Rick Santorum?

Post Reply New Topic

He seems almost poised to emerge from the bottom of the pack to Flavour of the Month status, just in time for the first caucus.

Even Fox Noise and Hate Radio appear never to have had anything to say about him, obviously, or Inuyasha would have been jumping up and down about him months ago.

I don't think that he ever received a single vote in any of our WrongPlanet polls.

He apparently parrots the conventional Repugnican platitudes. The Repugnican party seems to be in "Anyone but Mitt Romney or Ron Paul" mode, even as these two are doing very well in the polls. Mitt Romney consistently so.

Unlike other candidates, he didn't convert to Roman Catholicism, isn't a Mormon, has not engaged in unsanctioned coitus, remained a virgin until marriage, has not violated the Mann Act, and is not suspected of being a closeted homosexual. Unlike Michele Bachmann, he is not suspected of having a vagina. Mr. Santorum has received some important endorsements from Evango-Fascist church leaders, some of whom have even asked Mrs. Bachmann to withdraw from the race so that Evango-Fascists could unite behind Mr. Santorum.

His flavour, instead of Black Walnut, would be Plain Generic White Bread. I wonder if Plain Generic White Bread-flavoured ice cream has ever been produced?

The Jelly Belly company could make that flavor and issue them to people that give donations to the campaign. They could be shipped in boxes that say, "No one has the Plain Generic White Bread-flavored Ice Cream© jelly beans to run this country-Rick Santorum"

He's more like flavor of the next 5 days. He polls below Buddy Roemer in New Hampshire. Media is pushing him hard tho in Iowa. The only place his campaign is actually active is in Iowa, he and his family have lived out there for like the last year. A lot of pressure being put on Bachmann to get out of the race, she'll drop out after Iowa. Santorum might stay in until South Carolina or Florida to try to capitalize the evangelical vote but so is Rick Perry and apparently New Gingrich.(Going to focus on SC instead of New Hampshire.) Huntsman will probably be the flavor of the week after Iowa since he's campaigning exclusively in New Hampshire just like Santorum in Iowa.

Let's just cut to the sophomoric humour:

Santorum flavoured jelly beans.

Iowa is a social conservative state, so Santorum may do well. He may become the media's anti-Romney flavor of the month, after or if not Ron Paul does.

If Santorum doesn't place well in Iowa, his campaign is finished.

Oh, yes. I just now happened to remember the definition of Santorum

You know, I've always been deeply ambivalent about what Dan Savage did to Santorum with his Google bombing campaign. I mean it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and all, but I hate to see that level of political attack legitimized in so many people's eyes because they thought it happened to a deserving target. IMHO it's sort of like tracking someone down in real life over an online dispute, definitely creepy and not the place you want to take things.

someone is angry that gays are being bullied.

santorum says he doesn't agree with gay marriage.

so what do they do? they go and bully santorum.

hypocrisy.

SANTORUM (n): The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

Thank you, Dan Savage!

Ah, the website: http://santorum.com/

That was priceless.

i'm afraid to click it

No one is going to Google his name and think that's what it means. You'd have to already know who Rick Santorum is and hate his guts to use his surname that way. Dan Savage is just showing how classless he is.

Actually, Santorum was raised a Catholic, and is now a follower of the cultish traditionalist Latin Mass Catholicism. I have to wonder is evangelical Protestants who support him are aware of this fact, as he by definition believes there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church.
Or maybe its Santorum's hatred of public education and civil rights for gays that lets them overlook this fact.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Ah, I didn't realize that he was a Catholic. Probably his Evango-Fascist supporters didn't know that, either. If they haven't figured it out by Tuesday, then he might do pretty well in Iowa's caucuses.

And? Is class a prerequisite for participation in political debate in the United States? (Well, what passes for it anyways...)

Savage may be classless, but he is politically engaged, and he has a loyal following of readers with whom he can communicate.

Not at all. Look at Rush Limbaugh for Heaven's sake. We simply use the word "classless" against our opponents. Not that it really has any meaning.
