Santorum Said To Quit Presidential Race
According to various media reports, still officially unconfirmed, Rick Santorum will end his presidential campaign. Such as this one from CNN: "Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum will announce he will suspend his campaign on Tuesday at an event in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a senior adviser to the campaign tells CNN." The live webcast to the Santorum address can be watched below after the jump.

He stayed at the party way too long
Now if only Romney and Obummer would do the same!
He should have quite while he was ahead.......after Iowa.
with the derby near.......he was no more than a rabbit in the race......he cleared the field for mittens....except for the "silver charm" ron paul is still running....
The way must be made straight for Mitt "White Obama" Romney... setting up an exciting showdown between a black muslim marxist equal-opportunity hire, and a white mormon corporatist carpetbagger.
Whenever I hear the word "santorum", it makes me think that it's a medical name for a body part. "Now we will make an incision and remove the santorum....."
Can't imagine this guy in the white house.
Santorum (n): The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter which is sometimes a byproduct of anal sex. Google it.
I never would have voted for him but I am sorry to see him drop out. He was our last, best chance for a brokered convention and general chaos.
one fucking religous freak down. the rnc is completely sold.
Yup. Going to be a goddamn Romney coronation, just like the RNC always wanted. The religious freaks who would vote for Santorum tend to have been brainwashed by Zionists, 9/11, and neocon fearmongering. Most of them will choose Romney over Paul. There's a slight chance RP might have won a brokered convention but we won't see that now, and he will have to run as an independent.
Is there any chance that Eagle Eye will be up and running before the election?
please................even a rock is better than Obummer....
Hell i would even campaign for the rock, anything but that kenyan
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME FUCKING THING!
RP is not the same as Obama....and a rock would at least be an american rock.....I never said that romney or newt were something different...just slightly better....and why don't you like rocks?
Thats better.
I certainly didn't mean to demean all the rocks out there. Clearly they would be far better than our congresscritters and NWO presidents.
Rocks: please accept my sincere apologies.
RP is a pro-nuke, pro-life idiot.
as joe e. brown ends "some like it hot": nobody's perfect.
Yeah right man! Rick Santorum's BLR is way better than anyone elses:

Thank Dan Savage for that one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Savage
What a shock...he's gay. He obviously knows about frothy anal mixtures from experience.
That is clever, lmao
You give new dimension to the phrase, 'Santorum Pulls Out'
"... which allows us to extract the gerbil intact."
Carpetbagger, that's a good description.
Santorum piased me off years ago when he floated a bill to privatize the Weather Service, and keep free Doppler radar and weather forcasts off the internet. His major stake in Accuweather might have warped his thinking. hypocrite.
Nothing hypocritical about politicans feathering their own nests, as it's the reason that most of them are there.
Let's face it, Sanitarium and The Green Grinch were in the race specifically to mask the media blackout of Paul. How awkward would the debates have been had only two candidates remained...one being paul?
Correction, he has "suspended" his active campaign, he has not yet withdrawn from the race... a nifty maneuver by the Republican Establishment to ensure that his delegates stay tied up to Santorum and don't jump ship to Paul. This will ensure that Romney receives the 1144 necessary delegates to receive the party's nomination.
Can't risk losing PA.
I will be voting for Ron Paul in PA on 4/24/12
Me too.
me three.. if i bother to come back from costa rica
why bother. Stay here
BROKEN CONVENTION HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron Paul is speaking at a luncheon in Addison, TX tomorrow. I got my ticket. This should make for an interesting talk.
I was sorely tempted to drive down to Dallas and check it out but the timing isn't good. So the money I would have spent on fuel I can contribute on the 15th.
Now we need Mitt to kick Newt down the stairs and for Ron to catch it all on video...Booyah! world saved!
The tin foil crowd say Romney was promised the White House last time. Looks like they are right. Again.
Could've been worse,...They could have promised Googliani instead.
Worse still, they could´ve promised Santorum...
