Sounds like you were a very busy sailor back then.

quickdraw: I remember this headline from 2008 only it was Hillary who couldnt be reasoned with.

Hillary still had a chance though.

Why Rick Santorum won't stop

Because the longer he runs, the further he drags the GOP and the country to the right.

McCain called him an elephant?

Remember, the people who like Santorum also like Christian Rock. Their desires and motivations are alien to you and me.

Welcome to where time stands still. No one leaves and no one will.

basemetal: Do you think he's pushing for the vice president slot or is he just that much of an ass? I really don't think he'd bring much to the ticket as a VP candidate.

It's a rift in the GOP, the religious arm of the base isn't getting enough of the theocracy they want with the establishment republicans.

Keep it up Rick. Make sure everyone including you, your rivals, and the voters everywhere are completely burnt out.

Scumbag God: Creates humans capable of infinite love, mercy and compassion; wants Rick Santorum to be President.

/there is no Dog

Weaver95: X-boxershorts: A classic psychopath. Completely motivated by self interest and lacking any genuine self criticism.

No Rick, that wasn't God telling you to run. That's your ego.

Not a single Pennsylvanian Republican has endorsed Rick Santorum. so that's gotta tell ya something right there.

I've been quite pleased with the media coverage of this point, and their discussion of Santorum's successes and failures during his tenure in their representation. It's clear he must have left Pennsylvanian politics on a high note, and would do the same on the national scene!

/twitch

Perpetual Motion Santorum.

I think Rick Santorum as VP would do for Romney what Palin did for McCain.

"The idea that the Crusades and the fight of Christendom against Islam is somehow an aggression on our part is absolutely anti-historical."

Watch the second video at about 0:36 in.
Its not the cursing, its that this guy obviously has an anger issue. He reminds me of the mob or something.

Delusions from a guy who believes in an invisible sky wizard? Shocking.

I think he is, and what he will bring to the ticket (supposedly) is the Religious/Conservative "base" of the GOP, who don't like Mitt because he's too "liberal" even after all his position-shifting.

/GOP Convention is going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch this year.

"The idea that the Crusades and the fight of Christendom against Islam is somehow an aggression on our part is absolutely anti-historical."

--Rick Santorum, claiming Christians played no role in starting the Crusades.

The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to check the advance of the Muslims and regain control of the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

Muslim armies had conquered Syria, Persia, Palestine, Egypt, North Africa, Spain, Sicily, Southern Italy, Cyprus, Rhodes, Sardinia, Majorca, Crete, and Malta which had been some of the most heavily Christian areas in the world. They attacked Rome and even made it to within 100 miles of Paris before they were turned back.

Thousands, and possibly millions, of Christians died during this drive to eventually bring the entire world under Islam.

Funk Brothers: Santorum needs to force Romney to be Romney's running mate against Obama. Palin needs to get involved and tell Romney to accept Santorum as his running mate or accept the party will be split in half.

That or split the Republican Party by 20%. In 2008, people were worried about that and they decided to support McCain.

The only person that can save us now is Bush.

Which one:


Singing Bush


Burning Bush

Or


Jeb?

So would it be an act of aggression for Mexico and Great Britain to jointly invade the United States to reclaim the territory lost to the US?

I wonder if he'll off himself on camera rather than concede to Mittens?

Weaver95: So why is he still running?

because f*ck you, that's why.

I prefer the "why not?" option. What else is he going to do? If he had a more lucrative offer, you better believe he'd be taking it while telling everyone how the "liberal" media chased him out.

Santorum is still in it because he hopes to hold some sway in the party by having the religious base coalesce behind him. He won't be asked by Romney to join the ticket however. I'm pretty sure he's pissing Mitt off daily by not dropping out. What Mittens needs is someone from the South who has deep Christian roots and doesn't have a funny name like Piyush or Nimrata but those folks don't tend to like Meh Romney.

An ass? The guy is trying to be the President of the United States and he's received thousands of votes. Think about how good you feel when you get 40 likes after you post a pic of you hugging your grandma on Facebook. He'll never be closer than he is right now, even if that seems like he's lightyears away to the political pundits. Also, where is he going to go? He's flying around shaking hands and giving speeches for money. Why would anyone want to get off of that gravy train? See: Palin, Sarah.

Seriously, though. We cant keep allowing the media to pick our candidates for us and then biatch about how there atren't any choices. There are 50 states in the Union. It's not just Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Florida. Why do we allow MSNBC, FOX, or anyone else dictate to us when a candidate should leave the race if its still mathematically possible for him to get enough delegates?

Guidette Frankentits: Delusions from a guy who believes in an invisible sky wizard? Shocking.

Try to focus. I'm sure there will be a religion thread soon.

What makes you think Romney would even consider it? His campaign will do the same thing McCain's did: pick the person who they think can unite the party and increase voter turnout. Hopefully they won't fail as spectacularly as with Palin. Or hopefully they do. Whatever.

Please win...PLEASE WIN

I'll switch from independent to republican in the california primary just to vote for him.

Religious fundies need to be shown that no one likes them on a national scale in the general election.

"The Crusades" include several wars against non-Muslim parties who had not committed any aggression against Christianity, or had been victims of Christian aggression:

Albigensian Crusade (new window)
Wendish Crusade (new window)

And then there was the Fourth Crusade (new window), which resulted in the Frankish conquest not of Muslim lands, but of Constantinople, then still in Byzantine hands.
