Last week Rick Santorum addressed the Centre County Republican Party and asked them to support him. During the course of his speech Rick actually had the gall to compare putting a Santorum bumper sticker on your car to serving your country in Iraq or Afghanistan.
That's right, he literally said that putting one of his bumper stickers on your vehicle was a way "to step up and serve your country." The video is below the following transcript:
Santorum: "And yet we have brave men and women who are willing to step forward because they know what's at stake. They're willing to sacrifice their lives for this great country. What I'm asking all of you tonight is not to put on a uniform. Put on a bumper sticker. Is it that much to ask? Is it that much to ask to step up and serve your country?" (emphasis ours)
And no, Rick was NOT talking about a "Support the Troops" bumper sticker, he was absolutely talking about a "Rick Santorum" bumper sticker.
Completely disgusting.
real Christians know their place.
That sissy little frat boy is one of the most self-absobed fools in Congress today. I hope the citizens of PA have the good taste to send that worm packing.
A man with absolutely no shame whatsoever. A man who compares supporting his campaign to serving in the armed forces.
Just...wow.
How could ANYONE vote for...this?

Crook and Liar...what a coward
Not very inspired or original, I'm afraid, but then Rick Santorum isn't very inspiring or original either. Religious nuts and zealots all look about the same.
Anyway, my sticker is at: http://www.cafepress.com/santorum_drip
I made a free shop for ricky, since I didn't want to soil my main anti-gop shop: http://www.cafepress.com/notsubtle
Just wanted to make sure.
Mr. Santorum's statement doesn't surprise me. Look at history and literature. There have always been and always will be people like him.
What is far more troubling are the crowd of people who applaud this shameful nonsense.
Thank goodness there are still some people left who can see through this crap. Unfortunately being able to see through it doesn't mean that it can be stopped. History is littered with societal garbage heaps that could no longer stand the weight their own corruption.
Corrupt chickenhawks one and all!
OUTSOURCE SANTORUM
it's an episode of the twilight zone, right?
Any second, a little demon will crawl out of his ear and he'll wake up, as if out of a trance, not remembering a thing.
truly a more apt example of why the excretions of a certain sexual act share his name couldn't possibly exist.

"He said he died on the cross, but Jesus Christ, I caught him coming out of a cave not three friggin days later.... PAID FOR BY SWIFT BOAT APOSTLES FOR TRUTH"
Thank you (even though I feel really bad right now). Dems should repeat that on every f--ing occasion. Just spewing out names until the right wing pundit interrupts them. This is a generation of criminal scumbags!
Speaking of education, you might want to check your dictionary. It's congraTulations!
The "faith-based summit" itself was sponsored by Watts (R-Okla.), Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and other top congressional Republicans, but efforts to promote it at the grassroots level were turned over to a Moon organization.
Why is the Republican Party working hand in glove with Moon front groups? The partnership stems largely from Moon's phenomenal ability to make inroads in GOP and Religious Right circles. Despite his unorthodox theological views Moon teaches that he is the new Messiah, sent by God to complete the failed mission of Jesus Moon has had little difficulty penetrating the upper echelons of American conservatism.
While a number of Republican-aligned private organizations have promoted President George W. Bush's religion funding scheme, only Moon won an official relationship with the Republican leadership to rally grassroots forces on behalf of the "faith-based" summit. This enhanced status enabled him to do grassroots political organizing and religious recruitment with the apparent blessing of Bush and his GOP allies in Congress
Republicans are just knee-jerk military spenders and Rhetoricists (if that's a word). Defense is just a buzzword in their P.R. campaign. They know soldiering like Jeff Bezos knows writing. Just how to sell it.
On a more positive note, I'd like to add that Saxby Chambliss is an embarrasment to the flag.

