He is currently a front-runner* for the Rep. ticket for the 2012 presidential election. And has some pretty dated (read: religious fanatical conservative) views on homosexuality, notably in the military.
*If you believe in momentum. Technically it's Mitt Romney.
This guy is nuttier than squirrel shit. The stuff he comes out with is amazing. He is against all forms of abortion no matter the circumstance even if it is a result of rape or incest, but he let his wife have one because doctors said she might die if she tried to have it. He's said publicly that gay sex leads to beastiality. That sex without the goal of having kids is evil. And he is leading in the polls? Really?
This guy would fit right in a couple of hundred years ago. The fuck is with republicans and their backward views of sex? They are terrified of it and the thought of 2 men having it just puts them into a rage. They always run on government being too big and having too much power, but then tell gay people what they do in their room at night isn't legal.
I often wonder in America, if people that are registered as 'Independent' vote for the most batshit crazy guy they can for the opposition so that their preferred Candidate wins the final election. If I understand correctly in some states that only people registered as Republican / Democrat can vote in the primaries for their candidates though.
Not sure how anyone could throw a serious vote towards this guy.

I'm absolutely serious when I say this, They hate women.
he doesn't want your wife to be able to have an abortion if her life might be at risk, but it's fine for him because he knows he has the money and power to protect his own hypocritical viewpoint if his wife were ever in that position (which she was)
his wife needed an abortion to save her life, she had one, he still thinks your wife shouldn't be allowed to do the same to save her own life.
I don't know that he has ever provided an answer to that criticism but yeah, he's a giant douche
It'll be funny if he does win the nomination for the republicans beause Obama will wipe the floor with him in a debate
you will get to see a grown man cry on national TV
I'm absolutely serious when I say this, They hate women.
That's even more apparent when you look at their discussions on women's reproductive rights and if abortion should be 100% illegal or not, and everyone talking about it is a man. The 1 subject men should not be discussing without women and there isn't a single woman allowed in the room. It makes your head spin with how stupid these people can be sometimes.
Yeah I don't think it's really occurred to any of these republicans yet that after you win your stupid clusterfuck of ignorance, that you then have to go on stage in public and debate with a man who is a god damn constitutional law professor. Then again these people aren't known for the accurate view of reality so perhaps they could be so stupid that obama wouldn't know how to respond. I'm sick of him being such a nice guy though. The crap they have said about him but he's never responded. I want him to get pissed and start tearing their claims apart 1 at a time, exposing them for biggots and racists they are.
Global Warming isnt Climate Science, Its Political Science - Rick Santorum
Make this Man President.
If Santorum wins in Michigan thats the end of Romney.
Santorum wont ever be President though, the call will be made to Jeb Bush to run, because the Party wont be able to unite behind a solitary candidate.
Romney has the big money but rank and file Republicans dont trust him because hes a Mormon.
Thats why the Christian Santorum is threatening him.
They arent voting For Santorum rather against Romney.
This is gold, Democratic women sticking it to the Republican men
“Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation over vasectomies,” said Rep. Yasmin Neal, author of the bill. “It is patently unfair that men can avoid unwanted fatherhood by presuming that their judgment over such matters is more valid than the judgment of the General Assembly, while women’s ability to decide is constantly up for debate throughout the United States.”
fuck this thread makes me glad we have the pollies that we all complain about and hate over here because they still aren't anywhere near on the level of reh-tard as what i've read in this thread
No matter what Obama does the republicans are 100% against it at all times. Even if the idea he is talking about came from republicans a few years ago. You can't have a rational discussion about anything when the other side puts their fingers in their ears going lalalalalala I can't hear you you filthy black kenyan.
Yeah that is some nasty, fucked up politics in the USA - where even the best possible candidate is an absolute twat.
Loving some of the stuff coming out of the US public making fun of the presidential race candidates though. Absolute gold - showing that the US is not at all represented by the dumb-arses that want to run their country.
Obama is looking mighty fucking good right not. The race candidates are a joke.

Not just Abbott - any party that happens to be in opposition.
Having said that, you do have a lot of instances where they are more objective and trying to reach common goals - they just don't make good news stories.
The guy is a complete retard. On 1 hand i would love it if he was the republican choice because i very much doubt he could beat Obama and i don't like any of the republican candidates (except Ron Paul to some degree). But then i am also scared that if he won, someone like this could be president of america.
Also, i am happy to see the 1st search result for "santorum" is still the same. :)

Sounds exactly like deomcrats for the 8 years prior to Obama. Bush dergangement syndrome was rampant. But with the way public discourse happens these days there's very little room for compromise between the two parties' supporters.
The republicans selecting a representative may end up picking an "anti sciense, anti woman, fundamentalist christian", who won't be able to win over the middle ground and defeat Obama because at the moment those views are too extreme.
There are many good reasons to want to ditch Obama, but a candidate that represents the ideals of the extremist right base is unlikely to garner majority support.
The majority of people here who hate him, hate him because he is conservative and not a looney looney far left wing extremist who is like "HURR DURR GAY MARRIAGE AND TEH CLIMATE CHANGING RACISSST RACICCCCCCCCCCISM"
Pretty sure people dislike Santorum because he's grossly out-of-touch with his electorate.
Is he out of touch? or are you just claiming he is because you don't agree with his views?
His conservative views were well known when he was elected by his electorate.

