Rick Santorum is an IDIOT! part III (pants on fire edition)

•January 10, 2012 • 1 Comment

So what is it Mr. Frothy? Black People or Blah People? Lives or Plives?  Keep talking king of Frothiness, you’re doing us a favor!

Rick Santorum just keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Just a week after saying ““I do not want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money, I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money,” Santorum is defending his racist comment for the second time. As you’ll recall, Santorum attempted to defend his comment first by claiming he said “blah people,” but Santorum is changing his story again.

 

According to the New York Times,

“He maintains that he did not say “black” people’s lives but rather stumbled verbally when he was trying to say “people’s lives” and uttered a short syllable that came out as “plives.””

Santorum made the claim while campaigning on Monday.

You’d think Santorum would learn to keep his mouth shut by now. But he insists on digging himself into a bigger hole. He clearly said “black people’s lives” on tape. The tape is so clear that it would stand up in a court of law. If Rick Santorum thinks he can convince the American people otherwise, he’s a fool.

Santorum is an Idiot Part II

•January 10, 2012 • 1 Comment

This man would be easy to ignore as just another wackjob fundie if he wasn’t running for President and scoring real poll numbers in key states, Santorum is dangerous for this country, this shit aint funny!

 

On the Catholic Church’s abuse scandals: “Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political, and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.”

On same sex marriage and bestiality: “In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That’s not to pick on homosexuality. It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality…”

On the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s decision to approve same sex marriage: “This is an issue just like 9/11. We didn’t decide we wanted to fight the war on terrorism because we wanted to. It was brought to us. And if not now, when? When the supreme courts in all the other states have succumbed to the Massachusetts version of the law?”

On the link between same sex marriage and national security: “I would argue that the future of America hangs in the balance, because the future of the family hangs in the balance. Isn’t that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?”

On the war in Iraq: “As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It’s being drawn to Iraq. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don’t want the eye to come back to the United States.”

On contraception: “Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”

On the Affordable Care Act: “I would tell you that my first priority as a president of the United States is to repeal Barack Obama’s healthcare plan. I think it’s the most dangerous piece of legislation, well, in many generations. It is the reason that I’m running for office. Because I believe Obamacare is a game changer. I believe Obamacare will rob America, the best way I can put it is, rob America of its soul.”

On President Obama’s pro-choice stance: “I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say ‘now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.’”

On global warming: “I believe the earth gets warmer, and I also believe the earth gets cooler, and I think history points out that it does that and that the idea that man through the production of CO2, which is a trace gas in the atmosphere and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas, is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all of the other factors, El Niño, La Niña, sunspots, you know, moisture in the air.”

W.T.F! Why has this man even made it this far!?

Mitt Romney is a LIAR!

•January 9, 2012 • Comments Off

I know I know, it is a wide known fact that Mittens is a liar but Jesus Christ on a pogo stick can he make it any more obvious that he’s a lying sack of monkey dung? During the Sunday morning debate Mittens lied with a straight face while defending the use of SuperPacs to do his bidding saying that he had never seen the commercials released against Newt, then changing his tune to say that the ONE that he did say only spoke the truth about Newt, then he again changed his mind and pretty much talked about the content of all the commercials defending them as truth but hey he never saw them and didn’t have anything to do with them…Huh?!  A small lie yes but if he can lie so easily on National TV even with so much time to prepare for such appearance, what else is Mittens hiding?   By the way, he loves FIRING people!

Yep! Santorum is an IDIOT!

Post image for Santorum: No One Has Ever Died Because They Didn't Have Health Care

Rick Santorum continued his assault on the poor and minorities yesterday evening. While speaking to a group of about 100 students at a small Iowa Christian college, Santorum claimed that no one in America has ever died because they didn’t have health care coverage. This, in fact, is a lie, as proven by numerous studies.

During an exchange, Santorum railed against same-​sex marriage, telling Dordt College students gay sex is not equal to straight sex, apparently from a “moral” stand point, and then there was this:

Santorum also had a tense moment when a student asked him about health care and the Christian responsibility of caring for the poor.

The student said he didn’t “think God appreciates the fact that we have 50 to 100,000 uninsured Americans dying due to a lack of healthcare every year,” citing a 2009 study out of Harvard University.

“Dying?” Santorum answered before going back and forth about the validity of the study.

“The answer is not what can we do to prevent deaths because of a lack of health insurance. There’s — I reject that number completely, that people die in America because of lack of health insurance,” Santorum said to a crowd of 100.

“People die in America because people die in America. And people make poor decisions with respect to their health and their healthcare. And they don’t go to the emergency room or they don’t go to the doctor when they need to,” he said. “And it’s not the fault of the government for not providing some sort of universal benefit.

