GOP Uber Clown Car gets another rider
As with all the previous riders, this one was anticipated, it was just a matter of which day it would happen. Rick Santorum, who is as Charlie Pierce so often says, a real dick, has announced he wants to make another futile effort to win the White House.
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a Christian conservative, will announce on Wednesday that he will make another run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 after a failed attempt in 2012, according to ABC News.For the record, Rick Santorum, who gave his name to that frothy mix of fecal matter & lubricant that oozes out after anal sex, is neither the first dick nor will he be the last dick to enter the GOP ring.
Santorum, a senator from 1995 to 2007, will make the announcement near his childhood home in Cabot, Pennsylvania, later in the day. ABC News said it had scheduled an interview with the candidate.
A representative for Santorum was not immediately available to comment on the report.
In the 2012 Republican race, Santorum won Iowa's kickoff contest and a string of later primaries with strong support from voters drawn to his social and religious conservatism and wary of the more business-oriented Mitt Romney.
Santorum outlasted other White House hopefuls to become the last remaining challenger to Romney, who ultimately captured the 2012 Republican nomination.
Santorum, whose support has languished in the low single digits in most polls ahead of the 2016 race, faces a stronger and potentially larger field of Republican hopefuls this time.
He is the seventh Republican to formally declare a bid for the nomination, joining a group that includes U.S. senators Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Other candidates expected to jump in the race in the coming months include former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
