YESSSSS!!!
Or as someone in the original comments to this tale calls him, Sick Rantorum.
snicker snicker
Sorry. Should he get the nomination, I know of 2 folk who won't be voting for him.

I'm confused. Is he saying that Obama is going to cause religious people to get a guillotine to kill him, or is he saying that Obama is going to round up all the religious people and put them under the guillotine.

Either way it's farking stupid.

I love that people actually support this guy. Keep the dream alive, you imbeciles.

It's still going to be Romney. It's always been Romney.

Jesus Christ, the GOP has turned the Hyperbole Machine up to 11, I see...

I wonder if the Obama Administration made this contraception mandate announcement now to send the religious fundamentalists into a tizzy and cause them to rally around this pud, Santorum?

My tinfoil hat is telling me that the timing of different Obama administration announcements is done specifically to add chaos to the Republican primaries.

I don't know if this fall under the "tinfoil hat" column, but it would be a shrewd political move... "Romney's having too easy of a time? Let's do something to piss off the Fundies and see if they all swing their support over to Santorum... Then we'll reach some kind of compromise with the catholic churches a little bit down the road after the damage is done."


I don't know... Just thinking out loud, I guess. It would be a pretty Machiavellian move.

Just borrowing a paragraph from Wikipedia:

The French Revolution began in 1789 with the convocation of the Estates-General in May. The first year of the Revolution saw members of the Third Estate proclaiming the Tennis Court Oath in June, the assault on the Bastille in July, the passage of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in August, and an epic march on Versailles that forced the royal court back to Paris in October. The next few years were dominated by tensions between various liberal assemblies and a right-wing monarchy intent on thwarting major reforms.

Yeah, I'm OK with this.

And at the same time, you make the candidates swing hard enough to the right to make Independent voters go "Uh....what the fark?"

"That ought to hold the SOB's.''

"Santorum: Obama Has Put America On 'The Path' Of Executing Religious People"

Yeah right, like Obama would actually do something for his base.

Any religious people want to explain how the 9th Circuit's overturning of Prop 8 is an attack on their religion?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

As a Pennsylvanian I've never been afraid of Santorum getting the nomination.

Much like how the spotlight dissolved Sarah Palin I've always known the greater the media attention given to Rick Santorum the more all but the fringiest of fringe would think "Oh my God. He believes THAT? That...that's weapons-grade crazy. That's 'Hobo in oft-shat pants at the end off the off-ramp screaming about alien sexbots impregnating the Pope' crazy. That's 'Scooby-Doo didn't get good until they added Scrappy' crazy."

The Onion is prophetic: Any religious people want to explain how the 9th Circuit's overturning of Prop 8 is an attack on their religion?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Clearly by attacking Prop 8, the unelected liberal activist judges are attacking the hard working red blooded American's right to discriminate against gay people like Jesus and the founding fathers intended.

That actually made my head spin all the around at least twice. WTF was he trying to say????

I can't help but wonder if they just didn't read this article (new window) and take it for truth.

I don't know about the compromise. From polling, it seems the vast majority of the public supports the President's position. Let's not kid ourselves, Santourm is not getting the nomination. When November rolls around the Catholic church gets to choose between backing the Protestant or the Mormon. I'm guessing they just shut up and sit this one out. It doesn't seem like they get much leverage, and its the morally correct choice.

I believe the administration is already working on something that allows the Catholic Institutions to use a third party provider for it's employees who do want contraceptives...

It's not really about getting Santorum as the nominee, though. It's about splitting the GOP base using a wedge issue.

...More accurately, it's about getting religious fundamentalists to throw their support behind Santorum, which keeps him in the race and gives the more conservative Republicans a candidate to support, who isn't Mitt Romney. This means Romney has to swing farther to the right, making him less appealing to moderates and independents.

We could just be talking out our asses here, too, but it would be a shrewd move on the Administration's part.

More like Sun Tzu.

When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what's left is the French Revolution.

Dominionist theocrats should be barred from holding office. By definition, they won't serve the people who elected them, they'll follow their theology instead.

Wouldn't surprise me.

But now I"m tempted to scour through the "Literally Unbelievable" site to see if anyone did.

I'm on Page 40 so far and haven't seen it, but it's an article from 2004, so it's unlikely. Of course, I've seen stuff from the 90s re-posted, so you never know...

His shiat has gone beyond politics that many may disagree with. It's gone beyond extremism. He is farking certifiable and I'm not even exaggeration.

...exaggerating that is.

Mugato: It's gone beyond extremism.

For some reason that made me giggle.

Go away Rick. You're a uselss prat, and every time I hear your name I'm reminded of thr fact that one of the biggest faiures of my state in recent history was ever electing you to office.

So...when are we going to start? I mean come on, we've got these FEMA camps we can throw them in first.

First Bachmann, then Perry, then Cain, then Newt, now Santorum. The lulz just never stop.

Funny that he's worried about religious people getting executed, given that a decent number of his supporters are theonomists who want to execute gay people.
