FORMER SENATOR LEAVING “OPTIONS ON THE TABLE” FOR 2016

Somewhere, God is vexed …

Seriously … he’s got evangelical panderer and fiscal liberal Mike Huckabee on hold on one line, and now Rick Santorum is beeping in?

Decisions, decisions …

The sweater-vested former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania – part of the great GOP fiscal betrayal of the previous decade – is strongly hinting at another presidential run in 2016.

You know … since “Republicans” have nothing better to offer the electorate than sanctimonious recyclables slavishly devoted to big government (all rhetoric to the contrary, naturally).

“I want to stay involved in the mix,” Santorum told Fox News. “I’m certainly concerned about this election upcoming, and have left my options on the table for 2016. And if you’re going to leave your options on the table you’ve got to get around and see people.”

Great … that means early voting South Carolina should expect to see a nauseating amount of this over-the-top moralizer in the coming months and years.

How exciting!

Santorum – who lost to fellow establishment “Republican” Mitt Romney in the 2012 race – is one of the leading critics of the emerging fiscally conservative, socially libertarian wing of the GOP. In fact he’s downright hostile to elected officials who are championing this ideology – and is currently spearheading a movement (along with social conservatives like Huckabee and so-called “neo-conservatives” like U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham) to boot them from the party.

“The Republican Party isn’t going to change,” Santorum infamously said last spring. “If we do change, we’ll be the Whig Party. We’re not the Libertarian Party, we’re the Republican Party.”

Yeah … like we said at the time, “good luck with all that.”

Anyway, here’s the clip of Santorum signaling his 2016 interest …

Ah, yes indeed it’s fun time …

You know that stereotype of the GOP being nothing more than a bunch of judgmental white moralizers that are dickish hypocrites, also happening to have money they didn’t really earn?

Santorum isn’t helping to dismiss that stereotype any time soon.

rick santorum makes a lot of money. a LOT of money. more than me or you or any commenters, quite possibly more than all of us together. and for doing almost nothing. and that’s the point. he is a fantastic success. i wish he were dead, but he’s a success.

Chill the fuck out. Go take your Xanax or smoke a little weed, OK? This is still the United States of America, anyone that wants to run for president can, all they need to do is pay their filing fees and get on the ballots in the states. With that said, Santorum, Huckabee and the other ultra-social conservative types hurt the brand and lead us down the road to Obama, Hillary and worse. Unless you want to be staring down 40 to 50 years of liberal democrat rule which will likely be the demise of the country you need to suck it up butter cup and embrace the new face the republican party needs. That new face is the Libertarian wing of the party, it’s the only chance we have to stop the social/fiscal/Marxist liberals from taking over the country for the long hall.

This all makes sense unless you are an Apocalyptic Evangelical in which case you are intentionally supporting idiots that will run the country in the ground in some misguided notion of bring the end time prophecy to fruition.

Your ability to read and comprehend are sorely lacking. The part of the party that is going to save us from 40 years of European Socialism is the Ron/Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Tim Scott etc. Boehner, Huckabee, McConnell, Graham, McCain and Santorum all need to head quickly to pasture. Obama won because no one is trying to sell the brand correctly. Romney is a smart guy, he’s very successful, he’s a great business man and he has the personality of a used car salesman cross bread with a corporate raider. You can’t sell that to independents, you can’t sell it to minorities and you can sell it to women voters. If you want to win you have to be able to market your brand to the 30% give or take that are the swing vote, and you have to be able to sell it in Ohio, Florida, Northern Virginia, and The Research Tri-Angle / Charlotte North Carolina. You cannot win these areas with a theocratic social agenda. They won’t buy it. If you want to win you are going to have to compromise on gay marriage, birth control access, and other parts of the social agenda.

I’d rather keep my 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendment rights and give up the theocratic social agenda that doesn’t affect me personally in any manner. Obamacare is a farce and a wealth redistribution program, it needs to end. We need to elect people that are going to end it on day one. That has to be the focus for now, restore the constitution for everyone, end Obamacare and keep the country from going bankrupt. We have to sell the brand in order to elect people. Santorum can’t sell the brand, he damages the brand just by participating. I’m willing to compromise on everything else in order to accomplish the above three points.

GrandTango February 19, 2014 at 3:35 pm

Compromising on all those Liberal, Liberal-Tarian ideals is EXACTLY why the GOP is in trouble.

Republicans who stand up and tell you leftwingers to kiss their @$$ (see 2010 mid-terms) will win and WIN BIG…

Remember: McCain is yours…so is Romney. They are bigtime compromisers…Bush ran as a Conservative…and got into BIG trouble when he compromised Conservative principles…

What you propose is what the Ds are begging the GOP to do…it’s the only way democrats have a chance, after you’ve proven to be a TOTAL failure…Republicans compromising weakens the party…

Rick Santorum’s wife said in an interview that their decision to bring their dead baby son to their kids wasn’t “some crazy thing” and that it was a personal way to cope with his death.

In an interview with CBS News’s Jan Crawford, Karen Santorum opened up about the criticism she and her husband faced for taking their son, Gabriel, home after he died shortly after being born at 20 weeks gestation. The Santorums have been criticized by some for letting their children hold the dead baby; in the interview, Santorum said that “no one can tell me how to grieve.”

“We brought Gabriel home from the hospital to have a funeral mass and to bury him. And so they twist it and make it sound like it was some crazy thing,” she said in the segment set to be shown Tuesday. “We brought him home from the hospital to introduce him to our kids and place him, it was for the funeral mass and the burial. And what is so sad to me Jan is that no one can tell me how to grieve, and I’m not going to tell anyone else how to grieve. It’s not right.”

Santorum also said in the interview that the press tries to “corner” her husband on social issues.

“You know, every aspect of this race, any issue out there, he’s brilliant,” she said.
