Oh, the GOP and Rick S do plenty stupid, no doubt there. But the finer point you're not getting is the running joke of how the " elites ", the ones running most of this nation's universities ( and entirely the Ivy league system ) , are all extreme, far Left wingers, and how they have everyone conned into this view that they're the smartest folks around. There were some muffled laughs in the audience, but Santorum wasn't trying to be 'ha-ha' funny. No, he was making a point.

Here's a dare: Can any of you righties even TRY to say something negative about ANYTHING on the right? I wanna see what happens if you try. But of course it won't happen, because every single thing in the world that anyone on the right has ever done is perfect...riiight.

Why should we ? The MSM fabricates enough negative press already, while completely ignoring real issues the Left is guilty off, almost on a daily basis. To point out legitimate faults of the Right would only seem like piling on, while giving the Left all that much more of a free pass.

I suspect you know all this, but are merely doing your part at feigning dirt stupid, because you know the Left is so completely and totally full of go-se, that you'll do and say anything to keep that stink from getting on you.

I bet a few are even dumb enough to actually believe it. Oh, hi Rappy!

After weeks of talks, after late-night confabs that ran into the wee hours... they came up with the idea that "It was just a joke!"

That's the best they can do?


Although honestly, I do agree: Santorum, Romney, Ryan, and the entire GOP really *are* a joke!

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

I absolutely love it; the only response to a dare to say anything negative: "Why should we ?" Beautiful. I was right, his head WOULD explode!

Well, my head WOULDN'T explode, and I have no fear whatsoever of saying the ACTUAL bad things done by Democrats. Not the silliness Raptor expounds--I sometimes wonder, is he even capable of actual mental exercise, or just puppets what he hears without engaging the brain?

I guess it's the fact that they firmly believe all university professors--scratch that--all TEACHERS are "elite" (socialist?) that keeps the Republicans working so hard to diss education. What a strange mentality, to put down learning in favor of ignorance...

Admitting anything negative about the right would give the left a "free pass". Here. On an unnoticed website by fans of a long-cancelled sci fi series. Yeah, of course it would...nice try! Naw, amend that, it wasn't even a good try. Just evasion.

He was right, too, Mike, "intellegence" has nothing to do with it.

Forgetful Niki, I've already said plenty bad about the GOP. But you just want me to add more fuel to the fire, as I've already said, because it detracts from the horrific track record of the Dems. That, I will never do, because far more times than not, the destruction and evil ( pure evil ) of the Left is destroying this country and is more damaging to our society than you not getting the point Santorum was making.

It was a joke. He was being sarcastic. Call it being passive aggresive, if that makes you understand better. But this beyond childish ranting by you and others that it was anything other than a joke is simply pathetic.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
