Is Santorum Really a Fool?

Tricky Ricky is at it again. He's beating the war drums for George W. Bush. One of the chief cheerleaders for the lies about Saddam and Iraq, this fool thinks he can fool us again into another disastrous war. This time he's aiming for Iran. What, did you mix up your countries last time? Get Iraq mixed up with Iran? It doesn't matter Ricky because everyone now knows you're a fool, especially when it comes to national security. That whole wmd dog and pony show you and Hokester tried to pull did nothing but illustrate the fact you are an emporer with no clothes on these issues.

There's an old saying, fool me once it's your fault, fool me twice it's mine. America isn't buying into being made a fool of again. The rhetoric about Iran is the same bullshit he said about Saddam. They were lies then and they're lies now. Iran is no more a threat to our strategic national interests than anyone else. They're years and years away from any possible nuclear device. And why is it alright for India and Pakistan to develop nukes (with our blessings) but not Iran? Who are we to decide? .....and people wonder why they hate us.....

Yes, the president of Iran may be a nut case who loves making strong statements against Israel. News flash: that's Israel's security problem, not ours. It isn't our responsibility to defend Israel. What's more the president in Iran is mostly a ceremonial position. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad really cannot do much, he doesn't have any power. The mullahs run Iran.

Then there's all this foolishness from Sanitorium about Islamic Fascism. Answer this: how is that different from your American fascism? You want to creat a theocracy and criminalize sex. You want to criminalize the same things the Taliban did in Afghanistan. Frankly I don't see much difference between Islamic fundamentalist nutcases and Christian fundamentalist nutcases. Sometimes the only way is to look for the burkhas.

There's one thing we've learned about Rick Santorum in 12 years: the man is a fool. He lied about Iraq. He lied about those weapons of mass destruction. Now he's lying about Iran. His statements about women and gays have embarassed us all. We've ashamed to have him as our Senator. This is the year we rid oursleves of this fool. Since Santorum is so enamored of K Street I say let him get a job there after this term expires.

I'm tired of this fool. His foolishness has cost too many people their lives and property.
