This guy is a total nutjob...and because of that I hope he becomes the GOP candidate. Should mean relatively easy success for the dems.

Even so, a split in the GOP wouldn't guarentee unchecked congress for the Dems. The Tea Partiers would still vote in their Tea Party guys, and the "Moderate GOP", whatever the non-Tea Party GOP's would call their new Political party, would still win their fiscal conservative districts. And Republican states like Texas would still send Conservative candidates to the Senate...no way a Dem wins there even with a split vote. It's the presidency that a GOP split would make tough for a conservative to win.

just look at the shit an unchecked republican government was able to do with a conservative supreme court. because the democrats have been just as bad when they've controlled all the levers of power. /sarcasm

Most likely, Rick Santorum will never be president. But thanks to constant media attention and shit he says like this, Santorum can expect to make millions preaching to religious audiences for the rest of his career.

Hahaha... I used to be a Mormon and they would say similar things. Or that Satan would go after Mormons more so than "regular" people because Mormons are the chosen ones.

I get what you're saying, and while I still thinking radical leftists are fundamentally incorrect I can at least appreciate the fact that the goals of collectivist policies are to help people. IMO, however, (and this is from a 3rd party viewpoint) the GOP and Democratic parties are fundamentally the same.

Trotsky once said of fascism that it represented the despair of their middle-classes, and I think that is now true of Santorum.

[Carolina.Alex]

Somebody tell me I'm hallucinating and that I didn't just hear Santorum say during the debate just now that children being born out of wedlock is a bigger issue than balancing the budget..

[David87]

Balancing the budget really isn't that big of an issue...but yes he was wrong ins aying that


He also said abstinence education works lol.....I can't get over that one

Balancing the budget is the biggest issue. Our current model is completely unsustainable and is causing the steady devaluation of our currency.
