1. Just when you least expect them

[Arkansas Granny]

2. I can't believe it. I agree with Santorum!!!

At least with that statement, anyway.

[DavidL]

7. me, too! Truth from the mouth of an idiot!

He cannot be correct more than twice a day, like a stopped clock!

[BarackTheVote]

3. The Republican Party

We admit it: we're uneducated and ignorant! Vote for us!

[Heather MC]

17. One of the Sponsors of that Event is Liberty University

someone should tell Santorum, they do have a few colleges and universities on their side.
And as far as the Smart people wanting to "tell you what to do" how can he get that backwards
It's them trying to run individuals and take away their personal freedoms, and force the Government to poke around in a women's vagina, tell people who they can and cannot love. Deciding which God you MUST whorship. Oh and Take away our God given right to porn ha ha ha
what is wrong with these people

[lumpy]

4. Rick, we have our families and churches. What's the problem?

What do you fear ?

[Gman]

5. Well, duh!

[formercia]

6. Rick is proof of that

8. You KNOW things are bad when you have to put disclaimers like "Not from The Onion" upfront

The Republican Party has become so openly ridiculous (they have been ridiculous for decades already) that people have to prefix headlines with "Not From The Onion".

Lines like this use to be seen as satirical from a spoof publication.
But now we can't tell satire from real events.

The Daily Show writers had an EASY job during the Bush Administration because that administration would do so many ridiculous things in real life that all the writers really had to do was run the tape & make funny reactions in response.
You didn't have to reach for laughs. They were already there.

I want this party to DIE.
I have wanted it to die since I was a little boy.
There are consequences for taking in a bunch of bigots to get votes.
The Republican Party sealed its fate after 1964 & it deserves to die.

People like this should NEVER be in charge of affecting policy.
The best folks like this should do is be the crazy neighbor down the street talking this madness in their own household.
You are allowed to be stupid in your house.
You are NOT allowed to be stupid when you are in a position to significantly affect everyone's lives.

9. Jesus Speak. RW religionists believe being obedient, humble and simple is loved by God.

Those who say differently are seen as arrogant, cruel, full of themselves, immoral harpies. That's why they truly hate Democrats for mocking them.

I've noted that Obama, obviously one who believes in America than half of us put together, and in valuing all people, is something they can't bear to see or hear. He radiates the qualities they claim for themselves while acting like an adult, when they act like spoilt brats.

For them, being dumb is being childlike. as Jesus said that one had to be to enter the kingdom of heaven. So they do a Monty Python routine of crossing their fingers in front of their eyes like a crucifix to block the sight of the Sons and Daughters of Satan, the Demon Rats.

I'm done with them playing this game with them.

10. Yah really have to wonder with this one don't yah?!

[nuxvomica]

12. Did you notice how he slipped in "enforced"?

He said without church and family, "there is no basic values in America, enforced." This after saying of the "elite, smart" people: "They believe they should have the power to tell you what to do."
Funny how I don't see the media or academia telling me what to do so much but I see an awful lot of attempted "enforcement" by religious types of their "values".

[xocet]

13. No - I did not. Excellent observation! Beyond that even....

After watching the video again, I noticed that the "Liberty University" logo is there in the background listing of sponsors. Thus, to some extent, his speech implies that "Liberty University" is a university in name only.

[Civilization2]

16. It really takes a "special" type of mentality to spout this type of anti-intellectual dogm

Exactly!

We just CAN'T have "smart" people "telling us what to do" but we NEED to ENFORCE our religious ideological "values" on everyone around us,. It really takes a "special" type of mentality to spout this type of anti-intellectual dogmatic stupidity. Just WOW!

[CheapShotArtist]

14. KEEPING IT STUPID 2012, VOTE GOP!

[Iris]

15. And, omg did they cheer!

They LOVED it!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. So,...Church and family is for idiots. ...got it...

[Third Doctor]

19. Wow

I've known this for a while.
