and not running for president

But in his speech, first flagged by Right Wing Watch, Santorum basically says these millions of Christian-Americans are not real Christians. At a time when Santorum and his party are grasping at straws to claim the Obama administration is waging war on Christianity, it seems that it was the candidate himself who declared war on one of the biggest groups of American Christians four years ago.
Meanwhile, the rest of Santorums speech dwells on his now-typical hyper-Puritanical warnings about Satan, and the dangers of sensuality, rock concerts, and the NBA that sound like they were plagiarized from Dana Carveys Church Lady skits on SNL.

Yeah, but she's pretty fucking scary as the front runner to be a major party's Presidential nominee.

...and isn't racism really the issue with Santorum?
Would he accuse a white president of being a phony christian?
They have tried everything, now it's religion. Sooner or later they will have to admit: We just don't like anyone but white people in the WH.
