Santorum: WI Protesters Are 'Acting Like Their Drug Is Being Taken Away'

[RamboLiberal]

Former Pennsylvania Senator and potential 2012 presidential candidate Rick Santorum doesn't have a very high opinion of the union workers protesting in Wisconsin. "They are acting like their drug is being taken away from them," Santorum told Republicans in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Stephen Largen of the Spartanburg Herald-Journal reports that Santorum, speaking to a group of about 60 people on Monday night, also criticized entitlement programs and health care reform: "What these folks are in Washington is no better than a drug dealer," he said, adding: "They give you a subtle narcotic to make you feel better as you do worse."

[derby378]

3. Is Santorum speaking from personal experience?

Does he need a couple of those little pills with smiley faces on them?

[socialist_n_TN]

4. And another idiot heard from...........

So Rick would you try to outlaw collective bargaining also?

[ck4829]

5. "Crazy protesters are acting like groceries and medicine is soooo important! Crazy!"

[JVS]

18. "We need wages to live!" "How can you live with such an addiction? Let us help!"

[Tx4obama]

6. Wow. Santorum is channeling Gaddafi's "drug" speech. n/t

[calimary]

7. Fuck You santorum.

[inademv]

[madinmaryland]

12. madinmaryland: Santorum is 'Acting Like His Dog Is Being Taken Away'

STFU man-on-dog!

[Enrique]

13. ok, we'll put Santorum down as anti-Medicare and Social Security

not concerned about their future solvency, but AGAINST the existence of the programs. They are harmful drugs, they are bad for people. A president Santorum will END Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, etc.

[corpseratemedia]

14. oh how so grand and imperialist of him

he needs a throne.


Republicans HATE policemen, firemen and teachers. They equate them with junkies.

[Raine]

15. No, it's him and his ilk that are addicts

they're addicted to money/greed. They have to have money that belongs to others because they feel they're "intitled" to it.

[gratuitous]

16. Inconceivable!

Can you imagine someone insisting on their contractual rights? It's just unheard-of in Santorum World. Why, it's a "subtle narcotic" to get the pay and benefits you negotiated for. You just "feel better" because you're getting paid, and accruing vacation and sick time, and receiving your other negotiated benefits, but Ricky says you're actually doing worse!

Hard to argue with that kind of "logic."

[JVS]

17. Working people are addicted to wages the way that republicans are addicted to fetuses.

[delunapark]

19. Hey Rick

F.O.A.D.

[fascisthunter]

21. funny, because that's exactly what Republicans are doing right now

you folks are one trick ponies.... accuse others of doing exactly what you are doing. Hell, you accuse folks of being communists if you don't get tax cuts for your masters. Go eat an embryo you freak.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Says the guy who bilked his home town out of tens of thousands of dollars ...

... of homeschooling "credits" for his children who didn't live in the district being bilked.

Says the guy who, along with his wife, sued a chiropractor for pain, suffering and loss of ability "to carry laundry" and "help out on the campaign trail." The couple received an award of 350k (out of a requested 500k) even while championing tort reform and a 250k limit on claims.

Fuck him.

[PA Democrat]

24. +1000

He is scum.

[Ilsa]

27. It amazes me that his constituents don't realize how corrupt he is. nt

[JVS]

35. His wife's home town.

[originalpckelly]

23. What a shitty thing to say Santorum, but you'd be the expert at that, now wouldn't you?

:P

[BanzaiBonnie]

25. Name-calling and insults

Don't have anything substantive to say? Call names and insult your enemy.

[Brother Buzz]

26. Hey Ricky, how's that Google® monkey on your back working out for you

Lil' Ricky strikes again!

[mb7588a]

31. Yeah, democracy is an addictive drug, isn't it? nt.

[applegrove]

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. Yeah, yeah, this we are on drugs

[deacon]

34. Rick all women should be chained to the kitchen table Santorum needs his drugs taken away. n/t
