GOP Santorum Says "Smart People Will Never Be On Our Side"

[NJMaverick]

Quote:WASHINGTON, DC — Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum attacked the media and "smart people" for not being on the side of conservatives in a speech to the Values Voter Summit on Saturday.
"We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."

Were truer words ever spoken?

True, but if the polls are accurate, there are plenty of stupid people that WILL vote for them.

Yes that's why the keep people stupid with their non-stop misinformation campaign run through FAUX news and they have there war on education. Not that education helps everyone as there are plenty of highly degreed stupid people but the GOP fears the ones that are helped by a good education people like the Obamas

Education doesn't equal smart, in my opinion. I happen to agree with Rick on this issue. Smart people will never be part of the perverse mixture of far right religious zealots and crazy eyed far right conservatives.

That actually wasn't my point, Mav, although I understand how it could be taken that way. The irony to me is that a guy with two degrees from "elite, smart" universities can stand up there and sell this stuff as though he's some backwater rube scratching out a living cleaning out chicken coops.

I had to laugh. Santorum is right for once in his fringy life....smart people won't be on their side. You have to be a dope who believes in conspiracies and they're all out to getcha before you can vote repub.
