Former Sen. Rick Santorum is gearing up for his 2012 presidential bid with humdingers like this one:
Rick Santorum: "The question is, and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that human life a person under the constitution?" and Barack Obama says no. Well if that human life is not a person then I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say 'now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.”
The Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody is salivating:
Love him or hate him let’s be clear about Rick Santorum. He doesn’t hold back. He doesn’t mince words and conservative Christians and Catholics find this quality to be his best attribute. If and when he dives into the 2012 GOP mosh pit, he’s going to be the guy that won’t hold back and in the process he’ll put some of these other 2012 contenders on the spot by bringing up issues that everybody whispers about but rarely talks about in public.
Awesome! Santorum will bring his bizarre mix of views on race and culture war issues to an electorate that doesn't care about anything but JOBS. It should make the GOP primary season extra frothy.
