Just moments ago on the Sean Hannity radio show, GOP candidate and RINO Rick Santorum took it upon himself to convict George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. He said, and I’m paraphrasing slightly:
It was a heinous crime and he did a despicable, unjustifiable thing and the Sanford police should have reacted to that immediately.
Again, I am paraphrasing a little as I did not have a recorder running to get his exact words, but that was essentially his statement.

While I don’t think this issue should be a part of the presidential race, Zimmerman put himself in the situation where he had to rely on deadly force. Zimmerman created a situation where he “had” to take the action he did. I am not a Santorum fan and this is just more of Santorum trying to buy some additional votes.
Obama, whose-mom-doesn’t-look-like-Trayvon’s, was quick to call Sandra Fluke, who,if had a daughter would-look-like-Nancy-Pelosi.
When will America’s first post racial president who-doesn’t-look like-any-of-the-presidents-on-our-money, call Trayvon’s mom-who-doesn’t-look-like Cameron Diaz?
Santorum = Italian for “gaffetastic”.
Hannity is ok..but a bit of an irritated blow hard...so is Rush now.
Some of this turkey's recent statements prove that he is way too immature to be given any kind of position of authority. And I'm tired of his whining, too.
Saying someone is guilty before trial makes me question your motive and makes me question your candidacy.
I can't support a person without personal integrity. Cheating on two wives is quite a character statement, in my book.
That's not what this Country needs, no matter how good a talker/debater he is. If you can't control yourself, you can't control the Country."
So then I take it you're not a believer in Christian repentance and redemption?
Exactly, they followed the Florida SYG law to the letter.
This is a political effort to cause racial strife in the US, and another example of how the left treats cops.
No respect for the 2nd Amendment or Property Rights.
The truly disgusting thing about this whole thing is the victim is probably Zimmerman and now we have a true witch hunt going on.
I don’t know if he did anything wrong, I wasn’t there and that’s for the evidence and the grand jury to decide.
This reminds me alot of the Security Guard who was hounded by the media for something, sending anthrax letters I think, but then the police said he didn’t do it. The media hounded him for weeks and made his life miserable and didn’t apologize or say anything when he was innocent.
The media are SCUM.
I’m not a fan of Santorum, but it seems like some are getting awfully nitpicky about his every word. This statement sounds like the typical politician-like thing to say during a media feeding frenzy. When Rick goes against the grain and speaks his mind, he gets ripped apart. When he tries to stay disciplined and not say something controversial that might knock him off his message, he gets ripped apart over that too.
This is a dumb “gotcha” and people uninvolved in a case shouldn’t have to run around using the “alleged”, “possible”, and “maybe”.
It’s assumed.
The precision police on parade. (except when it’s their ox being gored.)
If he suggested this, implied this or stated this, no one with a brain should support this guy.
No joke.
I’ll pay attention when I see a real quote. I refer to Fox for misquotes and Romney PR for paraphrasing thanks.
What does Al Shapron and the others like him, know about Florida laws? People should wait to see all of the facts. Ok, the man may have went over board with his policing of the neighborhood and that needs to be investigated. There are reports of GZ being beat. There are reports that the kid was chased down- Get the facts from the investigation, I say. GZ has his rights- let the facts come out not the things we are reading in the news. If the man is guilty the investigation will show that.
The White House said days ago it was a local matter-now, look what they are doing-DOJ- FBI- FDLE- State attorney investigators, A special prosecutor from the governor’s office- IF the Man is Innocent he will be Railroaded, my guess. I have to wait to know more. But these people are going in the wrong direction. GZ is Black/Latino. The media calling this a hate crime. Look at all of the money being spent and they by pass the local authority when Obama said it was a Local law enforcement matter. Proves all liberals Never will understand how the laws in which we have for our protection, works. It is innocent until proven guilty, okay- Not, let’s go with the public convicting a person. If the man is guilty, the facts will come out.
(This is why people like Rick Santorum, Jeb Bush and others alike need not be in charge-the only one who has made sense was Newt saying let the investigation move forward) Please God let the Santorum supporters to wake up to a better choice.
Psst...Adultry is usualy the RESULT of a bad marriage...not the cause of a bad marriage.
Research Reagan a bit...
HERE is what Newt said last night on CNN when Piers Morgan tried ti bait HIM into an opinion on the shooting:

I don’t hear Newt saying ANYTHING even CLOSE to what Ricky said. In fact he handled it WAY better by evading the trap Morgan tried to coax him into that Ricky fell in.
Here is the CNN interview link:

Newt didn’t fall for Morgan’s trap.
HE is apparently as omniscient as Obama!
