This am he declared that the famous JFK speech about the separation of church and state "made me want to throw up"
That he he does not believe in a separation of church and state
And that college is just an opportunity to indoctrinate young people into left leaning liberals

And this guy is a serious candidate and could potentially be the nominee ... I am continually amazed at the circus...

Actually Satan showed up in his office and wants accountability for all the money he's sending him.

Especially if He discovers that Ricky is dissing his Vicar for being a liberal ecologist:

I have never heard the word "curse" used to describe a situation of one's own making.

Rick Santorum is just a religious extremeist who is only trying to appeal to the far right. I never heard any politician talk about Obama they way he talks about him. Calling him a non christian and throwing the devil into his speeches to cause more fear and hate towards Obama. How can a human being be that manipulative to paint a picture they know is factually incorrect and dishonest. The republican party as a human need to fail as Mitt Romney says about Detroit and start over again.

How can a "Christian" break so many commandments?

He's already forgiven, so it doesn't mean anything.

Rick Santorum is just another bible thumping jailer.

It's his crazed religious hokum plotline with spoken with undue seriousness, that have proven him to be unelectable on earth.

We should call him ayatolla Santorum.

Poor Santorum, if anyone should know, he certainly should, that the "devil" is in the details.

Unfortunately, the details of what he has in store if he wins his theocracy, appear to be very un-christianlike.

We all would have all been better off if Santorums parent would have used birth control.

When candidates get full of themselves with swollen heads, that's the time they're peaking in the polls. It looks like Santorum has confirmed that point.

Newt need no stinking lead in polls to be full of himself, he always is.

Where is the story on him telling sadistic lies about how the Dutch treat their elderly? Santorum is a very sick person and if properly assessed medically would be institutionalized for the public's protection.

I saw that piece on Rachel's show last night. It should be a front page story here . . . the way it is in the Netherlands. Santorum has been filmed telling horrendous lies about the Dutch for what seems like forever. Yet to hear him you'd think he was up for sainthood.
