Santorum Calls Limbaugh Comments 'Absurd'
CNN Political Unit ^ | March 2nd, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 03/02/2012 12:37:54 PM PST by BarnacleCenturion

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum labeled Rush Limbaugh "absurd" over disparaging remarks from the radio talk show host directed at a law student who testified before a House panel in support of access to contraceptives.

"He's being absurd, but that's you know, an entertainer can be absurd," Santorum told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Friday. "He's in a very different business than I am."

He clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Meanwhile, Obama’s $1 million donor, Bill Maher gets clean away with calling Sarah Palin a “dumb tw*t” and not a peep from anyone.

True enough, no big deal.

Rick just can't hep himself it seems, he keeps stepping in it. He is clearly way over his head now, and clearly not ready for Prime Time.

Pandering to Sluts is no way to speak out on your ethics message you have been preaching. WOW, unbelievable. At this point he is now the GIFT that keeps on giving.

Oh well, not my problem, lol GO NEWT

Santorum, you don’t go after the most popular conservative in the country (pro-life to boot)unless you are clueless.

I never made good grades in English, but it do know that there is a big difference in your usage of the word as a noun or/ and adjective. What is the definition of is?

Lets take a look at what Newt Gingrich had to say about conservatives in NY.

Sometimes the best way to show and mock how ridiculous something is, is to mock the ridiculous.

Flukey Girl handed us a golden egg, and Rush is making golden omelets.

What’s wrong with his answer? Wolf was looking for a “gotcha” and Santorum basically responded by repeating back to Blitzer the same phrase that Rush says every day on his show: “Demonstrating absurdity by being absurd”.

Yes, Ricky is absurd even though he is not supposed to be.

I hope Rush hears this. Then perhaps he’ll remember this:

In Ga., Gingrich helped build conservative base

“ATLANTA — It wasn’t so long ago that the Republican Party in Georgia was just an afterthought, and Democrats were in firm control of all the levers of state government. Back then, Newt Gingrich and other die-hard GOP stalwarts ventured across the state with the far-fetched message that Republicans could reverse the tide.

Now with commanding majorities in the Statehouse and control of all statewide offices, Gingrich is hoping his vision for how the GOP could overcome decades of Democratic dominance in Georgia will pay dividends. He sorely needs a victory when his home state votes Tuesday, along with a big chunk of its 76 delegates, to prove his stumbling presidential bid has staying power.

Many Republican figures in Georgia still credit him with championing conservative policies, outlining a framework for what a GOP majority in the state could accomplish and broadcasting talking points to a generation of up-and-coming conservative leaders. He’s also applauded for lobbying conservative Democrats, like then-Rep. Nathan Deal, to switch parties.

“Everyone else was trying to lose as slowly as possible, and to die with dignity at the Alamo. He was talking confidently that the Republican majority in Georgia, in the South and nationally was right around the corner,” said Ralph Reed, a veteran Georgia GOP operative who founded the national Faith and Freedom Coalition. “On the one hand it was crazy, but on the other it was just the most exciting thing you’ve ever heard.”.............................

If Santo cared about this country he would join forces with Newt.. to beat Willard..
He surely knows Newt is the better candidate..

Obviously he doesnt care about America.. he cares about himself..
His ideas pale next to Newts.. they are infantile..
Not much difference between Santo and Willard..

Newts ideas are a whole new ballgame..
Its true Newt may be a whore..

But Santo is a shlemiel and Willard is a shemozle..

Used the word as an adjective. Get a grip.
