Rick Santorum has joined WorldNetDaily, a conspiracy theory blog best known for its indefatigable work advancing the birther movement, as an exclusive columnist.
The former Pennsylvania senator, who was voted out of office in 2006, will use the perch to remain in the conservative consciousness as he eyes another presidential bid in 2016. His column will be featured on the site every Monday.
Santorum joins WorldNutDaily’s infamous cast of winguts, bigots, religious extremists and village idiots. Sharing space with the likes of Chuck Norris, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Pat Boone and Pamela Geller, Ricky should be well prepared to take another stab at the Republican nomination in 2016. Looking forward to those debates.
Republican candor from the Right side of the political aisle is always refreshing to me because…it is usually always either so rare or so mistaken or so simply – - -not there!
And this because Santorum has got to be one of the most dangerous, narrow-minded, sanctimonious assholes coming out of a political party that has made the advancement of ignorance and stupidity its hallmark.

You’ll have to agree, I think, that the following Santorum ad is as hilarious as it is dumb.
You can add insidious to dumb and hilarious in describing this ad. Watch again and see if you can catch what happens at the 40 second mark.
If you missed it, here it is slowed down for you compliments of ThinkProgress.
These people have no shame which is what makes them so dangerous. Imagine the uproar from Fox and the rest of the conservative noise machine had an Obama ad used subliminal messaging of this sort.
Given an electorate of informed, knowledgeable people, stuff like the Santorum ad would immediately backfire and be seen for what it is – a deceitful, lying, steaming pile of stupidity. But given a nation where most voters are woefully uninformed (same could be said about most countries of the world, BTW), ads like this further entrench irrational hate for this President in the minds of fools and idiots.
So, if one wasn’t quite sure whether or not Barack Obama is an evil foreigner out to destroy their America, Rick Santorum hopes to help them along in making that decision. Just don’t expect honesty and fair play to be part of how he does it.
A senior adviser to Newt Gingrich told The Huffington Post Tuesday night the campaign likes the idea of Rick Santorum and Gingrich running on the same ticket for the presidency and vice presidency.
“Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would make a powerful team against Barack Obama,” the adviser said on the condition that his name not be used. “They have the capability to deny Gov. Romney the nomination.”
How much fun would that be? A sanctimonious creep and a megalomaniac facing off against Obama and Biden. Santorum was unelectable as is. With Gingrich on the ticket, it really would be the stuff of dreams for liberals and Democrats.
Actually, a Santorum/Gingrich ticket would end up being a good thing for the country. It would give the electorate a chance to get a clear look at the two political parties and make a decision on the direction they want their country to take. A Romney win in the primaries would have him step back from his radical right-wing positions in hope of attracting independents. I doubt Santorum would do the same. Rick Santorum is who he is and makes no apologies for it. Romney, on the other hand, is whomever people need him to be at any given moment. He’s the type of man who straps his dog to the top of the family car if he believed it helped him get to wherever it was he wanted to go. Santorum might be an evangelical zealot and nutcase but his beliefs are real.
I don’t think I’d put money on a Santorum/Gingrich ticket ever coming together but it is a pleasant thought.
Santorum/Gingrich 2012.

“Woodstock is the great American orgy. This is who the Democratic Party has become. They have become the party of Woodstock. They prey upon our most basic primal lusts, and that’s sex. And the whole abortion culture, it’s not about life. It’s about sexual freedom. That’s what it’s about. Homosexuality. It’s about sexual freedom.”
You have to feel for Rick’s children and the psychological damage being inflicted upon them by what is obviously a man who suffers from mental illness, most likely some form of sexual repression.
