2016 HOPEFUL MEETS WITH PALMETTO STATE’S TOP POLITICAL CONSULTANT
Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum’s recent visit to early-voting South Carolina wasn’t just about burnishing his credentials as a “neoconservative” warmonger …
“We haven’t stood by our promises and when we show weakness, bullies take advantage of it,” Santorum said during a speech at The Citadel.
Really? Last time we checked it was the U.S. Armed Forces acting as the bully … with borrowed money.
Anyway the big government “Republican” – who finished second in the 2012 GOP presidential primary to fellow fiscal liberal Mitt Romney – took a very high-level political meeting during his Palmetto State visit.
According to our sources, Santorum met with South Carolina powerbroker Richard Quinn – a longtime advisor to U.S. Sen. John McCain (who won the 2008 “First in the South” presidential primary).
We’re told Santorum and Quinn discussed early polling related to the 2016 primary – as well as the possibility of entering into some sort of consulting relationship. No commitments were made, but a second meeting was reportedly scheduled.
Hmmmm …
As we’ve noted on numerous previous occasions, Santorum 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 Mike Huckabee and fellow “neoconservatives” 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.”
Good luck winning another national election with that attitude, dude …
Santorum’s nonexistent commitment to taxpayers coupled with his sanctimonious, discriminatory world view represents everything that’s wrong with the GOP.
If he does run in 2016, we look forward to roasting him at every turn …

No way the Quinns go with a Santorum. Like them or not, they will at least have a real contender to work with in the PPPs.
Based on GOP history, Santorum is the frontrunner for 2016.
Well we know Mitt is not in the picture, unless the party is stupid enough, given his plan to turn amerika around, wanting him as a VP. I agree with your pick, now the other fun, Pailin, Nikki, or another female?
The Republican Party has done some really stupid stuff over the last couple few cycles. You are correct in seeing no reason for this to change anytime soon.
Quinn is not going to turn any paying customers away.
When is the last time Santorum has had a paying job doing something constructive? I mean, he’s been running, quite unsuccessfully I may add, for office for the last twenty or so years. He’s the male equivalent of Sarah Palin, only slightly less annoying.
southmauldin – I agree with everything you said with the exception of “slightly less annoying” – “equally annoying” would have me in total agreement.
Well Sarah “sharpest rubber ball in the knife drawer” Palin served less than 24 months before she quit and the poor voters got stuck with Mr Frothy for 12 years if memory served..guess Alaskans just lucked out?
Like Obama? The muslim is getting paid toooo destroy the country!! The male equivalent of Asmodeus, a female anti-Christ.
The black man won twice! Nya Nya Nya…
you get it your way
I get it my way
so peace punch captain crunch
brick wall waterfall boy you think you know it all
but I do so poof with the attitude
see my? pinky see my thumb
boosha boosha bang bang freeze!
He should market the foetus game.. everyone has to hold a miscarried foetus… like the hot potato game, only the one holding it when the music stops has to bury it.
…oh… that would be disgusting…
….sorry everyone… that should have been a private thought.
I’d modify the game slightly for more enjoyment. Everyone likes creamy potato soup, right?
to make them harder to hold?
No silly, what do you with the the hot potato after you’re done playing the game?
bury it?
eat it?
…ok… ok.. I admit it.. I’ve never actually *played* hot potato!
You make creamy potato soup with it….
so… how… um…
Yea…you know…
No! Grab a bullhorn and shout it from the parapets! Put it on a billboard!
One man’s disgust is another man’s highest ideals, I guess.
Hey… since you’re here, and all.. the numeric keypad on my keyboard won’t do the shifted functions.. like page up/down home/end….. did you do something to it while I was out at the park getting the potatoes we planted?
Yeah: Forcing FREEDOM on people, instead of Brutal Murders on them, from hateful dicators….is Bullying…???…And thwarting evil before it grows, is picking on despots in the minds of the ignorant…
FITS, I’d love to Kick your America-Hating @$$ to one of the Godless countries you so admire…and let you run your F*#king mouth about them, like you do here..
Your attacks on the importation of freedom, are why your Dumb@$$ cult-nut-party can only get 4% of the vote..
And it’s sad there are 4% in the population who are kook-jobs, mindless-blind followers and conspiracy-mongers, like you and that freak-show, RonPaul…
I’m just glad Tom Davis gets his @$$ Bashed (politically) every time he starts moving away from Freedom, to perpetuate your idiot, liberal-tarian theology…
Forcing FREEDOM on people…
All you need to know, right there.
It was meant sacastically you ignorant F*©#….when we free those countries…they vote for freedom in droves…
Iraq, for instance… droves.
love ya max, not in a faggot tango way.
The feeling is mutual… uh.. .and not in that TBG/Shifty Henry sense, either…
[nonchalantly striking the most masculine pose I can achieve]
*deer in headlights look*
Aw… look, a cute woodlands creature holding up a “Ron Paul for President” sign…
…bumpbump…bumpbump…screeeechhh…. rrrrrummmmmm… bumpbump…bumpbump..
Oh, shit! That’s funny as hell…
Master, through your example, I humbly ascend the stairway to the purity of stunned eloquence.
Hold on a minute now – take a number – I already asked for his hand in marriage and he hit me with that tired old “the wife might not like it” excuse . . .
I checked with her to make sure…
Yet 25 young African Americans can be murdered in a weekend in Chicago, where your lord-god has his disciple…and not a F*#king word from you Failed B*$*@rds……
There are Bad people everywhere…You leftwing Fools, just want the most Evil Controlling the political systems, while you HATE freedom and morality, because it does not Feed your Greed….

