FORMER U.S. SENATOR HAS EARNED A SECOND LOOK …
By TAYLOR BROWN || Trivia question of the day: Who are the only two people in history who won eleven states in the primary election, but didn’t get their party’s nomination? Answers: President Ronald Reagan and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
Yes, this is a pro-Santorum column. And with good reason.
Santorum has proven himself more than sufficient to warrant a full column … yet our founding editor completely neglected to do so.
I wonder why? Maybe it’s because he supports tin foil hat wearers with no national defense strategy candidates who can’t win.
Santorum, on the other hand, finished second in the 2012 GOP presidential primary. He’s also one of the most well-qualified GOP candidate – especially when it comes to national security and national defense. Santorum served for eight years on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.
Who, out of the other presidential hopefuls, boasts that kind of experience?
We live in a world in which ISIS is a growing problem – in which relations with China, the entire Middle East, and African countries are souring. It’s painfully obvious we need a president with foreign policy experience.
Santorum is also ready to hold his own with the likely Democratic nominee for president. Has anyone ever seen the Santorum-Hillary Clinton debate on the Senate floor? At least one of the possible presidential candidates knows his stuff and sticks to his guns … and doesn’t flip-flop on hugely important issues.
Santorum is one of the few potential candidates who has articulated the economic effects of open-border policies. He has, time and time again, hammered out the message that American workers are more important than foreign workers – something his would-be rival Ted Cruz seems to ignore.
Not only is Santorum a stand-up guy who has stuck by his guns – even when he knew it would cost him an election – he continues to stand by his values (one of the only people who have come out of Washington, D.C. who can say that). It’s awfully lonely out there on that branch (something those who voted against U.S. Speaker John Boehner earlier this month can vouch for).
At the end of the day, it matters not whether a candidate is conservative or moderate. What matters is whether the candidate can win. Santorum won eleven states (without the sort of financial backing the other GOP candidates had). Santorum appeals to the everyday U.S. citizen. He is relatable (something that plagued Romney during the 2012). He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth (like Jeb Bush). Santorum is a voice for the voiceless – a voice that got four million votes.
FOUR MILLION votes is a lot, especially when many Americans hadn’t heard of Santorum heading into the 2012 race.
The media (including founding editor of FITSNews) needs to stop ignoring Santorum, and give credit where credit is due.
I have yet to give my support to a potential candidate for 2016, but Santorum has caught my attention – and continues to hold it.
Taylor Brown is a 20-something Wofford College graduate who somehow got sucked into politics at an early age. She is easily won over with Rush’s fast food (obviously), wine, and spirited political arguments.

Sorry, but you’re a real dumbass.
“Sorry, but you’re a real dumbass. ”
Understatement of the year.
Y’all are all so sweet!! :)
Bless their hearts, Taylor. Thank you so much for sharing your spiritual,cultural and political opinions.
Santorum is a Christian, pro-life and has a beautiful, traditional ‘marriage’ family.That is why ya’ll Jesus Christ haters, abortion lovers and perverted marriage goons hate him
If he was an atheist or Muslim, performed abortions and in a queer/perverted marriage, you would love him.
I love him because he loves babies so much that he carries them around even when they are dead.
I love babies and he loves babies. He will get my vote because he loves all babies equally, both dead and alive.
Your reference to Santorum and his ‘unborn’ child that died is really sad.
I am praying for you.
I’m praying for you too. Let us pray together?
You get on your sajj?da and praise Allah with Obama tonight.
Me? Prayer is personal and private.
You don’t want to pray with me?
You hurt my feelings. I will pray that the Flying Spaghetti Monster will forgive you.
Maybe your day be blessed with yummy meatballs that contain no unborn fetuses.
Prayer is personal and private.
——-
So.. let’s say prayer is your dick – when you’re going to piss, do you go on public blogs and tell everyone about it so everyone knows you’re going to pull it out? Or is your dick more private than prayer?
I don’t think he appreciates dick analogies. It makes him insecure.
I did get a chuckle about him announcing his prayer for me, then refusing to do it with me because it’s “personal and private”.
Maybe he meant the “other” private to your point?
I think he needs to double down on the Clozaril.
Mild interaction with Depakote….
“Prayer is personal and private.”
Prayer can be communal and public.
How one chooses to grieve is personal and their choice to be public or private.
Acts 4:31And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
But offering to pray for someone shouldn’t be a backhanded put down.
Luke 18:10-14 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
But offering to pray for someone shouldn’t be a backhanded put down.

