Philly's all a-twitter about Santorum...no not THAT Santorum...

[PCIntern]

Since PA has only had one President, the pre-eminent James Buchanan, we
are just so excited about the prospect of Rick Santorum ascending to
the throne, that there are all kinds of articles in the papers about
his character and his credentials. You just have to go to Philly.com
to see articles such as The Santorum that America doesn't Know:

or Santorum's Strong showing: what does it mean?

Lemme tell you: when he was "our" Senator, he was about the most
despised politician in the Commonwealth in my lifetime who hadn't
murdered anyone publically, at least. Andrea Mitchell, formerly of
Philly, never ceases to mention that he lost his election as a two-term
incumbent in my state of Pennsyltucky by 17 percentage points. In this
state whose political personnel are determined by the counties
surrounding Philly that is worse than a landslide: it's an utter
repudiation of the man. My guess is that if Nixon had run again right
before his resignation, he'd have put up numbers like that here.
Outside of the cities, we are in many cases, Klan territory. But I
digress.

There are so many home-grown stories about this guy, so many quotes and
video, that Letterman or Stewart could change their formats to "All
Santorum All the Time" and not lose any chance of getting laughs from
the audience.

It IS, however, vaguely frightening that he's even MENTIONED, much less
a front-runner at least this morning. Those of us who spent 12 years
shaking our heads are getting the neck muscles in practice one more
time.

1. Let's get to vetting.

2. I've passionately DETESTED little ricky santorum ever since...

...he became the apparent rethug senate candidate in 1993. My only politicl regret about moving to Maine before 2006 was that my vote didn't contribute to kicking that little shit's ass out of the senate. I truly hope (probably with futility) that he is the nominee so he can be humiliated on a national level. He;s a little prick.

Are my feelings about him a bit too vague?

PEACE!

4. You need to stop equivocating and get to the point!

wishy-washy won't cut it here!

7. Lesson Learned

Just say how I feel about little ricky the little turd in the piss punch bowl!

PEACE!

[Aerows]

8. Tell us how you really feel!

I can't stand this jackass, either. He's a hypocrite of the highest order.

[MarianJack]

10. I despise HIM...

...more than george w moron, believe it or not.

BTW, my father"s animosity for tricky dickie made my disregard for those 2 walking turds look like admiration.

Love the Wonder Woman anatar!

PEACE!

3. thanks, was going to look for that article this morning

and just remember, those are just the highlights,

Rachel's segment on the connection between Ensign and Santorum also needs to be highlighted. I hadn't realized his involvement but it does make sense.

5. What scares me is that impossible pols

Have risen to high places before...need I mention that so-over B actor?

[PCIntern]

6. Yeah...years ago I posted a story which my mother of blessed memory

had told me about him. She knew him pretty well from his earliest acting days. no good news...

9. The more I think about it,

the more excited I become about Sanatorium becoming the "flavor of the week".

Not having a Democratic primary season has left the media focusing solely on the Repubs. We've seen every batshit crazy come before the class to explain themselves. Everyone one of them has shown to the people who are not in lockstep with them just how batshit crazy that segment of the Republican Party truely is.

Now that Rick Sanatorium is in front of the class, just think how long it'll take before the media (and the Romney flank) start throwing around his batshit crazy views on those wonderful "social conservative values" that the Fundamentalist Right hold so dear. Michele Bachman's views are batshit crazy, but because she's been on tv for so long, I've dismissed her so long ago that it's not even relevant anymore. We're getting nice little snippets of Sanatorium's even batshit crazier views now that Iowa is over.

Personally, I'd like to thank the Iowa GOP for their support of Rick Santorium. He'll be the best thing for Democrats heading into the campaign season.
