Washington (CNN) - Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania took his first official step toward running for president Wednesday, announcing the formation of a presidential exploratory committee.

"In 2008 Americans wanted a president who they could believe in, but after two years they realized that what they needed is a president who believes in them," Santorum said in a statement. "It's time for America to be America again - an America that rewards innovation and hard work, that stands by our allies instead of our enemies, that protects even the most vulnerable of our society, and an America that says every life is to be cherished. That is what I believe in, and that's why I'm taking this next step in a possible run for president."

The filing with the IRS allows him to raise federal political contributions while he explores an official run for the White House in 2012, but his move stopped short of filing with the Federal Election Committee.

[Ilsa]

7. Couldn't vote for someone (Santorum) whose name means a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter. nt

[Journeyman]

8. Well, anytime there's an "exploratory," you get "santorum" . . .

It's easily cleaned up. Can't imagine why the former Senator would need the help of a committee.

[tonekat]

9. I think its a matter of volume

He spews lots of santorum....

[Teaser]

10. An exploratory committee to probe public opinion.

frothy.

[onehandle]

11. Lotsa luck. nt

[alp227]

12. provides good campaign ad material

such as:
- "In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be...If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.
- Leeching Penn Hills, Penn. taxpayers' money by enrolling his kids in a charter school while living far far away.
- Claiming falsely that there were WMDs in Iraq.

13. Hey santorum..I just polled two of my neighbors. They both said you

were crazy as a fucking pet coon.. That makes my unscientific
poll 100% against you.

[Marie Marie]

14. Getting pissed on by that little dog was obviously a sign from God that he should run.

We all know that every Republican running has received that same message. God needs them and remember: dog spelled backwards is God.

[RBInMaine]

15. Best news I've heard all day. Another GOP fucking looney in the ring. Collection of whackos.

[Frank Cannon]

25. It's like every Batman villain in Arkham Asylum broke out...

and started running for President.

[jwirr]

16. Oh, goody - another crazy. They are going to have a few hundred

people in their primary.

[Mz Pip]

17. Another climbs out of the clown car.

Is there no end to the GOP Clown Car capcity? Or are they playing some silly game, like trying to see how many people can be squeezed into a phone booth?

Of course, it is the GOP so the possiblities for clowns is pretty much endless.

And as a person who does believe in a two party system, I find this particularly sad.

[Golden Raisin]

23. And yet we live in

a country where most of those clowns have managed to be elected as Governors, Senators, Representatives, etc. Sarah Palin actually made it as far as being a Vice Presidential candidate. Personally I find all of this shocking, scary and horrifying rather than amusing.

[RKP5637]

26. It is!!! Education, knowledge, rationality, fairness and wisdom count for little, but be a

crazy and it gets you top billing. I attribute a lot of it to MSM airing the outrageous over and over to increase viewership on their tabloid shows they pass off for journalism.

[tabasco]

27. You got that right.

Mind boggling.

[Lugnut]

18. Yee haw!

The three ring circus is about to add another clown!

[Canuckistanian]

19. "Man on dog" Santorum?

Hide your puppies.....

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

20. a Babyface Santorum nomination would be great

biggest Democratic landslide since 1964, easily

[left on green only]

21. Hear! Hear!

"An Exploratory committee" Isn't that kind of like a probe? Heavens knows, we all have our probes to bear! And now thanks to santorum, probes can be a delightful thing. The only thing that I fail to understand is on what planet that self-aggrandizing POS thinks that anyone would possibly be interested in his becoming a candidate for public office?

[deacon]

22. Another decoy. n/t

24. santorum. . .hmmm. . .think I'll use "the Google" to find out more. . .