Here are a few facts, Mr. Santorum:

“Researchers from Harvard Medical School say the lack of coverage can be tied to about 45,000 deaths a year in the United States — a toll that is greater than the number of people who die each year from kidney disease.” (New York Times, 2009)

“A research team at Harvard Medical School estimates 2,266 U.S. military veterans under the age of 65 died last year because they lacked health insurance and thus had reduced access to care. That figure is more than 14 times the number of deaths (155) suffered byU.S. troops in Afghanistan in 2008, and more than twice as many as have died (911 as of Oct. 31) since the war began in 2001.” (PNHP, 2009)

Igor Volsky at Think Progress adds:

The former Pennsylvania senator has told people who can’t afford health care to stop whining about the high costs of medical treatments and medications and spend less on non essentials like cable and cell phone bills and even suggested that insurers should deny coverage to people with pre-​existing conditions.

Santorum has decided he will do or say anything, now that the race is tightening. That’s neither very Christian nor very moral.

Santorum Almost Comes From Behind, But Romney Pulls Out A Win With 8 Vote Lead

•January 4, 2012 • Comments Off
 It’s the crazy Mormon vs. the Crazier Christian, stay tuned for a modern day Holy War…next!

It was a razor close race, but Iowa has chosen. Mitt Romney pulled out a close victory over Rick Santorum, winning by a very narrow margin. Despite being tied at 25% of the vote apiece, Romney scratched out an eight vote victory. Here are the results.

Mitt Romney- 30,015
Rick Santorum- 30,007

Romney wins the Iowa caucus despite a last minute surge by Santorum just days before Iowans casted their votes to choose their pick for Republican Presidential nominee.

Among the other candidates, Ron Paul finished in 3rd, Gingrich finished 4th, Perry finished 5th, Bachmann finished in 6th, and Huntsman finished dead last. Here are those results.

Ron Paul- 26,219 or 21%
Newt Gingrich- 16,251 or 13%
Rick Perry- 12,604 or 10%
Michele Bachmann- 6,073 or 5%
Jon Huntsman- 744 or 1%

Romney won among those making over $100,000 a year, while Santorum captured evangelicals. Paul won among independents and the young while God apparently abandoned Perry and Bachmann. Perry has announced that he will be heading back to Texas to reassess his campaign. Bachmann is staying in the race. Meanwhile, the only sane candidate barely got votes at all. The Iowa caucus vote suggests that the Republican Party is still split and may remain split for a long time, no matter who eventually becomes the nominee.

Iowans couldn’t seem to make their minds up this year, so it was only fitting that they chose the flip flopping Mitt Romney to be their candidate in the 2012 Election. Next up, New Hampshire.

Romney, Santorum, and Paul will all receive an equal number of delegates, despite the difference in votes.

Rick Santorum is DANGEROUS to Women!

•January 3, 2012 • Comments Off

Without a doubt, Rick Santorum is the most dangerous threat to women in the Republican Presidential race. He believes premarital sex should be outlawed, believes women have no right to accessible medical care, and that contraceptives should be illegal.

During an ABC interview with Jake Tapper on Monday, Santorum doubled down on his beliefs regarding contraceptives that prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, telling Tapper that states can outlaw contraceptives.

“The state has a right to do that, I have never questioned that the state has a right to do that. It is not a constitutional right, the state has the right to pass whatever statutes they have. That is the thing I have said about the activism of the Supreme Court, they are creating right, and they should be left up to the people to decide.”

Here’s a video from a conservative interview:

As Iowans cast their primary ballots today, the women should keep in mind that if they vote for Santorum, they’ll be voting against their own rights and privacy. Most women in America have used a contraceptive method at least once in their lives. Contraceptives prevent disease and have helped slash the abortion rate. But Rick Santorum thinks men should be able to pass on disease and impregnate women at will and that women should be powerless to protect themselves. Santorum believes men like him control what women do with their bodies. That is a true violation of constitutional rights. The Supreme Court didn’t “create right.” The court ruled that women had the right to personal liberty and privacy like everyone else. Those rights were already in the Constitution.

Santorum is the kind of man who thinks women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and that’s it. He’s the kind of man who thinks women should be submissive to men. You know, a Neanderthal.

Racist Group Stormfront Openly Endorses Ron Paul

•December 29, 2011 • Comments Off

Ron Paul is surging in the polls and that means he’s going to be hit with a freight train full of baggage from the past and a whole lot of new stuff from the present. But this is something that Ron Paul didn’t need right now given his past with racist newsletters and the current endorsement from the Ku Klux Klan.

On Tuesday, during an appearance on The Young Turks on Current TV, Don Black, the founder of the white supremacist group known as Stormfront, endorsed Ron Paul and claimed that their views coincide with Paul’s. Black tried to exonerate Paul of the racism charges that have plagued his political career but he fell short of being convincing.

“He’s clearly not a white nationalist, he does not have the same worldview we do. But we agree with his stand on the issues, which we believe are heartfelt, coincide with ours. I might prefer that he understand the racial issues that we deal with a little more than he does. We believe that white people in this country and all European countries, Australia, Canada are facing a form of genocide through assimilation.”

The problem with Black’s claim is that Ron Paul once defended his racist newsletters and former aides have regaled the media with stories of Paul’s homophobia, racism, and anti-Semitism. Paul reportedly once refused to use a gay man’s bathroom and is against the existence of Israel. And no matter how hard Ron Paul tried to run from those racist newsletters, his name is still on them and being endorsed by two white supremacist groups isn’t helping Paul’s image one bit.
