His codename: Frothy

unyon: Are these things typically granted?

The process is the candidate asks for protection from the Homeland Security Secretary who then by law needs to get congressional approval and it's taken on a case by case basis.

The first GOP candidate to get Secret Service protection this campaign cycle was Herman Cain back in November of last year.

The earliest any campaign candidate ever got SS protection was Barack Obama back in May 2007.

I would speculate openly as to why Cain and Obama got such early protection but by this point you are either well aware or in active denial

(R)-Money has already requested and has been receiving SS protection since the beginning of February, of course.

Perhaps it's finally dawning on him just how many Americas he's offending.

..... nah.

Non-religious, anti-life people threatening him? That makes no sense!

I heard that the religious fundies were the crazy ones.

I loathe his politics and despise the man, but I think it's reprehensible that anyone would threaten him just because he's offensive.

(Not saying you are, but the need for protection implies someone is.)

Yeah, I don't think it's to the level of violence. But his positions ARE against the lives of women, and many other Americans.

TFA is a restatement of its own headline.

Can't R-Money pay for his own private security. Instead of sucking on the fed's tit?

On the other hand, if Virginia's governor signs the 'Mandatory raping women with a blunt object' bill, he may need protection from assasination.

(R)-Money has always traveled with his own private security team and will continue to do so. They are just now working with the SS. The foiled glitter bomb 'plot' in Florida is proof of their necessity according to some.

Excrete Service?

Prediction: Soon a Liberal will come in here, lightly mocking the "waste of Government tax dollars" supplying Secret Service personnel to Santorum. That will be followed by an itchy trigger finger Conservative, bashing Obama and his over-sized Secret Service "entourage."

Back-and-forthyness will then occur for 3 pages.

Of course, some crazy person is shooting lubricated shiat at him. (new window)

Back off guys. He's just trying to make sure that he isn't killed by his psycho son for ruining the family name.

I still think that he's worried that Dad will be home more, so I'll never get to fap anymore.

Santorum to the point in the primary where he needs and can request Secret Service protection.

Beautiful! Keep it up, GOP. You're going with a winner!

Ugh, so many farking words. Anyone got a TL;DR version of the article?

tl;dr

Give him secret service.

Please.

That way the liberals can biatch and moan how he spends taxpayer money every time he moves somewhere.

He wants to expand government? RINO! A real Conservative would find some private sector workers that could do that job more efficiently for less money.

Headline is full of lulz - because it's great how Santorum has branded himself as the anti-birth-control candidate a full 8 months before the general election. If he winds up going against Obama, he'll be running for president in a time of major economic and geopolitical instability... and he'll be most known for opposing birth control. Well played, Obama. You set the trap and the Republicans couldn't wait to storm right into it.

We give secret service protection to candidates who don't stand a chance now? If I announce my candidacy can I get secret service protection?

CPennypacker: We give secret service protection to candidates who don't stand a chance now? If I announce my candidacy can I get secret service protection?

Psst... Santorum is currently the Republican frontrunner. He's won more states than Romney and is doing better in the polls. I know it's hard to believe, but there it is.

Maybe he should wear a Kevlar sweater vest just to be on the safe side...
I sure as hell don't want to see him get elected to anything, but I wouldn't want him killed. That would make a martyr out of him. That and it's wrong to fight hatred with violence.

Instead, I pray that Santorum's heart and mind be opened to compassion and love.

You know who else had SS protection?

Ya know, kinda like Jesus taught . . .

There's a new frontrunner every 10 seconds. He's still got way less delegates than Romney and he stands no chance in the general.

I'm sorry. Low hanging fruit. If it's any consolation, I also tl;dr'ed the comments and accidentally the whole thing.

I'm going to agree that he stands no chance in the general, but I think he could very well be the nominee. Romney has hit his ceiling in terms of support, but it used to be that the rest of the Republican field was splitting up the anti-Romney vote. Now it's just Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul. Gingrich is probably done for, and Paul has his own hardcore supporters and not much else. I think the anti-Romney vote has more or less coalesced around Santorum. Santorum has been getting hammered on contraceptive/abortion stuff, but that will actually make him more popular among the social conservatives, not less.

Eh, I'm just happy that the republican party has finally figured out what an elitist is.

Now all they need to figure out what a christian is, what a compassionate human being is, what common sense is, and what science is.
