Except for the age requirement, he's ready to be Vice President.

July 11th the incident occurred. So coincidentally, we now learn about it on the day of the debates. LOL.

Well that should certainly help derail Rick’s chances. Oh, I don’t think he had one anyway. I like Rick but, he ain’t the one.

Did he leave any dead bodies in a canal, trapped in the car, and fail to report after leaving the scene?

Oh, if he did that I thought maybe he might run for president or something big?

Santorum wants to govern us when he apparently cannot govern his family.

Don’t be so judgmental.

This happens in the best of families. Kids get to choose their own paths and make their own decisions. Sometimes bad ones.

...another ‘bring down the republicans’ b.s.

If this was a libtard, there would be NO mention of it...

The MSM, RINOs, lobbyists, big daddy bucks, libtards are running scared, they can't seem to bring down Trump/Cruz so they are going after anyone...

How happy is it that their days are numbered....the John Q. Public is knowing more of the evils they do everyday....

As the son is 22, I give Santorum a pass. This is an adult and he needs to take responsibility for his own choices and actions.

I certainly don’t care about this because there isn’t any conceivable circumstance I’d vote for Santorum anyway.

Well, if he kills a woman while diving drunk, puts on a dress, and calls himself “Caitlyn”, the Mainstream Media will applaud his “Courage” and demand he not be prosecuted.

His son is 22 years old. He is a cadet at the Citadel and up to the point of his DWI he was going to be an officer in the military. He is a man, not a child. This is not on Dad, it’s on the son. Personal responsibility has to begin at some point right?

In general the father is responsible for the son’s behavior. He is NOT Legally responsible under most circumstances.
