Rick Santorum Endorses Todd Akin
Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) won two more socially conservative backers for his senatorial bid on Wednesday when former presidential candidate Rick Santorum and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) announced their endorsements.
I’m shocked!! SHOCKED!!! (not really).
“We know the candidate Barack Obama what he was like, the anti-war goverment nigg—the uh—…”
Wow.Can’t wait to see the shitstorm tomorrow morning.
You guys are blowing this way out of proportion. It’s obvious he was trying to say “Government Ninja.”
Okay, I recognize that this could have genuinely been a case of getting tongue-tied, but it seems pretty unlikely. There aren’t a whole lot of words that start with that syllable, so it’s difficult to imagine what he could have even been trying to say.
Based on that, this is basically infuriating.
HOLY FUCK!!! Seriously!!! SERIOUSLY??? Fucking SHIT MAN!!!

Do you know why this is? BECAUSE NO U.S. STATE HAS AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE, SANTORUM. How are you trying to make English the official language of Puerto Rico, when not even states within the nation have an official language? Santorum, I am not even Puerto Rican, am I offended by your comments. How about you suggest a way for Puerto Rico to become a state, and not ultimatums?
Last time a vote came up for Puerto Rico to become a state, Puerto Rico voted against it. I’m not even sure why Santorum is spouting off about this.

Rick Santorum renewed his criticism of John F. Kennedy on Thursday night for saying during his 1960 campaign for the presidency that he believed “in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”
“That’s not America,” the Republican presidential hopeful told a crowd at an Alabama dinner banquet. “That’s France. That’s a naked public square where people of faith are out of bounds.”
Can we send him to Mars already?

Rick Santorum: Obamacare Poster Boy — The candidate’s tax returns reveal staggering medical bills that would bankrupt many Americans—yet Santorum wants to roll back programs that would help families like his.
During a recent interview with Glenn Beck, Rick and Karen Santorum suggested that the Obama administration’s health care reform law would harm people with disabilities, like their three-year-old daughter, Bella, who suffers from a rare and usually fatal genetic disorder. In fact, it was because of President Obama’s health care overhaul, they said, that the former Pennsylvania senator decided to seek the presidency. “We have as you know a little angel, little Bella, special-needs little girl, and when Obamacare passed, that was it, that put the fire in my belly,” Karen said. Rick added that Obama’s Affordable Care Act is “all about the usefulness of the person to society, instead of the dignity of every human life and the opportunity for people who love and care for people to give them the best possibility to have the best possible life.” Yet, even as the Santorums bash Obamacare, their own family story—which includes staggering medical bills that would bankrupt many American families—makes the case for the health care policies that they vigorously oppose.
By cashing in on his senatorial connections to join the 1 percent, Santorum managed to escape the crippling debt that can come with raising a disabled child. But his tax returns appear to show how expensive caring for a disabled child can be under the current health care system, even for someone with health insurance. In 2009 and 2010, the Santorums racked up $100,000 in medical expenses—more than the median American family income each year—and that’s after their private insurance paid some costs. During that same time period, they also had nearly $100,000 worth of household assistance—help they didn’t have in 2007, before Bella was born. (The Santorum campaign did not respond to questions from Mother Jonesabout the exact nature of these expenses.)
Santorum: JFK’s 1960 speech on separation of church and state ‘makes me want to throw up’
“I don’t believe that the separation of church and state is absolute,” Santorum said in an interview today on ABC’s “This Week” program. “The First Amendment means the free exercise of religion and that means bringing people and their faith into the public square.”
Santorum said Kennedy’s 1960 speech in Houston about the separation of church and state, was an “absolutist doctrine” that he disagrees with.
“To say that people of faith have no role in the public square? What makes me throw up is someone who is now trying to tell people that you will do what the government says,” Santorum said. “That now we’re going to turn around and impose our values from the government on people of faith.”
He’s doing the whole “misinterpreting what separation of church and state means. He’s not making much sense, how can he try to push his faith into laws (abortion, contraception, so on) then turn around and say that the government is pushing it’s values on faith.
The worst part is, people will be repeating this nonsense from him as if it’s sound mind blowing statement about how the government is keeping people from practicing their faith.
Also, if Santorum wants to call people out for talking about separation of church and state, he needs to talk about Reagan too.
Actual headline.
Santorum: Obama is ‘a snob’ who ‘wants everybody to go to college’.
GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum once again attacked President Barack Obama on wanting students to go to college Saturday morning, calling the president a “snob” on the campaign trail in Troy, Michigan.
Santorum spoke the tea party group Americans For Prosperity’s Michigan branch and received a round of applauds for his latest eye-brow raising statements.
“President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college, what a snob,” he said. “There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor. And trying to indoctrinate them.”
Santorum doubled down on his comments from Thursday, saying “the indoctrination going on at the university level is a harm to our country” thanks to Obama.
Ironically, Santorum would be calling himself “a snob” as well based on his past history. In 2006, while he was a senator, Santorum pushed to make college more affordable for all Pennsylvanians.
Santorum: Obama is some big smart guy what wants everybody to goes to school.
