Wow!

How long can this idiot stay on top of any poll. He's easier to beat than Gingrich.

Check this out. Here's Rick in his silly book:

“Sadly the propaganda campaign launched in the 1960s has taken root. The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness.”

In the interview Sunday with Stephanopoulos last week, Santorum said, “I don’t know — that’s a new quote for me. He then went on to blame his wife for it, saying she ghost wrote a few bits (she's completely uncredited in the book btw.).

So Don't blame Rick, he didn't write it, never even heard that quote before, from HIS BOOK.

Buuuuuuuut...

Check this out, in 2005 the same interviewer asked about the SAME quote.

Here's the transcript:


STEPHANOPOULOS: Let’s talk about something else in the book, radical feminists. A second quote from the book, you say, Respect for stay-at-home mothers has been poisoned by a toxic combination of the village elders’ war on the traditional family and radical feminism’s mysogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect. Let’s get specific here. Name one or two of these radical feminists who are on this crusade.

SANTORUM: Well, I mean, you know, you have — you go back to, what’s her name, well, Gloria Steinem, but I’m trying to remember — I can’t remember the woman’s name. It’s terrible. Anyway…

STEPHANOPOULOS: But it’s kind of an important point. Because you paint this broad brush: radical feminists, village elders. Name one.

SANTORUM: There’s lots of — no, there’s lot’s of — well, Gloria Steinem. There’s one. I mean, there’s lots of writings out there…


Pretty fecking ridiculous.

So this is the new moral crusader on the right? Can't wait for some Obama vs. Santorum/Romney/Gingrich

Not until there's a separation of business and government.

Honestly, it'll take a massive scandal and a third party. And even then... Unless there's an unambiguous legal framework for preventing businesses from controlling politics, it won't ever happen.

My question would be how did he get on top of any polls in the first place? He's the youngest most inexperienced guy running... and he's clearly a total douche lacking any real sort of intelligence that would be required to run a country... do Americans just vote purely based on looks now or what? Either the polls are rigged or the majority of Americans are just absolutely retarded imo...

Basically, conservatives are not too bright. Look at the polls. They have been voting for ridiculous reasons and those reasons, naturally, keep falling apart.

So, they're left with:

Romney - Who they can barely stand,but who they cynically thought could win
Gingrich - Who they dislike, think is dishonest, and think can't win
Santorum - who's a total douchebag, but panders quite well, and who isn't Romney or Gingrich
Ron Paul - who about 15% of them like and 95% of them consider unelectable

And this is their best and brightest.

We'll have to disagree on Paul, but it's def true that the US populous makes a lot of uninformed decisions. And it's also true that people exploit this ignorance and people's fear, etc.

The Democrats are every bit as rotten to the core. Look at how rapidly these totalitarians are crushing everyone's last fraction of 'Liberty' to death. They are every bit the war hawk anti life anti all that is good and healthy reptilian eugenicists as the other criminal 'Party'. OUT with them all.
