Santorum: "It's BullS$%T!"

March 26, 2012 @ 7:32 am

Much is being made of Rick Santorum calling "Bullsh#t!" on a NYT reporter who asked him about his statement that "Romney was the worst Republican in the country." Santorum berated the reporter for misquoting him and "lying." Santorum said he was talking about the health care issue and that he didn't say "Romney was the worst Republican in the country" but that "Romney as the worst Republican in the country to challenge Obama on health care." The video shows Santorum is right, but will his irritation with the media hurt him?

To a certain extent it doesn't matter. At this point Santorum needs over 70% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination. It will not happen. In his crushing victory in Louisiana, he'll only get about 66% of the proportional delegates at stake and he not get margins like that outside of the South. However, his campaign's effort is pivoting in the same direction as Newt's--namely, not to win, but to prevent Romney from winning. That's a more difficult prospect, and an outburst like this might give the impression that he's cracking under the pressure--losing his cool.

But I'm not so sure.

Santorum has the reputation as a goody-two-shoes. Santorum already has the evangelical vote under wraps and they're not going to leave him for this. This shows a guy with a real (and under control) temper calling B.S. as he sees it. Who knows? Maybe it will make some give him a second look who've had reservations about Romney?

Ultimately though, while seeking to keep Romney from the nomination, Santorum has to keep in mind the ultimate objective. If he seeks to mortally wound Romney's campaign but fails to keep him from the nomination, Santorum becomes Obama's best friend.

    That reporter wasn't paying attention to what Rick was saying. I think that there are more important stories in our world than if Rick Santorum said BS. Grow up people!

    I got one for ya, DB. You can start to call him President Elect. Or Romney.

    Maybe whichever one of them is elected, they can open the "Office of the President Elect." Just like the Dear Leader immaculated did!

    The sitting vice-president often runs for president after the second term, so it could be Joe Biden.

    You can bet I won't be voting for Romney now that he's taken a huge first step in his attempt to restart the cold war.

    but after the Republicon party is so decimated by the huge losses come this November the Democrats won't have any competition, making it possible for even Joe Biden to be elected president.

    As for your other question, Romney declared Russia our mortal enemy and is already in the planning process for a new nuclear arms race with the Asian continent.
