Inspiring Fear or Hope? Santorum’s Doomsday Warning to Voters

He is WAY too extreme for me. I have no choice but to go with Obama this election.

Christians are not supposed to judge, that’s God’s job. Blessed are the Poor in Spirit and the Haughty.

Unbelievable! This guy will say anything just to get nominated. And there are actually people that supported what he is saying. What a complete idiot and clown!

Great job repeating Santorum’s hyperbole. Where’s the factual context for framing his rhetoric? Does ABC employ journalists? Or public relations parrots? This is a classic example of how weak and ineffective mainstream journalism (to use the term loosely) has become. Wheres the fact that Santorum’s wife had prenatal screening that resulted in a second-trimester abortion? Where’s the fact that Santorum’s description of “factory schools” comes straight out of history books and has little resemblance to the thousands of public charters schools springing up all over the country to address the needs of diverse learning styles? Get off your asses and do your research!

Equally we are here to rape the world of its resources without a doubt according to santorum-because just a keen eye to ecology would show we(man) has done just so and are already suffering the effects of ill policies never heeding the ecological disastrous effects. Santorum is a man that should know as a Miner’s prodigy, the effects of ecologically disastrous policies but, there is the reason and the excuse for santorum insanity and the reason santorum belongs in the sanitorium, should have been sterilized from having children long ago, the miner’s curse of toxic effects on his own sperm has resulted in the prodigy you see before you today, and pumping out his own horrendous affected sperm. That is why santorum is so affected by this topic-he knows it in his heart, and blames his ironic familial ecological disastrous past for the spawning of his children with disability and death, as per the BIBLICAL teachings!! Santorum has learned, and now wants all of America to experience what Santorum has lived through, in toxic familial reproductive HARMS!!!

I don’t understand what they think the President is doing to “fundamentally restructure America.” — Nothing much has changed in the last 3 years. Virtually al the things they are mad at were already in place before then. And yet somehow Obama is the anti-Christ? What world do these peope live in?

Where was this nut case in “07 & 08 “,oh yeah,he’s the reason we’re in this Recession . Thanks but no thanks , we’re not going back, so Republicans can finish putting this nation into a full blown “Depression ” .We’ll do a lot better not listening to these NAZI ideology .

And yet somehow Obama is the anti-Christ?

Which flavor of Christian is Santorum? Michelle Bachmann’s sect, the Evangelical Lutherans, believe the Pope is the anti-Christ…..

Watched V for Vendetta last night, one of my favorite films.
Mr. Santorum is exactly what this film is about. Crazed religious zealot using fear to gain power.

WOW, And this guy thinks he can be President? It seems as if the Republicans want us to go back to the future,at first just the 1950′s,then the 1850′s but now I think it is the 1750′s….he wants to take education from a Federal level to local,meaning in Texas the public schools will be teaching the bible and nothing else.And he’s a Catholic,didn;t the Republican party used to warn us about them….or is it just Catholics that are Democrats?

“He accused Obama Sunday of trying to “cull the ranks of the disabled” by requiring prenatal screenings,”

This is a subtle error in phrasing, and a huge one in practice – the administrations plan does _not_ require prenatal screenings, it requires insurance plans to cover the _cost_ of them (subject to copays, I imagine) just like other medical expenses. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has recommended for many years that pregnant women be _offered_ the option of prenatal screenings, as the president’s plan does (and indeed, failing to do so would likely be viewed as malpractice today), but women always have the choice of whether to have such screening or not.

“Rhetoric”? Nice journalism abc. Gas is almost 4 bucks a gallon. we’ve had enough of the fool in the whitehouse despite your partisan hatchet job by Shushannah Walshe and Amy Bingham.

Extremism in any form is bad, Santorum is no exception. He needs to tone down his rhetoric and stop spewing his own extremist rhetoric. If this guy gets elected Women will have no rights. Husbands and wives will be forced to give birth to a child no matter the cost (emotional and financial). Prenatal screenings are helpful but Santorum would lead you to believe that the only thing they lead to are abortions. I am disappointed in the republican party and their pool of candidates. Is this the best we have Obama and the pool or republican candidates?????

