Progressive Proselytizing: Rick Santorum’s us vs them mentality
During the Arizona CNN Republican debate, Rick Santorum passionately defended two items: earmarks and his voting on No Child Left Behind. The way he defended them demonstrates his hyperpartisan nature. Earmarks (which allow members in Congress to earmark specific projects for spending in larger bills opposed to letting the executive

I admit, I am a political junkie. I enjoy following elections and rarely miss any national level debates whether Canadian or American. Watching the GOP presidential debate on February 22nd in Arizona, I have to say, this is the worse group of candidates any political party has ever put forward
Continue readingArt Threat: Rick Santorum’s gay porn mosaic
Gay news website Unicorn Booty published this beauty of a photo mosaic, featuring Rick Santorum’s headshot composed entirely of gay porn. It may not be the most artistic political portrait out there, but you’d be hard pressed to find one more appropriate. If you want to zoom in for the
Continue readingProgressive Proselytizing: Iran and the CNN Arizona GOP Presidential Debate
CNN Arizona GOP Debate As it often has been in the past, Iran was the principle foreign policy topic discussed in what may well be the last GOP Presidential Debate that we have to suffer through. If it is possible, the hyperbolic, warmongering rhetoric reached a new low. Additional debate

Here’s the latest negative attack ad from the Ron Paul campaign slagging Rick Santorum for not being a “fiscal conservative”… (Seems to have been done by the same agency that created the tough-talking Ford F-150 truck ads.) I suppose one could quibble about specifics of the dubious allegations made if
Continue readingTell us Rick Santorum, what is "burning down here"?
Hilarious (and appropriate) short video of a Santorum speech just last night. I knew you had it in you, Rick.

… according to GOP candidate Rick Santorum… that fount of all things that make me glad that I’m not an American! The guy who makes the entire Harper Cabinet look reasonably sane! The Evangelic moron who… well, you get the picture… Now what else might be targeted by Mr. Evil…

Rick-Santorum3-460×307.jpg Rick Santorum is becoming the anti-science gift that keeps on giving. Yesterday, while speaking in his home state, the former Pennsylvania senator once again tilted at the idea of human caused global warming, saying that it is based on “phony studies,” and really a case of “political science.” This is, you
Continue readingProgressive Proselytizing: Rick Santorum signals the declining relevance of the Tea Party
Rick Santorum’s recent rise to the number one contender spot versus perennial front-runner Mitt Romney has frequently been described as simply being the last in line of a long list of not-Romney flavor of the months. As in, there is nothing particularly special or meaningful in his recent and likely

Remember the Lil Rascals and their He-man Women Haters Club? Well they grew up and helped to launch the conservative movement. In the United States, in the 21st century, GOP presidential hopefuls, are now arguing over the legality of contraception. Can you imagine? Contraception? It’s being labelled a womens issue, but

One Town’s War on Gay Teens | Politics News | Rolling Stone: “Asked on a radio program whether the anti-gay agenda of her ilk bore any responsibility for the bullying and suicides, Barb Anderson, co-author of the original “No Homo Promo,” held fast to her principles, blaming pro-gay groups for

Wearing a matching sweater vest, Foster Friess, the billionaire investor backing Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum’s frothy campaign to be Theocrat-in-Chief of the Free World, introduces his pet candidate at CPAC 2012: After opening with a mildly amusing joke at the expense of Mitt Romney, Friess goes on to observe
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Santorumentum!
Def: The frothy mix of media hype and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of non-binding Republican primary victories. How sad is it that a moronic theocrat like Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum is viewed by a majority of Republican primary voters in the heartland of America as a

501px-Rick_Santorum_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg Conservatism is a political philosophy that is, at its most fundamental, about resisting change. So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that an outrageous and absurd line uttered about global warming in 2003—Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe’s assertion that it is the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”—has not, nearly

Looks like the folks at Bad Lip Reading (BLR) got their mojo back after a few duds following the priceless Rick Perry BLR, “Save a pretzel for the gas jets”… Maybe it helps if the subject is stark raving mad to begin with. Just a theory. p.s. Sorry for being
Continue readingIs Rick Santorum the essence of Compassionate Conservatism?
Sometimes I feel bad calling conservatives names and pointing out their rank hypocrisy, greed and utter self-absorption. Then I see something like this. Here’ GOP presidential wannabe Rick Santorum lecturing a mother who expressed concern to him about the cost of her son’s medication. “People have no problem paying $900

Where do they dig up these cretins? I mean, is it really possible that in the 21st century these guys can be the front runners of one of America’s two mainstream parties to be the next president? Seriously? On the bright side, I can’t see how the Republicans can possibly

At a rally in Florida the other day, a disgruntled bigot drew enthusiastic applause from a crowd of likeminded Republican tools when she claimed that Obama is “an avowed Muslim… who has no legal right to be calling himself president.” Standing silently at the podium, Rick Santorum tacitly condoned her

When Newt Gingrich and the Republicans stole the Mid-terms in 1994, Gingrich gave much of the credit to Preston Manning and the Reform Party. Manning’s lieutenantt at the time was Stephen Harper. In the contest for the Republican presidential candidacy, Newt Gingrich was a long shot, but that shot just
