1. That says it all. Freaking family values. Eat me

[lildreamer316]

2. Oh my lord.

Wow.
I don't need to say a thing.
(she's holding a DOLL????)

[Sugar Smack]

3. That is too creepy.

My God.

[Skidmore]

5. With a matching dress.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. It's an Amercian Girl doll... My daughter had one, and she had a

matching dress for it. I assure you, my daughter is not creepy.

[lildreamer316]

34. Actually, I knew that..

but it's the fact that he would drag her up on stage like that and allow such exposure, and such a photo to be taken....
I personally would not want my daughter in the spotlight like that. If they are so about image, they had to know how that would end up looking.
I just don't think it's right.

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. I don't think it's right that Santorum did that either...

I just feel a little badly for his daughter. I would never put my child through that.

[screembloodymurder]

24. It's the Munsters!

Where's Uncle Herman?

[Downtown Hound]

4. Is it me or does this family not belong in our century?

[foo_bar]

6. it is kind of American Gothic

but they're on the wrong end of the pitchfork.

[Sugar Smack]

8. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:spray: :rofl:

[The Anti-Neo Con]

10. Agreed.

They look straight outta 1953!

[screembloodymurder]

25. Arrest the whole family.

Guantanamo.

[JI7]

7. i feel bad for his daughter, but it's best for her that he lost

she would be even more sad when she gets older and realizes what her dad is like. it's best now for him to go away and in private so people forget about him and she can avoid the embarrassment it would cause when people find out he is her father.

[MGD]

9. I hate Santorum but for Christ's sakes, do we have to fuck with his children?

I thought that kind of callousness was a Republican value. Don't flame me. I'm just saying.

[kerstin]

11. I agree. n/t

[Mythsaje]

13. I agree...

I really wish some of us wouldn't engage in this sort of thing.

[Bluebear]

14. OK but . . .

I agree about leaving the kids out of it, but it's not like she is going to come on here at 530 am and read it. And why did "family values" Santorum have to drag the whole clan up there if they were that upset? Just sayin'.

[DemBones DemBones]

22. Maybe the kids wanted to go? Wouldn't you want to go to your dad's

headquarters and be with him when he gave his speech? Even if it was a concession speech and you were hurt.

[Bluebear]

23. OK but this picture was in a paper, the OP didn't cut her pony tail off or anything!

:)

[DemBones DemBones]

27. The nasty comments about the photo are unnecessary & sick -- like

when Limbaugh said 12 year-old Chelsea Clinton was the White House dog.

[Bluebear]

28. Fair enough DB, I don't think the OP meant any harm

let the thread drop :)

[truthisfreedom]

12. oh Jesus, take this post down.

there's something wrong. that picture is just plain wrong. it's WAY too Haggard.

[drm604]

15. Don't do this.

Keep the kids out of it. It's unfair to them, and it makes us look bad. We're better than this.

[Big Kahuna]

16. Jeez, just posting a picture you guys

it was in a fricken newspaper, go yell at them.

[Bluebear]

18. But the children!

:hide:

[WaterDog]

17. A Must Save!

This one says it all.

[marions ghost]

19. No need to censor

pictures from a public concession speech.

We've had enough censorship from these "family values" candidates. Family values = they don't own that anymore...:)

Thanks for posting.

[DemBones DemBones]

20. Leave the kids alone! They didn't choose their father and

they have a right tto be sad and, yes, to cry while their dad is conceding his loss. The Gore kids and Tipper teared up when Al gave his great concession speech and none of them were as young as Santorum's youngest daughter.

Also, Santorum wasn't a sore loser. His speech was gracious. Give him credit for that.

26. Dems won big and you're making fun of some kids?

That's sick, dude.

[Binka]

29. They Are Ugly Creatures

It isn't sick it is an opinion. After the myriad things said about the Dem's over the past decade I am really certain this hardly constitutes as a sickness. Thanks for sharing. Are you upset today? Hmm. Interesting

[w4rma]

30. They aren't ugly. They sure look very sheltered, however. (nt)

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. I'm estatic today but, as a mom, I don't think that little girl is ugly at all.

My heart hurts a little for her pain (not his). I worked all day at the polls yesterday, but I'm a mama first. :(

[Binka]

37. It Is Just My Opinion

Not all children are good looking. This isn't political I just think this is a very unattractive family.
I'm sorry the little girl is sad.

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Understood. And mine was that she isn't ugly at all...

:hi: :toast: Now, I'm ready to celebrate a real sweet victory.

[Binka]

44. Now Your Kids Are GORGEOUS!

Just like Mommy! :toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. I felt sorry for his little girl...

Dem or Repub... it must suck to see the state spit on your dad. I'm happy he's out but I feel bad for that little girl. She might grow up to be a Dem you know. :hi:

[Goblinmonger]

35. She just realized her daddy's a douchebag. n/t

[Dogmudgeon]

36. What I dislike about this

Santorum trotted his family out in front of the national press.

He's got his children doing his weeping for him.

Rick Santorum is one incredibly twisted and ugly man. Episodes like this make me realize just how creepy he really is.

Jeeze, they all look like they've been marched into the Royal Basement by the Bolsheviks' elite troops ... "Anastasia screamed in vain".

I have no rancor for the kids; none at all. I feel bad for them, not just because they're distressed that their father lost an election, but that he used them as lens bait.

--p!

[everythingsxen]

38. Just like Al Gore trotted his family out?

Who also cried...

I mean, come on. The man gave a halfway decent concession speech.

He is insane, but I think he actually believes the crazy stuff he spouts and for that I can respect him. Too many politicians are willing to sacrifice their ideals for power. He could have gone for a less crazy approach, but didn't. His views are diametrically opposed to my own beliefs, but as I said, I can at least respect him for his conviction.

[johnnie]

39. A life lesson learned

That little one is 8 years old, she looks older to me. I don't really want to make fun of an 8 year old, but I get the feeling while looking at that picture that the kids are more bummed out that daddy isn't "big man on campus" anymore and that's what is bumming them out.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. At 8, I cried like that when my daddy lost his job at Schlitz, because

I felt that they didn't like him anymore. :(

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

43. Was this her reaction when Ricky.....

....brought home the fetus of her dead sibling to look at?

I feel no pity for this creep and his whacked out wife.

[ContraBass Black]

45. Wouldn't you cry if your father lost his job in a massively public

Humiliation?
