I couldn't think this was real but  Rick Santorum can't stop his aggression against Oboomer's acts and bills. This time the target was the parental act, which was a total mess of course.
But the problem is that it seems to me that Rick doesn't have a single unique idea. The way he does his campaign seems just to oppose BO in any possible way.
I doubt that a protest to the past is the best way to the Oval Office

That Santorum will never obtain high office again for the rest of his life isn't a unique idea, either.

Santorum has only slightly more chance than I do of winning the nomination. His candidacy has been poor, and I'm a tad surprised, given his success in 2012.

He has a specific niche (populist, basically), but it's being filled by other people. He's far-right on immigration, but that niche is being filled by Trump (who's basically making that his main issue). He's socially conservative, but socially conservative voters who went for him in 2012 are going with Cruz of they're fiscally conservative, and Huckabee if they're fiscally moderate.

If you're way over to the right on social issues and immigration, but somewhere in the middle fiscally, I'd think Santorum would be your candidate. Either there actually aren't as many people who fit that discription as I thought, or he's just doing bad at getting them to vote for him.

If Obama is for something, in 99% of cases, it's probably a really bad idea. That being said, opposing Obama for politics is wrong. Case in point is this opposition to trade promotion authority. Obama happens to be right on this issue, Republicans should stand with Congressman Paul Ryan in unity for this important legislation that will create jobs. The issue with Santorum is he's trying too hard to be relevant, his '12 supporters were originally Huckabee '08 supporters and are again supporting "I Like Mike."
