Where's the respect for Santorum?
By Ben Kamisar

In the crowded 2016 Republican primary, theres one name that isn't gaining steam yet.

In circular file where it belongs w/ all other 'respect' f/ hypocritical, racist theocrats like "Frothy Saintorum"

1. On wads of tissue paper in the John.

8. DUzy

[HERVEPA]

2. On Santorum soaked sheets

[Gothmog]

3. Santorum is an idiot and has no chance of being the GOP nominee

Santorum is truly a very stupid person

[blkmusclmachine]

10. So that makes him VP material.

[merrily]

4. In such matters, I rely heavily on Mr. Google. Let's google frothy substance Santorum and see.

If Santorum wants respect with his extreme religious right views, he might get it pastoring an extreme religious right church. He is not going to get it in the White House, even from his own party.

5. Especially in his own state!

He and his views became a laughingstock here in PA where he lost his 2nd bid for Senate reelection (to Bob Casey) by the biggest % in state history IIRC. The radio ads pronounced him "Too Extreme for Pennsylvania"--a stroke of brilliance, implying that he might not be too extreme for, say, Alabama, but that kind of woman-hating stuff isn't going to fly here.
More recently he offered to donate his "papers" to his alma mater, Penn State, and they respectfully declined.

6. If he was running for pope, he might get some traction

Sanctimonious blowhards only appeal to other sanctimonious blowhards.

7. Doesn't seem to be on everyone's lips this time...

n/t

[world wide wally]

9. What respect?

[Thor_MN]

11. I've heard that Santorum will steam if it's really cold outside

[femmocrat]

12. He is a shameless self-promoter who does not deserve our respect.

He has a child with a rare genetic disorder who was not expected to survive. He wrote a tear-jerker book about her and is out promoting it now, just in time to get himself back on TV before another presidential bid.

Disgusting to exploit his family like this, IMO. I don't question his love for his daughter, but the timing is offensive and blatant.

13. I will say - honestly - that based on what I saw in NH, he was the best Republican candidate...

Yes, he was a nutty Republican, but he was able to give coherent answers as to why he held his positions, and he was willing and able to engage with people who disagreed with him.
