Subscribe to RSSANAMOSA, CEDAR RAPIDS, HIAWATHA, Iowa, and WASHINGTON -- Rick Santorum today finally wrapped up his 50-city tour de Iowa.
He continued to press anti-gay views, saying that calling same-sex marriage a marriage would be like calling a cup of tea a basketball.
He repeatedly quoted a study that families do better in heterosexual marriages. Though that study actually uses the phrase "nuclear" family, which can include same-sex couples.
Three supporters of same-sex marriage stood with posters next to the National Organization of Marriage bus, including Alice McCabe and her husband, who have a daughter and daughter-in-law with a daughter in Minneapolis. The National Organization of Marriage has asked Republican presidential candidates to sign an anti-gay marriage pledge.
On sex columnist Dan Savage's threat to mess with search results for Santorum's first name -- having already done so with his surname, Santorum called it “disgusting.”
"It doesn't deserve any kind of recognition,” he said. “This is the kind of disgusting discourse in our society that coarsens our society and doesn't add value. Because we have a society now with the Internet that anybody on the extreme fringe can post things and be heard, it doesn't mean that should be paid attention to."
At another stop, Santorum, got in a dig at Iowa frontrunner Michele Bachmann.
"Several candidates are members of Congress, never even won statewide,” he said. “If you look at those four folks, three of them on stage represent the most Republican districts in their state. And two of the three have a hard time winning that district."
Santorum, by contrast, was a senator from Pennsylvania, a Democratic-leaning state. But he lost reelection badly in 2006 by 18 percentage points to Bob Casey.
In Cedar Rapids, he said the reason Texas Gov. Rick Perry is considering a bid is because no one has “caught fire” yet. And then tried to make the case for his candidacy.
“What it shows is that the favorites of race, folks who have been getting the most attention in this race have not caught fire,” Santorum said. “People in the Republican Party are looking for somebody different. We hope to give them that a little view of what's a little different in the Ames Straw Poll by exceeding expectations and doing better and getting a little notoriety with this event, so I welcome Gov. Perry.
“We have some differences. I respect those differences, as I do with other candidates in the race, but he'll bring another perspective, which I'm looking forward to debating.”
Elsewhere, Santorum Highlighted the stakes of the straw poll. "We need a good bump from there,” he said. “We really do need a good bump."
After all this campaigning, a poor showing would likely doom his campaign.
Finally in Anamosa, the myriad of stops seemed to take a toll on Santorum, who was popping throat lozenges while speaking to 38 voters at the Lawrence Community Center.
His campaign told NBC News, in fact, Santorum has laryngitis – not good news for a candidate struggling to make a dent in the polls and hoping to get noticed at tomorrow night’s nationally broadcast debate just two days before Ames.
Despite the throat issue, he took questions here for more than an hour, hitting familiar GOP applause lines on health care and spending. But the candidate acknowledged the laryngitis could be a hurdle.
"I'm a little worried about tomorrow night,” Santorum told NBC News.

Well at least Rick and Obama are on the same page on this one.
So, what's the problem with gay bashing? They have their own brand of bashing anytime they call me a homophobe. I say... what's good for the goose... is good for the goose!
"We need a good bump from there,” he said. “We really do need a good bump."
I'll go with the blueberry jam, rick.
On toast.
Rick doesn't have to bash, evidently he uses lube. Lots and lots of lube.
".. what's good for the goose... is good for the goose!"
Sounds like a rosey palmer, Brian.
Enjoy!
You really have to wonder why anyone spends any time on this non-issue in IOWA, one of 6 (?) states that allows gay marriage. It's not like its suddenly going to become constitutional to discriminate again.
Don't we have more important things to spend our time on?
Do ANY of the candidates have any solutions to the economic crisis facing our nation ?
Wow....... He is such a flamer...and then says this ...lol
Little Ricky really shouldn't be dissing Marcus that way!
He's gonna make a fine First Lady!
The f@cking economy is crashing and these nimrods are bitching about gays?
Care for some jam?
Excellent point old gal - they should be focused on the economy, right?
Like Obama. Right now, at this very moment he is....packing his suitcase for a trip to the vineyard.
You like apples? How about 'dem apples?
Taste like a crashing stock market, eh old gal?
You're right Spanky.
Obama is at fault for the entire economy.
