Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Rick Santorum For Pope

Family values...

OK, we shall know soon enough what the fate of Willard Romney is.  If Santorum wins Michigan, it could prove the beginning of the end for R-Money.  Of course, the establishment could freak out and do to Santorum what they did to Gingrich, but the main problem is that Santorum's sins are roughly equivalent to the sins of the GOP as a whole.

Look at Romney's lame attacks on Santorum.  He's saying he's a closet liberal.  That's just a stupid line of attack, because it is so self-evidently false.  You can attack Gingrich for being irrational and a blowhard, because that's exactly what he is.  You can't attack Santorum for being too liberal, that's insane.

Of course, insane is the new normal in the GOP, so...

Anyway, if Santorum wins, we have to unpack this little gem.  The idea that Santorum would base science policy off the book of Genesis is beyond whackadoodle.

I thought that Santorum was running for Pope, I just didn't know he was running to be Paul V.

Again, to all those liberals out there who worry about a President Santorum, relax.  Romney can't attack him for being an anti-science, anti-contraception religious zealot.  But others can and will.

Still disappointed that Romney hasn't hit him with Abramoff.  That would likely sting even with GOP voters.
