Santorum dips toes in 2012 Iowa waters

[peace frog]

Add former Sen. Rick Santorum to the list of potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates.

POLITICO has learned Santorum will visit first-in-the-nation Iowa this fall for a series of appearances before the sort of conservative activists who dominate the state GOP’s key presidential caucuses.

The Pennsylvanian, who lost his 2006 re-election bid, will visit Iowa on October 1st, appearing on a Des Moines radio talk show and speaking to a luncheon and workshop of Iowa’s Right to Life group before heading east to Dubuque, where he’ll headline a fundraiser for the conservative America’s Future Fund PAC and then speak about the future of the GOP to a public audience in the Mississippi River city.

“Your voice becomes more amplified when you go to a place like Iowa or New Hampshire,” Santorum explained in an interview Tuesday about the visit.

Rick "Man on Dog Sex" Santorum to run for POTUS?! Bring it on, baby!

[Dogmudgeon]

1. YESSS!

Santorum.

Palin.

Huckabee.

Buchanan.

Paul.

Nader.

All the nutjobs.

(At least Huckabee and Paul are decent fellows. Still completely bugfuck, but decent.)

--d!

[Frustratedlady]

3. That's quite a crop...I can hardly wait!

We'll get to see another photo of Santorum's family after his loss? Always good for a laugh.

[Sub Atomic]

13. Won't someone think of the children?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[yodermon]

16. The look on the boy's face i actually what cracks me up here.

although the matching doll outfit gives me the shivers.

[XemaSab]

36. The boy looks like he just got petrified by the basilisk

and has to spend all eternity haunting the toilets.

[Wednesdays]

8. Nader's running as a Republican?

:shrug:

Interesting how you tossed him into the conversation.

[ingac70]

34. Repubs are where he gets most of his donations...

since 04.

[krabigirl]

23. Lol, a Santorum/Failin' ticket. Imagine.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Can you image the fun? Santorum/Palin or Palin/Santorum!!

[yellowcanine]

25. I will be very disappointed if Santorum doesn't pick a turtle as his running mate.

Given all of his concern about bestiality, I think he should provide for animals to have representation at the highest levels of government.

[Zorra]

29. That was the first thing I thought of.

It would literally provide years of hysterically funny comedy.

[Wickerman]

4. What a great job

running for President when you know you have no chance of winning. Yeah, its painful, but if you are an attention freak and like to raise money that you can waste pretty much as you choose, not a bad gig.

[rurallib]

5. some people envy Iowa, but there are real drawbacks.

clearing the stench from the air after these people leave takes a year or more.
Every now and then I still get a whiff of Romney's 90 weight hair oil.

[LeftHander]

6. "When people come to see um they really are a scree-um..."

[catbyte]

9. LOL!

Where did that picture come from? It's absolutely hilarious!!! :rofl:

Look at their faces...wow, just wow.

22. this pic marks aftermath of the GOP jumping the shark

Sanitorium was crazier than a bag of wingnuts.

[TlalocW]

14. I feel so sorry in so many ways for their kids

But when I see this picture, it's mainly how they dress them.

The poor girl in front looks like she's wearing Amish hand-me-downs.
Her sister in back looks like she needs to return her jacket to Prince's back-up singers circa 1985.
And the brother looks like he knows he's going to get in trouble for leaving Hogwarts without permission to attend Dad's concession speech.

TlalocW

[catbyte]

17. I guess I shouldn't make fun

of his kids because they can't help who their parents are, but geeze! I'm just not that charitable this morning. You're right on the money with the whole dressing tragedy, TlalocW.

Nope, I just can't help it, even though I'm probably going to burn in hell for laughing! :evilgrin:

7. Cool! That will keep the word "santorum" in common use!

I love that word!

Santorum: "that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."

A big shout-out to Dan Savage for adding a new and useful word to the english language.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. Ricky, Ricky, Ricky..................

Why do you hate America?

Penn Hills didn't want you (charging the school district for cyber-school for his kids while he lived in Virginia).

Pennsylvania didn't want you (FINALLY voted him out of office).

Why are you going to subject Iowa to your mess?

Please, just go crawl into a cave with your animals and stay away. :spank: :spank:

[kestrel91316]

11. Santorum, the guy who took a dead baby home for his kids to play with?

[FatDave]

26. That's not exactly true.

He didn't take a dead baby home for his kids to play with. He took a dead baby home and made his kids kiss it.

[kestrel91316]

28. Oh, sorry. My bad.

[FatDave]

31. Well, I only mentioned it because I think it was even worse.

[kestrel91316]

37. It was.

[tabbycat31]

12. run Rick run

and please see how many men are getting it on with their dogs in Iowa now that they have legal gay marriage.

[VWolf]

15. Santorum / Palin

Man on dog / Bitch

[Historic NY]

18. I smell the stench already...

:rofl:

[central scrutinizer]

19. The santorum google bomb is still ready for deployment

bring it on!

[DebbieCDC]

20. Hmm, dipping toes in the water....

watch out for Jaws Palin to bite them off!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

21. probably aiming for vice president

[704wipes]

32. Bush/Santorum

could be

A balanced ticket, right?
a cold, crazed corporate Republican with a cold crazed kkkristian Republican

[Roland99]

24. Sweet! Then the Natl Weather Svc will finally go to Fee for Forecast!

and maybe he'll put the family dog on top of Air Force One.

[FatDave]

27. I'd like to keep Iowa's waters santorum free.

To say nothing of my toes...

[sakabatou]

30. Another easy win

[ingac70]

33. Don't get any on ya, Iowa! n/t

[Mind_your_head]

35. Unrecommend......

Get your prissy ass outta-the-heartland. What a piece-o-shit poser!

That's all he is, for true! A piece-o-shit poser. Don't be fooled by him.
