Santorum kids are all crying.

[Crunchy Frog]

I wonder what the parents have been telling them. Do they think this is some sort of victory for Satan?

[Ioo]

1. Yah, they may have to go back to PA, never been there...

:)

[Ignacio Upton]

33. I predict Santorum does two things after being a lobbyist in 2007:

1. If John Warner retires, then he will run for Virginia's other Senate seat in 2008, hopefully against Mark Warner.

2. Run for Arlen Specter's Senate seat, assuming he retires in 2010.

[Bluebear]

2. The Flanders kids

[MissB]

5. Perfect!

[AlCzervik]

Heydiddlyoh, thats not nice--sure it's funny.

:+

[high density]

Heh, then to Tweety...

"Santorum's kids are crying. By the way, kids are losing parents in Iraq."

WOW... Why does this guy have to be so zig zag?

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Tweety would be great if he were actually on our side. n/t

[Generator]

3. Cushy job, less toys at Christmas something altruistic like that you know

[dancingme]

I hope they don't have to look at the dead baby again

maybe they know that's what Dad wants to do when he's sad.

[twilight_sailing]

27. LOL

OK, that was bad. But it sure was funny.

[lies and propaganda]

4. i dont care how evil this makes me...

I was cracking up!!!

wtf were they crying over? that his crazy ass would be home more often?

[Sydnie]

They will have to go back to REAL SCHOOL somewhere now

No more free internet school for them! :rofl:

[lapfog_1]

43. would YOU want Rick around more

especially if you were a little boy or little girl????

Remember how PERVERTED this ass clowns are.

[mduffy31]

6. Hey leave the underage kids alone

Remember the outrage when Rush went after Chelsea, be bigger than them.

[Pithlet]

7. I feel bad for the kids.

I know. It's Santorum. I'm beyond thrilled he lost. But, I still felt bad when I saw the kids.

[fujiyama]

19. I feel bad for them

having a freak like Santorum for your dad must be tough.

And either way, I don't like bringing family members into this. It's uncalled for. Though Santorum and his wife shouldn't have brought the kids out there as props.

[cboy4]

23. I agree. It's not their fault their father is a monster. I wanted to see

Santorum cry.

[Seen the light]

8. As the son of someone who's lost an election before...

That really got to me. It really really sucks to lose an election. My heart broke for that little girl. The dad? Um.....not so much. :)

[Madrone]

28. As the daughter of someone that's lost 3 elections before -

We are in complete agreement. Jesus, some people on this board need to grow up and back off the little kids.

[dancingme]

34. I apologize for making fun of the kids

they obviously love their father and wanted him to win.

[gardenista]

45. As the daughter of one who has won and lost elections

My parents always told it to me straight, but never were there tears for losses. My dad's opponent's kids though- he lied to them and told him he won. THAT was sad.

Only time I ever cried as a kid was when Nixon won the 2nd time.

That one was rough.

[tritsofme]

9. I'll leave the kids out

Surely a very emotional thing to see your father rejected like that.

[BrotherBuzz]

22. Maybe Santorum should had left the kids out of this one...

I'm just saying. :shrug:

[kwolf68]

10. Maybe they can go to Jesus Camp and

rekindle their spirit.

[kwolf68]

11. Maybe they can go to Jesus Camp and

rekindle their spirit.

[timber84]

12. Sorry I don't criticize kids that young!

[Crunchy Frog]

21. Not criticizing, I feel bad for them.

I just wonder what kind psychological climate produces that kind of reaction to a parent's loss of a Senate race.

[malaise]

13. So are the kids of the dead soldiers except

their daddy ain't coming back.

[Sydnie]

17. Thank you! n/t

[terrya]

14. Nevermind

[buddysmellgood]

16. Now they know that everybody knows that their dad is an ASSHOLE.

[Proud MD Liberal]

I'm not going to criticize the kids.

But I will criticize Santorum for bringing them up there. Heartless Puke.

[rug]

18. Now they have to move back to Pennsylvania.

[spuddonna]

29. Honestly, I do think that is why they are crying...

Maybe they will have to move back to PA, and they'll lose their friends at the new school.

I feel bad for them, for the kids. Santorum had no business dragging them up there...

[Luminous Animal]

20. Why are people picking on the kids?

They are just kids, for heavens sake!

[Crunchy Frog]

24. Not picking on them.

See above post. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2618210&mesg_id=2618457

[holboz]

25. DADDY I DON'T WANT TO GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL!

Why did you lose to that nasty Democrat?

[DemonFighterLives]

26. What a dopey looking kid

I was wondering why Cnn and Cspn gave this schmuck so much time??? He lost by 30 points, move along, let's hear from the winner.
:silly:

[johnfunk]

38. Why does CNN give him so much face time/ He's one of them!

[TK421]

30. Santorum is FINISHED !!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! !!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[Blue-Jay]

31. I think they look pretty happy.

[Bluebear]

32. Don't ATTACK them like that!

:eyes:

[Disturbed]

35. If he and his wife knew the kids would be crying

the mom should have kept them off the stage. Sure, that brings sympathy for the kids and not their fault that their parents decided to bring them out in public when their dad has lost his job.

[Bluebear]

42. It was sarcastic

People are talking here like a DUer went on stage and stole the kid's lunch money. :)

[johnfunk]

36. Little Ricky FORCING his kids on the dais is cruel and inappropriate

He's a shitty dad. Someone should strip him of parental privileges and put those abused kids in foster care.

[DemBones DemBones]

37. Show some human decency and leave the kids alone. Of course they're

crying. Their father lost his Senate seat tonight. Just because they won't go hungry doesn't mean it's a happy occasion for them.

[Blue-Jay]

39. You should send them a Christmas card.

[devilgrrl]

40. Hey kids! You're dad likes dogs!

There. Cry about that. :eyes:

[1932]

41. Are they going to have to live in that tiny house that Santorum claims they

live in so he can get a tax credit for their home schooling?

[HuffleClaw]

44. geeze, have some sense.

they've probably been up since about six and been all over the place during the day. they are exhausted, tired and hungry. its one thing to laugh at rick, quite another to slam the guys children.

[gardenista]

46. For the kids, it's all on a very personal, visceral level.

It's not fair to make fun of them.
