Karen Santorum on 2012 Race: It's 'about going on to the battlefield and defending God’s truth

[RamboLiberal]

Karen Santorum says the 2012 presidential race, in which her husband, Rick, is a likely Republican candidate, is "not just another political race. It’s about going on to the battlefield and defending God’s truth in the world." The Santorums talked to Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, and Ms. Santorum explained what "God's truth" means:

Defending the secredness of marriage. Defending the sanctity of life. So I see it a little differently because I know it's going to be literally on a battlefield, and it's going to be really hard. So there is a lot of reservation. But it really boils down to God's will. What is it that God wants?

She says the couple has "prayed a lot about the decision" and the former senator's decision--apparently she's referring to his forming a presidential exploratory committee--"is what God wants."

For his part, Rick Santorum didn't wait long after the killing of Osama bin Laden to criticize President Obama's foreign policy. The raid was "well orchestrated," Santorum said, but "That's one isolated area as opposed to the president's foreign policy and how it's affecting our security. The president's foreign policy with respect to our security is to make our allies less confident in us and has resulted in them distancing themselves from us," he said Monday night to the Family Leader presidential series, a Christian event, according to the Des Moines Register's Jennifer Jacobs. "And our enemies, those who have engaged us and are battling us, I think they are less fearful and less respectful of us."

21. I agree, Magistrate. Delusion to the nth degree.

3. Dear Santorums,

Please get, or go find, a life far far away from the United States, please. Im sure you'll fit in nicely at the Vatican.

4. God's Will

If God really made things happen the way these folks seem to think he does, McCain would have won and dropped dead a month later. Sister Sarah would be leading the crusade against evil doers here and abroad.

God certainly would not have allowed that heathen who never goes to Church Obama to become President.

22. someone needs to tell her to go google her husband and then

ask God what he thinks of that.

7. Rick & Karen's "God" is Ayn Rand.

And Rick will fizzle the same way the Atlas Shagged movie did!

13. you got it. Perfect.

9. If God was really interested, all of the entries for Santorum would change to "frothy anal leakage".

I'm sure Republicans would vote for the "frothy anal leakage" anyway, but that would be proof that God exists.

10. Dear Mrs. Santorum,

If God loved you, you would not be named after the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

11. Post the video of his concession

And the screaming woman from the crowd when he said he had called Casey to congratulate him.

One of my all time favorite schaudenfreude moments.

12. Just replace "God" with "Allah" and see how that 'plays in Peoria.'

That would be entertaining.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Santorum is stickin' to it.

You've got to admire the consistency that santorum demonstrates, even when deposited in an unfamiliar situation.

[Permanut]

15. Okay, let's see, God is omnipotent,

omnipresent, he's the dude that lit the fuse for the big bang (dang I wish I coulda been there!), he's the big kahuna, the boss, the director in charge of pretty much everything, he made Newton's laws and Einstein's theories (they just discovered them), he makes supernovas and puppies, and yet he needs these two clowns to assist in "defending God's truth in the world."

They apparently have a different God than I do.

[HockeyMom]

16. As a mother, I say to you, Mrs. Santorum,

You need serious counseling for child abuse. Yes, as a mother, I consider bringing home a dead fetus sibling to your young children to be child abuse.

Please do NOT impose your psychosis on America's families. As a mother myself, I find you despicable.

[Angry Dragon]

17. They talk in circles

What is god's will??
What does god want??
Which allies??
Which enemies??

They never give facts just throw some words out there and hope they stick

edit: spelling

[indepat]

19. God's will is for rabidly RW forces in the USA to rule the world: that's what he wants for the

RW ideology embraces everything God considers to be holy, virtuous, reichous, and sanctimonious, to wit, RW ideology is the distilled essence of God's idea of pure de goodness. :patriot:

20. here's a few words from God...I'm assuming He's the one...

http://www.occv.org/care-for-the-poor

Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me? Jeremiah 22:15-16

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. Proverbs 14:31



If you abide by those simple thoughts,you'll have God's support. Go against them...and you'll join the other Republicans in Satan's Realm
Just saying.