Paul begs to differ…
.Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation.
coals of fire?
Feed him;..give him drink.
coals of fire?
Literally: Feed him;..give him drink.
Figuratively; coals of fire.
By so doing
But offering to pray for someone shouldn’t be a backhanded put down.
This is Sandi/pogo/Flip/Farley/etc. we’re talking about here, such a piss poor representation of Christianity to begin with. I wouldn’t even humor the real religion of a troll.
Matthews 15:12 Then the disciples *came and *said to Him(Jesus), “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”
I chose “Bible Thumper”, not to attack others, but to I encourage tolerance. Some are going to be offended anyway. It’s hard not to respond with “passive aggression” which an offer to pray often is.
It is difficult to intellectually spar here when you are expected to play by different rules.
Good question. Is your dick more private than you bringing up your dead mother on this blog to gain sympathy?
I guess we all use our dicks in different ways, pussy.

Is that the result of prayerful meditation?
*now* do you see why I quote the part of the message I’m responding to?
*and*…?
that comment was made for the peanut gallery, not for you.
Nailed it!!
He was ‘born’ dead, and then, instead of going right to the morgue, he was driven home and passed around to the kids to play with.
Can’t respond to that one as your comment is so evil…what the fuck is wrong with you?
Nothing he said in the previous comment was untrue. What is evil about speaking the truth?
Is it the truth itself that’s evil?
What’s evil about it?
That’s just what he did… what the fuck is wrong with *you*?

What’s evil about it? You libruls peddling your sick disgusting facts, that’s what!
ALRIGHT!!! Smirks is clocked in and ready to fuck his employer for a full 8 hour shift!
Only in America!
Thank goodness you’re paid by Haley to be here, amirite?
No. How do you sleep at night fucking your employee out of money?
My guess it doesn’t bother you one damn bit.
says the guy who posts as a dozen different idiots, all of whom are laughing stocks.. How do you sleep at night..does your mom give you cookies or is the illegal child porn you watch every day to do ..”research”
you really need to stop looking at facts as evil. That is the root of your entire problem isnt it? or perhaps you like the idea of handling dead babies, what kind of sick fuck are you?
They also used it for third base…
What? Santorum talks about it too much to go around guilting people who bring it up. Its a crazy story. People who don’t know it should look it up so they know what we’re dealing with here.
Just when you think Santorum is over,his little brother,Taylor brings him up,again.