Did it all himself he did.
What's got Spanky's panties in a bunch now? Ohh...right...Obama taking a much-earned vacation.
When's YOUR vacation Spanky? Lawyerin's hard work, innit...I mean, personally chasing all thise ambulances...or do you just do traffic infractions?
Skanky is living proof of what happens when you're daylight deprived...
Maybe some day (soon) the little guy will work his way out of the mail-room...
Until then - put him on ignore! No one here is a bigger attention whore then he is!
Yep, it's time for the annual "miss the terrorist threat warning" vacation.
A tradition since 2001.
Well, gopisextinct, I seem to recall an Omnibus spending bill of 2009- loaded with over 9000 earmarks, which Obama said he would go line by line and send back- that was passed by a democratic House and Senate, which Obama signed.
Then there was the stimulous, billions of which went to his donors. Created a lot of jobs- in China.
Then the HCr- passed without a single republican vote.
Yeah, it's pretty much Obama.
Could you get him to go on vacation and not come back?
No GOPextinct, not at fault. Responsible. But I guess I should not expect you to understand the distinction. I Certainly do not expect the old gal to get it.
See Obama has made a bad situation far worse, but that's not the point. He's the boss applesauce. he's in charge. Accordingly he needs to do something. That's the job.
If not him then who? You know leader, Executive of the country. Those titles have meaning. Sadly he is just not up for it apparently.
Aww, AM, if you won't take a few days off, at least shut it down for the night. I imagine you were up mighty late last night. Final call didn't come in until after 10:00 my time.
Get some rest. You'll need it. Getting bead AM, really bad.
And aw, Feisty, still faking the old ignore, eh? Sure you are.
Geez - Laryngitis.
Is that what you call having nothing to say?
Which comprised, what, <1% of the budget,---------nice try.
Stimulus worked. They fixed Telegraph with it. China? Who set that up? Clinton.
Nothing to be proud of NoJo. BTW: You're never going to get sick and need insurance are ya'? After all, insurance is a Socialist concept. Taking money from the collective to benefit the people. Sounds Socialist to me. You'll refuse insurance of course, and pay out of pocket. Right NoJo? Right? That is assuming you live.
Sick ? They plug her in twice a week on OUR dime...
extinct - so $800 + billion was less than 1% of the budget?? I quess math is not your strong suit.
telegraph??? The stimulas was a success? That must explain our rousing 1st half GDP of under what 1%.
Ah, yes obamacare, taking $500 billion away from granny and gramps medicare to fund obamacare wonder how eliminating all that medicare waste and fraud is cpoming? just think extinct obama wanted to cut another $600 billion from medicare in his most recent grand plan of defict reductions. Does make one wonder on if he is trying to use the same dollars for both programs? If not, I bet granny is really excited about seeing her medicare cut to the tune of $1.1 trillion over the next 10 years.
What interests me the most about obamacare is the vouchers he says the government will issue to those who can't afford obamacare.
NOJo's earmarks were <1% of the budget. Probably a lot less than when repubs ruled. The first $787 billion stimulus (note correct spelling Dr. NoJo) was signed by G.W. Bush "american". Go back and read NoJo's comment again "american". Yeah,...I'll wait. Hey by the way NoJo, did you name yourself after the villain in the "Power-Puff Girls" (MOJO JO JO)? Remember the mean monkey with the bandages on his head?
Any economist worth his/her salt avers the stimulus was a success, and medicare "cuts" in Obamacare are a right-wing ding-a-ling myth.
Pray you don't need Obama care one day "american".
extinct - You were the one that referenced the 2009 stimulas bill as less than 1% of the budget. Nice attempt at walkin' it back by now saying it was the earmarks only. In case you didn't notice, my reply was to you and what you posted in 2.10 with each topic you mentioned specifically addressed.
BTW call bushes 2008 bill what most economists and analysts do, TARP. Tarp really had more to do with saving the financial institutions from collapse. You may be hard pressed to find anyone, except yourself, calling it a stimulas package.
interesting on how you think that medicare cuts are part of obamacare... you must have forgotten that you wrote this in post 2.13...medicare "cuts" in Obamacare are a right-wing ding-a-ling myth. even right wingers know that medicare is a seperate entity from obamacare, why don't you?
