April 6, 2012 For Immediate Release Contact: Matt Beynon - 703.307.8633 SANTORUM CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON BELLA SANTORUM Verona, PA - The Rick Santorum for President campaign has issued the following statement on the health of Isabella Santorum.
Hogan Gidley, National Communications Director, said: "Rick and his wife Karen have taken their daughter Bella to the hospital. The family requests prayers and privacy as Bella works her way to recovery."
“Bella” in Spanish means “beautiful.”
Why Rick would be running for pres. is beyond my belief.
He should be home giving his wife support since his daughter is not going to be alive too near in the future.

Should Bella expire before the elections, this would give him a lot of sympathy votes.
Good grief!!!!
Sort of a cheeky Kenyan bastard trick when he pretended his grandmother died a day or so just before the elections.
What would make you think I would vote for him?
I live in the Rep. of Panama. I don’t need any of those crooks. They dont represent Panama.
Your screen name indicates where you live. And I am under no illusions that you would vote for Santorum.
In the interim, however, this thread is supposed to be about his sick daughter, rather than about how you feel the Santorum family should manage its life.
Good luck cleaning up Panama.

Thank you for your comments.
This has nothing to do with Rick or anybody else. It has to do with a husband and father who should be home giving support to his wife and daughter...especially his wife...above political aspirations. I am talking about his being there with his wife for support. Period.
Good luck cleaning up your filthy political mess.
You made it about Rick. I didn’t.
I suggest that he and his wife know how to parent and know what is best for their own family.
We will need luck in cleaning up our filthy political mess. I believe Santorum can do it. Good day.
Prayers for Bella and her family. What a difficult time this must be for them.
We do! :-)
FReepmail Antoninus to be added or removed.
Swell to see you couldn’t keep quite and to yourself on a thread discussing the Santorums daughter being rushed to the hospital. Always slamming anything Rick, no matter what, like a school yard bully. Absolutely disgraceful. You have a heart of coal.
Prayers for little Bella, Rick and Karen.
They have a crappy row to hoe there, and do it with grace and honor.
Definately, definately in my prayers.
Rita, sorry FRiend.
We support the same guy. Heck Antonius and Lazlo know I work for Newt and still they keep me on the Santorum ping list, but that wasn’t appropriate at all.
A politician is fair game. A sick child is not. I don’t give a crap if the pols try to use their kids as props - I won’t play that game and nor should you.
You are better than that.
Politics aside... Please pray for Bella and her family..
Dear Lord, be with little Bella and her family as they go through this illness.
BTTT
I agree, Mary. Prayers up for little Bella and her whole family.
My response to little Bella’s crisis speaks for itself up thread ( #5 ) with sincere concerns for her health and well being.
To wonder how a father DOES this, with such a chronically ill baby who is reportedly destined for a short life, is not an extraordinary question on a thread about Bella.
In fact, your prickly reactions may say you have wondered the same thing. Who wouldn’t?
The injection of the political came with the claim that Santorum was not an “opportunist”, and then waxed poetic on why Rick was running for president.
Quite apart from Bella’s critical illness, to believe that Santorum is not a political opportunist I found astounding and simply said so, at #16.
I would say save the Jezebel business and the coal hearted hysterics for the delegates who will soon be placing Rick back in the home, with hopefully a job near by, for Bella’s sake as well as the country.
Meanwhile, maybe a good idea would be to drop the harrumphing and return to your prayerful thread?
God bless Bella and her family.
My apologies. That particular post from someone I respect just rubbed me the wrong way - it has been a long, difficult day here too (ain’t they all).
You’re very kind and I really appreciate it. I meant nothing to take away from prayers for Bella. Thanks.