A 20-something supporting and idiot-something . . . .ain’t that something!
She needs to stick to fashion, burger joints and “my summer vacation.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH619vxtNdo
Wait a minute! I mean WAIT JUST A MINUTE! Isn’t she the girl who was talking to this guy and told him that she uses her flute to masturbate with? Somebody help me out on this…..
Yep. But that’s latter.
All we can do is hope that Taylor follows the same trajectory and spices things up a bit from the inane.
That girl in the movie reminds me of a woman -child who was included in our social circle. She never had a real boyfriend probably because we thought she was more than a little bit flaky, but we included her in most of our activities.
After trying for about two years to get her in bed she finally agreed. Only she spent a week telling everyone else we were going to do the deed. Then she told me I could have her in two weeks.
So the day finally arrived and it was still on.
She was house-sitting for a couple who were out of the country and she wanted to have sex in their bed the first time but she wanted to give me a blow job first. She started off very nicely and then it felt as though this must be what a butterfly would feel like! She was softer and softer on me with intermittent delays which only increased my anticipation. But then the pauses stopped — and she wasn’t doing anything. I rose up on my elbows to see what she was going to do. She wasn’t going to do anything because she fell asleep before finishing me..!!
lmao!
I hope that’s really not true for you.
Maybe a joke would have kept her awake?
Yes, that is a true story. Things became more interesting with her after that but that should be for another day. I guess because you posted that video set me off on her tonight. She was about 28 years old, inexperienced, and became a very reliable and available partner who was willing to learn but was never a clingy person.
She became ‘perfect’? lol…well then, it was worth it.
The worst thing I ever had happen to me was a blowjob from a girl that had a tongue like that of a cat…and I’m serious.
I actually ended it early, limped him to my dorm room(I was 19 or so at the time) and when I went into the bathroom I pulled my underwear out gingerly and saw blood….true story.
OUCH..!! I’m glad you survived that ordeal.
but that should be for another day.
——
LIKE THE GOT-DAMNED PLANE CRASH YOU PROMISED US????
Yes, but my attempts to record those final hours of terror are too unnerving for me right now…. but
maybe later. Anyway, there is a free T-34 for anyone who can find all the wreckage. I ditched somewhere on the edge of the Devil’s Triangle. I had no insurance ……
Why didn’t’ you report it?
Keeps the reed stiff.
Respect Rick Santorum? Bozo the clown has more gravitas and Curly of the Three Stooges had more wisdom. But I will admit that Rick is the silliest sweater-vest-wearing guy I know. Does that count?
The average GrandTango comment makes more sense than this…
Yeah, but Damned Tango is only a lampoon, not a real person… (right?)
On the other hand, at one point GrandTango was rooting for Santorum.
Are you sure he wasn’t just rooting Santorum?
(fyi, consult urban dictionary for both “rooting” and “Santorum” to unlock the beauty of said joke)
For God’s sake, I thought you were gone. You’re too dense to get the message.
Only FITS is denser it seems.
Taylor, one of the few positives I can say about you is that you sorta look like Eva Green..so you have that going for you.
You are so sweet, darling! I love Casino Royale:)
When are you going to write an article about REAL issues in America, like women’s equality and right to go topless??
Yes!
topical!
…like estrogen cream!
Liberals are the most dis-respectful, self-hating, hostile-to-decency people on earth…
To tell them to respect a Christian man because he is dignified and carries himself w/ integrity is like turning Democrat-Doctor Vermin Gosnell loose in a pre-natal unit…
The question is not “Do I Kill?…but how many innocents can I slaughter?
As a lesson to a young person who fancies herself as a non-liberal…you might better learn who these people are…and what they stand for..
Liberals are the lowest, most-hateful, knowingly corrupt, immoral and decadent cretins in America…trying to appeal to their honor..is like throwing napalm on the Towering Inferno in hopes of putting it out…It’s just not very realistic…
“At the end of the day, it matters not whether a candidate is conservative or moderate. What matters is whether the candidate can win.”
What world do you live in?
“FOUR MILLION votes is a lot, especially when many Americans hadn’t heard of Santorum heading into the 2012 race.”
It’s very clear from this statement you have no idea what you are talking about. Mr.Frothy was quite well known well before 2012.
Honey:
Only thing I can possibly post is:
“Bless Your Heart”
Because you sure as shit don’t know any better
Hey, you have to admit, it takes courage to go out there and shoot your mouth off anyway!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQjcJgHvkRg
No. All it takes is the narcissism of youth, from one of the generation that got awards for just showing up.
I think she makes a good point. He did well compared to the other candidates, but I think this year will offer a different field of better candidates and hopefully different strategies. I expect Santorum to highlight the differences between himself and other candidates on policy like he did before – which made him appear as angry.
I still think that there is a substantial amount of voters who vote according to how they feel and think and not so much based on issues. Romney beat him because of the perception that “he had the best chance of beating Obama”. Something that Santorum did not argue.
I think she makes a good point.
——-
Actually, the consensus seems to be two good points.
She really shines the headlights on the topic.
..keeps us abreast on tissue issues both home and abroad.
Nips all the right angles…
Some days it just gets better and better — you guys know I’m saving all the good comments. But I have to copy/paste 5 individual items!
“you guys know I’m saving all the good comments.”
Hoarder!
two good points.
“…of her own, sitting way up firm and high…”
-Bob Seger
“He’s also one of the most well-qualified GOP candidate – especially when it comes to national security and national defense. Santorum served for eight years on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.
Who, out of the other presidential hopefuls, boasts that kind of experience?”
Not Ronald Reagan.

After a pro-Santorum article, I’d like to know who still thinks women don’t get politics?
A while back when I tried to suggest you were mildly misogynistic, I seem to remember getting pounded by your clan.
Oh well, carry on…doesn’t bother me as I’m more so than you.
A while back when I tried to suggest you were mildly misogynistic, I seem to remember getting pounded by your clan.
——-
You’re remembering someone else. You’ve never suggested I was mildly misogynistic, nor been pounded by my clan.
You could try suggesting it *now*, and see if you get pounded by my clan, though.
Oh no, it happened, and I am again.
Oh no, it happened.
———–
no it didn’t.
but… we can see if my clan is as attentive as you think it is, anyway.
Let’s see what kind of command you have over the english language – how about explaining what you thought was mildly misogynistic about my message?
They haven’t been for a while now, so I doubt it. I just thought I’d bring it up again just as a lark. (and it did happen)
(and it did happen)
———
no it didn’t.
Let’s see what kind of command you have over the english language – how about explaining what you thought was mildly misogynistic about my message?
…and who are these people “in my clan?”
I really mean this seriously, not a copout, I’m just too tired right now to get into it with you. Feel free if you want to suggest otherwise, I’ll read it with neutrality.
(I”m making all sorts of grammar/spelling errors today anyway)
I have a strict policy of not crushing a person when he’s tired.
Oh, that’s good. So it’s a real “issue” for you eh? God forbid you’ve got a touch of the “misogyny”?
So it’s a real “issue” for you eh?

