I'm sending in a fat check Monday to Little Ricky. This guy's putz is perfect!
"We're dumb, but we're not stupid" -Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz This basically sums up the entire republican party in one sentence.
I just love it when a zealot wears their religion on their sleeve and puffs up their chests as though they are better....
So today, it's Ricky Sanctimonious !!!!
I am hoping he gets this nomination!!!
Santorum denies questioning Obama's faith
http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-live/2012/02/santorum-denies-questioning-obamas-faith-114945.html
Backslider....
I watched his remarks. Its not just what he said, its the smugness with which he delivered it. We've all talked to some religious person who exhibited that smug look while castigating your religious view. You just want to slap them. No doubt his smug remark about Obama's theology not being Bible based is a classic for Youtube and political advertising in the next few months.
Here's some advice Ricky. Take an aspirin and put it tightly between your lips.....
Rick "Don't Google My Name" Santorum doubles down:
Rick Santorum on Sunday condemned what he called President Barack Obama's world view that "elevates the Earth above man" and requires insurers to pay for prenatal tests that will encourage more abortions.
A day after telling an Ohio audience that Obama's agenda is based on "some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible," the GOP presidential candidate said he wasn't criticizing the president's Christianity.
..."I've repeatedly said I don't question the president's faith. I've repeatedly said that I believe the president's Christian," Santorum said in a broadcast interview. "I am talking about his world view, and the way he approaches problems in this country. I think they're different than how most people do in America."
Santorum almost makes me miss that more 'intellectual' Republican candidate, Newt Gingrich.
"In June 2011, Santorum said he would continue to "fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican party and the conservative movement."[144] In an NPR interview in the summer of 2005, Santorum discussed what he called the "libertarianish right," saying "they have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can't go it alone..."[145]"
It's a Wiki reference, but f*ck you Rick, you sanctimonious POS.

Remember, Conan, that the voters of Pennsylvania threw him out of office by nearly 20 points. He was the incumbent! It's been said (with some truthfulness) that Pennsylvania has Philly on one end and Pittsburgh on the other, with Alabama in between. Having lived in both Pittsburgh and the Alabama part, I have to say that he worked really hard at losing that election.
He's a dim jackass. All he cares about is pandering to the wing nuts that give the GOP a really bad name.

I think we may be witnessing the wheels falling off the traditional GOP as we know it.

I don't hope for it, because I agreed with many of the 'old' GOP's ideals. The new GOP however, has turned into a mish-mash of panderers and nut-jobs willing to say anything to coddle favor with the 'flavor-of-the-week' conservative movement (i.e. Tea Partiers).

Well don't that beat all. A big government conservative who's actually proud of his big governmentness.

Santorum is trying to work his way up from stridently conservative to morbidly conservative.
Please remember that the voices inside my head are much more powerful than the voices inside your head.
That goes a long way toward explaining the last two thousand years of western civilization.

Exactly! I spent most of my life voting Republican, but don't even recognize that party anymore. There's nothing that is helping the Democratic party more then seeing what the Republican party has become.

It's not making the Democrat party any more attractive to me. It's leaving me hoping that perhaps moderates who have traditionally identified themselves as "centrist" Dems or GOP's will recognize each other's similarities rather than their differences and perhaps a real, legit third party that is more in line with my thinking (and the other 60% or so of voters who identify as "moderate") would emerge.
One can hope, right?

I though "Rick Santorum" was a pseudonym being used by Joel Osteen.
Can anyone prove they're not the same person?

It's mathematically impossible to have a stable third party with first past the post elections. Our political system will continue to be broken until such time as we reform our elections and districting in a serious way, and even that might not do the job itself.
Our entire election system confuses me. Our Territories get to vote in the primary, but not in the general election. Then we have a beauty contest caucus in Missouri where no one has anything to gain at the moment. Then we have states where delegates are divided up by the percentage of votes each candidate gets. Other states it's "Winner take all." It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Let's say punting is no solution. What do you propose in the manner of reforms and
gerrymandering er districting?

Some sort of preference voting and a shortest splitline algorithm for generating the districts. You can't gerrymander math.

Sounds like that horrible "Nanny State" I hear talk of.
Oh wait oh wait oh wait... I think I get it now INDIVIDUALS can't go it alone, it's CORPORATIONS that can go it alone. If your a corporation polluting the air and water making people less healthy the government should stay out of the way, but if your and individual who wants to say, buy a bottle of wine on Sunday or take a "day after" pill, then you need to be "regulated" and protected from your bad choices.

That's not "our" election system. That's the Republican party's election system which can vary state by state due to state government election laws and state Republican party election rules.
The Democratic party is the same, but is not having a contested election.

Remember that Mitt said, "Corporations are people too, my friend." And I'll believe that when one of them runs into a burning building to rescue a child.

They're the ones that own the buildings. The buildings with no fire supression system. The building that then catches fire and burns the children.
Mitt Romney's corporation friends burn children.
Don't burn your children. Vote "other".
When it comes to this corporation issue, I think we need to go back to differentiating between a "person" and their rights, and a "citizen" and their rights. Might help clarify some of this "can or should they make donations to political parties or try to change our political system" thing in our country. You can be a person in our country, say from Saudi Arabia or Japan or wherever, and have certain rights and responsibilites,,, but you can't vote and you shouldn't be making donations to parties and paying for commercials to influence votes etc.
