Santorum just keeps 'em coming...
 

Santorum: ‘I would overturn’ any Supreme Court ruling same-sex marriage legal | The Raw Story

I don't think this guy understands how our checks and balances work...

Perhaps he should look up the term "amendment".

He's weak sauce...not even a real blip on the radar.

I concluded he was an idiot about five minutes into the first presidential debate I watched. If it came down to him vs Barry, I think I'd go third party.

He's the current darling of the conservative right. I think most of America will see him as a nutjob though, especially once the dems put him through the media wringer.

And how does a President overturn a Supreme Court ruling? Ricky is letting us all know that if he wins he will turn America into Iran or Saudi Arabia. Enjoy living in a religious dictatorship? Vote Santorum.

Yeah, I realize that doing the right thing drives you libs crazy.

Be careful with defending " just do the right thing". The PROCESS is important. Even "doing the right thing" must be done in the right way, following all the right steps. Otherwise, when the President demands that he be empowered to "do the right thing" ( as he sees it) you have lost the argument to stop him.

Precisely. The process as outlined in COTUS does not empower the executive to overturn decisions rendered by judicial. Him stating that he would overturn the decision means he either does not know how our system of government works (hopefully this is the case) or he wants to change how it works (far more sinister)

Either way, he just continues to show how far out on the lunatic fringe he really is. and yet people keep voting for him in the caucuses.... inconceivable...

I just hope that he and Romney and The Newtster pound each other down and leave the door open for Paul.

Santo is actually leading in the most recent PPL poll...

Not that polls mean a damn thing, but it is fascinating to watch as the repubs flounder

The "conservatives" and the far religious right will lose the election for the Republican party. It's too bad they cannot come up with a centrist candidate.

Determining constitutionality of amendments is "not the role of the judiciary". WTF?
Slept through civics I'll betcha.

He has a BA in Political Science so ignorance can't really be his excuse.

Perhaps he slept through a class or two .... or three ... or..

Looks like his real problem with same sex marriage is that there's either no women to be forced to stay at home, or two women who have to stay at home so there's no wage earner:

Santorum seems to be obsessed with vaginal and anal law.

I am sure Santorum knows how the Constitution works. What he is better on is that the average Republican voter does not.

Also every Republican I have talked to keeps telling me we need a 'strong' leader who will tackle problems head-on. They also fear any court system since it can overrule their Deal Leader.

Santorum is playing to the crowd. The problem with this is that this crowd is getting smaller everyday and only represents about 30% of the US as it is.

I just might vote for him in the Primary. Then, in November, when Obama wins by about 95% of the vote, this country can start moving forward again.

If Obama wins re-election, I think 30% of the population's heads will explode.

Because he would be Dictator Santorum acting as God's right hand man.

If wishes were fishes the sea would be full:D

Right now with what is being offered in the Republican party I am thinking Obama's re-election is a slam dunk; he does not need to do a thing.

Gotta wonder if the dems have been contributing to the political coffers of Newty and Sanatorium... ;)

It is discouraging to see such polarizing, extreme nitwits garner as much support as they seem to do. Where are all the statesmen and reasonable, rational political candidates? I know a lot of fairly well-educated people who support extremists on both the left and the right end of the political spectrum. Most of the political candidates in recent memory seem to be almost cartoonish they are so extreme.
We need serious-minded, reasonable, rational people in positions of power, but they seem to be in particularly short supply these days.

Seems like you may be describing Barack Obama...;)

Nah, Romney's got the line on that angle - with a title well above dictator:

Mitt done been groomed for the position most all his life.

But no, really - it's just the dang aa-rabs what be scary.

don't forget the beasts...

Anyone see what lives at www.santorum.com ???:eek::eek:

Guy missed the boat by not getting that url when it was available...

Well, Mitt Romney got the nod from Donald Trump, but Rick Santorum has gotten the endorsement of Metallica/Megadeath's guitarist, Dave Mustaine!

The Daily Beast

I concluded that about 5 years ago, while he was still a Senator, watching him being interviewed on C-SPAN.