I’m just the baddest-ass motherfucker in the bar who stands up and calls out the pacifist with the long hair, who’s carrying on a loud conversation about rednecks with “Can I be of service, ‘Jesus’?”
It’s more about establishing pecking order than “an issue.”
lol…well good for you. Jesus is alright with me. I’m ok with pacifism too.
and, by God, my wife thinks so too!… if she knows what’s good for her!
oh come now, you don’t think married men can’t be misogynistic, do you?
Ugh, I really don’t want to go here tonight..lol
Look, if it makes you feel better, I think it’s only in the prejudicial sense.
oh come now, you don’t think married men can’t be misogynistic, do you?

Not if his wife is made properly submissive, no.

You served this country? Thank you Sgt. Birdog.
Chance of Frothy Fecal Matter being elected?
Zero.
But, you have great tits.
Awww, you think so?!
Yep!
Why not show us and remove all doubt?
It will make you “one of the guys.” I promise!
LMAO!!!I love it when you homo’s pretend you like women.We got a lot of you folks around here.
“love it when you homo’s pretend you like women.”
Why do you love it Frank Fitts?

Why have you forsaken me? Why did you have to leave? I miss you. Please come back…

He’s got to be able to extend beyond the religious right.
He doesn’t have that new car smell. I prefer executive experience. I’ll keep him in the back of my mind. No! Wait! Let me rephrase that. I will keep his candidacy under consideration.
..and in other news, Sarah Palin makes a total ass out of herself.

LOL, this editorial is comical (though I assume that wasn’t its intention)
If you think Santorum deserves to be president then you just lost all my respect
Republican Leadership Fast-track Constitutionally-INELIGIBLE Candidates for President!
http://chasvoice.blogspot.com/2014/03/cpac-conservative-division-and.html
Too late.Obama was a ‘Constitutionally-INELIGIBLE’ candidate. We now have legal precedent in this country for such candidates to run.
And the Repubs jumped right on it – just like socialized medicine and a bunch of other unlawful acts.
Go Taylor! Santorum would be a good choice.
After reading the comments, I wonder if some of your parents had any kids that lived.
2015 and still clueless.
Yes, this is a pro-Santorum column.
Palm, meet face. Face, palm.
He lost his own Senate reelection by 18%. 18%… You really think this guy has the chops to win a presidential race? If we need to get started on this guy’s insanely bizarre personal life, we can do that too. He doesn’t deserve respect.
I didn’t know a Democrat thought anything was bizarre ? Damn, when you support perverted marriage,legalizing drugs and infanticide what else could possibly be defined as bizarre?
You do know the ONLY PRO_LIFE Democrat senator defeated him and holds that seat-Casey had to run as Republican.
Taylor’s stupid, isn’t she?
Or, is it just profound ignorance?
Why does Fits keep this bimbo around? I thought Grand Tango and his entourage were here for the functionally retarded so they don’t feel left out. I wish they’d bring back Mande. She actually “gets it” with regard to a lot of things.
Whole we’re talking about Old Frothy, let us not forget how he wanted to make the National Weather Service quit sharing climate data with the public as payback to Accu Weather for their support when he was in Congress.
His values? Religion,and bigotry have no place in politics.See,Barry Goldwater for what true politics and real republicans are all about.Hint:’You don’t have to be straight to shoot straight’ BG
Santorums problem is he really believes that those whose votes he received last time were actually voting”for” him.
They weren’t.
He was simply the vehicle to express their opposition to Romney as the nominee and ,in that field of pygmies, Santorum stood out.
This is going to be a much stronger field and Santorum won’t stand out at all.
Respect him if you wish.
The political facts ?
He won’t win a single primary or caucus.
I was honored to have breakfast with Sen. Santorum on Saturday. He’s still awesome, principled, positive and Presidential. I look forward to helping restore our great nation with Rick Santorum at the helm!
Santorum is a great man. Humble, brilliant and honest. Would make a great President. SANTORUM/WEST 2016
Haters gonna hate
I googled Santorum and OMG!!!
What kind of “respect” is that weird girl in the photo (Taylor ???) showing Mr Frothy Mixture Of Anal Lube And Fecal Matter with that hairdo, or does their religious belief hold that young girls shall wear their hair in an Owl’s nest?
What a great article, Taylor. Your courage to speak out on a political truth many of us have observed with wonder, will likely cost you. That’s a REAL journalist. Will follow your career :) God bless you!
4 million votes. Obviously, it wasn’t enough. 11 states? There are 50. Not enough.
