Rick Santorum Announces He Doesn’t Believe In the Separation of Church and State


A rather shrill and clearly self-pitying Mr. Rick Santorum was on ABC’s This Week today, hosted by George Stephanopoulos, to defend himself against GOP assumed front-runner Mitt Romney. His defense amounts to putting the media on notice that he doesn’t believe in the absolute separation of church and state and that anyone who doesn’t agree with him is attacking his rights to take away their rights.

Furthermore, watching John F. Kennedy’s 1960 speech to Protestant ministers in Houston made Santorum want to vomit. Yes, that’s a quote. The Republican candidate for President said Kennedy’s speech made him want to vomit.

Wow, the back taxes and penalties should pretty much settle any national debt. Thanks, Rick!

We are seeing the sordid underbelly of the GOP proudly held up to the light. I expect Santorum to start speaking in tongues and screaming "Blasphemer!" on national TV any day now. The good thing is, people are being forced to choose between a reasonable adult and a complete lunatic in the General election. It will be illuminating to see just how many people are so brainwashed or insane themselves that they vote for the GOP'er.
