Rick Santorum ties Obamacare, Nelson Mandela
Politico ^ | 12-6-13 | LUCY MCCALMONT

As condolences and reflections followed the passing of Nelson Mandela, Rick Santorum linked the injustices the former South African president fought and Obamacare. “He was fighting against some great injustice, and I would make the argument that we have a great injustice going on right now in this country with an ever-increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling people’s lives — and Obamacare is front and center in that,” Santorum said Thursday on Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor.”

So, he’s suggesting that Obamacare amounts to racist, colonialist oppression.

Yeah, Obama and the media are gonna love that.

An asides, those who refer to Mandela as some sort of superior being, Rick included, ought to be asked if they approve of his methods as president of the ANC.

mandela was a genocidal communist

they are committing genocide against white people in South Africa( stage 6 genocide) . google and check images also

the latest trend is rape , and disembowelment of white women in South Africa, with the Sanction of the black government(legacy of Mandela). google this if you think i’m lying

the U.S. news media celebrates this

I was surfing channels last night and came upon the O'Reilly/Santorum interview. O'Reilly was practically shouting, "Nelson Mandela was a Communist, but he was a great man! He was a great man!"

As a Pennsylvanian I wish Rick would just go away. He got trounced by Bob Casey, the most unwatchable, least inspiring politician in my lifetime. Rick has two chances of ever becoming President: None and ABSOLUTELY None. I personally like him. I just think he is now unelectable.

While I do love Rick, bad analogy. The Press, again, will be all over this. You really do have to pick and choose the way you say things because you want the people that don’t listen TO listen. But ... a tempest in a teapot.

Santorum is an absolute fool, and this remark shows why he never could have won and why he never will win. Bone-headed remark.

Good ol' Rick, right on cue saying something unnecessary. Sorry, I think he's a jack-ass.

Aphartheid has sometimes been called “Apart-Hate”.

Isn’t that what the Great Divider has accomplished?

“The media will tear Rick apart for this one..”

Who cares? Anyone who is afraid of a purse-carying, leftist wimp who scribbles nonsense needs to send me a SASE, and I will give them 32 different ways to stomp a liberal’s nuts into the concrete.
