It is folly, if not sheer madness, to think that a former U.S. senator who lost his last re-election campaign in a home-state landslide could possibly turn around and be elected president.
Or at least that’s what conventional wisdom would say. It’s a good thing for Rick Santorum that conventional wisdom, especially in politics, is usually preternaturally stupid. It’s also a good thing for Rick Santorum that he has a history of making absolute fools of the Washington chattering classes. Santorum, the courageously conservative former two-term U.S. House member and two-term senator from Pennsylvania, is openly considering a run for the White House. Conservative leaders and voters are preternaturally stupid if they don’t at least give him a serious hearing.
“The world has changed; America has changed,” said Santorum over coffee on June 29. Santorum was too polite to put it in quite the following terms, but I will: When Santorum lost in 2006, the Republican “brand” had been severely defaced by the Bush administration’s mangling of the Iraqi war effort (pre-surge) combined with the ham-handed response to Hurricane Katrina and with the horrendous Bush-Hastert big-government axis on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. But the Democrats had not yet had a chance to show their disdain for American traditions of individual liberty, or their disdain for the majority of American voters. That year, 2006, was the year Republicans lost the House and Senate in electoral slaughters nationwide. It was before the buyer’s remorse against Obamacare, before the Tea Parties, the town hall revolts, the Scott Brown election in Massachusetts, the sharp movement of independent voters away from the Democrats, and before cultural issues such as the Black Panthers and the NASA Muslim outreach enraged ordinary Americans against leftists alien to middle American mores. The country has moved a long way in Santorum’s direction in the past four years.

What has the weather been like where you’re at? It’s been pretty crazy here. I guess I must be addicted to the internet because I spend way to much time with my browser, checking out the local and national weather, looking at Pug pictures and stuff like that. I finally found something that can actually make a difference. Let’s face it, if I can make money with this software, so can you. You don’t need a website or really any previous experience. The system comes with complete instructions. This thing is called “Instant Cash Empire”. I think it looks legit and I found the loophole so that you can get this system at a discount. When you go to the sales page listed below, don’t order from that page. Instead, just close the window and it will try to make you stay for a different offer. I think is does that 1 or 2 times before you get to the page that offers the discount! (Just keep hitting ‘cancel’ until you get the discount page).
