During an appearance at the South Carolina National Security Action Summit last week, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) fielded a question from an angry attendee about President Obama's executive actions on immigration.
The woman grilled Santorum about Congress' inability to reverse Obama's executive actions.
"Why is the Congress rolling over and letting this communist dictator destroy my country?" she asked Santorum. "You all know what he is, and I know what he is. I want him out of the White House. He's not a citizen. He could have been removed a long time ago."
She later mentioned that "Obama tried to blow up a nuke in Charleston a few months ago."
Santorum appeared confused and uncomfortable throughout her question, and someone had to cut her off so that Santorum could respond.

Next, the candidate gives a fact free answer from a script written for him right wing billionaire egotists who like to give presidential candidates a lot of cash and a script to read from based on an old Birch Society tract. I didn't know what the senator was talking about, did you?

(31,849 posts)He's questioning the Supremacy of the SCOTUS? I thought that was decided at that Marbury v Madison Bridge.
And he claims to have pushed back on that? Must have been quite the push since something of that magnitude would have shaken the legal world to its foundation.

(10,271 posts)in the first instance, he's using these peoples' fear to further his own ambitions and couldn't care less about either the consequences OR his own lack of (supposed) Morality.
In the case of the latter, he believes it just as much as all the Crazies, and how sad is that (and therefore, how much more truly fucked does that make us as a nation...)
I'm gonna go with the first, as its highly unlikely that he's that stupid.
In either case however, he needs an IMAX tattoo on his forehead, because that level of Projection should come with brand marketing.

(5,106 posts)I've honestly come to believe, however, that he may be a true believer about his very right wing philosophy. This despite his wife's now well-known background, showing some typical Republican hypocrisy on his part. Lil' Ricky truly seems to feel that it's his way or the highway. Sooner or later the rest of us "will see the light." This makes him a truly scary man, but still not a truly viable Republican candidate. He may be deluded. but he'll stay determined. That gives him a modicum of unwilling respect, or makes him truly delusional.