Some myth, the following are but two links concerning the transfer of funds from mediacre to obamacare...
http://dailycaller.com/2011/03/04/hhs-secretary-sebelius-admits-to-double-counting-in-obamacare-budget/
then there is politifact...
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/jun/16/mitt-romney/500-billion-medicare-obamacare-romney-says/
Spin it however you want and call it whatever you want, cuts or savings. but the fact remains that medicare is expected to help fund obamacare over the next 10 years.
So you want to call the 2009 stimulas a success, because any economist with their salt says it was? ROTFLMAO! That must explain our current GDP of around 1% and our unemployment rate holding steady at about 9%. Why not tell us all who these brilliant economists are and their most recent comments of the 2009 stimulas? surely they must be at the tip of your tongue or perhaps a keystroke or two away.
In your never, never land of thought perhaps you will share with us what the number of jobs created has to be every month just to keep up with the population growth? How about this one, As the 99'ers fall off of the unemployment rolls would one expect the % of unemployed to rise, fall, or hold steady.
what's telegraph?
Gross!!! Even his name sounds disgusting. I wonder what would happen if a person googled it?
You would come up with frothy & mixture... lol
Kind of like the Republican field for 2012, just plain ridiculous. No ideas to fix the economy except gay-bashing.
That's OK Tom.... you have no skin in the game so what's your worry? They are going to decide without your help... how about that for minimizing?
I've said many times Tom, history is not going to reflect kindly on when the tea baggers main-streamed crazy!
It's like they're trying to outdo themselves as to which one is more insane...
You know, Tom, you bring up a point-
I am totally against the gay bashing, if that's what you want to call it. I believe that the government should de- deputize all religious institutions immediately. Any two people who want a state sanctioned union, and the attendant tax advantages, should be allowed to get one. Any two people who want a "marriage" and whatever spiritual advantages they believe attain thereto, should get one according to the beliefs of their churches, mosques, or synagogues.
Problem solved.
However, I have read about the nasty stuff posted on the Internet- it is childish, disgusting, and wrong.
That you are okay with it it bespeaks the kind of breathtaking hypocrisy that is the hallmark of liberalism.
I used to feel sorry for you- all overgrown inhabitants of fairytale land.
Then you destroyed my country. All bets are off.
PSSST - listen I have read this @!$%# out of you for better then a week now...
This is NOT your country this is OUR country...
Who the hell died and left YOU in charge?
You really, really do have a sense of self-importance don't ya?
Sorry - no one is picking up the crap you're laying down anymore ...
Like I told JS1 - you should continue some time away for awhile - in the meantime you still come across as a bitter old bat that NEVER got picked for the pom pom squad!
Feisty- you just described half the Repugnacant party. Well done.
Thanks Ed - see my follow up comment below...
Damn - there's that power of yours Nojo. Feisty really is your puppet.
Any time you say anything she has to respond. That is true power.
Well done.
And poor Feisty, what a sad little existence. To literally be at the beck and call of someone else for years and years.
Hey NOjo - you noticing the ig drop off in libbies around here? The herd is really being culled.
Poor libbies, these really must be trying times for the little buggers. Obama is mia [ I mean vacay], Wisconsin was a bust, and the tit drying up.
HoJoBloMo:
[Then you destroyed my country.]
Oh, what a bunch of bull@!$%#...c'mon, freaking GROW UP ALREADY! While it's nice to wind the rubber band once in awhile, but how about trotting back to FoxNation or The Blaze where you can wallow in your own crapulence. Simply put...your @!$%# is stale.
You sound like Sarah Palin, and we all know how THAT'S working out for her...
I would have thought that by now she'd stop stalking me- i've had her on ignore since January.
But, whatever.
What I've noticed is the fact that so many liberals are jumping off the Obama bandwagon. Dana Milbank. Maureen Down. cent Ungyer. (if you read his piece on the Huffpo, you know why MSNBC fired him. Imagine calling yourself a progressive, and not worshipping Obama! It's blasphemous!)
I cannot decide who is sadder- those who think their ideas really, really would work, but Obama is a poor technician, or those who, still, believe these ideas will work, and Obama is succeeding, all evidence to the contrary.
Neither camp has any reality based views.
The media people, though, are truly disgusting. I felt for Cindy Sheheen- she lost her SON, for heavens sake. Her grief over that cost her the rest of her family, and I firmly believed that she was exploited by the organizers of Code Pink.