I thought this was about all the good will we got by forcing foreign horses heads under the freedom water.
Godamn, Tango! I thought you found work today. I should have known you were just shaving bunions…
You fail to realize that the U.S. can’t change our image as a peacekeepper when Graham and McCain want to fight another war with the flavor of the week.
Even the Republicans at Faux News know they’re just jerking on Obama’s chain… uh… unfortunate image.
Are you this unpleasant in real life, or is it an internet only sort of thing?
Why were we in Iraq? They did have some WMD’s, but never attacked the US.
It was meant sacastically…
Mea culpa.
Sometimes TBG doesn’t “get” sacasm.
I Keed, I Keed
I’m just making little jokes,
I joke with you,
Little dog, Little jokes,
I Keed, I Keed,
I’m just making little jokes,
and you’re a talented writer too.
We’re not freeing them though. We’re telling them what to do, and we only offer support to those that follow every one of our commands. It’s American imperialism at its finest.
It’s hard to take you seriously when insults and personal attacks are all you have to fall back on. We’re not liberating these other countries, we’re forcing them to do as we say and that is why they do no like us.
I can tell you’re a Santorum lovin’ man, Tango! You dumbass Republicans keep running religious nutjobs…good luck with that. No fucking wonder Obama was reelected. I blame you…
If Santorum becomes the GOP candidate, I hope you mouth-breathers can get used to saying “President Clinton” all over again.
Unless Hillary strokes out, She will be the next prez.
Ever heard of Vietnam? How about Nazis? So you and the Republicans want to control the world and all it’s resources for your benefit? A mention to God spews from your mouth, why not let people control their own land where they were born? Not good enough, for your transplanted Yankee ass? You want to call it liberal, I call it freedom, the USA is run by liberals, moron.

Damn.If you love abortion,support the male penis in the male anus 24/7 with a marriage license toooo ‘boot’ just say it, FitsNews.
This playing victim game of being fiscally conservative YET socially liberal is a joke! Nobody is trying tooooo ‘boot’ anybody from the ‘party’.
You apparently just don’t have the guts toooo leave it? Why is that?
FITS’ ideology is as much a failure as Obama’s has PROVEN to be…
It just does not work..and eventually puts more democrats (see Failure) in office.
Both parties are corrupt. They’ve given us the TSA, the NSA, the Patriot Act and the NDAA among other things, and no one is really trying to replace or reign in any of these programs.
If only the Libertarians had the guts to run as Libertarians…
What do you mean? Either your R or D? Maybe T? Me, i have had enough of all of it. I vote P, that stands for people, not a party. I am biased, when it comes down to it. War all over the planet for Oil, money, land, bragging rights, is insane. If total world domination is the US’s goal, then let’s nuke’em now, everyone. What is the goal of the US? World domination- or it’s citizens?
Well, as former Sec. of State Madeleine Albright once said,whats the point of having this great military machine if we cant use it?A thought that seems to have the support of almost all Republicans (except for Rand Paul l and a few libertarian Republicans) and about 75% of the Democrats.Seems like you have your answer!
Nah, Rand Paul is a warmonger too. His dad was the peacenik, Rand is nothing more than an opportunist.
So they’re all warmongers. Got it..
If they ran as libertarians, how would you distinguish them from a star trek convention?
I wouldn’t exactly call Santorum a Libertarian. Libertarians are about freedom, choice, and those kind of good things. Santorum wants a theocracy, the exact opposite of those things.
Yes Rick Santorum is a “liberal”Fits uses that word like the John Birch Society used to use the word “Communist.” Anybody he doesnt like at any given time gets the moniker.Silly?Of course.
Fits don’t like Christians,does he? Why in the hell did Sanford hire him?
Why do we insist refering to Santorum as a former US Senator? How about this, “Rick Santorum, current Dairy Queen assistant manager, is seeking to revive his being chosen Vice President if he runs in the presidential primary surviving two out of the three first states with 5% of the vote pipe dream”.
Santorum is a moron, who has zero shot at ever winning another public office. Sadly though some republicans still like this idiot.
3 strikes and you are out Rick.
When a Dem wins the Whitehouse. you’re out. Well said.
For a number of reasons I wouldn’t support Santorum, this one takes the cake.
He tried to gut the National Weather Service, one of the few agencies of the Federal Government that works well, has great customer service and costs us very little. Sorry but we don’t need to pay inAccuWeather for our severe storm warning, hurricane warnings and access to weather RADAR, etc.

I recall that shameful piece of Santorum history, too! You are absolutely correct!
Rick (Frothy Mixture) Santorum is a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of inAccuweather and the Penn State Weather Mafia.
No thread about Rick Santorum would be complete without a definition of “Santorum”, courtesy of “The Urban Dictionary”.
santorum
1. That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.
2. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)
As his happy cries subsided, the sweet sticky santorum began dribbling from his distended asshole like melted mocha frappuccino. He told me that he loved me. It was only then that I realized the man I’d sodomized in a Pittsburgh bathouse was noe other than Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA). I felt dirty.
