“President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college,” Santorum said. “What a snob!”

[L. Coyote]

OH NO! Educations works and people become liberals! OH NO!

TROY, MICHIGAN — At an Americans For Prosperity-sponsored tea party rally here Saturday, Rick Santorum trumpeted his connections to the working class by attacking President Obama’s plan to make college more accessible to Americans.

....

“There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor,” Santorum said. “That’s why (Obama) wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image.”

1. There is something seriously wrong with that boy's brain.

It might be funny if he weren't so frightening.
That fella can NEVER be allowed anywhere near the Oval...

[DCBob]

2. This is common attitude among RWingers who listen to Rush Limbaugh, Hannity etc.

They think universities and other educational instistions are run by liberals pushing liberal agenda and brainwashing the youth of America. To us this sounds rediculous but many RWingers sincerely believe this.

[Iceberg Louie]

3. Hannity/Limbaugh listeners prefer to have their chickenhawks do their thinking for them.

That is why Rupert Murdoch's stable of whores can so successfully villainize education. Their sheep demand to be herded.

[Loudmxr]

4. So less education would remake you in Santorum's image???

[Laurian]

5. He went to college, didn't he?

Why does he think others should not have the same opportunity he had?

[Ishoutandscream2]

7. Yes, isn't that in itself "elitist"?

Frothy needs to look in the mirror...

[DesertRat]

6. Santorum has 3 degrees

Pennsylvania State University (BA)
University of Pittsburgh (MBA)
Dickinson School of Law (JD)

What a snob!

[lastlib]

8. I think he also has a PhD in BS

What an a$$hat!

[L. Coyote]

17. In his case, it certainly is piled higher and deeper bull s**t. n/t

[crunch60]

9. It just goes to show you, for

some people, higher education just doesn't work.

[DesertRat]

11. Dubya certainly proved that point. n/t

[Democrat18]

15. And he went to Yale!

Never knew it was a party school.

[angrychair]

10. Mind.....hurts.....

body....shutting......down....the dumb hurts!

[Caretha]

12. And the clueless & dumb shits

yes I said shits....are going to eat this excrement up like it was candy.

It just boggles the mind. Truly

[muntrv]

13. Snob? Like the Shrub?

[UCmeNdc]

14. Aim very Low

Aim Low!

I, Rick "Burn the Witches" Santorum approve this message!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. How awful

Of course, President Obama is not mandating College nor is Michelle taking away anybody's sweets. I guess that whenever a Democrat proposes something that they think is a "good idea" and something that might benefit people in this country, the right-wing Republican Tea Party automatically assumes that it is part of some horrible "anti-freedom" anti-working people plot that is being forced upon them.



Sometimes I wish people like Santorum would just find themselves a nice little remote island somewhere in the world to take themselves to so that they could live out their own ideological fantasies and give the rest of civilization a chance of survival/progress.

[L. Coyote]

18. oopphs

[Proud Liberal Dem]

20. LOL

n/t

[L. Coyote]

21. Ooopphs, I was responding to the OP.

[alp227]

28. +++++!

I couldn't have said it better. Given all the hyperventilation over Mrs. Obama's Let's Move campaign and the President wanting to increase affordability of college, I wonder: how can ANYONE with a working brain ever be a conservative in this era.

[DCBob]

19. Santorum was just on This Week with George.

He doubled down on this by saying colleges/universities push liberal viewpoint. George kind of baited him and Santorum couldnt resist.

[Glimmer of Hope]

22. Snob = Uppity? That was my first thought.

[and-justice-for-all]

23. What a piece of shit...nt

[Thinkingabout]

24. And this is a guy home schooling his kids

Just what the USA needs, kids indoctrinating the next generation. It is easy to see he is against anything Obama says. Oh I forgot Ricky the team player.

[trueblue2007]

25. Santorum ... "What an Asshole"

[BadgerKid]

26. You can see where is frame of mind is: religious imagery.

I fully believe Santorum would push for a theocracy.

[Kwarg]

27. After spending nearly a decade in college...

A good number of students have no business being there. Laziness, lack of focus, lack of desire and yes even a lack of intelligence should send some onto different career paths.
And remember, many people are successful with zero college education. College is not the appropriate choice for many young people.