Until that is,they, and she, got kicked in the neck by both the Obama administration and their besotted media paid propagandists.
Seems they have been told that their "peace protests" are no longer appropriate- and there is no more media coverage. It seems that such goings on are not tolerated during the Obama administration. Witness the amount of coverage of the Libyan "kinetic military action".
But I'm off my point- there are two camps of fairytale land dwellers- those who still dwell firmly in Obamaland, and those who want utopia, and believe that Obama's ineptitude has precluded it's coming.
Considering what they have done to my country, my contempt for both is equal. It just comes in different flavors.
I see that Feisty is back to her old CYBER BULLY ways. Funny I have a few friends on the Roselle Il, PD.
You'd better watch it girlie, or the next knock on the door will be the PD with a pair of cuffs with your name on them.
I assume Mickey is a fake poster, stand in for maybe New Day Dawning or some of the other intellectual midgets from the "secret tree house"
Seriously people, the country is going down the toilet and Obama has done NOTHING to fix it. But hey you know I am sure that there are a lot of people who cheered Nero for playing the fiddle while Rome was burning...so keep up the cheerleading. 31% approval among Indies is not getting anyone reelected.
Well then - color me scared... lmao!
In the meantime, we have NJNB and her lunatic ravings - honey, you might want to check on your cats - even they have had enough of your bull@!$%#! ;o)
PS: Don't flatter youself you old bat -- everyone on this blog knows you *peek* you dumb@!$%#!
Excuse me? LOL So sorry to hear about losing your job, must have been all the blogging from work huh???
No sweetie ask your friend Mark CTO of Newsvine to unmask my IP address. You can see my posts going back to the old site. Unless he is a little ticked at you for drawing all kinds of unwanted attention to him, as CTO.
I am guessing all the alcohol has really hurt your brain cells.
I will remain here, as I always am. READY TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU STEP OUT OF LINE. Too bad you are actually in IL. They have very strict CYBER BULLYING LAWS. And oh yeah what you have said here is enough to have you in jail for at least a day AND A RESTRAINING ORDER TO KEEP YOU OFF THIS SITE.
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING.
And WHO exaclty are you to be threating anyone you -- keyboard warrior pussy?
Hit me with your best shot will ya?
I just SO love those who think they are somebody.... hiding behind the keyboard makes them somehow relevant!
Thank you SOO much for playing... LMAO!
PS: While you're at it -- why don't YOU call ghost-busters? They will have about the same effect...
RING RING - call who ever you like ass-wipe!
I guess your still a little peeved that I wasn't banned at your behest.
Why are YOU allowed to get away with explatives and others, not??
How do you "know" I'm not "SOMEBODY". I could be "SOMEBODY" you see on the morning news shows....
YOU are the one threatening and harassing people hiding behind the key board. I am just the person CALLING YOU OUT on your bs.
Sad little life you must have, imaginery friends in the treehouse, no job. I guess now I know where all the hate comes from. That you act like a 6th grade girl bullying people is just the symptom of your hate. Maybe you need a shrink, or an anti depressant?
Well, for starters you sound like a NOBODY other then that... I'll leave it up to the audience...
YAY -- whatever.. it's only a matter of time before you're gone again my little troll! ;o)
Been there and done THAT!
Enjoy it while you can... ;o) Your days are numbered....
In the meantime, please continue to carry on - it will make it all the quicker! lol
At the end of the day safecracker - you are nothing more then an little impotent man who hides behind his keyboard because there isn't a woman in the world that would pay you the time of day....
I would offer you some Viagra - but it would be a waste...
Really, really????
LMAO after all the hate you have spewed at people do you really "think" that you can get me banned for that?? ROFL what a twit!!
Is "safecracker" your code word for trying to get someone banned?? LMAO wow. I am NOT anyone other than Halo. You can ask your "friends" Mark, Tyler or Sally to confirm that.
Well, at least you called me "man" as opposed to Pietro calling me a "shim" which kinda flies in the face of that tolerance you libbies preach but don't live. Typical I might add. That you needed to revise your comment to include the Safecracker line is too much.
GIVE 'EM HELL, FEISTY !
I love it when you get angry! ;)
You know how to push the right-wing's buttons!
