Santorum warns voters of country's likely demise

Rick Santorum's campaign slogan could very well be one word: doomsday.

To hear him tell it, the United States will collapse under the weight of its health care system and basic freedoms will be history. Iran will annihilate Israel and then South Carolina if Iran isn't blocked from building a nuclear weapon. And divorce will yield higher taxes for all Americans.

Unless, of course, Republicans pick Santorum as the party's presidential nominee and he goes on to defeat President Barack Obama.

"Go back and read what the sirens did once you arrived on that island," Santorum warned students at Colorado Christian University this week, invoking mythology. "They devour you. They destroy you. They consume you."

conversation? Why don't we just dial back the 15th century while we are at it and burn the witches? Seriously, Santorum is even nuttier than I thought. I guess fundamentalism will do that to you.

If I said that in public I would not be surprised if I was taken off the streets for a couple of days of psychological evaluation.

I guess candidates for president get a free pass for sounding like a f*cking moron.

Sort of the other side of the coin. Flip the rhetoric around and you've got arguments people make here every day.
