Santorum: If I lose, it sets the stage for terrorism worse than the Nazis

Santorum is the only thing standing between us and fascism

In May 2005, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) raised a few eyebrows when, during a debate on the "nuclear option," he compared Democrats' approach to Bush's judicial nominees to Adolf Hitler in Paris in 1942. Some of the cooler heads among us argued that Santorum was not necessarily drawing a moral parallel; he was only using World War II as an "easily understood historical reference." Maybe so. But how about this one?

Likening the times to the late 1930s as Nazi Germany was rising to power, Sen. Rick Santorum said last night that if he loses his re-election bid, it could set the stage for terrorism to become more of a threat than the Nazis ever were. "If we are not successful here and things don't go right in the election, there's a good chance that the course of our country could change," he said. "We are in the equivalent of the late 1930s, and this election will decide whether we are going to continue to appease or whether we will stand and fight while we have a chance to win without devastating consequences.

"And you here in Pennsylvania — you here in this room — will have a huge role to play as to what happens."

What?

In 2004, Dick Cheney told audiences that if voters backed Kerry-Edwards, the United States would get "hit again" by terrorists. It was one of the more startling instances of the GOP using the politics of fear — vote for us or you could very well die.

1. Santorum belongs in a sanitorium.

He's totally barking mad.

[bdamomma]

11. alot of them belong there!!

[ClintonTyree]

2. So, Rick's all for "stay the course"?

"If we are not successful here and things don't go right in the election, there's a good chance that the course of our country could change," he said.

My, my. We certainly wouldn't want a change of course from our failed policies now, would we Rick? :puke: Every time this butt-hole opens his mouth the stupid-o-meter flies off the scale. Only a few weeks left until this shit stain is finished, over, done. It can't come soon enough for me. Then he can go back to Virginia (sorry, Virginians) and fuck dead dogs or whatever it is that's popular with Republican has beens now.

3. Ricky has it backwards

he is one of the terrorists. He's part of the gang of 'boys' that has been terrorizing this country and the World for generations.

Typical, blame others for your own vices.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

4. I can certainly see parallels to 1930's Germany

just not in the same way that Mr. Frothy Mixture sees them

[Ken Burch]

5. If Santorum's defeat does give us "terrorism worse than the Nazis"

It'll mainly be his campaign workers letting off steam on Election Night.

6. Pretty fond of yourself, are ya Ricky?

The world needs me in charge and nobody else alive will do!! I am essential!! My philosophies are right and everyone who disagrees with me is wrong!

Buh bye, Ricky. I would pay money to be there when he has to vacate his Senate office.

7. .

Wait a minute..if Santorum believes that we are currently in the late 30s, then that would make the ruling Gop party the Nazis, right?? And some concentration camps were already built to that time so..oh I see. Uh...in that case I have to say that we really need some change before more harm is done. And before they build these camps :eyes:.

8. My God, talk about megalomania

I suppose he also thinks that once he isn't in the Senate, there will be no way of preventing the little green men from Mars from taking over Earth.

[Vinca]

9. But, but Ricky - I thought Jesus would keep us safe. nt

[youthere]

16. No no no...

Jesus will send the raging barracuda of death to eat your babies if you vote democrat.

[zbdent]

10. Notice, none of these people, who seem to have a direct line to

what the terrorists are thinking and planning, are ever subject to NSA surveillance and "illegal wire-taps" ...

[C_U_L8R]

12. Rick - you gotta go

go get some fresh air.

find another profession...maybe one that doesn't
require you use your mind or mouth so much

the world will get along just fine without you... seriously

[TlalocW]

13. Rick Santorum went on to say...

"SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! PEOPLE! Only I can prevent this! A PLANET WHERE APES EVOLVED FROM MEN? That's what you'll get if you don't elect me!"

14. I will be so happy to see this guy out of politics

I mean, he'll still be around as a high paid lobbyiest but at least he won't be making votes to screw over the everyday citizens

[1932]

15. Because Rick is going to come out of closet as a Nazi?

And he's going to wage a terrorist campaign?

[Capn Sunshine]

17. I don't want to DIE!!!!!!!!!

Maybe my political philosophy needs some work.

[eleny]

18. booga-booga-booga

[gratuitous]

19. Oh no! Not Nazis!

I hate those guys. Guess I'd better vote for Mr. Santorum, then.

Honestly, is anyone even listening anymore?

[Mz Pip]

20. Kid with finger in the dike

The whole country will disappear if he's forced to pull it out.

What an overblown opinion he has of himself. He makes it sound like he's protecting this country from terrorists single handedly. Maybe after he loses he can sign on for a tour in Iraq and relieve one of our soldiers who's been over there for 4 tours.

21. Man-Dog Love Ricky's Concession speech

I can't wait to hear his concession speech. If he needs tips on what to say, I'd be glad to help him.

Thank you.

I would like to congratulate Bob Casey on his victory in the elections.

The people had their say and we respect their wishes, even though they are all going to Hell.

I would like to thank you, all those who supported, struggled and worked so hard and so devotedly for my pathetic campaign.

I know that you acted out of deep faith that George Bush is appointed by God to help end the World so that we could see it on TV.

Together with you, I am proud of the things we did together to keep the Right Wing Theocratic Agenda at the forefront of our culture war with the Unbelievers.

We brought terrorism to the forefront as a fear factor. I tried to make abortion illegal. I thought that Terry Schiavo was still alive. Maybe she still lives!

I want to take this opportunity to tell you that I am in love with Mark Foley and intend on moving to a small Thai island with him and a boatload of KY Jelly.

Thank you and good night.

22. Bullshit. The signing away Habeus Corpus by the Republicans

is more akin to Nazism than any PERCEIVED threat of terrorism, you twit who belongs in a Santorum.

:crazy:

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

23. Rick "I see Nazis" Santorum

:eyes: Can't wait til Nov 7th to vote this guy out of PA...CAN'T WAIT!!!

[Norquist Nemesis]

24. Sounds like a threat to me

And he'll be leading the charge, too!