According to most of these posts, people are wise enough to see right through Santorum’s rhetoric and see his evil, divisive, fear mongering intent. Only staunch Dittoheads are brainwashed enough to actually believe that he should be considered for the presidency. God help poor people, minorities and women if anyone like him should become our President. Anyone like him who tries to separate the word ‘theology’ from religion represents the epitome of deceit. He can’t find anything truly wrong with Obama, so he resorts to inventing things just like Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Michael Savage. They can’t utter a single sentence without including some degree of misinformation or juvenile name calling They should ALL (including Santorum) be indited for slander or libel. They are creating civil wounds that may take generations to heal because they care more about destroying Obama than improving the plight of our nation. Thank God for reasonable and fair-minded Americans of good will, fairness and honesty ! !

Santorum to the Sanatorium.

Go Santorum!! Considering that the extremist thats in the Whitehouse now is driving up inflation and destroying our economy, it’ll be nice to have a competent president for a change. Though we’ll be lucky to afford the gas to get to the polls if obama has his way.

Positive?! He was not blaring any positive message at all! How can he say such a thing when his speech was nothing but rhetoric?! Sorry, but Santorum is not getting my vote if he happens to get the nomination. It is he, Santorum, who is the one with plans to turn this nation into a theocracy, not Obama.

I think the GOP just hires a large group of people to follow around the Neocon Candidate of the week to make it look like they actually have a following.

Each of you now owes $49,000 in government debt, as does each member of your family. When Obama took office, it was $32,000. When Bush took office, it was $18,000. If you think Santorum is blowing smoke, then you’re not paying attention. Our government debt will destroy the USA.

Mr. Sanctum San(c)torum has started sermonizing in a stupendously serious way and we call this religious demagoguery. This wacko will need to be silenced at the polls, and made to bite the dust so he will not get up. If he does, he will start spewing more venom, like there is no tomorrow. It appears the whole GOP field is filled w/ evil ideologies. Heaven bless America!

Troy: “Constant comparisons to Catholic doctrine can be no good for this country of “diversity”.” ————- This is why I said Santorum will turn this nation into a theocracy. Sprouting out his religious views and doctrine like that shows where he stands. He wants to dictate legislation based on religious views and doctrine.

Sad day for the republicans that have fallen behind the weakest candidate of the field all because he’s a right-wing Christian. Romney is obviously has a much better chance at obama, but evangelical bigots would rather lose than vote for Romney.

Did he forget or leave it out on purpose that the republicans did not want to get involved in war world 11 until Pearl Harbor.

Another film about a dystopic American future under a fundamentalist government: The Handmaid’s Tale, an adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel. No thanks Rick.

And yet sometime sooner or later, mommy and daddy have to turn off the dvd player and we need to live in reality instead of “make believe land”…No fundamentalism, no crazed zealotry and with president obama no hope and no future..Go Santorum or Romney!!!

Be afraid republicans. Only your freaky far side of right hero’s can save our nation from great doom. I totally believe the studies any more about the differences between liberals and conservatives. Especially that part about conservatives being more fearful. Those running are counting on it.

Talk about ‘preaching to the choir’. Fear mongering to a mentality that believes in ‘gloom and doom, apocalyptic end of the world” garbage anyways. Just more negative, divisive rhetoric. LOL….and the only thing it is doing is tearing the GOP apart as more positive, progressive, educated, intelligent moderates and independents distance themselves from the “Party of the Past”. Keep up the good work Santorum. LOL…LOL

Actually, I’m beginning to like this guy. He’s right about the Obama Administration attack on religious freedom. He’s right about the mediocrity of our state sponsored monopolistic education system. He’s right when he says government sponsored crony capitalism has become a pervasive cancer within our society. He’s right when he says Obama’s view of Christianity has been skewed by the likes of Jeremiah Wright. It’s about time someone had the guts, the forthrightness and courage to stand up to the bullies now running the show. The media, however is going to just crucify him; doubt he’ll be able to rise up after they succeed. Hopefully, he will win enough converts who will continue the battle for him.

LOL…which “media” BUBBLERDAD? LOL…the ‘liberal media’ that all right wingers label and demonize so much, won’t even get a chance to ‘touch him’ after he gets skewered by Romney’s super packs. LOL…LOL This is in reference to your 7:09 post.

