the minority opinion in this country.

and send it viral....the man is just as dangerous with his ideas about religion and social control that any of those mullahs in the Middle East.

On edit - I'd prefer to have Santorum get the republican nomination and let him run on the Full Monty of his "conservative-christian" beliefs. Maybe, once his positions are fully vetted and understood by the voter, we can give him a message that we aren't in any hurry to return to the Dark Ages and the Inquisition.

Allah was disrespected by that young journalist who the cleric says deserves to die for apostasy. Too bad that couldn't be photoshopped.

How hard would it be to blacken the beard? Rick isn't that old....a younger version of a radical fundie cleric would nail him. This should go on that meme generator site where you "make your your" point with this image.

Let this election be a crushing defeat for the agenda of the conservative "Christians".
