Rick Santorum is very concerned that President Obama is not handling the "Muslim threat" well enough and is considering a run in 2012. He was asked if Palin was qualified to be president some day and he told the press that Sarah Palin has some 'splainin' to do.

Asked if he thinks former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, is qualified to be president, Santorum demurred:

"No, I'll let the people decide that," he said. "I think, you know, she's done a lot to draw attention to herself that's positive. She's done some things that, you know, certainly are going to cause her to have to do some explaining if she runs for president. But right now I think she's on a roll, she's having a good time, she's having an impact, which look -- if you're sitting here out of office, the thing you want to do is have an impact on the direction of the country right now, if you're not governing things. And she's having an impact."

Palin is so entertaining for Man-Dog Rick. What a joker that Sarah is. He says that he'll be of great help in the 2010 midterms and he wants to weigh in on the important matters. You see, conservatives like Santorum destroyed the country for eight years and want another crack at finishing us off.

Man-Dog speaks:

Though Santorum has publicly sidestepped questions about his intentions, his friend and political adviser, Deal Hudson, told me that Santorum has informed his closest associates that he is very likely to declare his candidacy.

“[Santorum] said he was not considering running a few months ago,” Hudson said, “but he has grown so concerned about the direction [President Barack] Obama is taking the country that he told me he wants to get involved.” Santorum “believes that Obama is weak on the Muslim threat and he is convinced that it’s going to turn around and bite him badly,” said Hudson.

Hudson, who has advised President George W. Bush and Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain on Catholic issues, and who maintains close ties to leaders of the evangelical right, told me Santorum has become preoccupied with issues of national security. “He believes that Obama is weak on the Muslim threat and he is convinced that it’s going to turn around and bite him badly,” Hudson said.

No doubt Santorum will bring to a 2012 national race the same kind of success he had as a Senator from Pennsylvania in 2006.

Republicans are already deluded enough as it is. Santorum's on another level, where someone who was recently turned out by voters and currently holds no office can convince themselves they'll be attractive to voters on a national scale.

Do we have to call them the "Muslim Threat"? I'd prefer the "Muslim Scare".

Just call them the most convenient scare of the day. To republicans any fear is a good fear if they can scare Americans.

They are going to be coming out of the republican woodwork as 2012 gets closer. There is no sane front runner or back runner so it's a free for all with the losers of yesterday and today.

Maybe little Ricky just wants to become president so he can get a dog to "play with".

As a Pennsylvanian who happily got rid of man-on-dog Rick as a Senator, I hope he will consider a Presidential run. Maybe a thorough trouncing will make him crawl back into his cave for good.

who wrote this Op-Ed piece for Sarah Palin?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/...

I understand that in a book written by Santorum's wife, she details an incident where the two took their stillborn child home and slept with it in their bed for one night before returning the body for burial. Is it just me, or is that so f*ck*ng weird that it excludes you from representing the rest of us?!?!

All other Santorum weirdnesses aside--that is just pathological!

If he runs for president, are we not allowed to point that out?


Beware of anyone promising a future full of yesterdays.

and they let their other young children see and hold the deceased little boy, as well. I know folks deal with grief in their own way but all that was just too creepy for me.

Oh my, so this is just how bankrupt the Republithug's pool of 2012 candidates finds itself.

What, "Man on Dog" Rick Santorum can actually delude himself and others into believing HE is a viable candidate for President?

Difference being drugs are mostly dangerous to just yourself whereas taking Jeebus is mostly dangerous to others, and whereas there are clinics to help you off the former as of yet they don't exist to help you off the latter.

...everywhere, dont you??

The Republican party , the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, no longer exists.

Mr. Santorum is a member of the Authoritarian American Party.

Heck if GW called it the "Democrat" party, why not give them a name of our own. It is what they are, how they behave, and the policies they endorse.

Muslims are the enemy of the day. Reagan had the soviets in the 80's. McCarthy had the commies in the 50's. At home conservatives have had the blacks, the hispanics and the gays. Conservatism needs and enemy, real or imagined, to exist and thrive. Without fear and division they would never win another election.

Little Ricky got Lucy's screwball gene.

Father First, Senator Second

Monday, April 18, 2005; Page C01

In his Senate office, on a shelf next to an autographed baseball, Sen. Rick Santorum keeps a framed photo of his son Gabriel Michael, the fourth of his seven children. Named for two archangels, Gabriel Michael was born prematurely, at 20 weeks, on Oct. 11, 1996, and lived two hours outside the womb.

Upon their son's death, Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen's parents' home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and 1 1/2. They took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass.

We should hope such an excellent candidate runs for the GOPhers. He truly is their kind of guy.

And as I mentioned above, I think they even slept one night with the body!

Has anyone read the book written by Santorum's wife???

Everything about Little Ricky gives me the heebee-jeebees. His weirdness knows no limits.

Oh, by the way, did they ever figure out where exactly he lives?

it’s going to turn around and bite him badly.

When Bush was weak on the "Muslim threat," and it turned around and bit him badly, we were told that Bush was a war hero and God ordained him to lead. And also that there weren't any terror attacks on his watch.

Hard times, good PR and a compliant media are turning demagogues like Santorum and Palin into viable presidential candidates. Woe to all of us, including their dimwitted supporters, if they or someone like them is elected.

of right wing religious and the catholic church has almost become complete. The abortion issue is about the "Muslim threat". Muslims don't have abortions, their population growth scaares the hell out of these righties. They will mask it as national security, but they would love to keep killing people in the mid-east till the sun doesn't shine.

Please, give me 40 seconds while I drop to the floor and die laughing. WTF? Only 8% has administrative xperience? They had 100% admon experience and they sure did a wonderful job in fucking up America.

I guess Rick is just into gettin' slapped around. He obviously didn't get enough the last time he ran.

The big poodle compromise of the 2nd decade of 21st century!!

If Santorum thinks that he can get elected president then I should get started on my campaign to become the Sultan of Brunei. I have just about the same chance. Man on Dog, Rick, Man on Dog!

Rick Santorum is "preoccupied with issues of national security?" Really? He was never so concerned about national security that he actually served in any branch of the armed forces. Chickenhawk.

Did I hear him say "Big Government shouldn't be large"? Umm, how about we ammend that to "Pennsylvania talking heads shouldn't speak..."

Tancredo to be his VP. the Brain dead Ignorant wander through the desrt of Life Lost confused and bring Hate Deceit and Destruction with their half witted half thoughtout ideas of DEATH and Destruction for those that do not follow them.

Remember being a Bumbling Fumbling Teabagger and Hate Monger Right Winger, requires nothing no Intestinal Fortitude, and no questions asked attitude.

Yeah, Tancredo, who got his deferment on mental health issues, he was severely depressed. And he wanted his finger on The Button! Just what we fucking need. Anyone else see him disconnect his microphone and walk off a few weeks ago when he didn't like the questions? Asshole.

This butthead was an embarrassment to the Repubs and his own state's electorate because his theofascist ideas scared the living crap out of any sane person with eyes, ears, and an I.Q. of at least 100. I got to calling him Sap Factotum as it seemed to fit. He was a one issue candidate and a one issue senator: abortion, and in particular his Catholic objections to it. Seems to me the Constitution guards against legislation from Rome.