N.
When will the American people come to realize that people who trot out GOD and COUNTRY are most likely stealing and lying and cheating?
Wrapping oneself in the flag and using the name of GOD in vain should be recognized for what it is: hypocrisy of the first order.
Instead we've got to sappiest BS getting cheers and applause, while the sheep turn the Bill of Rights over to corporate shills and liars.
Wave that flag, join the military, but NEVER surrender to BS artists like Rick Santorum.
Real Republicans support the war by not enlisting. Just like cutting student aid and Pell grants improves student funding, and side stepping the constitution to do illegal things is actually acting in accordance with the constitution.
Ignorance is strength.
Have to put it on my manure spreader, the other one wouldn't stick--kept jumping off.
Because they don't know any better. People are being informed in droves by the likes of FAUX News and radio drug addict Rush Limpbough . . . and on the rare occasion that an inconvenient fact intrudes upon their reality, people tend to dismiss the fact rather than re-thinking their years of video and audio "conditioning".
Republican sheep aren't "evil" . . . they're just stupid and lazy.
...and b) that most of the troops in Iraq right now DID NOT volunteer "in a time of war" -- they were peace time reservists, many for the National Guard, who signed up to pay for college. And now, they are being retained in service long past their committment requirements via the "back door draft," because people ARE NOT enlisting to fight in this war. (The army itself admits that it is stretched to the breaking point right now.)
All things considered, though -- if I had to make a choice, I'd enlist in the army before I put a Santorum bumper sticker on my car.
Isn't that Latin for "asshole"?
Maybe he's been studing the masters.
like a slick, Amway recruiter.
or perhaps, just a plain old snake.
stupid childish looking face and the puke begins to flow instantly.Now it looks like all i'll have to do is look at some conservative morons suv in front of me.Excellent.
United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!
Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House:
"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are
official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt
entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth
hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a
coroner's report that will lead to our demise.
It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has
been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1,
Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and
insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - Joint
Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause
dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official
capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and
Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal
Government exists today in name only.
The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International
Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now
operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers.
With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the
receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the
United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an
established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This
act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office
of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International
Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part:
"The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing
the United States."
Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the founding of the
united states of America, that the founding fathers declared that only gold
or silver coins can be "money" in America. Since gold and silver coinage
were heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were stored in
banks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute. People traded
their coupons as money, or "currency." Currency is not money, but a money
substitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in
gold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises,
and are not "money." A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of the
federal United States government, not "money?' The federal United States
government and the U.S. Congress were not and have never been authorized by
the Constitution for the united states of America to issue currency of any
kind, but only lawful money, -gold and silver coin.
It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between real money and
paper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumulating money
substitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the People no longer have
any "money." Most Americans have not been paid any "money" for a very long
time, perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you comprehend why you feel
broke? Now, do you understand why you are "bankrupt," along with the rest of
the country?
Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are unsigned checks written on a closed
account. FRNs are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt through
inflation (devaluation of currency). when ever there is an increase of the
supply of a money substitute in the economy without a corresponding increase
in the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs.
Inflation is an invisible form of taxation that irresponsible governments
inflict on their citizens. The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply
and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an unlimited
supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need. FRNs
are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities
(T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.
There is a fundamental difference between "paying" and "discharging" a
debt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold,
silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt.
You cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a debt
with a currency that has no backing in value or substance. No contract in
Common law is valid unless it involves an exchange of "good & valuable
consideration." Un-payable debt transfers power and control to the sovereign
power structure that has no interest in money, law, equity or justice
because they have so much wealth already.
Their lust is for power and control. Since the inception of central
banking, they have controlled the fates of nations.
The Federal Reserve System is based on the Canon law and the principles of
sovereignty protected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact,
the international bankers used a "Canon Law Trust" as their model, adding
stock and naming it a "Joint Stock Trust." The U.S. Congress had passed a
law making it illegal for any legal "person" to duplicate a "Joint Stock
Trust" in 1873. The Federal Reserve Act was legislated post-facto (to 1870),
although post-facto laws are strictly forbidden by the Constitution. [1:9:3]
The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure separate and
distinct from the federal United States government. The Federal Reserve is a
maritime lender, and/or maritime insurance underwriter to the federal United
States operating exclusively under Admiralty/Maritime law. The lender or
underwriter bears the risks, and the Maritime law compelling specific
performance in paying the interest, or premiums are the same.
Assets of the debtor can also be hypothecated (to pledge something as a
security without taking possession of it.) as security by the lender or
underwriter. The Federal Reserve Act stipulated that the interest on the
debt was to be paid in gold. There was no stipulation in the Federal Reserve
Act for ever paying the principle.
Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free
and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913)
"Hypothecated" all property within the federal United States to the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve, -in which the Trustees (stockholders) held
legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a
"beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the
federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties,
assets and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to
the Federal Reserve System.
In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United
States corporation all the credit "money substitute" it needed. Like any
other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateral
and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the
federal United States didn't have any assets, they assigned the private
property of their "economic slaves", the U.S. citizens as collateral against
the un-payable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal
territories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit
organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been
transferred as payment to the international bankers.
Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution, feudal
roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had no
rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are the
tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in the
guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one master
for another.
This has been going on for over eighty years without the "informed
knowledge" of the American people, without a voice protesting loud enough.
Now it's easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt.
Why don't more people own their properties outright?
Why are 90% of Americans mortgaged to the hilt and have little or no assets
after all debts and liabilities have been paid? Why does it feel like you
are working harder and harder and getting less and less?
We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a
painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious
liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in
Washington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is
bankrupt. Our children will inherit this un-payable debt, and the tyranny to
enforce paying it.
America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial
credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an
undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most
corrupt order! Wake up America! Take back
your Country."
If you do a google search for ("intelligent design" site:santorum.senate.gov), you get several hits.
Why does the web site find none of these? This seems less than forthcoming, and probably takes specific programing so the information cannot easily be retrieved. Why hide the information?
studying and trying to practice the "down home", laid back, person to person oratory techniques of Bill Clinton. The poor dumb bastard thinks he's making friends of his audience.
If you think he is doing such a poor job, why don't I see your names in the race?
Rather than citicizing maybe you should come up with ways to solve the problem!
Rather than wasting your time on a negative Website such as this, maybe you should use that yime to create a life for you and your family and your family to come!
I agree with #60 Joyce, GET OUT AND VOTE! If you don't, KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT!
As to who served, and then to include Clinton in the "honor roll" of Democrats looses all credibility. You conveniently forget Bob Dole and George HW Bush, both heroes and mdeal winners. But then again, that's the liberal way . . . bullshit, bullshit, bullshit with no sense of truth or reality.
I hope that the Democarats win, so that we can pay more taxes, have terrorists on our doorstep, see inflation take off, gas prices go to $4 a gallon, mating earthworms protected, every one feel "good" about themselves, homosexuals and radical Islamists taking control of America, and, well, you liberals get the picture. HATE AMERICAN FIRST, HATE AMERICA FIRST - the same thing you have been chanting for the past 6 years!
It is clear that he will be a true conservative. Not a Dem calling himself a conservative
Thanks Again
