Guy is a fucking super villain. If he had the power to do anything he wanted you better make sure you're a christian or else.
Maybe if you don't live in America.

The American electorate is small and largely stupid. That's really all there is to it.

He doesn't.
I know he is not going to be, but the fact that he is actually in the running to be a presidential nominee is shameful.

Dick Cheney is a supervillain. Santorum is just a joke.
If the Repubs nominate him they will get annihilated in the general election. Remember that he lost his Senate seat by a 16-point landslide- and PA isn't even a very liberal state.
That would be Herman Cain, the guy with the Sim City tax plan who sang the Pokemon movie song at his speeches.
nope, he's just trying to round up all the overly-religious voters.
The guy went to college, and he criticized Obama for wanting people to go to college....all the evidence you need.

Ok, so, what exactly does this guy have against gay marriage? How does it affect him in the least?
Is it because it's an offense to "god"?
Is he god's personal protector? Can't god, you know, take care of these things himself?

The fact he won primaries in 4 states already put him far closer than he had any right to be.

Rick Santorum isn't the problem. Rick Santorum is just a symptom.
Missouri doesn't count and Newt Gingrich didn't even make the ballot, so he likely overperformed there; Mike Huckabee won Iowa in 2008, and all it got him was a television show; He took about 50 delegates total from MN and CO, so I wouldn't say he got close at all.
You mean, he's the frothy excrement that indicates a larger intestinal problem?
Well yeah, the fact that he is in second place as a republican nominee shows that many people are voting for him.

Yeah, 200,000 plus people being "unmarried" would be so funny.
Among the other crazy shit he'd pull.

Yeah when you take it all into account, his campaign was almost approaching meta-genius. A black man as the Republican presidential candidate, and not just any primary, but that primary.
and the thing about Santorum, he screams of 'she doth protest too much'. He's supercharged-anti-gay, to the point where you kind of start thinking there is a point.
Let the states handle it, unless it would get me elected. Then fuck 'em.

I'm not the smartest guy on politics, but pretty sure president powers are limited. And if he did pull it off via via, shit would hit the fan, fast

Santorum is like a walking talking cartoon caricature of everything the most backwards, ignorant, vengeful, hateful social conservatives would love to see in a leader. He is to socially retrograde bigots what Palin is to gun loving hillbillies.
I bet if you polled every republican in the United States he would be geting a similar percentage that he gets in some of these primaries. While the primary electorate is pretty small it provides a pretty good random sample of the country as a whole.

I really hope he winds up the Republican nominee. Right wingers really need to get this toxic shit out of their system and seeing Santorum go down in flames would be good for them.

Rick Santorum: "Yeaaaaah, down with big government! We can't let them control our lives! Obamacare is the end of us all! They want to control how they live!"
... well, except for homosexuals in same-sex marriages. We can't have that and nobody should have that kind of right."
How can these candidates be such huge hypocrites? It's ridiculous. It scares me that people like that can run for office and be so closed-minded of their constituents.

No, not really. There's some things you joke about this isn't one of them
It's called politics. Gotta love it.

Not every politician is per definition a hypocrite and/or flip-flopper. But it seems that in American politics your chances of success are bigger if you are though...

This guy's got to be a puppet by the Democrats so their candidates looks better. It's the only way it could make any sense.

He won some worthless caucuses to get momentum. Was a smart move for his campaign, but he has yet to win anything where there's real voting.
An upset in Ohio is really the only chance there is for Romney to lose the nomination.
dat consistency.
He has a real chance to win in Ohio, a winner take all state of 66 delegates.

How does a guy like this get anywhere close to being even considered for election?
Some one like this would be ridiculed and removed from politics if it were the UK

Exactly. Santorum is like a dog who pisses itself and rolls around in it. How can we possibly have an enlightening conversation on something like that?
Yep. I have a lot of Republicans in my extended family. They used to be all over the debates and news, now silence.
However the primary turnout isn't that much different than 2008, and Santorum is getting 1/3 the vote.
