Hey Ricky

Oh Ricky, what a pity. You don't understand!

Understanding

"I don't consider myself a conservative ideologue," Santorum responded.

That says it all right there, if you ask me. Especially coming from someone on the conservative side of the more conservative of what would be, in most other countries, two main conservative parties. And he really thinks that he's a moderate?

It would be laughable...

...if there weren't American lives and so much at stake, for Mr. Conservative to try to back away from the label he wore so proudly for so long.

I'm reminded of Dan Savage's description of the definition of "santorum" (let's just say it ain't pretty...and possibly something the Rev. Haggard knows about). How true, how true...

Say buh-bye, Ricky...your reign of incompetence and ignorance is over, and mine isn't the only PA household that'll be celebrating tonight.

He's THAT desperate

"I tell you Rick, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you are a conservative."

Of course not

He's a Christo-Facist Ideologue

He's a reactionary ideologue

Santorum's right. He's far, far too much of a right-wing nut job to be a conservative. A conservative is someone who supports fiscal responsibility and limited government. Santorum supports government intervention into private medical matters of life-or-death (see: Terri Schiavo) and unrestrained deficits (see: every Republican budget since 2000).

So, Rick's right, however pathetically hilarious he's become.

Good luck w/ that future lobbying gig, Rick -- and don't let that down hit you on the way out.

I don't consider myself to be...

Stupid! But you are, 'lil Ricky.
