Hopefully, he'll announce it in spectacular Pennsylvanian fashion.

Santorum pulls out after repeatedly coming in number two.

It was as if millions of social conservative voices cried out, and were suddenly silenced.

Clean up aisle everywhere.

I liked the one about Santorum getting wiped from the ballot.

FOR TEH LULZ.

Help us Sarah Palin, you're our only hope.

Damn. A friend came up with a MUCH better headline:

"Candidate pulls out: Santorum gets cleaned up by Romney"

Damn! I just invested heavily in sweater vest futures.

This thread:

At first I was all:

And then I was:

So, uh, as an aside, would Santorum be OK with me "suspending" a pregnancy, cause apparently that's an acceptable version of terminating without actually saying it. Just curious.

Lenny_da_Hog: "There is one screaming, huge story here tonight and that is these Republicans just don't want to vote for Mitt Romney. I mean it's like you're trying to give a dog a pill. They keep spitting it up. Now, they're going to eat the pill, 'cause Romney's going to eventually be the nominee,"

James Carville

Is James Carville suggesting we wrap Mitt Romney in bacon?

"Awww, man, not again!"

Wipes curtains and leaves.

Really? I'm the first one to post this?

Ahh I see the Santorum family is wearing the Laura Ingalls collection.

DarnoKonrad: I really didn't think Romney could do it.

I am looking forward to Romney beating Obama in the election.

Romney has always been the Republicans best chance, and he was the most moderate of all the Republican candidates. I think he will make a pretty good president.

Now the fundie that lives down the road from me will have to replace the 30 stickers / signs he has all over his van and yard.

You know, if you told someone a few decades ago that a presidential campaign would come down to men named Barrack, Willard Mitt, and Newt, no one would believe you.

/no, Ron Paul doesnt count as a real candidate. Why should he get two normal names, and no one else get any? He's greedy.

Santorum Pulls Out. Leaves Behind An Awful Mess.

Looks like we've found something else the magic underpants protects you from.

This makes Newt look even more sad.

In the end, his anus was unremarkable.

Good, I didn't want that man making decisions on what porn I could or could not have. This is America, dammit! I should have all the porn I want.

Mrs. Beasley: Santorum's daughter is not ill, exactly. She has Trisomy-13 (AKA Patau syndrome).

She spits like a camel?

Thunderpipes: How do any of you libs honestly think we will ever bring the US debt under control? Once we hit the 20 + trillion mark in less than a decade, what then?

Where do you think the revenue could possibly come from to pay that down? Do you understand interest?

What about at the 40 trillion mark? 100 trillion? Will you raise tax rates on millionaires to 70%? That will bring in a few billion dollars in the short term. Tax businesses at 50%? That will cause massive contraction. How the hell do you intend to pay for all your free crap?

If we don't control it now, we are screwed. You can't do that by handing people free stuff and expecting them not to pay taxes. Obama's "Buffet" rule? Will get him a lot of votes. Will get the country about 4.7 billion a year. Absolutely goddamn nothing compared to our deficit. Successful people breed much more slowly. Dumb people breed like rabbits. You are a liar if you don't think that means less tax revenue, more welfare, and more Democratic voters to continue the cycle.

I am sure the dollar was worth the same amount back then too, so ya, this is real accurate Sparky. If you are going to look back in history, you should recognize our current deficit is not so bad when considered a percentage of GDP either.

What will the fundies do now? The only Christian on the ballot is the Democrat.

BunkoSquad

So how many candidates that God told to run for President have fallen on their faces now?

God should really stick to football.........

Guidette Frankentits: Clearly this means The USA is a Christian nation and is ready to implement a New Word Order and Christian Theocracy, clearly.

This would have worked a lot better had Santorum WON, not dropped out of the race. No, this means that we're all ready to embrace the revealed truth of Joseph Smith.

I, for one, will be immediately dropping out of school and preparing myself to love my fellow sister wives.

Dusk-You-n-Me: New Rule: Any bigot candidate that trots out "All men are created equal" in a speech has to add "except those gays" afterward.

Or, "...seriously, no girls allowed."

culebra: And now we get to watch Mitt Romney swing wildly to the left and try to pull off the "I was always a moderate" trick.

If he were an SUV, he'd have rolled a long time ago from all this swerving.

MythDragon: Is it too late to get David Palmer on the ballet?

He played Nelson Mandela, which means he's not a natural-born citizen.

Headline of the year.

I would've gone with "If his wife had only had an abortion, Rick Santorum could've been president."

Weaver95: 'shining city on the hill'.

what weird catch phrases evangelicals have...

If the city is on a hill, then it is highly-susceptible to siege tactics. Starve the residents.

