I posted a comment to a news article saying he is a douche.  Now that it's on the internet, it must be true!

CNN Debates - Seriously GOP, talk about a mummer's farce. They're like the "Toby Keith" of the political world. Singing the songs the not-to-bright like to hear.

I have a friend who posts a running commentary on the GOP debates on a certain social network. I LMAO reading them!  (They remind me of the thoughts I would have had I watched them myself!)

  I have tried to what the Clown Show and it makes me sick to my stomach.   The lies, bullshit it like the song, "Give me that old time religion", "Bring in the Clowns" and "the only Homo is a dead Nomo"    I made up the last song.

  Listening to the idiotic crowd of trained seals clapping at every lie.  It is diffidently the American Taliban at work on the American Sheeple. 

[The Troll]

  Remember what I said about the Republicans getting complete control of the Indiana State House how stupid and bad thing would get.

  Well, Republican Robert Marrow said after he took out his girls out of the girl scouts and researching the American Girls Scouts on the internet, he says that the American Girls Scouts is an arm of the Plan Parenthood organization.  This boy is a real jerk.

  Also the anti-smoker Republican Nibshits are making private business to stop smoking in their own business.  Talk about big government and sticking their noses in someone Else's business.  Why it the Republicans want of force their moral values down everyone throats and this comes from one who doesn't smoke.

 

[The Troll]

  Speculation

  Say you're a 60 year Republican, Democrat old man or woman who has worked off their ass.  work heavy, dirty, hot, sicking work and your worn out, sick and need some help and your Republican candidate promises you that he going to raise the age on Social Security and Medicare.

  Just think you haven't had one of those white collar, suit, tie, sit on your ass all day in a air conditioned office.  You were cleaning out grease traps, clean crappers, working in hot kitchens cooking washing dirty dishes for the assholes. 

  Well, old Business killer Mitt Romney did that today.  What a wonderful man.  I would hate to see that happen to a good Democrat, but god damn it you damn Republicans deserve it. 

                                                   

[The Troll]

             WTF!

  George W. said God told his heart to run for President.  So did Mich Bachman have her heart touched by God to run for President.  Sara Palin said God told her to run for President and so did Herman Cain.  Old Rick Perry was also touched by God.  Now on Glen Beck's show Pope Rick Santorum said God has talk to him and about God telling him that the Devil was after America and to run for President.

             WTF!

  God has really fuck up on the people he wants to run for President.  I think the old man is senile.     

                                         

[The Troll]

                         The Republicans bring out every election.  Guns, Abortion, Religion, Gays, Gay Marriage and Money and how the Democrats are going to take all of these away from the Americans. 

  When are the Republican Sheeple going to wake up to the same old bullshit every time.  The Democrats has had a chance to do these thing many times and never have or never will.

  It's all smoke and mirrors and bullshit.

Personally, I don't put much faith in polls. . . but since some here seem to there's this:

Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama holds double digit leads over the top two GOP presidential candidates, according to a new national survey.

A Politico/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday indicates Obama topping former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 53% to 43% in a hypothetical general election matchup, with the president leading former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania 53% to 42%.. . .

Then there is this:


(CNN) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sounded a confident note on her boss' reelection prospects in Tunisia Saturday, telling a group of Arab students President Barack Obama would be president for another four years.

"He will be re-elected president," Clinton said in Tunis. "I think that will be a very clear signal to the entire world as to what our values are and what our president believes."

nor do I put much faith into polls, but since you brought it up....

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

For the first time since late December 2011, Mitt Romney leads the president in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. Romney earns 45% of the vote, while the president attracts support from 43%. Romney holds a nine-point advantage among unaffiliated voters.

Actually, I would not bet a buck on who is going to win....I still say it comes down to the economy when Nov rolls around....if it is good, Obama wins....if it is still the same as it is now...he loses.

[The Troll]

  Can you imagine the pure stupidity and ignorance of Pope Rick Santorum calling Obama a (SNOB) for saying that he wanted American people to get some college, apprenticeship, vocation school.

  Old dumbass Pope Rick has three college degrees.  I can see he wants to keep the Republican Sheeple stupid and easy to lead.

  How about this statement Henry Hawk?  Are you a snob because you got some extra education.

Proves he doesn't listen too well either.  Obama said "opportunity" to go to college not everyone should go to college.

