(13,585 posts)post anything on Santorum. One of them has taken the cheese on every other assclown they've thrown up there. Can't wait to warn them to not google Santorum! "You've been warned. Whatever you do, don't google Santorum." I'm sure they aren't already wise to that.

However, it will just endear Rethugs to this guy. Remember how they all rallied around Palin when they perceived her as being 'under attack'.

This process feels like an initiation ritual for a cult religion. Each initiate in the group has had a turn at advancement except Huntsman. He'll probably end up being the human sacrifice.
it's our Republicans that make the United States so culturally distinct from the rest of Western civilization.

(58 posts)because he's a complete fanatic about his own brand of reactionary Christianity. He appeals to a certain type of conservative that lives in an alternate reality where Christians are a persecuted minority. Unfortunately these people have lots of influence in the GOP primaries. I can't see him winning, though. He's just the latest clown to pop his head out of the Repub clown car.

If Santorum gets the nomination, the GOP will be committing suicide.

(5,165 posts)Doug Walgren, Harris Wofford and Ron Klink ALL underesitmated this evil scheming fascist and they all lost elections to him.
Nobody connects with the lizard brain better than Santorum. And now that Screwpert Murdoch has twittered his support, that makes Santorum a VERY DANGEROUS opponent!

(218 posts)I find it amazing for the party of "small government" how the Republicans want to jam their personal morality up everyone's ass!!! It seems the party of homophobes would at least try a different tactic!!!
Santorum is no different than the rest of this clowncar escape act. They seem to take turns so they can all demonstrate their clown credentials. I can't imagine how a party that produced Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt can stand to watch this. Thank you to whomever or whatever for this joke of a party. If the Democrats can't beat this, they don't deserve to be in power!!!

(23,664 posts)This guy Santorum is seriously weird. I'm pretty sure most of the people in Iowa who have made him the catch of the day are unaware of some of the really bizarre skeletons in his closet like the time he brought home the fetus his wife miscarried (wrapped in a blanket no less) and talked to it in front of his other kids.
You really have to read this article to catch the true strangeness of this fuckin kook.
