Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Holier Than Thou. Electable-ier than… well, he’s really just flat out un-electable.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — White House candidate Rick Santorum on Saturday questioned President Barack Obama’s Christian values and attacked GOP rival Mitt Romney’s Olympics leadership as he courted tea party activists and evangelical voters in Ohio, “ground zero” in the 2012 nomination fight.
Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator known for his social conservative policies, said that Obama’s agenda is “not about you. It’s not about your quality of life. It’s not about your jobs. It’s about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology.”
Got that kids? It’s some phony ideal. A phony theology. Not based on the bible.
Let’s not even get into the whole “Church and State” thing, because Rick wants to be to America what the Ayotollah is in Iran.
But are you listening other, saner, different Christians? You can only be Christian if you’re Rick Santorum’s idea of a Christian. And the rest of you should start making plans for your general admission seats in Hell.
That’s you, Lutherans. Protestants. Jews. Mormons.
In fact, that’s about 77% of America that aren’t “Catholic.”
And as for you silly women with your silly body parts and your silly desire for contraception that’s not closing your slutty knees together using an aspirin, like they did back in the day you can pick out your hell chair as well.
So who could Santorum be speaking to that wouldn’t feel isolated? Catholic Men - a full 11.5% of the population. Narrow bandwidth, sweater-vest.
This man will NEVER be president.
This man will probably end up running a Chic-Fil-A and running it very poorly.
The longer this moron stays in the race - the more the GOP talks about things like lady parts - the better it is for Obama. So I’l all for it. Keep bloodying each other. Love it.
Still, today? Santorum. you can piss right off, you self-righteous strip of turd.

Well, give a turd a chance and he’s still going to be a turd. Here comes the spin.
A more congenial Rick Santorum doubled down on several controversial, and religiously laden, remarks in an interview Sunday morning on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” where he defended his recent claims that prenatal testing results in abortions, that federally provided education was “anachronistic,” and that President Obama’s policies are not “based on the Bible.”
“I’ve repeatedly said I don’t question the president’s faith,” Santorum told host Bob Schieffer, denying what some have said was a signal that Santorum had challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s Christianity. “I’ve repeatedly said that I believe the president’s Christian — he says he’s Christian. But I am talking about his worldview, the way he addresses problems in this country, and they’re different than most people view it in America.”
In a speech to Tea Party conservatives on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, Santorum had dismissed Obama’s politics as being based in “some phony theology.”
An incredulous Bob Schieffer began his interview with Santorum Sunday by asking, “What in the world were you thinking?”
“I was talking about the radical environmentalists,” Santorum said, suggesting that they believe man should protect the earth, rather than “steward its resources.” “I think that is a phony ideal. I don’t believe that’s what we’re here to do … We’re not here to serve the earth. That is not the objective, man is the objective.”
Oh, shut the hell up you ridiculous throwback. No you weren’t. You were at a party with a bunch of similar minds and you pandered to the lowest common denominator. Then you got called on it and you’re backpedalling.
“I was talking about radical environmentalists.” Really? Where in the above comments should we have figured that out? Because you’re telling us now? What a weird little liar you are.
Earlier in the day on Saturday, Santorum had also said that health insurance plans shouldn’t be required to cover prenatal testing, because that testing results in more abortions, as well as contending that government-run public education was “anachronistic.”
Sure! And if a woman dies because of a complication, that’s okay, right? Again, remember this when you vote, women: To Rick Santorum, you are nothing but a tunnel to make more male babies. Now get back in the kitchen.
Ass.

Okay, so, if you’ve been following me you know what I think about this guy. He is batcrap crazy and the fact that he’s still in the race is both appalling, hilarious, and damaging to the Republican party. So, obviously, I’m for him staying in and shining a light on what a substandard crop they’ve raised for the 2012 harvest.
This falls more under “Appalling”
If you can’t stomach to watch it, here’s the gist:
SANTORUM: Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn’t, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I’ve always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation.
I love the “we” here. Who’s we? Are you the raped? The rapist? Or just some sweater-vested idiot shouting ignorance from the sidelines.
Share this. Retweet it. Every single woman of voting age should shout as loudly as they can to the heavens that this is a guy who considers you a monorail for babies. ANYBODY’S babies. Because whatever might come out of your womb is more important than anything that might come out of your mouth, your career, or your time on this planet.
That’s his message to half the electorate: ”Thanks for breeding, now shut up.”
