Santorum clarifies remarks on sticking with Obama
By Samuel P. Jacobs
(Reuters) - Rick Santorum tried on Friday to clarify his remarks that Americans might as well stick with President Barack Obama rather than elect Republican rival Mitt Romney, and accused reporters of swallowing the Romney camp's spin on the White House race.
<...>
"I'll vote for whoever the Republican nominee is," Santorum told reporters after firing some practice shots at a Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office shooting range.
"Barack Obama is a disaster. But we can't have someone who agrees with him on some of the greatest issues of the day. That's the problem with Governor Romney, he doesn't provide the clear choice we need in order to win this election," he said.
On Thursday, Santorum told a Texas crowd that if Republicans nominated someone who was just a little different from Obama, then "we may as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk."

Are people becoming more gullible or is it simply that the Republican Presidential candidates are clowns?
TRENDING: Santorum video: 'Obamaville' is a house of horrors
<...>
The visuals conjure a horror film or the old TV series, "The Twilight Zone."
<...>
It's called "Welcome to Obamaville."
The brief web video is a taste of an upcoming eight-episode series that showcases what the campaign says is Obama's incompetence and the harsh reality of life in America during his watch
In one image, a silhouetted figure holding a gas pump nozzle to his head accompanies the warning of rising gas prices...as the ghostly music begins to build and the piece nears conclusion, the narrator warns against "a sworn American enemy" and a television flickers between images of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Obama.
<...>
John Brabender, a senior advisor to Santorum, told CNN the campaign has no plans to purchase airtime for the video.

So while Republicans are plotting to deport Hispanics, enslave blacks, criminalize being gay, oppress women, pillage the poor and scare seniors, this moron is trying to portray President Obama as enemy?

"The ad is Getting lots more dislikes than likes on youtube"
...it was a rhetorical question. Clearly the the GOP candidates are clowns.
I forgot to highlight it in the OP, but this moronic clip is part of a series.

...from the performance artist formerly known as Herman Cain to "blah people" to "Etch-A-Sketch," and the clown car keeps careening toward the cliff.
