So, Bristol was doing something that Santorum was critical of, but thankfully Sarah was showing love and support for her and her baby. Many other conservative pols, as that article showed, were happy to leave it at statements that Palin’s family should not be a campaign issue. Santorum passed judgment on her daughter’s pre-marital behaviors, which is his coded way of saying, “if she was a better mother, she wouldn’t have this problem.”

I'm not necessarily defending Santorum, but this interpretation is way over the top.

Talk about jumping to conclusions, this article is a joke. But there is news here for former senator Santorum. In spite of your years as one of the senate’s most consistent conservatives, that means nothing. You have been found guilty of a crime from which there is no reprieve and no appeal to some here at FR: you’re guilty of having made positive statements about Mitt Romney in the past.

And now you are under suspicion of hoping for Romney success in the future.

Using a has been who couldn't get re-elected to submarine Sarah? Right outta ol' Mitt's playbook. But he's such a wonderful family man!

Mitt, you can count on me to do everything possible to expose your facade.

Give it up Rick, you’re done, especially if you think you’re going to pull caucus votes away from Sarah to help your pal Romney.

Santorum was my Senator for years, he’s more of a social/Christian conservative than even Palin is. However, he’s also restrictive on people’s freedom. Sortof a Christian statist. That, and his unwavering support for the war at a time when it was incredibly unpopular, sunk him in PA.

It appears to be English, but it makes no sense whatsoever.

First, Sarah Palin is not in my opinion somebody the GOP needs to be saved from. Sarah Palin is, if the party and even the conservative movement fully realized what they had in her, somebody the whole lot of them ought to have been, ought to be still, fighting for the chance to defend. The fact that Governor Palin felt the need to resign and clowns like Mark Sanford and John Ensign still haven’t ought to be deeply embarrassing to the GOP and conservatives.

Second, assuming for the sake of argument that Sarah Palin is a clear and present danger to the Republican Party...as a great sportsman and entertainer might put it, in order to be the man, you’ve got to beat the woman. I’m not sure that even Mitt Romney can do that. I’m deeply skeptical that Rick Santorum can. This guy needs to put down the weed.

Dear Rick:

Republicans who sell-out their nation, their constituents and the American people in general are NOT exactly in favor just now! Oh sure...you were of service to the ever classy Arlen Specter! And didn’t THAT work out well. Look for Arlen to repay that debt by making a profound gesture utterly contrary to HIS best interests REAL SOON!!!! You see, Rick, traitors are extremely popular with the party heads—the McCains, Grahams and Steeles just love your type. But actual CONSERVATIVES...that is, those who have always BEEN AND STILL ARE the republican party, do not like limp-wristed, spineless little unprincipled weasels. So do actual Americans—that is, CONSERVATIVES everywhere— a real favor and shut up, go home and re-discover the profound obscurity you so richly deserve.

The author of this barely-disguised hit piece (Michael Roston) is a flaming left-winger who writes for HuffPo and the Village Voice.

Take what he says about the GOP with this:

Ricky is a Slick Willardbot. Go away, Ricky.

Santorum wrote a book about the upholding the traditional family in 2005. HE sugguested that the healthiest families are those which have a stay at home mom. Perhaps, Santorum think Palin needs to stay in the kitchen.

[editor-surveyor]

Sarah will kick that soft-headed whiner’s but.

His only positive is that he is pro-life, and lots of dummacraps are just like him.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It doesn't matter if they undercut Palin in the primaries.

GRASSROOTS ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT SLICK MITT!
Santorum, you are a tool and putting you and your elitist GOP friends' selfish goals ahead of what's good for the nation.

[Palladin]

Sara Palin will run for President as the head of a Third Party.

The RINOs will back Santorum or Pawlenty.

This split will put Obama back in for four more years.

You read it here first.

I heard ricksanitizer say that he WOULD NEVER RUN IN POLITICS AGAIN DUE TO FAMILY REASONS... if the man runs again... he is a liar like 99% of those pukes in DC today... NO MORE FAKES AND NO MORE LIARS!