Evryone should have the opportunity to attend college or a vocational school. The reason most often associated with NOT attending is $$. So making it affordable should be job one in this country when it comes to education.

Now I would agree that not everyone is capable of thriving in a collegiate environment, which is why. Vocational schooling is mentioned.

[Henry Hawk]

The problem with government intervention with the schooling business is this....our fed is co-signing on cheap loans to kids who can never pay it back.....but MORE kids are going now than ever and colleges are raising it prices up and up and up, because they KNOW they can get it.

the gov is creating another bubble that is going to burst in a few short years....and MORE bailouts to be dealt with...

and Troll, I'm not sure WHAT in the hell you are talking about....

On the subject of Mr. Santorum, I could add my two cents and more, but couldn't sum it up as well as Eugene Robinson.  I especially like the part where he ... uh ... addresses Mr. Santorum's blue-collar roots.

The Washington Post
Rick Santorum's rhetoric goes to the extreme

By Eugene Robinson, Published: February 27,2012

For all his supposed authenticity, Rick Santorum is not what he seems. Beneath that sweater vest beats the heart of a calculating and increasingly desperate politician who has gone beyond pandering all the way to shameless demagoguery.

That's the charitable view. The uncharitable take on Santorum's incendiary rhetoric is that he actually believes this stuff. Either way, it's time for Republican voters to end his little electoral adventure and send him back to the cosseted life of a Washington influence-peddler.

The image of aw-shucks earnestness that improbably landed Santorum in the Republican Party's Final Four was beginning to fade. Mitt Romney, who is nothing if not relentless, was beginning to climb back up in the polls, and Santorum risked becoming nothing more than the latest of a series of anti-Romneys to bite the dust. Something had to change — so, in recent days, Santorum's avuncular smile has become a nasty sneer.

On Saturday, he attacked President Obama for advocating higher education. Yes, you read that right: Santorum came out against going to college.

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college," Santorum said in Michigan. "What a snob."

Huh? Santorum elaborated: "There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard every day, and put their skills to test, that aren't taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them. Oh, I understand why he [Obama] wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image."

Ridiculous? Offensive? Hypocritical? Manifestly, all of the above.

Only a fool or a liar is unaware that higher education is all but a prerequisite for success in the post-industrial economy; the unemployment rate for college graduates is just 4.4 percent, compared to 9.5 percent for high-school graduates. The idea that encouraging young people to go to college is really an attempt to lure them into indoctrination camps, or campuses, would be grossly insulting if it were not so comically paranoid.

But of course Rick Santorum doesn't practice what he preaches. He went to college and holds both a law degree and an MBA. He's sending his own children to college; his two eldest, Elizabeth and John, are interrupting their studies to help their father in his campaign.

Santorum told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that "there are a lot of people in this country that have no desire or no aspiration to go to college, because they have a different set of skills and desires and dreams that don't include college." Yet he makes sure his sons and daughters are not among them.

Hypocrisy and illusion are nothing new for Santorum. He plays up his alleged blue-collar roots, contrasting himself with the snooty Romney. But his father, Aldo Santorum, was a clinical psychologist who held graduate degrees, including a Ph.D., and worked for the Veterans Administration. His mother was an administrative nurse.

Wait, there's more. Stephanopoulos also asked Santorum about something even more ridiculous that he said last October: that he "almost threw up" when he read John F. Kennedy's famous 1960 speech about the separation of church and state.

That landmark speech was credited with reassuring voters who might have feared that Kennedy, a Catholic, would somehow take orders from the Vatican if he were elected president. "I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute," Kennedy said.

Santorum's view is the polar opposite. "I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute," he said. He claims Kennedy was proposing that "only people of non-faith can come into the public square and make their case" — which is not even remotely what Kennedy said. The speech was a celebration of religious pluralism, not an argument against faith.

I have to assume that Santorum knows what Kennedy meant — that when he says "the idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country," he's just trying to appeal to religious conservatives. If Santorum is serious, his views are not just misguided but dangerous.

Progressives have an obvious interest in seeing the Republican Party choose a weak nominee, but they shouldn't hope for Santorum. He would be the most extreme candidate since Barry Goldwater — and probably would suffer the same fate. But the nation can't afford to take that chance.
