The election looks like being a circus anyway so it may as well be an entertaining circus. Obama vs Romney would be soooo boring.

But Obama vs this guy – now that's the stuff of dreams

Is this another of your satires Steven? This guy is a religious nut that wants to expand military spending and sees China as being the new axis of evil.

Israel can protect itself Steven,it has over 200 nukes.The USA needs to set Israel free to grow up and suffer the consequences of it's own actions.

Spot-on, Arjay ! You'd expect some right-winger like Steven to support a neo-con like Santorum. They probably both believe in 9/11.

And what sort of name is 'Santorum', anyway ? Sounds a bit Swedish to me.

That would be right :(

The devil's in the detail and I'm unsure about the Swedishness... but it does provide the delightful Spoonerism -

Sick Rant orum

Dear stephenlmeyer,

It has become a little hackneyed but the Chinese curse ’Many you live in interesting times’ and the proverb ’Be careful what you wish for’ seem quite apt here.

That is not to say I haven't been thoroughly enjoying the Republican primaries my self. They have been great theatre. I could have worn Huntsman at a pinch but the rest? Total coo-coo land. There were some parts of Ron Paul’s campaign I liked but the rest is just insane. However even at his worst he is better than vapidly shallow, totally corrupt or unrepentantly hypocritical that seems to be the best description of the other three.

I did like the definition of Santorum that some gay activists managed to massage google into displaying when you typed in his name.

However I'm not above feeling my pleasures and yours come at the expense of what once was a great nation and perhaps the wellbeing of the rest of the world.

Arjay,

Rick Santorum is beyond my power to satirise. In fact I do not think even Monty Python could have come up with a Rick Santorum.

Oh, and, by the way, my post has nothing to do with Israel.

WmTrevor

I believe the Santorum name is of Italian origin.

BTW, like Rudd, Santorum seems to have exaggerated the extent of his working-class origins.

csteele

I take your point. But perhaps what America needs is a showdown.

My hope would be that, were Santorum the nominee, he would suffer a monumental defeat dragging a sizeable portion of the Republican Party down with him. That kind of shock therapy might be just what the Republican Party needs to rebuild itself.

Of course there is always the chance that he could win – especially if the economy goes south. In that case we may be in for interesting times. Or, more likely, Santorum will be revealed as just another opportunist who talks the talk while on the campaign trail and then governs like any other president.

What is remarkable about US politics is just how rare discontinuities are. I don't mean that changes of direction never occur. They do. But it's usually a slow bending of the curve that lasts over many administrations rather than a sharp change.

Loudmouth

I am not sure what you mean by "believe in 9 / 11."

Do I believe it happened?

Yep. I do.

Do I think it was some sort of {delete what is not applicable) Bush / CIA / Mossad / Zionist / Cheney / neo-con plot? I have never seen a scintilla of credible evidence to support that and I'm not going to bother reading any more of that recycled garbage.
