Rick Santorum appears to be eyeing the White House again, with the former Pennsylvania senator telling Newsmax TV’s Steve Malzberg that he may run for president in 2016.
“I’m certainly leaving the door open for that,” Santorum revealed on “The Steve Malzberg Show” Wednesday afternoon. …
“The same advisors who botched these last two campaigns are now saying, ‘Well, you know, since we can’t win with moderate Republicans, we have to now try to be liberal Republicans to win instead of standing up for the values that made our country great,’” he said. …

This is excellent news. I hope he does run.
Seems like we need a good looking nominee. How’d that Romney fella work out.
Oh noes! He’s an evil socon.
Apt username.
Sez Newtbot12.
I can proudly stand behind his public positions, but there’s no way in hell this guy should ever be the GOP nominee. He’s symptomatic of everything that is wrong with the American political scene these days. He’s a lifetime political hack who has spent his entire career at the public trough and in Beltway “think tanks,” and doesn’t have a clue about what it means to work for an honest living.
Right, he split the conservative base by earning the most states and votes among conservatives.
I see how that works.
Actually it would be Sir Newt who split the conservative base from Santorum costing him three crucial states in our war against Romney and thus ensuring Obama’s re-election.
As some Freepers warned more than a year ago.
Rick, can’t you take a hint? go out and get a real job.
I agree with you.
Two ‘candidates’ who were just play running to get TV time
A little known house member with zero chance of being noticed
Rick, a Senator who lost his re-election (last elected job), then ran in 2012 primary and lost again
Another play act candidate with zero experience and a closet full of angry wimmin from his past waiting to come out who have copies of checks he wrote to them (thanks Herman)
A ex-House Speaker who resigned in disgrace (too many problems to list) > 10 years ago and whose career is opinion TV since then, whose positions have been all over the map
And of course the winner Mr super billionaire 47% Mormon who was a single term gov of the most libs state who flipped every position to win the primary then avoided all those issues in the general (best he could).
This is exactly how Santorum strikes me, too. I don't think he's capable of playing in the big leagues.
Among the issues brought up by candidates in the 2012 race
Santorum is the only candidate who raised the issue of the high cost and the value of a college degree for jobs that don’t really require such...got shot down..by RINOS, GOPES, and Demo-coms..and of course the “Education Industry”
Santorum was the only candidate whon raised the issue of population control ...got shot down...While everybody worries the our population is not reproducing and has to depend on Mexico for a cheap labor source...That issue every RINO..GOPE...and pundit including many FR’s too stupid bought into nor looked beyond what the socialist front for the regime MSM was selling .
If he does decide to run he better have a better organization than what he had last time
AND HERE IS THE THEME I URGE HIM TAKE AND USE IN HIS EFFORT
IT’S TIME TO GET THIS GOVERNMENT
OUT OF OUR FACES AND OUR POCKETBOOKS

Yes. Looking for money. With the right accountants and some well-placed “looking away” in the RNC, one could steal a buttload from their campaign.
I have to agree that there’s something about Santorum that comes across as unlikeable & whiny, even “weaselly”. Sad, because I do agree with him on quite a few points, but he just reads as weak & untrustworthy.
NO !!!!
Let’s break the failed strategy of recycling losers from the last election.
Get a job doing something constructive and stay away from politics.
Memo to DC Pubbies: how about focusing on stopping Obama and his minions, and less talk about the next election?
The Bible-Thumpers don’t seem to realize that Rick Santorum is a creature of the Establishment through and through. His actions in support of Arlen Specter over Toomey should clue them in, but there are none so blind...
Santorum is merely a vote-bleeder, someone who has no chance whatsoever of winning the nomination, but who will split the socon vote enough that the preferred RINO candidate will win. And, after the damage is done, Rick will have all his debts paid off (like last time) and get a nice check for his troubles (like last time).
Some people never learn...
Where’s my sweater vest ?
-——Santorum is merely a vote-bleeder——
Also, he is a damn fool loser with a Napoleon complex
Noooooo. Not again.
Santorum couldn’t beat the guy who couldn’t beat the guy who couldn’t beat Obama.
