Rick Santorum Says Trayvon's Case Should Be Left To Southern Justice

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says the shooting of an unarmed teenager in an Orlando, Fla., suburb was "horrible" and that the case is, in his words, a "chilling example of the horrible decisions made by people in this process."

Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot Feb. 26 while walking through a neighborhood in the suburb of Sanford.

The admitted shooter, George Zimmerman, 28, has claimed self-defense and invoked Florida's' "Stand Your Ground" law. The law gives people wide latitude to use deadly force instead of retreating during a fight, and explains why Zimmerman has not been arrested.

Said Santorum: "Stand your ground is not doing what this man did."

But when asked if the Justice Department should investigate, Santorum said that should be left to local and state authorities.

Pastor Preaches Klan Like Christian

"I don't care what the liberals say, I don't care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words.. Listen to me, If you don't love America, If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT. We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God's son Jesus Christ."

In a revival type speech, Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Rev. Dennis Terry introduced Family Research Council president Tony Perkins and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Christians, according to Rev. Terry, are the conscience of the state and even the key to turning the economy around. The pastor offered some pointed words about abortion, gay marriage, and prayer in schools, shouting about 'sexual perversion' and putting God back in Washington, D.C., as Senator Santorum was seen clapping, if not cheering, in the background.

Santorum Doesn't Care About The Unemployed, As Long As He Get The Job Of President

When Mitt Romney said he liked to fire people, he was talking about having a choice as a consumer between health insurers. But boy did it come out wrong.

On Monday, Rick Santorum had two similar moments while campaigning in Illinois. At his first event of the day in Rockford, Santorum said that "the issue in this race is not the economy."

Santorum was trying to argue that health care is the bigger issue because the government is taking over too much of the economy, and that is the larger reason why the economy is struggling. But the comment reinforced the image of Santorum as a politician more interested in social issues than in whether Americans without jobs can find work.

Then, Monday afternoon here in Moline, Santorum made an even more jarring comment, again when talking about health care.

"I don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. It doesn't matter to me," Santorum said. "My campaign doesn't hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates. There's something more foundational that's going on here."

Rick Santorum Is A Homophobe

Two men who kissed one another were kicked out of presidential candidate Rick Santorum's rally Friday evening at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights.

Santorum was 15 minutes into his speech when the two men shouted and got the attention of the crowd. They exchanged a kiss, prompting guards to eject them and the crowd to chant "U-S-A" while they were leaving the gym.

When asked whether the kiss was a public display of affection or merely a symbolic act, Timothy Tross of Lombard and Ben Clifford of Algonquin, declined to comment.

"I don't think the message should be about what my sexuality is," Tross said. "It's the message that he's saying about sexuality that matters."

Southern Whites Call President A Muslim, Cause They Can't Call Him A Nigga.

Ask President Barack Obama about his religious affiliation, and he's a Christian. Ask Mississippi or Alabama voters, and you might find a different answer.

In the midst of tight GOP primaries in both states, Public Policy Polling (PPP) has released information showing that a majority of likely GOP primary voters in the Deep South do not see Obama as a Christian. PPP's Alabama survey of 600 likely GOP primary voters found that only 14 percent consider Obama a Christian, while 45 percent said he is a Muslim and 41 percent answered that they were not sure.

A similar picture surfaced in Mississippi. Of 656 likely GOP primary voters surveyed, 12 percent said Obama was a Christian, 52 percent classified him as a Muslim, and 36 percent fell in the "not sure" category.

The survey emerges on the heels of a recent stream of public questioning regarding Obama's religion. Back on Feb. 18, Rick Santorum took aim at the president's beliefs, charging that his White House decisions are driven by a "different theology."

Rick Santorum Changed To Win Heart Of Far-Right GOP

David Vondercrone doesn't remember sharing his fraternity house with a besieged conservative student. He remembers his former Penn State frat brother -- and current GOP presidential contender -- Rick Santorum as a regular poker player.

"I played a lot of basketball with him and a lot of poker with him," Vondercrone tells The Huffington Post.
Long before he was a leading presidential candidate who had assumed the identity of a culture warrior, Santorum was just another fraternity brother at Tau Epsilon Phi. "He wasn't so outspoken," Vondercrone says. "It seems to be his identity in the race right now. I didn't think of him as that way ... We talked about sports, our classes."

Rick Santorum Say Just Blame It On The Black Man

Rick Santorum told a story Monday morning of a recent trip to Tioga, N.D., a burgeoning oil town that he said reminded him of a very far-off place, for which he blamed the Obama administration's regulators.

"It's a boom town. They're drilling everywhere. They're being overwhelmed by the growth there. But you can't find a builder to come in and build homes. You can't find anybody to invest in Tioga, North Dakota. Why? Because they're afraid the government's going to shut it down," Santorum said.