Hobodeluxe: actually he's just suspending it. I'm guessing that is so he can continue taking in money.

I'm pretty certain his campaign is significantly in arrears.

Weaver95: Muta: I want another picture of Santorum with his family but this time with his son crying while holding his Real Doll.

the santorum family looks kind of....creepy.

What? His kids, Wednesday and Pugsley, are adorable!

I have a facebook friend who is about the biggest Santorum supporter you can get... I look forward to relishing in his tears...

Muta: I want another picture of Santorum with his family but this time with his son crying while holding his Real Doll.

"kwame, I am your father." --Rick Santorum

I want another picture of Santorum with his family but this time with his son crying while holding his Real Doll.

That's what happens when you threaten people's porn

Dammit, I wanted him to melt down in PA!

Draft Palin?

Now his wife can go back to the peaceful activity is pushing more clowns out of the clown car.

I was thinking something around the lines of "Radical conservative defeated at Gettysburg," but I like this one better.

But don't you dare call Rmoney inevitable...

Didn't see that one cumming...

Pop.... Drip.... SPLAT

Just more proof that Obama is the antichrist.

Brave Sir Rick ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("no!")
Yes, brave Sir Rick turned about
("I didn't!")

And gallantly he chickened out.
****Bravely**** taking ("I never did!") to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.

("all lies!")
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Rick!

("I never!")

That's OK, Ricky. Next year you'll be at a new high school and maybe they'll let you run for student council president there.

Thunderpipes: Wow. Liberals actually believe Obama will bring down the deficit.

This is why the country fails.

Get pwned by your own words, change subject. Vote Republican.

Brandyelf: LordJiro: Well, see, black people are just innately scary to certain groups.

I don't know if that's the case or not. The industry I work in is full of ex and retired military types who tend to be very small-government (except for DEFENSE), conservative people. I suspect it's more the Democratic stance on gay marriage, abortion rights, etc, that set him off.

I could be wrong, though.

There are few things that I despise more than Northern Virginia ex-military defense contractors who've got for-life medical coverage, and are constantly screaming bloody murder about government spending and evil socialist medical coverage.

They literally spit with rage and their faces turn beet red when you call them hypocrites.

RoxtarRyan: 2wolves: Tricky Ricky let me down. He let God down. I'd be willing to bet he believes professional wrestling is a real sport.

That's true... he's said many times it was God who was calling him to run, so what, now he is telling God to fark off?

I think his family just became pillars of salt... Pillars.

I'll bet Mitt offered him a cabinet post. Rick will be happy in the cabinet, since he's already spent most of his life in the closet.

Vote for us! We're all about jobs and deficit reduction now, honest. Look at all we've done in the last two years! We promise we're not going to use the whole jobs and deficit bit as a trojan horse to come in and change the country into an oppressive 1950s shiathole in our own image. Pay no attention to Scott Walker. Motherfarker's got porphyria. Purple shiat and everything, very sad.

So vote Republican. When have we ever let you down?*

What did Mrs. Dwyer say to Budd the last time she saw him?

Don't go shooting your mouth off at that press conference.

My headline would have been: Romney forces out Santorum.

Hollywood Cole: Is anyone else surprised, and or scared, at how far into the race this human-rights-denying, life invading, jack off made it?

Santorum's recent popularity stems more from who he isn't rather than who he is. The more people found out about him, the less they liked him. Nobody really wants an insane religious extremist and repressed sexual neuter in the White House, he would have been completely decimated in the general election.

Rick Inbred just dripped out of the race.

Overfiend:

Uh huh..... time to move out of the neighborhood with the glue factory in it.

Prediction:

Romney swings to the left............takes Santorum as running mate to pull the conservatives back.

Oh man, the things I would eat out of her ass... you have no idea, but her dad does.

kimwim: She's not going to get well soon. Or ever. She has Trisome 18. It's a genetic disorder, extra chromosome. They don't get better.

/late to party
//and to joke
///posting anyway

Weaver95: freeperville is going nuts.

So, Tuesday.

Or you mean more nuts than usual?

Seen splattered about on feet and legs

sharkbeagle: Hyper Dictator el Presidente Obama For Life! We no longer need Congress or the Courts or elections or laws or anything but Dear Leader Barack.

Well sure. Wanting him to have a second term is totally like that. *sigh* Whatever happened to quality trolling?

bogey: What do the Freepers have against RON PAUL? Digging around over there it's obvious they don't like him but not so obvious why.

Zionist conspiracy. RON PAUL is against intervention in foreign affairs so the Jew controlled media blacklist him.

When he FIRST entered the race last summer, my first Fark comment was something like "good, we'll get a version 2.0 of his family photo when he resigns".

meh, looks like it won't be so lulzy this time...

