And this candidate will self destruct.... Rick Santorum is running again. |
I wasn't even thinking about him. And like so many Republicans jumping into the clown car, Rick Santorum is once again going to be the last man out.
So Go Go Gadget Santorum....
In Pennsylvania, the former senator once again believes he can win the nomination and carry forth his rigid ass to the White House. He wants to drive that raggedy truck across the many counties of Iowa in hopes to win the Caucus again.
The AP reports that the former Pennsylvania senator may have exceeded his own expectations by scoring a second-place finish in the race for the Republican presidential nomination four years ago. Yet as he enters a more powerful and diverse 2016 field, he may struggle even to qualify for the debate stage in his second run.
"I am proud to stand here, among you and for you, the American workers who have sacrificed so much, to announce that I am running for president of the United States," the 57-year-old senator said, flanked by factory workers and six of his seven children in a cinderblock warehouse near his western Pennsylvania hometown.
"The last race, we changed the debate. This race, with your help and God's grace, we can change this nation."
Santorum opens this political season as a heavy underdog in a race expected to feature more than a dozen high-profile Republicans — most of them newcomers to presidential politics. He is among the nation's most prominent social conservatives, having dedicated much of his political career to opposing same-sex marriage and abortion rights, while advocating for conservative Christian family values.
He mentioned cultural issues briefly on Wednesday in remarks designed to broaden his appeal to working-class Americans. "As president, I will stand for the principle that every life matters — the poor, the disabled and the unborn," said Santorum, a Catholic.
The biggest dork (or I meant dick) to run for higher office. |
He ultimately won 11 states in the GOP's 2012 primary election after an unexpected and narrow victory in the opening contest in Iowa, where he emerged as a conservative favorite after touring the state's 99 counties in a pickup truck.
His road to relevancy this time won't be easy.
"It's going to be much more competitive," said Foster Friess, a prominent donor who was standing near the podium during Wednesday's announcement.
Santorum has acknowledged his challenges in 2016, but says his experience could pay dividends the second time around. Most of the GOP's recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and President Ronald Reagan among them, needed more than one campaign to win the nomination.
Let it be known that this clown is a bible thumper. He wants to put the Bible back in the government.
He faces considerable competition for his party's social conservatives in particular. The list of Republicans already courting religious voters includes former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist pastor who won the Iowa caucuses in 2008, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Texas Stallmigo Ted Cruz. And like Santorum, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is a Catholic.
If he was to take on terrorism, he will annihilate Muslims and those icky dictators.
He doesn't want to make "The Blah" people live better. He believes "The Blah" people are living comfortably on food stamps and welfare.
SANTORUM READY! |
He called Obama a "snob" for wanting everyone to go to college. Even though the president didn't say that, he stuck to his guns. And Santorum also had called the president the anti-war "ni-ugh"
Santorum has acknowledged his challenges in 2016, but says his experience could pay dividends the second time around. Most of the GOP's recent presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and President Ronald Reagan among them, needed more than one campaign to win the nomination.
Santorum is a perennial candidate like Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee and potential runner Rick Perry.
Each of them failed to beat Barack Obama.
What gives them the notion that they'll survive the primaries?
Inspect Gadget would make a better candidate for the Republican nomination. Gadget would be a better choice than this bible thumping turd.
So if you're looking for entertainment, look forward to hearing the many stupid comments coming out of Santorum.