ZZZT! ZZZT! ZZZT!
Best,
R. Oliver Radiko
Feisty wipes the board with their arses and they come back for more. Hey, if you like a good spanking, I hear Bachmann keeps a closet full of paddles. Marcus won't know...go on over.
Feisty wipes the board with their arses and they come back for more. H
TP, know she really doesn't
Sorry nojo, but someone needs to address her behavior. I thought she mellowed after the Lib-R-Us gathering, but it didnt stick and she's back with the same attacks directed to you.
Feisty to nojo
1. Still got the battery acid running through your veins eh NJNB?
We would like to believe that after you recent near heartbreak, you would of re-assessed the amount of hatred you carry in your heart...
We should of known better....
2.You GO get them you miserable OLD BAT M'Kay?
PS: Thought you had me on ignore?
Nothing more than further PROOF you're a LIAR & and FRAUD...
DO YOU know where your hubby is? LMAO!
3. And therein lies the title you've so succesfully earned as the seond biggest LIAR on this blog right behind JS1!
YOU are a PHONY, FRAUD & a unsuccesul LIAR!
You have been PROVEN repeatedly to soak up EVERY comment like the right wind sponge YOU are!
Notice to NJNB - there were MORE people defending my comments then those that came to your rescue!
That little princess of yours has my deepest sympathies with a HATE riddled Grama like yourself!
Just keepon hating on... one day you will get yours! ;o)
Every dog has her day and it won't take long before YOU get yours...
4 .What's the matter NJNB - hubby out of town AGAIN? I would be more worried about WHAT was UPwith that then spreading you your HATRED every chance you get?
Do YOU think the hubby wants to get it on with a BITTER OLD BROAD that couldn't day something NICE if they had a GUN to their head?
Anyone else would have had the account suspended.
TP - Please tell me why this is acceptable.
And before Feisty goes digging into my history, at times I have been petty, but nothing like her. Someone should ask her why she has blocked her history.
Mark Murry,
You need to keep your girl in check. Feisty once again crossed the line, are you going to do anything about it, or let it slide again?
If it wasn't for pure hate - she wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning!
Pity - her imaginary grand-kid...
Ya know - politics is a contact sport - having said that there are TWO thingsI can not abide by - the first being a professional LIAR and the second someone pimping out their kid for advantage!
Awesome.
Guess who the crashing economy will hurt more: Dem supporters, or Republican contributors?
You'll need to coat all of Wall Street with one solid splat mat to contain all of the republican goo raining down from above. You'd have to squeegie them off the sidewalk.
This might be the surest way to get rid of repubs in one giant mass extinction event.
Better than a meteor. Yeeeeee Hawwww!
Fiesty-- No Joe hurt my feelings. Waaaa!
Ignore her - like I said months ago - she really does have battery acid running through her veins! ;o)
If it wasn't for pure hate - she wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning!
Pity - her imaginary grand-kid...
Ya know - politics is a contact sport - having said that there are TWO thingsI can not abide by - the first being a professional LIAR and the second someone pimping out their kid for advantage!
Feisty's got a wicked case of NOJO derangement syndrome.
I hope she can get a shot for that.
imaginary grand kid
who the f!@# are you that you can get away with that??????
oh right, special friend pf mark cto of newsvine.
Spanky, I think fiesty just made up a double strength batch of her patented Hate-R-Aid.
That ignore this author button works really well! It is so much easier to read now that I've put NOJO and JAS1 mindless ramblings on ignore...so much more pleasurable!
Yepper, the ignore button works wonders in showing how unbalanced one's approach in life is. No wonder why many FR libs want to dwell on the past, times were obviously simpler for them and ignorance was bliss. LMAO!
Go Dylan Ratigan! Your rage almost matches mine. Please keep it up.
Right on!
I think I have Spanky all figured out. All he really wants, is to have an argument with someone, practically anyone. He probably would want to argue about whether it's party cloudy or partly sunny. Psst! He kind of sounds like one of those dirty words. No, not Santorum silly," Lawyer." That is the word I was thinking. If I need one, I'm thinking of hiring him.
They could tie a pork chop around his neck & it ain't gonna help or with NJNB for that matter!
Wow anti semitic much??????????
She could have meant it to anti-muslim too.
Throw as much as you can into a baseless attack.
