Santorum OK With "Dangerous" Label; Not Planning To Run For President

Santorum

First Posted: 09/17/09 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 02:50 PM ET

The Washington Times:

Former Sen. Rick Santorum said Monday he has no problem being marked as a "dangerous" man politically, despite being out of office since 2006.

The most recent attack comes from former Bush and McCain political strategist Mark McKinnon, who says Mr. Santorum's upcoming speaking engagements in Iowa point to a potential 2012 presidential run that would be "very, very dangerous for America."

He would be very dangerous as president. Take every stereotype about the soulless Christian Conservative and roll it into one and you have Mr. Santorum.

If he was president, he'd lead us into a religious dictatorship and scorch the planet with righteous nuclear fire- all with that smarmy, fake-serene smile on his face.

I had a Tshirt during his last campaign that read: "Take Back PA--Kick Out Rick 'Man.on.Dog' Santorum." Man, did I get some great comments on that one.

Santorum like Trancredo is a court jester. Santorum will most likely run in 2012 as the Trancredo candidate focused on demonizing Hispanics and the Spanish language. This will play well with the GOP base. However, he will not win the GOP primaries since we all know that the GOP base will not vote for an Italian as president. Italians forget that they were not considered White by WASP American until the 1970s.

On the other hand, many of the 33% of Hispanic Americans who remained with the GOP in 2008 will have had enough and will vote for the Democrat candidate. This will keep the white house out of the GOP's control.

Texas goes blue in 2012.

Look up santorum in the Urban Dictionary. Mr Santorum isn't well liked by some segments of the body politic. Mr Santorum is used to it. He revels in it.

He can pair up with Delay and do "Dancing With The Stars." It will be a sort of coming out for the both of them.
