Rick Santorum On The Democratic Debate: “They’re All Socialists”
Buzzfeed ^ | October 15, 2015 | Andrew Kaczynski

Posted on 10/15/2015 10:33:07 AM PDT by Engraved-on-His-hands

Former Sen. Rick Santorum said on the radio Wednesday that the first Democratic debate revealed all the candidates to be socialists.

He made the comments in response to a question about an exchange on capitalism between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Clinton said at the Democratic debate Tuesday that at times we have to “save capitalism from itself” and that corporations should share more of their profits with workers.

“I’ve been around it for a long time,” Santorum, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, said of the debate in an interview with Rose Unplugged on AM1250 The Answer.

“I know these guys,” continued Santorum. “I’ve served with Bernie Sanders. I’ve been on TV shows with Bernie. And here’s the amazing thing, there’s no difference between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

Senator Santorum showing some of that dogged determination that has probably (helped) keep his poor daughter alive all these years. God bless his heart gotta admire such a fighter (at least I do).

I really can’t think of any other reason he thinks it’s a good idea to stay in the race. Seems like a giant waste of time for all involved. But hey, he did win Iowa last time around. (But I don’t think that’s going to happen again)

“Time to move out Rick, you are over.”

Rick “Captain Obvious” Santorum “strikes again!” In other news today, water is wet, the sky is blue, and they sun came up in the east! But ole Rick actually missed it, they are all Marxists, and all mentally ill.

Sky is blue.

Bears live in the woods.

Fish swim.

The other popes were Catholic until a radical Communist took the job recently.

Socialism is the idea that it is the critic who counts, and that “the man in the arena” who seeks to earn his credit by working to a bottom line and risking failure in the process is a sucker.

Socialists use the “you didn’t build that” meme as a way to make their fantasy of superiority over the productive people a reality.

Don’t think that any of the Democrat candidates are really Socialists. They are merely statist goons who give real Socialists a bad name. They don’t want to take over the economic high ground from Capitalists. They merely want a bigger piece of the economic pie to grow the government and placate their voting base. None of these clowns want to line up the capitalist fat cats and strip them of their wealth and property. It’s these self same capitalists that are for the most part paying for their political careers.

OK, he ran and got a half of a percent of the vote.

Where are the signs he can win and should stay in?

Hillary wears contacts. I think. So, no difference except cosmetically. Speaking of cosmetics, didn't Hillary have wonderful cheeks! :)

Nah, she can't. She ain't human. Besides, nothing can cover up crazy eyes...

Agreed, this is the excuse to make campaign money for a future run elsewhere.
