Rick Santorum Auditions With SC Powerbroker

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.

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.

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.

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.
