Sick child or no, he'd make a shit president.

Again with this, really? It doesn't take a democrat to realize Santorum was a corrupt idiot.

Notable examples

No one is refuting that. I wouldn't vote for him, it doesn't change the fact that you're all ready to dance on the grave of what looks like a 3 year old because of her fathers political views.

If you can't see how thats ****ed in the head, I don't know what I can do for you.

I think you're exaggerating a bit. If his child weren't sick, I would be glad he dropped out the race. If his child were sick and he continued running, I would want him to drop out of the race. If he had no children, I would still want him to drop out of the race. I obviously would never wish ill on a child, but being glad that a candidate I don't want to be in the race is now no longer in the race hardly means I'm dancing on the grave of a three year old, ffs.

Edit:
I absolutely see where you're coming from, but Christ, man.

I didn't make the thread because of that. I made the thread because it's current news, and that is what this part of the forum is for.

I don't think anybody is celebrating that the man has a sick child. I didn't really even know that was the reason until your post, I just thought he bowed out because he had practically no chance of beating Romney.

That's most likely why he dropped out. Santorum probably just came to his senses and thought "if you can't beat em, join em" or something along those lines.

I also had no idea that his child is sick.

Wasn't my intention for this thread to get out of hand :/

I just thought it was something to post about because it has to do with the presidential campaign.

"Victory" in this situation only means the GOP nomination, not the presidency. Just sayin'.

from the OP

I'm fine with you guys attempting to paint me as Dick Cheney's old heart thats come back from the grave, but theres a line you can't cross if you're going to claim to moral highground. Celebrating a childs illness, which is what celebrating his "suspension" is here, is beyond the line.

Santorum held some backward, offensive, and wrong views of the homosexual community and to a lesser but relevant extent women. I don't agree with him but he had a right to lose the primary saying them. And I'm not telling anyone they shouldn't be put off by his statements, but you need to make the case for why he's wrong, not scream about his "evil" he is and celebrate a medical condition in one of his children.

I don't think Family is fair game - they didn't choose to run just like I'm sure Bella (his daughter) didn't choose to have her genetic condition. You can rail against a mans beliefs, but theres no reason to get personal. When you do you look petty, unintelligent, and rutterless. There are plenty of ways to attack Rick Santorum on principles alone.
