Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania threw a few elbows at several potential rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, calling possible contenders Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas “bomb throwers” with little experience.

“Do we really want someone with this little experience?” Mr. Santorum said, referring to Mr. Paul, Mr. Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, The New York Times reported. “And the only experience they have basically — not Rubio, but Cruz and Paul because I don’t think Rubio is going to go — is bomb throwing? Do we really want somebody who’s a bomb thrower, with no track record of any accomplishments?”

Doug Stafford, a senior adviser to Mr. Paul, told the paper they would pass on responding to the “alleged wisdom” of someone who lost re-election in 2006 by 18 points and who “has spent the time since then trying to convince people to elect him to an even higher office than the one he was booted out of.”

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[demshateGod]

Rick Santorum, a man who will never be president.

SSantorum should sit down and shut up. His 15 minutes is up.

[ilgipper]

Santorum needs to realize that he needs to exit the stage and let people run who actually have a chance to win.

[tennmountainman]

Santorum could not even win his own Senate seat
after he supported Arlin Specter.

Good riddance.

Nina Easton, on Brett Baier's show, called the likes of Cruz and other conservatives, the "Caveman Caucus"!

DO NOT TRUST RAND PAUL!™

You know, lack of experience is NOT our problem in this country! Being black (or part black) is not either. It’s the poor, insane decisions, the violation of our Constitution and laws, the muslim conditioning, and more, that’s our problem.

If he’s going to try to cloud the issue like this, I don’t like him.

Rick Santorum sounds off....

Several years ago, I decided not to pay any attention to Santorum until he started to wear long pants. Not happenrd yet.

[vmivol00]

Santorum will do or say anything if he thinks it will help him politically. He has zero accomplishments outside of politics.

[luvie]

This coming from the most ineffective candidate that ever ran for anything! ffft!

[don-o]

Experienced in exactly what, Rick? Back scratching quid pro quo? Going along to get along? Bipartisanship?

That mess NEEDS to be bombed.

[Paladin2]

Rick has already been rejected.

[AU72]

Any politician who can’t win re-election in their own state has no business running for President.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Santorum, Santorum. Where Have I heard that name?

[Linda Frances]

Forgive me God. He was my lessor of evils.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. I don’t know why anyone ever thought K Street Rick was a conservative. He’s just Mike Huckabee without a divinity degree.

[cotton1706]

What exactly is Rick Santorum’s experience?? Supporting Arlen Specter??
