BWAHAHAHAHAHA: Rick Santorum Mulling A Run For The WHITE HOUSE.
" The news site also reported that Santorum had "asked for prayers" for his 2012 run.

Haha, he'll need more than prayers to win the WH especially if he continues to wear a suit and tie like this:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

" Rick Santorum, the socially conservative former Republican senator from Pennsylvania, is mulling a run for the White House in 2012, says a pro-life news Web site.

Speaking to a gathering of Catholic leaders in Orlando, Florida, on Friday night, Santorum said that, as recently as six months ago, when President Barack Obama was riding high in the polls, he wouldn't have contemplated a run -- but the political environment has changed.

"I hate to be calculating, but I see that 2012 is not just throwing somebody out to be eaten, but it's a real opportunity for success," he told the crowd, according to LifeSiteNews.com.

The news site also reported that Santorum had "asked for prayers" for his 2012 run.

As The Hill reported Sunday, Santorum appears to be doing more than just "thinking about" a White House run, as LifeSiteNews reported -- he appears to be taking direct logistical steps towards one. The Philadelphia Bulletin reported last month that Santorum "has reportedly scheduled appearances with political nonprofit groups in Iowa on October 1, potentially signifying consideration of a presidential run."

Iowa's caucuses represent the first test of the primary season, and interest in Iowa by a national politician is often a sign of preparation for a presidential campaign.

Santorum's presence in the Senate -- as one of the legislative body's most socially conservative and fervently pro-life members -- came to an ignominious end in the 2006 mid-term election, when Democrat Bob Casey defeated Santorum with an 18-point margin.

His defeat was mainly due to "his close alliance with unpopular President George W. Bush," the Bulletin reported."

8. Arrogance. Lost by 18 points in defending his Senate seat
How he could possibly think he has a chance to win his party's nomination let alone beat Pres. Obama is amazing to me. I guess my ego is miniscule compared to his.

11. What A Great Primary Line-Up
So add Man-On-Dog Sancrotrum to the list along with Mooselini, Hucklenutz, Mittens...plus I keep hearing that asshat Mike Pence thinks he stands a chance. The more wingnuts beating up on each other the better. Just think of the amusement at the pitbull tries to take on Elmer Gantry...it could be a demolition derby of amusing proportions.

12. the so-called Philadelphia Bulletin no longer exists...
it was a free RW rag which died a few months ago. Not worth the birdcage liner it became...

Not to be confused with the old Bulletin which was a high-quality newspaper...

28. Google bomb is our friend.
Santorum is a sexual neologism proposed by American humorist and sex-advice columnist Dan Savage in 2003 to "memorialize" then US Republican Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania due to the controversy over his statements on homosexuality. Savage asked his readers to submit new definitions for the term; the winning definition was "that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."<1> The word became a successful Google bomb when Savage created a website for it, which unseated the Senator's official website as the top search result for his surname on the Google search engine.

31. Somewhere there's an alternate universe where the word "Santorum" means
the sweetness of ambrosia and the delicate scent of wildflowers. It's only in that alternate universe in which Santorum hasn't become a national joke.

16. Okay, here's the ultimate question. If Santorum ran for president, could
Larry, Moe, or Curly beat him?

This really should be the definitive test for measuring the viability of any presidential candidate.

20. I think Moe would come out strong giving Rick two-in-the-eyes but my money would be on Curly
coming from behind and dazzling all voters doing his ' curley shuffle '... NYUK, YUK, YUK

40. Only in the South Carolina GOP Primary
In the other states, Moe, Larry and Curly split the delegates evenly and Santorum comes out on top at the convention by picking Larry as his running mate.

19. These right wing creeps who muck up their career think that if
they hide out for a while and then come back to the scene, all will be forgotten and/or forgiven............Oh wait, we are talking about the republican party. Of course the republicans will have forgotten how stupid Santorum was/is. They only remember the muck ups of anyone outside their party.

21. If Santorum runs, he and Palin will be competing for the same GOP demographic
-- namely, cretinous psychopaths.

It could be fun to watch.

41. I am convinced whoever runs for President under the Republican banner will not care about votes.
The Republicans are working on bringing the politics of division to new levels never before experienced. They will run the most vocal Demagogue still standing. Santorum is one of many possibilities.

ushering in an extreme breakaway 3rd party.

Man on Dog would be so much fun to take apart. It would be short but sweet. As a matter of fact, at this juncture, I can't think of a single person they could put up that we couldn't take down in record time. As far as I can tell, they got nothing.

Bush (Jeb) into the mix as well as Carrie's mother Michele Bachman and the freak road show will almost be ready for touring.
