Santorum Pronounces Zimmerman Guilty Before Trial, or Charge

Republican presidential contender Sen. Rick Santorum appeared on CBS' Face the Nation this morning and pronounced George Zimmerman guilty of murder in the first degree.

Admitting that he was "not privy to what’s going on in someone’s mind," Santorum nevertheless said that Zimmerman, who shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin while participating in a neighborhood watch last month, "has a very sick mind who would pursue someone like this." He added that Zimmerman's motive had been "malicious."

The mental state of the alleged perpetrator, the motive, and the question of whether he pursued the alleged victim, are both critical in determining guilt. Santorum's conclusions are consistent with first-degree murder under Florida law....

I think Barry’s so disliked, even among Democrats, that a third party with someone as wildly popular as Sarah Palin, would win.

I truly want to believe that, but even if she would lose, I'd still stand proudly in her camp and spit in the eye of evil. Time comes, where you have to throw all of the politics out the window and stand your ground on principles.

As the old Texians once said,

Probably. Newt also said that it was right to be taken to a grand jury.

I suppose that is also ignored.

Many of us see that you are blinded for your social issues that you have to belittle yourselves to defend Rick Santorum (santos, for short) time after time. This is big and shows a lot about the man convicting a person before the facts come out.

[Happy Rain]

Now that is a rational criticism devoid of Santorum Derangement Syndrome—YOU don't sound like you want Mitt to win like the many Rickphobes around here do.

Did you know that to give George the benefit of the "stand your ground law' you have to also believe that Trayvon was trying to kill him?

Negative.

Zimmerman must only reasonably fear death or serious bodily injury at the hands of Martin.

[101stAirborneVet]

Now, let’s Zimmerman into a proper court.

On what charge?

"Yet, George was following Trayvon around in a pickup truck ~ and eventually shot him to death with a firearm."

Kinda left a few steps out there didn't you?

LOL! I gotta admit, it is entertaining wtching these rabid santorum supporters twist them selves into knots trying to make reality match what santorum says.

-- Why do you imagine you are INVISIBLE in this? --

Because I can't see my reflection in a mirror.

>> It isn’t going to cost Zimmerman a damn thing

There’s an illicit $10k bounty on the guy’s head.

Santorum, Obama, and a host of others have denied the alleged shooter the presumption of innocence. Rick’s ‘opinion’ was reckless notwithstanding your unrelated anecdotes.

[MotorCityBuck]

If Newt, or Sarah ain't on the ballot this November. I will write in the Dude happily. Shut the F*&k up Ricky, your out of your element. :)

[dforest]

This isn’t a whole lot better.

The same Newt that jumped on the couch with Pelozi in a supposed “moment of knee-jerk reaction”?

Yeah- right.

[JoSixChip]

"Newt also said that it was right to be taken to a grand jury."

And???? how does that translate into a presumption of guilt? My god, these people actual think they are conservative.

[Gene Eric]

>> Why is Newt getting a pass? He already said that the shooter had a dangerous hobby ...

I criticized Newt for the ‘hobby’ remark. He didn’t get a pass from me.

[Happy Rain]

Answer honestly please—who between the two would you prefer to win the nomination, Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney?

You won't answer, will you? You will dodge or spin it.

Mitt will then be your honest answer.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Santorum should keep his mouth shut until facts are presented.
A fool rushes in and spouts opinions without facts in place. Santorum is a fool.

[muawiyah]

Firing his pistol in a residential zone.

That's a start.

[JoSixChip]

"Answer honestly please—who between the two would you prefer to win the nomination, Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney?"

I will, romney is a far better candidate then santorum and would be a better president. Newt on the other hand is a far superior candidate and would be a great president!

[muawiyah]

I happen to be a Newt supporter, but you rabid Mitbots seem unable to tell that.

I"m with the smart people in this.