BUBBLERDAD: You answered the question. Very good.

This guy just gets scarier by the minute!!

The GOP is really in trouble. Iwas listening to one of their ‘old dogs’ in their so called ‘leadership camp’ this morning and he was ‘bemoaning the fact’ that Romney was having to spend all his money ‘beating back’ someone in his own Party. Money they will desperately need for the general election. BUT the one thing he would not (and none of those hypocrites will) is what this ‘internal fight’ is doing to theiir Party and the devestating effect it will have when that “FAULT LINE SPLITS” it. And trust me…it will. LOL…and the GOP will then be left to conduct an “extreme(less)makeover” of their Party. LOL…LOL

i cannot beleive this creature who calls himself a christian.the man should really be committed to be evaluated before he hurts someone.i have never heard anyone like him.to compare our president to hitler to me is an act of being a traitor.i am not saying that our president has actually done the greatest but considering the circumstances when he took office and the way the repulbican congress has acted i think that he has done pretty well.should the repulbican party let this moron continue the way he has been talking will definately set the stage for four more years of democrat control

Well… that’s one way of looking at things, I guess…

Wow, not really sure what to say about Mr. Santorum’s rant. His ‘message’ was so convoluted. This country has many issues to deal with in the coming election. I am not sure why Republicans are making one’s Christianity the forefront issue of their platform, but it should be most Americans LEAST concern. Arguing about making birth control available to US citizens is ridiculous. Jobs, health care and economic growth are the most important issues facing this country. If the Republicans want a White House win, they had better change their tune immediately. The population centers of the coastal states are much more metropolitan and sophisticated in their thinking; pandering to the Bible Belt is not going to win the election. That basic advice to the Republican Party came from Richard Nixon.

“How many independent voters would choose Obama if they based their vote on the left wing comments in these posts. Liberals scare the crap out of me.

*********************************************************************************************************************

Interesting. Since not a single post before you is whacked. Carry on being afraid of liberals though.

The problems that Santorum talked about existed long before Obama became president. What could he possibly do that’s any better than Obama or his predecessors?

Imagine Michelle Bachmann as Rick Santorum’s running mate. That would be an Apocalypse

Sorry, Banderman, but true stupidity would be believing in and a voting for that wackadoodle Santorum. Any presidential candidate who has come out and said that there really is no right to privacy in this country and feels that HIS ideas about MY reproductive choices are what’s best scares the crap out of me. And it should scare the crap out of you, too. All you who support Santorum should definitely be careful what you wish for.

This joker is playing to the dumbest of the simpletons. Who would swallow such shallow juvenile tripe as what comes out of his mouth? How can these so-called evangelical Christians live with themselves?! If Jesus were alive I am quite sure he would kick this mans arse.

Santorum’s self-righteous, intolerant, hypocritical rhetoric is winning him supporters because his words are music to the ears of the religious bigots in our country (the anyone, but Romney voters)!

Use the word “World View”, “vineyard”, and “Theology” and see how their ears perk up. Then speak in an angry voice, while condemning people who have a different ideology and they are all yours!!!

Santorum— the wolf in sheeps clothing!

Hey Rick go to your nearest detox center immediately, before you start to hallucinate that the sky is falling____oh wait, is that Henny Penny? Run Rick Run…..

High unemployment , too high underemployment , high gas prices with inflation to follow shortly. Santorum go it wrong obama is more like the weak kneed Neville Chamberlain in the face of Iran and China. NO Doubt whatsover that whether its romney or santorum there will thankfully be a new potus in office next year.

Hmm…maybe he’d have a chance if he didn’t speak like the ANTICHRIST….

Sanatorum, if elected, will take America to a Sanatorium. This demagogic Christian garners the ignorant and the hypocrites. There is a real that it is not the fantasy of religion. As these Christians view the world as an evil, they cannot see who they are, the same evil. We should dread religious fanatics–would a nation of Christian fanatics be any different from a nation of islamic fanatics? Reality and Rationality in politics.

This guy could take Glen Beck’s place in a heart beat.

I thought Michelle Bachmann was a natural “piece of work.” I was wrong. SanITARIUM beats her by leaps and bounds. Leave it to him and he’ll take us back to the DARK AGES! Real scary person.

