Santorum: ‘It should be illegal to read off a teleprompter’

[rustydog]

In Rick Santorum’s perspective, no presidential candidate should ever be allowed to use a teleprompter on the campaign trail.

This guy is a SERIOUS GOP presidential candidate! He is effing stealing Palin's losing lines!

1. WTF?!?! So he would also ban reading from paper, right?

Because it's the exact same thing.

"Because all you’re doing is reading someone else’s words to people"

Again...WTF? What does that have to do with a teleprompter? So if you write your own speech, entirely, and load it into the teleprompter...they somehow become someone else's words because they're displayed on a teleprompter?

2. You are treading on dangerous ground...Isn't the BIBLE someone else's words?????

[Aerows]

8. Why not?

Catholics banned owning the Bible and people reading it for centuries. The only people allowed to read it were priests who "interpreted it" for people.

It's not surprising that Santorum is against education. I assume his plan is that he is the sole interpreter of the written word.

3. Yeah, we could have impeached Reagan for it.

[Betsy Ross]

4. He's right.

I'm gonna give up reading anybody else's words anywhere.

11. Aren't there enough silly ass laws on the books already?

Most of them were probably put there by silly ass rethuglicans.


This clown is really getting desperate.
