Santorum actually uses “but I have black friends” excuse
And suggests someone is trying to bring him down…with his own, unedited remarks.
This is in response to questioning about his recent remarks about welfare and black Americans (“I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them other people’s money.”), Santorum said this:
“I don’t single out on any group of people, that’s one thing I don’t do,” the former Pennsylvania Senator explained to Hannity. “I don’t divide people by group and race and class. I believe that in no people in this country. And I condemn all forms of racism. There’s no one that’s been out here working, as you know, in the inner city, and with people of all different races.”
Santorum added: “I condemn all forms of racism and there’s nobody who has done more as a Republican in the United States Senate to bring African-Americans into the party. Go ask J.C. Watts. Ask Michael Steele. I’ve worked with historically black colleges. I’ve done a ton of stuff. This is just someone trying to cause trouble.”

“Caucuses” is hard to spell
I have a disgusting, “shit-eating grin” joke about Santorum winning tonight somewhere in the darker recesses of my brain.
Ron Paul fanboys are truly the worst.
I’ll be glad when Newt, Michelle, Perry, Cain, et al. fade into (relative) obscurity again.
I really can’t look at these candidates with a straight face. I just can’t. They are all clowns. Are there any sane Republicans left in this country?
This exists: Santorum salad. And yes, there’s a Twitter account already. Sample tweet:
FATHER, WHY DID YOU CREATE ME?

Check this out: “Progressive” is viewed more positively than “conservative” and every other political label in America.
Politicians won’t touch social spending for the middle classed because of people like this. That’s why Republicans are constantly going after all entitlement programs except Medicare and Social Security. They know it’s easier to screw over poor people and middle classed people will cheer them on for doing it.
A good argument why the primary system needs to be reformed. Why should residents of two small, relatively homogeneous states have so much influence over presidential primaries?
