Santorum on Romneycare

Posted by on Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 11:53 AM

Last night, Romney surrogate Rick Santorum was called upon to attack the Supreme Court's Obamacare decision. Instead, he gleefully tore into Romneycare, saying it "hasn't worked" due to "a series of problems."(Maybe he had a Republican debate flashback and forgot he was supposed to be on Romney's side?) When Piers Morgan described Romneycare for Santorum as "a catastrophic disaster," Santorum didn't reject that description. Instead, he said that Romney made mistakes as governor and has learned from them, which makes him a better candidate. Here's video:

The thing is, Rick Santorum is not a very good politician. We just lived through months of evidence of this fact, and it's kind of stunning that the Romney campaign keeps employing him to speak for their candidate. Romney's people should know that Santorum goes from a trickle to a flood without any warning at all. Santorum simply cannot be contained.

DO NOT WATCH PIERS MORGAN.

PERIOD.

The man is total scum and belongs in a British jail cell, and hopefully will be relocated into one very soon. CNN's continuing to employ him is just further proof of how low they've sunk. Santorum's a bad man too, but his shits are lovelier than Morgan on a good day.

My guess is that Santorum (ha!) is trying to head off the nearly inevitable "Well Mr. Romney, you oppose Obamacare? But you did the exact same thing in MA! How did that work for you?" argument.

Or maybe he is a guileless dickhead. I guess Occam's Razor is clear on that one.

Nice double entendre there at the end, Paul!

Why do these putz's opinions matter at all? I mean, aside from them being politicians (failed politicians, in Frothy's case).

Mittens's idea of health care is buying $100,000 horses as 'therapy' for his ailing wife.

Santorum also can afford to pay out-of-pocket for his disabled daughter's enormous healthcare expenses.

Oh, right. Pointing out their advantages is me engaging in 'class warfare'.

he's not a very good politician, but he's the front runner for the 2016 GOP nomination. as runner up, it's "his turn", as Ann Rmoney would say.

The right wing always cite the increase in medical costs in Massachusetts as healthcare failure. But heathcare costs have increased everywhere. And doctors say it's working. So Santorum fail. Again.