Keep it up Rick..."YOU" Know how to win...lmfao.
Somebody help Santorum! Set him on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!
MSNBC's playing leftist rhetorical games; opposing gay marriage is not "anti-gay".
Some gay people also oppose gay marriage. Are they "anti-themselves"?
Is President Obama "anti-gay"?
Same rhetorical trick that leftists use with terms like "anti-woman" .....
I would consider Pres Obama to be most hyper social conservative president I have seen in my lifetime. This is not a compliment.
I am all for the 5th Amendment. The state should perform state business, and religion should deal with religious issues. A marriage is a LEGAL standing. I believe what Santorum is trying to be (emphasis on trying) is to be "protective" of religious institutions meaning of marriage. I have two gay friends (both male) neither when I asked said they wanted to get marriage. The reasoning? Divorce is expensive.
However, right now we have a vacuum. The Constitution was drafted (and through the years) to lay out our rites as citizens and laws pertaining to them. You cannot guarantee "Equal protection under the law" when you are not protecting "all's" rites. Thus, gay marriage is a legal issue that can really only be resolved by the USSC. As I believe they are the only ones with the intestinal fortitude to say that gay people living in this country have every rite to be married under the law.
Of course, liberals love to forget about DOMA, which was signed by Clinton, extended by W and extended again under Obama.
I'm an Independent. That said, I do not vote for social conservatives PERIOD. And there are plenty of them on the D side. Even though most people pretend they do not exist. I wonder when Obama's "view" of gay marriage will evolve. My bet is two weeks before election. Pandering at it's best.
I am thinking it has been a while since you voted for president if Obama is a too social conservative for you and Bush,Clinton and Bush. Nobody for you to vote for in this election either on the R side.
And what happens at the end of a good bump?...SANTORUM!
How frothy of Santorum to be so forthright in his disdain for everyone's free speech but his.
"It (GOP/TP?) doesn't deserve any kind of recognition,...discourse in our society that coarsens our society and doesn't add value."
"Because we have a society now with the Internet that anybody on the extreme fringe can post things and be heard, it doesn't mean that should be paid attention to."
Sounds like he's dissing Tea People if you don't know that he is referring to columnist Dan Savage for his work on revealing this one unqualified and unhinged candidate for what he is...A NASTY MESS.
Sowing nasty seeds ALWAYS yields nasty fruit Rickster; you were simply served your reverse helping in perpetuity on the web.
Funny, this article was about Santorum and most of the comments have nothing to do with him. Ah yes, he will go far in this campaign. So far, its got to be the most irrelevant ever. Sadly this guy with get federal funds to run a useless campaign, shoot you could take the funds from all these candidates and actually create jobs, this political system is comical at times, but hey sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying...
They dont need to worry about Fire they will be getting a lot of that . If the Genocide Pact that Pope Pius the XII inspired in 1959. And signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1988, If actually applied to these people would be jailed for violating it because the meaning of Genocide isnt just killiing off a certain race or group it also is to cause mental abuse to a certain race or group and in some countries you are jailed. If they are representing the real Christians they would know Judgement is offense to GOD and to persist on forcing your beliefs more than once also violates Gods law
Well I guess somebody should slam Michelle Bachmann on the cover of News Week she looks frustated probably because she keeps trying to Pray the Gay away and she wakes up everyday and he is still there.
Let's see, gay people make up what percentage of the population and we should be concerned about what people do in their private lives? And these republicans talk about smaller governments, how about a less intrusive one? I'm no fan of abortions either, but that is a woman's choice and must always be the case. Republicans kill me, they are all for staying out of boardrooms but they wanna be in every body's bedroom (including the un-patriot act). What happens in boardrooms should be a crime, coupled with wall street the economy was trashed. Ah, but let's just single out groups and pick on them, they are easy targets and save us from talking about real issues that matter to people.
Mav- "Republicans kill me, " Plan 1: if you are poor, disabled, or old... you betcha. That's TeaParty Care for you.
Plan 2: If your middle class, they'll just keep taking from you (via taxes & corp. tax cuts) until there is no middle class, then you move to Plan 1.
He should be more concerned about the crackpot ideas that he spouts. Hopefully he and several others will disappear from the American political scene very shortly.
Santorum need to find a nice sanitarium and take a rest.