Definitely agree with the 3rd party sentiment.

Must be BIG bunch of lib's scared of him since they are throwing rocks at him before even shows any hope of being nominated! Given the pathetic state of th economy under B.O. I suppose attacking the opposition and stirring up class warfare is obviously their strategy.

Larry, in case you haven't noticed, it's not the Democrats that are afraid of Santorum, Paul or Newt . . . it's the GOP. I suspect that you know that too. The GOP PACs are spending money like no tomorrow against each other.

Most people I talk to on this side of the pond tend to favor Mitt.

The uptick in Santorum's popularity is a godsend to the incumbent. It means that the nasty primary race goes on that much longer and each attack ad that is shot at each other till the summer GOP convention is just another script that the Obama campaign can use in the future, as if there wasn't enough on the GOP "blooper reel" to make the necessary points.

...instead of saving it for the general election...so sweet...

No doubt those nasty liberals are just sitting back watching the righties dig up mountains of dirt on each other...which will be used by the libs to derail the battered, bloodied and weakened "victor" come Fall.

Another four years of hopey changey...suck it up, boys...

santorum is such a gift. such ignorance could never be imagined. how, exactly, does a president "overturn" a supreme court decision? even if he had an amendment passed by two thirds of the states, the supreme court could overturn it on constitutional grounds. (hey, even fdr tried to change the supreme court, by "packing" it. he failed.)

He's from my home state, and we're all very proud of him here...well, except for those folks who threw him out of office last time he ran for re-election to the U.S. Senate.

In that election, Santorum lost by over 700,000 votes...:D

What happened between his last election and failed re-election to cause such a turn of fortune?

Wiki actually has a very decent summary of the 2006 re-election campaign:

Rick Santorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interesting that the 2006 campaign brought up those 'radical feminists' comments in his book. Last week he said he did not remember those comments to Stephanopolis and then blamed his wife for writing them. Not very likely you'd forget those comments after that failed campaign.

Barry Goldwater for President 1964:
 

Right wing nutjobs: "In your heart you know he's right."

Everyone else: "In your guts you know he's nuts".

Circus clowns climbing out of a very small car makes the closest resembliance to me about the political party tour,each one has their own dog and pony show then climbs back in till the next performance.

He's always been Pat Robertson's boy.

The fun part is no matter who wins the nomination the others that ran for it will be buddy buddy with them after this, act as though they were the best of friends, and back them all of the way......PUKE!!!! Such a ship of fools. I wish Cheney would take all 3 of them hunting.

we don't need a Mormon cult member,who believes they have to buy a whole county,for flying saucers,and Zion to land.
I was a Mormon I know whats what.

It just goes to show you that people in government do not know how our government works OR he is throwing out such a strong statement to win the votes of people that do not know how our government works. Either way he is a nut job from a similar mold asJoycelyn Elders (safer bullets and safer guns) :mgwhore2:

Compared to what other religions, old or new, believe, what do you find the most disturbing?

Next, has it been shown that the candidate is either a church elder or official in the church or is he merely a member, as are all the other candidates with their respective religious beliefs?

Let's see... alienated the female vote, check. Gay vote, check. Who are we missing...

Oh Yeah!!! The Hispanics!! quick, come up with a way to piss them off too...

Santorum doubles down on English in Puerto Rico idea - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

And in Puerto Rido n less.
 

from the news article,


Referring to Puerto Rican students, he said, "We're not doing them any favors" by failing to teach them English. "The public schools in most areas don't teach English and provide bilingual education, and I think that is an issue that has to be resolved for Puerto Rico to move forward into full status," Santorum said.





^^^^^ Wow, the Fred Astaire of foot-in-mouth disease.

One of Santorum's supporters introducing him.

Dennis Terry Introduces Rick Santorum - YouTube

What a windbag.... where is the concept of religious freedom which was a cornerstone of this nation at it's founding?

Maybe he didn't get the memo that Santorum had already pissed off pretty much every other religion in America....
