Mitt Romney: Flip Flop Face!
It was just too easy.
Although to be fair to Harvey Dent, I think both sides are bad guys here - regardless of the coin flip.
Quite possibly the greatest political parody video ever made in the history of man.
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.
Note: I know it’s a repeat of a blog from six days ago. But… here. We. Go.

Happy Halloween: Enjoy the evening. Because tomorrow, we all need to band together to make a ghost of Scott Walker’s job.
Dear #OccupyWallstreet - it’s time to #OccupyWisconsin.
The recall officially begins November 15th. Spread the word. Lead the charge. Be prepared to hit the ground running.
You can do it legally, quietly, simply by signing a signature and starting the process to make Scott Walker pay the price for being Scott Walker. You don’t even need to freeze your privates in the snow to make this statement.
Find a petition. Sign a petition. Get your friends and neighbors to do it. Make that number so undeniable, crushing and authentic that it’s impossible for the right to claim fraud. Start chatting up ‘em up now.
If you do… if that happens… watch the tea party start to fold like a deck chair.
Scott Walker is their poster boy. And by recalling him, you make him a Teabagging canary in a coal mine.
He goes, they’ll all fear for their political careers. He goes, Mitt Romney won’t be the only one changing his opinions in between heartbeats. They all will.
It will change the entire tone of the Presidential elections. Because the insane things you’re hearing come out of Perry and Romney… these are extensions of what Scott Walker is actually doing.
Which makes Walker the perfect person to be the example. It’s the perfect time to do it, right in the midst of the primary season.
This is a chance to make a statement that every GOP candidate needs to hear: Keep your fringe out of our politics. Act like an American, not a corporate spokesperson.
So let’s send this Walker guy packing.
And make that message resonate.
November 15th. Mark it on your calendar, folks. Two months. 540,208 signatures. That’s all it takes to fight back.
MADISON, Wis. — An effort to recall Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker over his contentious union rights law will begin Nov. 15, Democrats announced Monday, meaning an election could be held as early as next spring.
Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said on the party’s website that recall petitions will be circulated starting Nov. 15, giving supporters of the effort until Jan. 13 to collect 540,208 signatures.
Walker has become a national hero to many Republicans and conservatives and is a hot ticket on the fundraising and speaking circuit. But he is the top target for unions and Democrats as he became the face of the anti-union movement this year with his proposal that took away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most public workers.
“It has become clearer than ever that the people of Wisconsin – the traditions and institutions of our great state – cannot endure any more of Scott Walker’s abuses. To preserve Wisconsin, we must begin the recall of Walker as soon as possible,” Tate said in a statement on the website.
Two Republican state senators who voted for the law lost recall elections this summer, while four other Republicans and three Democrats survived recalls. The nine elections attracted $44 million in spending from national unions, conservative groups and others.
Under Wisconsin law, a recall can’t be started until a year after the officeholder was inaugurated. Walker was inaugurated on Jan. 3, which made Nov. 4 the soonest the recall effort could begin.
Tate’s statement accused Walker of being “dishonest with the people of Wisconsin” when he ran for governor.
“Soon after he took office, he proposed a radical change to state law by trying to take away state workers’ rights to collective bargaining which he never mentioned once during the campaign,” Tate said. “We cannot sit back and allow Scott Walker to continue to dismantle our education system, run our government as an auxiliary of corporate special interests, put our clean air and water at risk, and ignore an unemployment crisis that his policies exacerbated.”
There have only been two successful gubernatorial recall elections in U.S. history. The first was in 1921 in North Dakota and the other was when California Gov. Gray Davis was removed from office in 2003.
In Wisconsin, once recall backers file the required paperwork to start collecting signatures, they have 60 days to return the 540,208 required to trigger the election. If the effort starts on Nov. 15, the deadline for supporters to turn in petitions would be Jan. 13.
Once signatures are submitted to the Government Accountability Board, it has 31 days to review them. It will likely seek an extension to review the large number or signatures, similar to one it received for the recalls targeting state senators.
Legal fights could also delay any election.
If the board certifies the signatures, the recall election must be held six Tuesdays from that date. If more than two candidates run, that election would be the primary. A general election would be four weeks after that.
“It is not possible to say with any certainty when the election would be, especially to say it could be in conjunction with any existing election,” said Reid Magney, spokesman for the Government Accountability Board. “There are many aspects of the process that would make it difficult to do that because of the unpredictability of the timelines.”
No Democrat has announced plans to run against Walker. People mentioned as potential candidates include U.S. Rep. Ron Kind of La Crosse, former U.S. Rep. Dave Obey of Wausau, Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca of Kenosha, state Sen. Jon Erpenbach of Waunakee, and former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk.
Tate did not say whether the recall would target both Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch. The Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections, has requested an opinion from the attorney general’s office on how a recall against the governor would affect the lieutenant governor. Candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run on the same ticket in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin has four previously scheduled elections next year: the spring primary on Feb. 21, the spring election and presidential primary on April 3, the fall primary on Sept. 11 and the fall general election on Nov. 6.
