We know he's unelectable, that he has a protectionist voting and legislative record, that he opposed even the voluntary use of E-Verify, that he was big on earmarks. But if you mean anything ethical, I doubt it.

Protectionist? Big on earmarks? No and no.

I hope Sarah Marie points and laughs at the cameras next Tuesday night. She'll have her revenge.

You just ooze class. Care to show us your family? I'm sure you wouldn't mind us judging their looks.

Oh, and I wonder if his wife wears pants.


As in "Up yours" for making a crying little girl a punching bag even after her father had been soundly defeated.

I have to agree with you, we should not be attacking Santorums family. I hated it when it was done to Palin. As for Santorum himself, I think his openly homophobic views and the fact that he was a three term "establishment" senator will hurt him. Still, he is going to place second to Paul in Iowa, and may very well receive a boost in South Carolina.

If Santorum is the nominee, and Paul is not running third party, I very well could support him.

Meoow!

That's a pretty convoluted way of asking to see what I look like. But I'll oblige. Here you go handsome x



Ok, I'll admit it: I laughed at the wording there.

And I doubt that that's you.

Much as I loathe Santorum's politics, we shouldn't be making fun of his family. It's just cruel.

I think more people have gotten classier over the years. Making fun of a crying little girl does make some people feel like real men on the Internets though.

President Obama will beat a Bush-era Republican much more easily than a Teabagger.

Bush's approval rating are in the mid 40s and tying Bush around someone's neck in 2012 won't be half as effective as it was in 2008.

Even if Santorum wins Iowa, and then goes on to somehow win South Carolina and Florida, Mitt Romney is going to destroy him in February. Plus can you image the Paul-Romney-Santorum debates? It'll just be an hour of Paul and Santorum yelling at each other and Romney smiling in the corner.

He can't win South Carolina. He has almost no groundwork there. He focussed on Iowa (for the right reasons) but he'll fail faster than Huckabee because Iowa is his base, and he's polling at zero outside of it.

Actually, he does have somewhat of a campaign structure there and has been to the state more than most (if not, more than everyone else).

Please remember that he was polling "at zero" in Iowa not too long ago as well. Religious voters are flocking to him in Iowa. He should have a similar experience in South Carolina after he places in the top three in Iowa.
