Santorum: "We will never have the smart people on our side"

[muriel_volestrangler]

Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum attacked the media and "smart people" for not being on the side of conservatives in a speech to the Values Voter Summit on Saturday.

"We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."

The media "doesn't like the other side," Santorum said. "And not necessarily, I would argue, because they agree with them, but because they can influence the country.

Santorum went on to prove his point with the ungrammatical "there is no basic values of America."

1. Ricky baby is smarter than I thought...

Maybe some of these clowns are beginning to see what a messed up party they have. In all my years, I have never seen anything like what the Pugs are today.

[malaise]

Stupid is as stupid does - love it

[MoonRiver]

4. It always amazes when the Thugs get something right!

[Curtland1015]

5. Those damned smart people with their knowledge!

I hate their intelligence SO MUCH!!!

[Volaris]

31. NOW I'm picturing Santorum as Gollum...

We HATES them, don't we?
Yes, Precious (Lord), HATES them we does...

It's a perfect descriptor, thanks for that, I'm smiling now.

6. When you have diarrhea and a fart at the same time -- Santorum

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Which is, I'd guess what Rick's mom did

and the doctor threw away the baby and kept the shit!

[L0oniX]

24. There was no baby. After farting she just shit and he became what he is.

[redqueen]

7. ...

[Curtland1015]

8. Perfect!

[TwilightGardener]

9. This is true. So rally your Army Of Stoopid and give it all ya got.

[rbrnmw]

10. Hell a blind billy goat could figure that out Ricky

Most sane intelligent people run like hell from fruitcakes like you.

11. Says the lawyer with an MBA

and 2 homes, including one bought for $2,000,000 in VA.

M'kay.

Thankfully PA finally figured this fraud out and removed him from office by a historical record 18% spread between him and Casey.

[Odin2005]

12. CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!

[dickthegrouch]

13. Next Campaign Commercial:

If you want to be smart: Vote Democrat!

(freely usable by any Dem campaign that wants it, I claim no rights at all).

[mick063]

14. Who wants to join a party

full of dumb shits?


Santorum is right for once. It takes smart people to run a country and the Tea Billies demonstrate just how important it is not to have imbeciles in charge.

[undeterred]

15. Well, he's wrong about the media.

But he's right about the smart people. You would think that if he could get that far, he would want to go a little further.

[MagickMuffin]

16. My response in smileys and commentary

...............Democratic Party


.......... Today's Republican Party


...............Democratic Party


.......... Today's Republican Party


...............Democratic Party


....... Today's Republican Party! Least not forget they are always the ones who like to refer to the nukeular option!


.......... It hurts so bad being a republican, they don't mind taking a dump on everyone and everything!


.......... Also this is the Republican Party! The Party of Dark Clouds following them everywhere!

[lpbk2713]

17. And the crowd says --- "YEAH, YEAH!!11!"

You just can't make this shit up.

[Hubert Flottz]

18. Did Ricky pull out any dead babies...

or did he have a rubber chicken in his pocket?

Edit The GOP deserves ALL the douchebags they have.

[SunsetDreams]

19. So... no smart people on their side, huh?

How is that not insulting to everyone he is speaking to? He just called them dumb!

[L0oniX]

23. "Hey ...how many of you idiots voted for us the last time? Raise your hand if you did.Thanks."

[SunsetDreams]

33. LOL!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. "We're the stupids, couldn't be prouder, can't hear us now so we'll 'DUH' a little louder"

[L0oniX]

22. "We need dumb asses ...smart people won't vote for us" DUH! No shit Sherlock.

Hey Ricky ...what's it like to be a rocket scientist?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Spewing out of the mouth of Santorum, a frothy mixture was seen. nt.

[ladym55]

26. Ya think, Ricky?

The fact that a dumba$$ like you was the last man standing against Mittens speaks volumes.

Of course, they'll never have smart people on their side. Smart people are able to *gasp* THINK!!!!! And think CRITICALLY!!!

Which is why Texas Republicans are opposed to teaching critical thinking in their schools.

[porphyrian]

27. Correct. n/t

[Raksha]

28. At least pRick Santorum is smart enough to figure that one out.

That's something anyway--granted, not much. But something.

[okasha]

29. What's the equivalent of a stopped clock

that's right once every decade or so?

[Beartracks]

30. Rick the media IS on you're side! But you're right about smart people. LOL n/t

[Blue Owl]

32. But you'll always have the "blah" people, Rick...

n/t

[Raine]

34. That's why they want to defund schools so they'll have more stupid undeducated people

which is the only way they can get votes.

[Initech]

35. They'll never have the media on their side? What are they smoking?

EVERY news station has turned conservative in the last two decades - every last one of 'em. MSNBC is *SLIGHTLY* leaning toward the left but that's about it. There's very few if any truly liberal media outlets to be found. The real liberal media is found on the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and the blogosphere. And I can't help but think the lying liar Limbaugh is responsible for this.

[malokvale77]

36. I have not laughed this much in weeks.

Thanks for that.

[cr8tvlde]

37. ...and to prove my point, may I introduce you to our candidate, Mitt Romney !!!

[salin]

38. We is dumb - yea us!

er...

[JaneyVee]

39. Smartest thing he's ever said.

[progressoid]

40. Classic!

That would explain why my neighbor likes him so much.

[diabeticman]

41. THIS is probably the most intelligent thing Santorum has Ever said.

[hootinholler]

42. The implication is if you're smart you won't vote for me. n/t