Too bad that the GOP candidates are stooping to emotionalism and fearmongering. Doesn’t Santorum have anything positive to say?

Santorum??? who would vote for this clown. all he is, is a white Obama and he’s not even as good of a manipulator. How he has any support I’ll never know. Only one real candidate and that is Ron Paul in 2012

Let’s see. . . the party that wants to cut Aid to Families with Dependent Children, cut education, cut children’s health insurance, cut food stamps, cut Social Security and Medicare so they can afford to cut taxes on the wealthy — and THEY’RE supposed to be the ones who care about the unborn?

I’m just waiting for Santorum’s head to start spinning!

wow! santorum is really out there. not an obama fan but painting obama in the same category as hitler or any of the axis powers of ww2 is way, way out there. insane really. if anything everytime santorum speaks, and it becomes public, another voter jumps away from him and toward another candidate or even obama. santorum is ensuring obama’s re-election. it appears santorum only appeals to the extreme right wing and religious right. santorum does not have mass appeal, at all.

Oh, I don’t care if Romney is the nom, I vote gladly for him, but if any of the other religious zealots are nominated, I RUN to the polls to vote Obama…and I hate to have to run to vote Obama as I really don’t like him, but hate far far wacko right religious nutjobs even more!

0bama has always paralleled Adolf Hitler in every way. 0bama is wanna be Hitler. But I see him as a crackhead.

Great Post BubblerDad.
What really scares these loonie libs is that Santorum is right.
So the lefties will do their best “Sarah Palin” on the guy and attack him and religion all the while ignoring the content of the message. Martin Luther King would be embarrassed by this current crop of Demos.

“If this dude keeps sounding like a lunatic somebody’s gonna lock him up. Please somebody — lock him up!” – LadyB2012

You cannot lock up the President of the United States even if he is a lunatic.

Why is Jerry Seinfield pretending to be a crazy Republican guy running for President?

LOL funny how all the people who voted for and will be voting for O’drama don’t see the real picture here, since they’ve already been too dumbed down and brainwashed by the education system and the mainstream media. Have fun being slaves to the few elites once the One World Government they’re longing for has taken over! Ron Paul 2012, or America will die. FIND THE FACTS FOR YOURSELF PEOPLE

So, Rick Santorum just Godwin’d the Republic Primary. Awesome!

Rick Santorum lost his last election by 15 points. He would lose by about the same in a national election. He proved to be very corrupt and in the pockets of lobbyists as a Senator. Not that the Democrats are much better about corruption. They have figured out that its best not to attack Santorum to much as there is no purpose to injure him before he gets on the national ticket. We are seeing the Republican Ticket Romney/Santorum in 2012. On another note , the FY13 Obama budget cuts a critical position from every Natiional Weather Service Forecast Office. This position, The ITO, keeps your local forecast office functioning so the Weather Service can deliver forecasts and warnings of huricaanes, tornados, and even Tsunamis to keep you and your family safe. Please write your congress man and ask them to restore the cuts to the NWS budget. This will be a horrible impact to all of us.

We should remember the 1930’s in Europe. Big depression and the militarization of Germany and Italy. The preparation for WW2.Propaganda was the No. 1 tool to achieve power.Today, 2012, a big Recession (for too many a big Depression) and the Nazis and fascist using the No. 1 tool PROPAGANDA are in the way of start the WW3.Remember that U.S.A. is the supreme world Power and is up to us to dictate the course of the next History. If the Republicans: Nazis and Fascist will take power there will be the destruction of our Democracy, WE THE PEOPLES will become, we the Slaves. If the American people are so dumb not to understand why this NEONAZISM want to control our country……THEY DESERVE IT. But I will fight until my last breath to stop these Criminals. I was 3 month old when the Allied bombed my town, and I don’t wish this anybody. We have fought the Communist and won, we have defeated once before the Neo-Nazi and we will defeat them again.
GOD BLESS THE UNITES STATES of AMERICA

Hey Bush win. It’s called the Jesus factor. Go to PBS.org and see how street smart but functional illiterate Bush it to amuse those idiot Christians to win the whitehouse and win one for his father. Santorum is using the same technique.
