I know a lot of others won't agree, but I feel the same way...

I also agree. Santorum is a sanctimonious prick, but he IS a true believer in what he says. He's the only one in the race other than Ron that I believe that about.

LOL hold off on saying it for sure until till we see the post game show.

post game will be terrible. Luntz just told us he can get a crowd to say whatever he wants.

Gawd these sob stories are all pandering for votes, disgusting.

I would have punched that doctor that wouldn't give my dying daughter oxygen. Santorum's story is actually heartbreaking, I hope he's not using it for political purposes.

Can someone please explain to me how Herman Cain had stage IV cancer and has been running for President for months and the issue of recurrence and remission has never been discussed in detail?

 

[Publicani]

What's the punch line, Santorum?

 

[Tod]

Cain isn't even paying attention to Santorum's story....

 

[Bruno]

Santorum monopolizing the speech with one he has probably given many times. Touching, but he know what he is doing. - winning votes

 

[sailingaway]

He said that exact line but without breaking down at the last Values forum. It does make the choking up seem fake.

Yech. Kudos to Ron for not doing this.

 

[Corey]

I think Beck ruined the idea of crying as a political tool, for most people. Now I have a hard time believing it anytime anyone cries in politics.

 

[SchleckBros]

wow I'm even tearing up.

 

[Koz]

I know a lot of others won't agree, but I feel the same way...

I totally agree, as much as I think Santorum is a fool, he is the only one up there other than RP that is not bulshitting everyone. Kinda creepy really.

That would probably be racist.

He's up on stage in a political forum. So yes it is for political purposes. Thats the same reason that no matter how sincer Cain was it was disgusting. Using a personal tradgedy like that to pander for votes is SICK.

 

[trey4sports]

good story though.

 

[Fermli]

take more time Santorum

 

[jsingh1022]

What's the punch line, Santorum?

"Dad, you didn't do anything."

 

[pauliticalfan]

Obamacare...

 

[Publicani]

It was about Obamacare?

He's telling it during a debate, of course he's using it for political purposes. However, that doesn't make it any less sad. He just ran the clock out on the debate though...
