I agree with your analysis and am baffled by the harshness of some freepers’ posts. There's no way Santorum supports the clowns protesting on Wall Street. He was just trying to criticize the left politely. Shrewd on Santorum’s part? No. But that doesn't mean Santorum doesn't know anything about economics. Let's not eat our own, folks!

He jumped the gun once to support a clown named Arlen Specter.

Right on, Rick! I completely understand it too...

They’re frustrated that the Hopeychangey change they voted for, the Marxist takeover of America, hasn’t progressed fast enough.

They’re frustrated that Obama isn’t buying them houses or putting gas in their cars (but is shuffling hundred million dollar loans to his buddies).

They’re frustrated that their simplistic Che Guevara chants and Leninist philosophies aren’t working.

I understand they’re frustrated. And I’m absolutely ecstatic they’re frustrated, too!

People should tweet that so that the little trust fund babies, hippies, commies, and union thugs can see for themselves how badly they are being played.

I understand their frustration, too. They have been given everything they desire for so long, by so many (parents, governemnt, etc) that now, facing the stark truth that their failure to learn a trade and build a work ethic has left them utterly helpless and useless...... and now they revert back to what has always worked, throwing a tantrum.

I did tweet it and a friend did as well. Mine went to Pat Dollard, expose liberals, Andy Breitbart, and a friend in Europe who just lives to agitate lefties.

I think it’s almost humorous when you hear these people get mad at the banks because they were bailed out with taxpayer money. The thought never crosses their minds (I know, assuming facts not in evidence: that they have minds) to blame the people who freaking bailed them out. Banks can ask for bailouts all they want, but unless the representatives and senators and presidents say, “Sure, have some of Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ money,” they can’t get any. It’s like politicians blaming lobbyists for corruption. If you weren’t corrupt, you miserable piece of crap, then the lobbyists wouldn’t be able to buy you.

Santorum has gone round the bend. Every time I see him on Greta, I want to say “Just shut the hell up, Rick!”

Rick may understand the frustration, but the protesters DON’T.

Both he and Michael Steele seemed to say the right things when I heard them on Bill Bennett’s radio show, but when they were other places, they were different people.

What’s wrong with him? He shouldn’t even bother showing up at the next debate. No one liked the bailouts but they did pay back the TARP money. Last thing we need right now is a run on the banks like Durbin has been calling for.

I understand the frustration of having to pay for stuff that you don’t own.

Frustration? WTF was he thinking? They aren't frustrated! They're lazy no-goods! I'd have expected more from him. Pandering against your principles shows nothing except that you're a whore.

I wouldn’t have voted for him anyway. This just confirms my choice....his pandering was just totally plain-ass crazy.
