Santorum has some advice for tea party
Edited on Mon May-24-10 11:22 PM by RamboLiberal
HARRISBURG - Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a potential Republican presidential candidate, warned Monday that conservatives should be wary of the libertarian strain of thought in the "tea party" movement.

Santorum was responding to a question about Kentucky's Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul, who last week said the federal government had no right to bar private businesses, such as restaurants, from discriminating on the basis of race, as it did in the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

"I don't think the libertarians have it right when it comes to what the constitution is all about . . . or when it comes to our history," Santorum said at the Pennsylvania Press Club. "When there are clear wrongs in society, injustice in society - sure, you handle it at the local level if you can - but when the local and state governments are in cahoots with the injustice, then the federal government has to step in and do something."

-----

Santorum also dismissed Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak as "a loose cannon" and predicted a November victory for Republican Pat Toomey.

-----

"He is what Pennsylvanians have never elected: an unabashed, enthusiastic, wild-eyed Howard Dean," Santorum said of Sestak.

Hey Man-On-Dog I seem to remember how Dean led DNC helped beat your butt!

Read last 2 paragraphs or article where idiot Santorum compares health care reform to the corner drug dealer.

1. The fact that even Rick Santorum understand that shows how intellectually immature Rand Paul is
And I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he's intellectually immature rather than just racist.

2. Man! Who woulda thought there'd ever be a candidate who made Santorum look sane?
Lol for Dean's DNC beating his butt.

3. The real reason establishment Republicans don't like Rand Paul
is that he doesn't support their neo-con imperialism all over the world. Privately, they all agree with him about civil rights and race; they don't think it's politic to talk about it.

5. Best fucking news I've heard today - "Rick Santorum a potential Republican presidential candidate"
The smug, arrogant, Christian fundamentalist nut-case Santorum becoming the republican presidential nominee is just too good to be true - Unfortunately, it won't happen.....Still, the slimy cold-hearterd elitist bastard Santorum would be a dream candidate for me.

6. Santorum endorsed Grayson over the TeaParty's idol Paul.
So I doubt they give a fig what he thinks.

7. Does he have a real job now or just sit around waiting for reporters to call
to ask his opinion? A generation ago, he'd have never been heard from again outside of whatever law firm he wound up working at
