Santorum ‘does not care’ about the unemployment rate

[appleannie1]

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said in Illinois on Monday that he was not concerned about the unemployment rate because it wasn’t the government’s duty to create jobs.

“I don’t care what the unemployment rate’s going to be,” he continued. “Doesn’t matter to me. My campaign doesn’t hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates. It’s something more foundational that’s going on. We have one nominee who says he wants to run the economy. What kind of conservative says that the president runs the economy? What conservative says I’m the guy, because of my economic experience, that can create jobs?”

The only thing he cares about is your sex life. Doesn't matter if you have a job or not.

3. hang that on the whole republican party

forget about Santorum, he's not going to be the nominee, but that quote can be used against Romney and against every Republican running for office.

4. Rick Santorum

Racing back to 19th century economics and depressions every 20 years.

If this guy gets anywhere near being elected we are so fucked as a country.

If his IS elected, kiss your ass goodbye.


( On second thought, don't. Might get you arrested by the morality police for 'being mistaken for gay'. Created by executive order)

5. Apparently all he is concerned about is that even one of his "precious" sperm won't

result in a child being born, especially one as good looking as he thinks he is.

Smart, too.

Yeah, you can't fix stupid. Not even with duct tape.

6. He really doesn't, you know. His is not a campaign for the presidency, it is

a media campaign designed to attract working class people who see in his moral positions a strong father figure, the way the world would be if it weren't for stinking progress. Business free of regulation, men make the reproductive decisions, poverty exists because of defective people. They are building an organization of like-minded Christians.

They don't care if they run, or ruin, this country.

If they win the presidency (people thought Reagan was a clown and Bush an idiot) great. If they don't they can still win by blocking anything being done for the next decade or more in a variety of venues.

Lakoff talks about a slow building campaign, stretching from your local school board to the Presidency, here, which would explain his saying the things that TODAY maybe couldn't get him elected. But 4 or 8 years of watching America circle the drain, and they might have a shot.
