Rick Santorum on Hillary Clinton: 'We’ve Taken Her On'

Apparently Sanitorium is announcing today per ABC news:

Rick Santorum is ready for Hillary, but not in the way her supporters are.

The former Pennsylvania Republican senator turned two-time presidential candidate is in a “great place” to begin “countering a big, top-down, statist approach that Hillary Clinton has advocated,” he said in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos today.

“We’ve taken her on; on everything from moral and cultural issues on the floor of the United States Senate,” said Santorum, who spent several years in the upper chamber alongside then-Sen. Clinton.

Santorum – who wrote “It Takes a Family,” a treatise on the ills of big government, in response to Clinton’s 1996 book, “It Takes a Village” – also touted his book’s success as an indicator of his ability to defeat Clinton.

Critics are saying, “‘you know what, this breakdown of the family that Rick Santorum talked about 12 years ago is really one of the central issues in rebuilding America again,’” he told Stephanopoulos.

but he doesn't offer to women an avenue to equal wages. I don't need a Rick Santorum to tell me what I can and can't do with my body. This is just one problem, there are many more.

Are you NOT paying attention?

WE DO NOT WANT YOU!!!!!!

Pennsylvania has said "NO" and you won't listen.

The Repugs said "NO" in 2012 and you STILL won't listen.

The news said you went to your "hometown" to announce again that you are "running."

Just wondering - why didn't you go to your "home" in Penn Hills - you know, the one you "claimed" to live in when the Penn Hills School District had to pay for cyber-schooling your family while you lived in a 2 million dollar home in Virginia? Did you forget about that place?

Well, we've not forgotten you, Ricky. Really, we have not.

It will not be pretty.

You're right---he'd like to forget about Penn Hills, but we NEVER will.

The local news was covering Santorum's announcement today in Butler County. My husband and I just wanted to hurl.

He's got more immediate issues to worry about, like how to get some more book plugs before people start ignoring him again.

None of them do and it's embarrassing to watch them.

And she beat you like a kid's drum, Tricky Ricky. Or, should we call you "Mr. 23%?"
