Santorum: 'Happy to have represented the Alabama part of Pennsylvania"

Republican Rick Santorum laid out a compelling case for his presidential candidacy before a Mobile audience tonight, saying his conservative vision for America offers a stark contrast to President Barack Obama.

He reminded his audience of a line made famous by Democratic strategist James Carville, who once quipped that Pennsylvania "is Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other and Alabama in between."

"I’m happy to have represented the Alabama part of Pennsylvania," he said in a 12-minute introductory speech.

He has no clue about what the state is about. He lived in Leesburg and bought a small shack in Penn Hills to claim he lived here. He milked Penn Hills for $100,000 to "cyber school" his kids and hasn't paid them back. He never spent a night in that shack.

Yo, Mr. Frothy - GO FUCK YOURSELF! And I mean that. He wasn't good for PA and he certainly wouldn't be good for the USA. Actually, none of the GOP clowns would, but he's so far out of touch with reality that I'd suspect him of being on acid if I thought he was cool enough to score some.

Santorum shouldn't be bragging about his time spent as Senator from Pennsylvania. He did an extremely poor job of it.

The opening line of Santorum's inaugural address in the event (fortunately not going to happen) he became President.

related to his unbridled corruption. I realize there's practically no chance that Li'l Ricky will garner the repug nod, but it's fun to imagine the field day that the Democrats would have while revealing his grifting past.
