The right sure has a lot of folks who greatly over estimate who they are and what their abilities might be. LOL

Please run, Rick. Nothing would do my heart more good than to see the signs talking about what your last name is a euphemism for thanks to Dan Savage.

Politico = FAIL

Politico played at having a balance of left and right, but it quickly became a mouthpiece for the right for the most part. IMO there is no reason to even link to a Politico Article by Huffpo. It is a waste. Their reporters liken to a trainer throwing raw meat to the dogs, except they throw ludicrous political stories out to cause an uproar. Not for me anymore.

FTA:

"A lot of people are going to take a look and see what they can do to try to confront this presidency, which many of us -- as you're seeing from the tea parties and the like -- which many of us believe is injurious to America," Santorum said.

Soooo, he's saying that people trying to confront this presidency is injurious to America, not that Obama is.

A couple of quotes from Rick Santorum:

"The elementary error of relativism becomes clear when we look at multiculturalism. Sometime in the 1980s, universities began to champion the importance of “diversity” as a central educational value."

"The notion that college education is a cost-effective way to help poor, low-skill, unmarried mothers with high school diplomas or GEDs move up the economic ladder is just wrong."

The President is "injurious" to the country??? Are you kidding me? I really think that Santorum and the rest of the Republican party need to take an honest look at what they have been formenting for the last 8 months and then talk about injurious to the country. One only has to look at what the "spokesman" for the party, Rush Limbaugh, has been saying lately regarding a recent fight on a bus.

What is wrong with these people? So many of them were saying people were not patriots or were un-American for speaking out against the former President's unjustified war. These people are making up things, exaggerating, endorsing and promoting lies and misinformation on a nearly daily basis all for the purpose of achieving what they were unable to achieve at the ballot box. Talk about un-American!

These people are proving themselves to be more and more irrelevant and assinine each and every day. Why doesn't Mr. Santorum start offering some solutions, some new ideas, some proposals that might help this country out of the mess we're in?

I hope he runs. He's got many things to answer for and I'd be interested to see how he justifies some of his past statements and positions. Let's see just how healing he can be.

I'll bet the Democrats are really shaking in their boots at that prospect.

That's shaking with laughter.

Please, go right ahead and run, Rick.

It's the perfect opportunity to bring out all your previous YouTube videos for everyone to be reminded of you.
