Have you ever heard someone say just about anything to get what they want?
Well, that appears to be what Rick Santorum has been doing in an attempt to excite his conservative Republican base and beat Mitt Romney in today’s Arizona and Michigan primaries.
During a pre-election stump speech, Santorum used both the past and the present to give a little red meat to his carnivorous conservative colleagues. He completely misconstrued the meaning of an old John F. Kennedy speech on religious freedom, saying the speech makes him want to throw up. He then mangled a recent speech by President Obama, calling him a “snob” for wanting Americans to seek higher education.
But leave it to Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” to point out the hypocrisy in Santorum’s poor logic as self-serving and political baiting.

On the contrary, whenever he's challenged on his conflicting views he tends to double-down on them and make even more extreme comments. The man really is a piece of work. He's also a perfect standard-bearer for Teavangelicals and other right-wing Haters… Read more »
