Rick Santorum is Unfit for Command
Ex-Senator Rick Santorum
Rick Santorum is an ex-Pennsylvania U.S. senator who was defeated for re-election in 2008 by an 18 percent margin. An 18-point margin means he was beaten badly. How can such a loser be elected POTUS? Santorum first cited his reputation as a reformer and a “bomb thrower,” able to “shake things up.” He bragged that he had “uncovered scandals” and “moved public opinion” on entitlement reform. Yet, the guy was a big porkbarrel guy who loved earmarks. What a phony.
He compared himself to Lyndon Johnson, whom he called the “most effective president in the last 50 years.” Obviously, the guy (Santorum) is not a true conservative; he is a liberal lover. Santorum concluded that real change could only come from someone who knew how to get laws passed through the Senate (http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jan/19/santorum-is-not-the-one-to-carry-the-gops-banner/). Being president is not being a senator.
Santorum said that if he was not elected as the Republican nominee, the Republicans will lose the presidency. That indicates that if he does not win the nomination, he would not support Mitt Romney and would work against him to cause the loss. This is a guy who endorsed Romney in the 2008 race. Unbelievable! When Santorum was called on his remark, he backtracked like a timid mouse.
Santorum is anti-gay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_for_%22santorum%22_neologism). Just ask Dan Savage. Santorum equates homosexuality to bestiality (http://www.christianpost.com/news/analysis-did-rick-santorum-equate-homosexuality-to-bestiality-67049/). The gays are very upset at him for his sexual bigotry. We cannot elect a POTUS who thinks like he does. Santorum’s wife was once pro-choice and had lived with an abortion practitioner 40 years her senior for six years for crying out loud (http://ca.news.yahoo.com/rick-santorums-wife-once-pro-choice-lived-abortion-195315062.html). Amazing!
Rachel Maddow would not let Rick Santorum call for Anthony Weiner’s resignation without reminding everyone that Santorum covered for Senator John Ensign when his mistress wanted to go public with their affair. Santorum is obviously totally partisan just like Obama. Read more about this sordid affair at http://www.towleroad.com/2011/06/maddowsantorum.html#ixzz1lmAUA8dH.
Santorum favors constitutional abortion ban and opposes abortion even in cases of rape because “I would absolutely stand and say that one violence is enough.” Previously, he supported right to abortion in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. For pregnant mothers who were raped and who do not want to keep the baby, Santorum desires to force them to carry the baby full term and bear the baby no matter what. What! This guy would be a good Hitler!
Santorum says he would order bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Obviously, he is a warmonger and would be prone to shoot first and ask questions later. He is a ready, shoot, aim type of politician. He would be very dangerous with his finger on the red button to launch a nuclear war on a whim.

Donald Trump put it correctly when he said that Santorum is like that high school kid who flunked out badly and then a couple of years later desires to enter the Wharton School of Management and expects to be accepted. The people of Pennsylvania kicked Santorum out of the U.S. Senate on January 3, 2007. He lost by a huge margin. He also endorsed liberal Senator Arlen Specter for president in 1996. Santorum is not presidential timber.
The liberal unions supported him in past campaigns. Two years ago, he questioned the purposed of Tea Parties and was very concerned that they would change the face of the Republican Party. So, now he claims to be a true conservative and the darling of the Tea Parties? Go figure! This guy is a flip-flopper.
If Santorum was smart, he would try to capture the vice presidential spot under Romney. If he is stupid, he will continue a strategy of destroy and conquer, which will be a failing strategy. If Santorum takes that course, he will work himself into a pariah position just as Newt Gingrich has worked himself into. When Romney wins the nomination, he will need to take on a running mate that is a far-right conservative, a person from a large battleground state, someone who is popular, and a person who will bring in those of the Tea Party and evangelical religious right that will not support Romney.
I was never going to vote for McCain in 2008, but I did because he took Sarah Palin as his runningmate. I voted for McCain only because he brought Palin onto his team. Hence, if Romney takes on someone as his runningmate who will be able to bring in the support of those Tea Partiers and evangelical religious right, they will have a winning team. Santorum can be that man if he plays his cards right. Being greedy and wanting to win it all is a far-fetched idea because of the very bad loss of his Senate seat in 2007. If he had won, he would have been in a more leveraged position today. However, he is not and should think wisely in how he conducts the campaign from today forward.
Whomever becomes Romney’s runningmate will form a team that will beat Obama on November 6, 2012. Romney’s vice president will then become the Republican standard bearer in 2020. So, the next POTUS after Mitt Romney will be whomever he selects as his runningmate, which will be one of these following men: Rick Santorum, Marco Rubio, Allen West, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Bob McDonnell, or Ron Paul. Rick Perry shot himself in the foot because of his religious bigotry attitude and friends.
Since February 11, Rick Santorum, like Rick Perry, shot himself in the foot. He is not on a list for Romney’s VP runningmate.
