New Santorum Ad

Ok, wow.  Someone on Rick Santorum's presidential campaign team has lost all his marbles.  The latest ad put forward by team Santorum goes where few have gone before.  Is this as bad as LBJ's 'Daisy Girl' ad in 1964?  Read Paul Waldman's comments here.



This ad plays to all the right wing paranoia and nonsense the conspiracy freaks have been propagating for the last 3 years.  Rationed healthcare, empty storefronts, the end of freedom of religion, and on and on and on.  Nonsense.  All of it.  I expect this kind of schtick from Rush Limbaugh or the folks at Fox 'News' but not from a man who wants to be president.  Then again, this is the same man who said God told him to run, told people that the Dutch euthanized senior citizens against their will (and has refused to recant when the Dutch called him on his lie), called the president a snob and a socialist, and believes birth control is an excuse for promiscuity.

Just one more reason America cannot allow Rick Santorum anywhere near the Oval Office.

  2. I hope he does get nominated and then loses by 50 states (or 57 by Obama's count) then this wing of the party will be marginalized.

  3. It would certainly be interesting to see what would happen in that case, wouldn't it? I compare this moment in time to Barry Goldwater in 1964 and how that blowout pushed the GOP toward moderation until post 9/11. Even the conservative icon, Ronald Reagan, was a pragmatic moderate on most issues.

    Perhaps President Obama's team should create some campaign ads depicting the U.S. under a Santorum presidency...higher rates of unwanted pregnancies leading to more abortions because of the lack of birth control availability for poor women, people dying on the streets because they can't afford healthcare, persecution of homosexuals, and rich people paying no taxes.