He's the current front-runner to become the Republican candidate presidency. There's absolutely no way either Romney or Santorum would win an election against Obama right now, from what I understand.
The main reason i hate him is because he grouped homosexuality with beastiality in regards to marriage.
I long for the day when religious beliefs are a private matter and not involved in politics or anything like that. But i know that day will probably never come. :(
Romney would have a good chance if the anti-Romney right would get behind him. In the choice between Obama and Romney, if they chose to stay home, Obama wins.
With them Romney might win. But just like in 2004 if the fundamentalist right actually vote the Replublican candidate can win.
I feel sorry for Obama. He's had to endure such hatred simply because the colour of his skin when he is trying to make the country a better place. At least in the past when people didn't agree with the president they acted nice around him. Obama doesn't even get that.

Except one critical factor is one is terminating a human being, and the other is terminating tadpoles. A logical argument would be a banning of hysterectomies as opposed to banning abortions.
I like Santorum. He says what modern Republicans are thinking, as wrong as that may be. He does not hide the crazy behind a manufactured persona like Romney. Ron Paul has too many heart felt beliefs that are antithetical to the GOP. Gingrich is a dishonest retread from a previous era, pushing the same failed policies.
But Ricky is a true reflection what Republicans are all about, and proud of it. If there is any justice, Rick will win the nomination where he faithfully campaign for what the GOP believes in.
Basically:
- he's batshit crazy
- his happy to represent his party's batshit crazy policies
- he doesn't hide it at all

They are talking about contraception, not abortions.
Holy crap mantis that video just proves what is wrong with America today. If some nutcase religious person is able to get that far into politics with those views, then we are doomed I tell you.
In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.
As we reported yesterday, Breitbart spoke of his intention to release the tape during his CPAC speech last month. The footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill and Bernardine Dohrn. Observers had speculated that the footage could have derailed Obama’s hopes for a second term.
“I’ve got video from his college days that show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008 – the videos are going to come out,” said Breitbart, adding that Obama would be vetted.
Breitbart spent his final hour in a bar near his home called the Brentwood sipping red wine and talking politics. After leaving the bar at around 11:30pm, Breitbart began to walk home before apparently suffering a fatal heart attack.
Although it is reported that Breitbart was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, when Lawrence Sinclair called the hospital, they denied that anyone by that name had been admitted within the previous 72 hours.
Santorum is winning in Ohio with around a 3rd of the vote counted.
Hes done very well on Super Tuesday
If you have PayTV hes about to speak on FoxNews
At the least this should be entertaining.
I heard Barry had him terminated as he found out he was born in Kenya and that he had dinner with the weather underground evil people. Seriously he looked pretty old for his age, I think he was burning the candle from both ends.
Santorum on the other hand looks fantastic, his comb over is meticulous and he should be the type of president the Yanks truly deserve.
CNN has a Virtual Convention graphic that shows you how the floor of the Republican Convention will look and where it all is at the moment.
Texas and California between them have roughly 600 votes an eventual winner needs 1200 so these two States effectively choose the Republican Candidate.
Romney might have a lead but there is still a lot of votes left.
I think Santorum has stepped up, I dont think Gingrich will go the distance and will fall in behind Santorum, a lot of ppl suspect Ron Paul might fall in behind Romney though Pauls camp deny this. In a close finish Pauls support might be enough for Romney.
Obamas future is linked directly to the economic performance of the US. If they can sustain growth and moderate productivity until the election its pretty likely he will stay.
Santorum would be a fucking disaster for the world, potentially worse than Bush.
The thing republicans have said hundreds, if not thousands of times already is "Obama is spending all this money! look at him put us more in debt than any other president in history!" conveniently forgetting to mention the fact that he had to spend that money fixing the shit bush caused.
With the perception growing that he will be the GOP nominee, Romney leads President Obama by five points in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. Today's numbers show Romney at 48%, Obama at 43%. That’s Romney’s largest lead since December.
Maybe not Csirac. That was true for all the other guys but they are white. Sad as it is to say a lot of ameircans won't vote for him because they don't like black people and see republicans as the christian party which they are all for. Hell a portion of the US still think obama is a muslim and was never born in the country. I sure hope that republicans don't get in or the country will become so fucked. One guy is a rich fuck who's job was to pick apart companies like a vulture and the other one thinks gay sex leads to man on dog sex and will try to unmarry them. But white southern guys see this as better than a black man.
*sigh* this guy could be the president. The fuck america?
But I’m not really a politician. I guess I kinda am, because I was governor for four years and I’ve run for office. But my heart is [that of] a conservative businessman.