Builders, Santorum contended, "don't want to risk it. So they're building temporary structures that feel like you're in Afghanistan, because investors are afraid of what government might do."

College Is An Indoctrination Mill, So Be A Dummy Like Rick Santorum.

Making the rounds of the Sunday news shows, Rick Santorum reaffirmed his criticism of President Barack Obama as "a snob" for supporting a platform of universal higher education.

The former Pennsylvania senator argued that Obama's encouragement of students to go to college ignored both the reality and ambitions of those who wanted to pursue more technical careers. In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," he sounded a more conspiratorial note. Two days after calling colleges "indoctrination mills," Santorum suggested that the president's encouragement of college degrees was a back-door effort at philosophical base building.

"Barack Obama is a person of the left," he said. "He is someone who believes in big government. He believes in the values that are, unfortunately, the dominant values, and political values, and overly politicized values, and politically correct values that are on most college and university campuses."

Like Most White America, Rick Santorum Can't Admit When Their Wrong.

Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum accused President Barack Obama of "weakness" on Sunday for apologizing to the Islamic world over the U.S. military's recent burning of Qurans in Afghanistan.

The destruction of copies of the Muslim holy book has outraged much of the international Islamic community, and Obama apologized for what the American government has described as the inadvertent disposal of Qurans in a fire. Santorum's latest rhetorical attack on the president follows his recent questioning of Obama's religion, in which Santorum claimed Obama subscribes to a "phony theology."

During a Sunday appearance on ABC News, Santorum said that Obama should not have apologized for the holy book destruction because the U.S. military had only accidentally burned Qurans. Santorum then added that Obama's apology, rather than the actual burning of Qurans, was hurting both the image of America abroad and the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan.

Mitt Romney Gets Endorsement From America Most Disrespectful Governor.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer endorsed Mitt Romney ahead of her state's Republican presidential primary on Tuesday.

"I think he's the man that can carry the day," Brewer said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Mitt is by far the person that can go in and win."

Brewer says she had looked at all the candidates and decided to endorse the former Massachusetts governor because his business background appealed to her.

"I think that he handles himself very very well, he has that pro-business background, he has that political history, that he would serve America the best of all the candidates," Brewer said.

Rick Santorum Hides His True Faith To Win Votes, While Attacking Presidents Obama On His.

Rick Santorum's political good fortune in the Republican presidential primaries has come about in large part because of his appeal to evangelicals. A Roman Catholic, he is a beneficiary of more than two decades of cooperation between conservative Protestants and Catholics who set aside theological differences for the common cause of the culture war.

Doctrine – and anti-Catholic bias – once split Protestants and Catholics so bitterly that many evangelical leaders worked to defeat John F. Kennedy because of his religion. When Kennedy sought to confront suspicion about his Catholicism, he made his now-famous faith speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, a group of evangelical Protestants in Texas. Five decades later, when some prominent evangelical leaders gathered at a Texas ranch to discuss backing a 2012 GOP candidate, Santorum was their choice.

Here We Go With This Bull Again,Whites Are Not Only Christians In America.

Evangelist Franklin Graham called President Barack Obama's religious views into question on Tuesday, stating that he does not know for sure if Obama is a Christian.

Graham, who is the son of Billy Graham and the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Obama "has said he's a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is."

"All I know is I'm a sinner, and God has forgiven me of my sins... you have to ask every person," he said about whether he could say for sure that Obama is indeed of the Christian faith.

Rick Santorum Talks Down To The 99%

Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum clashed with Tacoma Occupy protesters Monday night during his first visit to a state he said would be a "momentum changer" heading into Super Tuesday.

Minutes into Santorum's speech, protesters began chanting and shouting. They rarely stopped over the next half-hour.


"I think it's really important to understand what this radical element represents," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told hundreds of supporters gathered outside the Washington Historical Museum. "What they represent is true intolerance."

Santorum Is Now The GOP New White Savor Against The Black Anti- Christ.

 Bathed in the candlelight of a Romanesque Texas church and framed at the altar by golden stained glass, Rick Santorum told a group of Dallas-area pastors Wednesday that he saw no boundary between faith and public life and that he "could not and would not leave my faith at the door" as he sought the presidency.

Then, as if in thanks, the pastors in the Bella Donna Adriatica Chapel in McKinney, Texas, gathered around Santorum in the church's central aisle for a laying-on of hands. "Get a hand on Rick, or get a hand on someone who has a hand on Rick," said the host.

Surrounding him like a pious rugby scrum, they prayed that God would direct the former Pennsylvania senator's steps as he seeks the Republican nomination.

