Santorum dips toes in 2012 Iowa waters - Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com

The Pennsylvanian, who lost his 2006 re-election bid, will visit Iowa on October 1st, appearing on a Des Moines radio talk show and speaking to a luncheon and workshop of Iowa’s Right to Life group before heading east to Dubuque, where he’ll headline a fundraiser for the conservative America’s Future Fund PAC and then speak about the future of the GOP to a public audience in the Mississippi River city.

Santorum controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Santorum controversy arose over former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum's statements about homosexuality and the right to privacy in April 2003. In an interview with the Associated Press (AP) taped on April 7, 2003[1] and published April 20, 2003, Santorum stated that he believed consenting adults do not have a Constitutional right to privacy with respect to sexual acts. Santorum described the ability to regulate consensual homosexual acts as comparable to the states' ability to regulate other consensual and non-consensual sexual behaviors, such as adultery, polygamy, child molestation, incest, sodomy and zoophilia (bestiality), whose decriminalization he believed would threaten society and the family, as they are not monogamous and heterosexual.

Bring in the clowns.

"Santorum" is a noun as well as as a politician.

Thanks, Dan.

Thinking people everywhere are applauding this move. Now there is no problem of Letterman, Stewart, Colbert and the rest running out of material. It does mean that there will be one more on the dais who enthusiastically keeps his hand down when asked "do you believe in the theory of evolution?"

I particularly like Thomas Schaller's "7 pieces of advice for Santorum". (From "The War Room").
  1. Please run for president, Rick.
  2. Please "amplify your voice" by taking a higher profile in the Republican Party.
  3. Please distinguish your presidential campaign by staking out strong, unequivocal socially-conservative positions on abortion, evolution, gay rights, global warming and so on.
  4. Please rally the birthers, the health care protesters, the CUFI crowd, and related fringe groups to your side as one big, merry band of crusaders.
  5. Please win the 2012 Republican nomination.
  6. Please pluck television talk show host and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin from non-obscurity by tapping her to be your vice presidential running mate.
  7. Oh, and yeah: Please be gracious during your election night concession speech.
Good times coming. With this idiot "raising his profile" and the "WWF Smackdown" coming between Crist and Rubio in FL, it'll be a lot of fun over the next few years.

Rooting for the oppostion to fail is a blatent sign of complete insecurity.
Do you have nothing else but to root for failures?

Since you golf you know that if failure is in your mind your next shot is going in the water.

It works in life as well.

I guess you never heard of Santorum before.
The guy is dishonest.
The point is he is a total buffoon and we'd love to see him run.

Odd line coming from you. Since rooting for failure is now the GOP's stock in trade.

He could take on Specter and have a 50/50 shot at winning in Pa. But he may want to wait until Casey jr. comes up in a few years.

No, he wouldn't.
We Pennsylvanians lived through Santorum before, we're not going to do it again.
He's dishonest on top of being a religious wackaloon; oops, I was being redundant.

We've lived through Santorum and Specter and now Casey jr. That doesn't speak highly of our voting standards. With all bad choices, somebody still gets elected.
