Ex Pennsylvania Sen Rick, The frothy mix, Santorum is planning

[GoneOffShore]

to run for President in 2012.

Just heard it on NPR.

[Thrill]

1. Not a surprise. He's been to Iowa several times already

Much like Palenty, would he even win his home state?

[ShortnFiery]

2. Oh, thank-you

I needed a good laugh today.

The fear of Bestiality (Man-Dog) Santorum - our next President? :rofl:

We'll see Palin coronated Queen of America before that feat.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

3. That's great news!! Republican support will split!! n/t

[11 Bravo]

4. He believes the whole "man-on-dog" issue will resonant with his base.

[old mark]

10. With his base, he may be right....nt

[The Wielding Truth]

5. Total disgust... How do people like this feel they are able to be in a

position of responsibility.They do not live in a world that respects democracy or really know what democracy or social integrity is.

[Bravo Zulu]

6. Where does Rick (man on dog)Santorum really live?

In 1987, Senator Rick Santorum bought this $87,800 two-bedroom, two-bath townhouse (111 Stephens Lane, Penn Hills, Pennsylvania). He claims to reside in the unfurnished home with his wife and six children.

The Santorum family doesn't live in that two-bedroom house in Penn Hills. No one lives there. There are no curtains on the windows and no furniture in the home. Santorum may hold title to the property, and he may claim it's his official residence, but he clearly doesn't live there. He lives with his wife Karen and children Elizabeth, Johnny, Daniel, Peter, Sarah Maria and Patrick a couple of hundred miles away in Leesburg, Virginia.

7. He'd be almost as good a candidate as Sarah Palin.

He lost overwhelmingly in PA; why does he believe he will manage nation-wide?

[JCMach1]

8. Outstanding... I 110% support his run for the Repug nomination...

Palin/Santorum would be a 'dream' ticket! edited for extreme :sarcasm:

[jberryhill]

9. President of what?

[polichick]

11. Santorum is a delusional twit - the male version of Palin. nt

[Cosmocat]

12. Yes, no and no ... He is a VERY viable candidate ...

He is delusional, and in fact pretty much deranged ...
He is NOT a twit ...
He is not even CLOSE to a "male palin" ...

Rick Santorum is a VERY serious political personality ... He is 1000 times smarter than Palin, while he is clearly is deranged, he knows his FACTS ... Palin wilted during a soft ball interview with friggen Katie Koric or whoever the heck it was ... In 15 years or so of being a congressman/senator Santorum controlled every interview he ever had ...

He is smart, tough, savvy ... He is the complete polar opposite of Palin, in fact ...

Because of the medis nevver ending facination with Palin, the left takes her far to seriously as a viable presidential candidate ... She has no REAL support from the actual party, she just is the MILF candidate for the radical right populist end of the party ...

Santorum has the support of the three main wings of the party ...

1) He is the ULTIMATE religious nutjob wet dream candidate ...
2) He is the as big a neocon as there is ...
3) He started and ran the senate end of K street and is VERY, VERY cozy with the Chamber of Commercer, corporate teet sucking true base of the party ...

I live in Pa and am attuned to him ...

He got smoked against Casey, who had a great name, was able to raise enough money to compete against Santorum - who raised the most money ever for a Senate race, he also ran a very low key, moderate campaign in a big anti-incumbancy year, and as noted above, Santorum had the issue of being a carpet bagger ...

But, this is not the senate, it is the presidency ...

I know people don't get this, but Santorum is very capable of winning the R nomination, in fact, I would say and Mittens are the two front runners ...

The MSM won't allow for it, but unless there are GENUINE economic down turns or a major terrorist attack, BO will get reelected regardless of the competition ... IF there are economic issues, Mittens or maybe Santorum are good bets to push him ... IF there is a terrorist attack, Santorum will push him HARD ...

Discount Santorum as a presidential candidate at your risk ...

[polichick]

14. I'm in PA too and here in the east everyone thinks he's a nutcase...

I can't see him winning in PA.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

13. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I fear Rick Santorum.

He can whip the fundies in a way that no one else can and he is significantly smarter than Sarah Palin (don't misunderstand - that still puts him in the "very dumb" category, just not the "black hole of information with a slight case of schizophrenia" category.)

[polichick]

18. Sure, he can whip the fundies - but he turns off everyone else completely...

His followers will be appropriately rabid for man-on-dog Santorum - but few.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Good! He's such a fruitloop he'll be easy to beat.

Bring it on, Rick!

[brooklynite]

16. I suspect the response to his campaign will be the same as Duncan Hunter's in 2008...

"who?"

[Perky]

17. He is going to quickly emerge as the Darling of the Tea Party Movement

Watch for it.