Weaver95: doesn't matter. the GOP rank and file will STFU, wipe their brains clean and vote for Romney. they'll forget they voted against Romney, they'll do what the party orders them to do.

THIS.

But at least they can have a cool campaign motto: "GOP 2012: Hopeless and Unchanging".

rynthetyn: tkwasny: If the GOP goes for deep dirt on the Obama administration, non-stop, they might win if they pick a black VP like Condi Rice or Allen West. If Romney wins it's more corporatism just like Obama. The people lose again in 2012 either way. Loss with a cannon shot to the face, or loss with a hop into a lava pit.

Allen West? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease. The lulz would be even more epic than with Palin, the man is batshiat, pants-on-the-head insane.

It'd be worth it just to see him lose his shiat and pull a gun on Biden at the VP Debate.

To: TexasFreeper2009
well... Santorum succeeded in clearing the way for Mittens *sigh*

now that his job is done, time to quit.

I hope everyone that supported Santorum is happy with the result!

If you had just gotten behind Gingrich, we could of had a REAL conservative as our nominee.

so true maybe now newt will win texas

"You people disappointed that Santorum lost should have supported our even more long-shot candidate!"

So we've lost the only candidate who was born in the U.S.?

trappedspirit: So did someone create the sexual definition of his name for political reasons or does it predate his career?

You could try Googling his name. Someone may have posted a page explaining it.

Deliberate?
From the NYT blog, The Caucus (new window):

"Rick Santorum suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday, bowing to the inevitability of Mitt Romney's nomination and ending his improbable, come-from-behind quest to become the party's conservative standard-bearer in the fall."

bobbette: Weaver95: there's that 'american exceptionalism' thing again. WTF man....what does that even mean?

It's the belief that America because of its history and culture is the most special and unique and country ever, and (in recent development) normal rules and standards for nations don't apply, because FREEDOM. U-S-A U-S-A

Heh.

I just finished reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Guess how much any reference to AE enrages me right now?

/someone needs to write a canuck equivalent of that book

fuhldang: Santorum pulls out after repeatedly coming in number two.

I laughed audibly

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: netweavr: Rockin' that Stephen Harper style, isn't he?

All he needs to do is bite the head off a kitten.



Someone photoshop it!

Inb4 all the Ron Paul supporters start exulting because now everyone will HAVE to vote for Ron Paul

I can finally wear sweater vests again and only slightly look like a complete asshole!

It still creeps me out that he got as far as he did (and Bachmann, too, for that matter). Does the GOP not screen these people, or do they secretly want Obama to have a second term?

Rockin' that Stephen Harper style, isn't he?

ISO15693: /no, Ron Paul doesnt count as a real candidate. Why should he get two normal names, and no one else get any? He's greedy.

It shouldn't be the federal government's responsibility to give the other candidates normal names. Ron Paul got his names on the free market.

EWreckedSean: Rubio is the obvious choice.

Conservative white guilt.

Damn, I was hoping they'd drag it out until the convention.

Oh well, now it's time to see Mitt Romney get his ass handed to him by high-flying rhetoric, full-campaign mode Obama. Remember that guy, how great he was? Well he's coming back, and even though this time through we know at least half of what he says is full of shiat, it's still a welcome change from the boring, pragmatic, moderate Obama he's been while governing.

Thank GOD

BunkoSquad: So how many candidates that God told to run for President have fallen on their faces now?

At last count? All of them.

With all the bozos running this year, we should have a nationwide write-in campaign for Drew Curtis.

Well, Ron Paul get's my vote. I'd rather chew glass than vote for Romney.

BunkoSquad: So how many candidates that God told to run for President have fallen on their faces now?

Well what do you expect when their God has dick like tendencies.

GAWDDEMMITSOMUCH.

There goes my hope for a brokered convention. I really thought Santorum could hold on.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

My Rush Limbaugh-listening, God-fearing, gun-toting officemate haz a sad. He just told me Santorum was the only one he thought had a good head on his shoulders. I told him there was no use frothing at the mouth, to just put it all behind him.

I told him Santorum scared the crap out of me. He told me none of them scare him as much as the current occupant of the White House.

This is why we don't talk politics at work.

It's a mistake. In states where either Santorum or Gingrich won at least one delegate (i.e. those where they campaigned and were on the ballot), together they are well ahead of Romney.

They don't need to quit, they need to double down and get into more races before the convention.

Making America safe for cream pie no holes barred gang bang videos.

Don't stand. Don't stand so close to me.

He's as broke as a busted condom. It happens.

I really didn't think Romney could do it.

Yeah, let this be the end of these hackneyed jokes, verily.

I love Boobies
