Let's take a moment and recap all of the bizarre and twisted things Santorum has said:
1. In regards to women in the military and the toll that would have on male soldiers: “My concern is that being in combat in that situation, instead of being focused on the mission, they might be more concerned about protecting a woman in a vulnerable position.”
2. His take on gay marriage: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can't love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?"
3. His thoughts on diversity (one of the things I thought America was supposed to celebrate): “Diversity creates conflict. If we celebrate diversity, we create conflict.”
4. His take on black people...I mean...minorities: "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."
It seems like each GOP candidate this go round has had their 15 minutes of crazy. Cain quoted Pokemon and tried to cover up vast numbers of women who somehow didn't find his sliminess flattering; Bachmann with her wild eyes thought maybe telling a flat out lie (which she had no way of backing up) about the HPV vaccine would somehow go unnoticed; Romney's numerous whiny moments (saying over the weekend that Obama and Santorum have played dirty tricks...oh grow up) and flip-floppings and not understanding his own views on a bill enough to answer a simple question from the audience regarding birth control; and who can forget Perry's "whoops" after failing to name the three branches he wanted to change during the debate? Not to mention his other drunken sounding yammerings...
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON GINGRICH---people with mental disabilities and out-of-control personality disorders should not be President....
The list goes on an on.
But now I have heard it all. A presidential candidate who is actually saying COLLEGE IS BAD???? How is this possible??
Santorum: "President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob."
Yeah...wanting what is best for people...giving them the tools for a better future...PUH!
Santorum: "There are good decent men and women; who go out and work hard every day; and put their skills to test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them."
....sometimes there really are just no words. It's almost like he realized everyone else was hogging all of the crazy and he needed to make up for it...big time. The scene from the Hamlet parody episode of The Simpsons comes to mind where Lisa plays Ophelia and shouts out to the dining hall, "Nobody out-crazies Ophelia!" and jumps out of the window into the river below.
Santorum: "Oh, I understand why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his."
His image? Meaning what exactly? Am I mistaken or hasn't Santorum gotten upset with liberals in the past for dissing the wealthy? You know, not the people who have actually worked for their money...but the ones who have simply just been given wealth without working a day in their life and getting all of the breaks? Weren't there things being said along the lines of "why shouldn't we look up to people who have found success?" Well Santorum...Obama went to college and now he is President of the United States...something you will probably never (I pray) achieve...I'd say he is very successful.
Santorum also mentioned how some people are just good with their hands...isn't it MORE snobish to say that some people are just not cut out for higher education??
And, pardon me...but didn't SANTORUM go to college?
All I have to say is Obama better win re-election because the GOP is full of Looney-Toons, Santorum being no exception.
