I'm kinda stunned myself.
He's got no chance against Obama so it must purely be a protest vote against Romney.

If Santorum actually get the nomination I'm staying the fuck home.
And I NEVER skip elections.

I was going to post a bit where he rambles on about how America is at war with Satan and yadda yadda but then I realized that I can't search for santorum in youtube and find anything that isn't nuts.

I found this Santorum button the other day and almost spit my coffee out :lol:

Santorum is a joke..

Googling his name always reassured me that this guy won't go far.

What scares me is that there are actually so many people in society who support him? Ick. Honestly, if he ever got elected, it would be like 100000 steps backward for this country in the sense of rights and liberty.

It's a sign of how politics is polarizing society. Clinton didn't have a whole lot of adversity during his tenure so people didn't get too bent about anything while things were good. 9/11 and a bad economy started about six years of Bush bashing. Right or wrong that bent a lot of people out of shape and against each other...to the point that any savy speaking guy with about zero experience in office could get elected on a "I'm not Bush" platform.

So now we see a big swing from right to left, but along with it a LOT of bent feelings and rhetoric while the economy still stinks. Tea party, occupy, religious fanatic, socialist, blah, blah. When two sides get really pissed off, they dig in deep and go for the extreme. Not just for what they think they believe in, but to stick it hard at the other side.

People think Santorum is such an extremist and can't believe how he gets support? Well you're finding out how a lot of people felt about Obama leading up to his election, just the opposite perspective. It doesn't make it right, it just shows how our political structure is failing us. Until voters truly get motivated under a sense of real urgency to change things, we'll just keep going through the downward spiral. Divided we fall...it's only a matter of time.

Are you saying Obama is as far left, as Santorum is right? Or that their rhetoric is in some way equivalent on opposite sides?

I think he's saying that people's desire for change swings to extremes. We tried the liberal schtick and that kind of fucked us in the ass, so let's "return to christian values"...

Which of course means restricting women's rights, shoving god in your face (the christian one, and no other), etc...

Don't blame the "slut"(as Rush calls them), blame her boss. It's his fault she got the contraceptives in the first place.

Another one of the right's myths. 4 years ago, Crosscheck would have told you that Obama was "the most liberal member of the senate". I laughed at that. I'd have to say I was right in that case.

I think there's a false equivalency there.

The far right was against Obama because he was a black, socialist, muslim from Kenya who wanted to take all their money and guns while outlawing Christianity. Aside from him being black, it was all false.

The far left is against Santorum because he wants to ignore the separation of church and state, take away rights from women, and run the country on evangelist Christian values. This is all true.

The two situations are completely different.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

True, the Right felt that Obama was a terrible, 2nd amendment squashing, Islam pushing, terrorist supporter from Kenya but we know that Santorum is what he is because he told us so. Big difference. Santorum doesn't hide the fact that he wants to inject a theocratic flavor to our democracy and make policy decisions according to how he interprets an archaic religious text. That's not the left digging deep to slander the guy and scare people, it's a fact.

im not gonna touch most of this, just wan to mention that Santorum wants to run the country on Roman Catholic values, not Evangelical protestant ones.