Santorum Wins Nothing, But Talks The Coded Language Of GOP Racism

And what a great made-for-TV story it is, too. A neck-snapping turnaround for the former senator from Pennsylvania, who had peaked in Iowa five weeks ago and promptly disappeared. Lacking money and organization, he finished out of the money in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and Nevada.

Now he roars back and wins big in Missouri and Minnesota, two middle-sized states that might claim to speak for the mainstream of the Midwest. Even more impressive is his narrower win in Colorado, a Western state Mitt Romney had won in 2008.

But wait! Some other news sources — not locked in the life-and-death struggle of cable news — say it was all meaningless. No delegates were chosen or committed or bound (or whatever it is they do with delegates at this stage of the game).

How can that be? It's one thing to be told at midnight that a race is too close to call. That's suspenseful, and suspense is good for keeping us all up and watching. But it's another thing entirely to be told a race, however close, is essentially meaningless.

Is Today Rick Santorum 'Little Bighorn'. It's Do or Get Out.

His aides say otherwise, but this essentially is decision week for Rick Santorum.

His hope of staying at all relevant in the GOP presidential race rests on winning one or more of Tuesday's primaries, and on somehow causing a sensation at this weekend's meeting of conservatives in Washington. If he can't manage to do either of those things, it's hard to see how he continues -- even though, his aides insist, he is running a lean campaign with a low "burn rate" and a decent amount of cash on hand.

So far, the high point of the former senator's campaign has been Iowa, where he spent two years scratching and crawling his way to what turned out to be a 34-vote, recounted victory.

But the dogged (if not delusional) Pennsylvania Republican shows no signs of quitting -- and he is poised to make a brief semi-return to the limelight tonight with credible showings in three states: Minnesota and Colorado (which are holding caucuses) and Missouri, which is holding a non-binding "beauty pageant" primary.

GOP Speak Their True Feeling about Black People.

Most of the "Sh-- People Say" videos that have sprung up in recent weeks involve actors mocking -- and, often, exaggerating -- the types of statements they associate with various groups. But when it comes to things Republican politicians says about and to the black community, there's no need for a script or embellishment. Jezebel has pulled together real-life clips of quotes from everyone from Romney to Cain that make more of a statement than any spoof could.

Many of these gems will (unfortunately) sound familiar:

"Not all cultures are equal."

"I don't want to make black people's lives better."

"Who let the dogs out?"

"I didn't say that ... people said I said 'black' ... I didn't."

"We have the ability when we recognize that something is wrong to change it ... we no longer have slavery. That's a good thing."

"A third of the black people in this country, at least, are thinking for themselves."

"I know this from my own experience that blacks are not the greatest swimmers."

And there are more where those came from. By the end of the 2012 presidential race, there will probably be enough for a feature-length film

Rick Santorum said Monday he doesn't see the need to correct audience members who make misstatements. His comment came after a woman critical of President Obama at a forum misidentified the president as Muslim

The woman told Santorum, "He is an avowed Muslim and my question is, why isn't something being done to get him out of our government?" Santorum responded: "Believe me ... I'm doing everything I can to get him out of the government."

Rick Santorum says to woman that are rape should accept baby as a gift from God.

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum explained his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape during an interview Friday, saying that women who face such circumstances should "make the best out of a bad situation."

Asked by CNN's Piers Morgan what he would do if his own daughter approached him, begging for an abortion after having been raped, Santorum explained that he would counsel her to "accept this horribly created" baby, because it was still a gift from God, even if given in a "broken" way

Southern whites pick New Grand Wizard in Newt Gingrich.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was projected the winner of South Carolina's primary election on Saturday by MSNBC.

Going into the contest, the presidential contender was riding a wave of momentum and surged ahead of rival candidate Mitt Romney in the polls.

"Thank you South Carolina!" Gingrich wrote on Twitter. "Help me deliver the knockout punch in Florida."
Romney was projected to finish in second place on Saturday night. Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum was projected to finish in third with U.S. Ron Paul in fourth.

Romney scored a win in New Hampshire's primary election earlier this month. After the initial results came in following the Jan. 3 Iowa caucus, the former Massachusetts governor was believed to have won the Hawkeye State event by 8 votes. More than two weeks later; however, the final certified tally showed Santorum finishing in first place.

Curtis Loftis, chair of Romney's South Carolina campaign, told ABC News, "We never thought it was going to be three and out" and added, "We always thought it was going to be a long haul."
Gingrich placed fourth in both New Hampshire and Iowa.

"Everybody in Washington and the establishment overvalues money undervalues people and ideas," Gingrich said on Fox Business Network on Saturday night. "The fact is we have a very real chance on an idea basis as conservatives to offer a better future for the American people. We have an ability to reach out to lots of people and communicate with them without millions of dollars of paid advertising. We are going to Florida with a set of big ideas."