His role in the grand play is done.
Go home Rick your ,job well done.
Sincerly
TPTB
We can only hope that Romney will follow his lead in short order.
I've got 5 on Santorum joinig up with romney as vp to rally together mormons and evangelicals
That is some scary shit right there my friends. And I live in Redstateistan.
With Obromney as the presumptive nominee now, Michelle is picking out new vegan dishes for us serfs and velvet black light art for the Lincoln Bedroom.
Blow me scrotum, I mean Santorum, GO Ron Paul !
BTW, FUCK YOU Bernanke.
Good bye and good riddance, Frothy the Snowjob Man.
Send some more money to RP and maybe it will get him elected.
keep running Ron
Even if he doesn't I'm writing his name in.
MASSIVE WRITE IN CAMPAIGN FOR RP!!
And what will that achieve?! RP NEEDS to run 3rd party, and yes I know he will just give Obummer a 3rd .. errr sorry 2nd term but he will cause enough disturbance that the sheeple will no longer be able to sleep well at night, knowing what a sham democracy they have
.. you need to win a few battles before you can win a war
I disagree that Paul will give Obama another term as I dont think anyone supporting Paul would have ever voted for Romney in the first place. There is no philosophical/political common ground there, Mitt is as ideologically alien to a Paul supporter as Obama.
which is why he should of ran in '08 would of stole a lot of votes from the obama crowd - if he did run then he might of gotten shot... who knows what whispers in his ear have already been said/threatened
In some jurisdictions, gotta be on the ballot to have your vote tabulated.
(Way corrupt.)
WHY CNBC CONTINUE PAYING GARTMAN 200USD FOR HIS WRONG PREDICTIONS OVER AND OVER GAIN? IT IS A MISTERY TO ME
CNBC still being there at all is a mystery too. Other than being a media branch of the Wall St/White House with direct funding, CNBC should have been off the air years ago.
they even play the charades like letting trump come on and criticize o'fascistpig so they look legit
"CNBC....The Solyndra of Broadcasting"
CNBC...The Silicone Boob Circus
But, but, they say it's time to buy the dip, Europe is saved, we're only down 4% on gains of 30% since October, and play every Obama stump-speech in the land!
We need CNBC to keep everyone informed of this grand economic recovery!
Everyone, that is, that can still afford cable or satellite TV....
Because all these media giants have a stake in what the news is.
I'm gonna go watch some porn in honor of this moment.
Paging Newt!!! Paging Newt!!!
Rick beat ya to it!
Obama
=
a 'lock' to win
So here we have it... as some people predicted - BLOTS incl.
Romney (Mormon) vs. Obama (?)
Interesting that back in the day - the Mormon Church had *issues* with black people working within the ministry...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_and_The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints
However - dont be fooled... they look like they are on the opposite ends of the spectrum...
when in fact - they are BOTH on the same team.
Actually
Romney (Illuminati) vs Obama (Illuminati)
Would be more accurate.
I know what Romney stands for. Call me delusional, but I'm still secretly hoping that Obama turns out to be that closet-communist who is going to at least change something. I'm bored of the same old, same old. Can we at least have a few years, decades maybe of something that is so blatantly fascist that people will finally get off their couch?
Unless Ron gets a shot at it, I'm voting Obama. Give me death over life in perpetual hell.
Ron has a shot, get off you ass and aplly as a delegat and vote for him at the convention, or at the very least write him in. This shouldn't be some kind of ultimatum for your morals, imho.
RP does NOT have a shot at it. As much as i wish he did, he does not. And most importantly the reason he does not is becuase the vast majority of this country no longer believes in the Constitution or a Constitutional Republic. They do not know what liberty looks like and if they did it would scare them to death. So in short, the sad ass fuck nuts that are either in office or are running for office are EXACTLY what the American people want...
If RP or anyone holding the office of the president actually had the power to really change the state of things this country would be WAY worse off than it is.
Careful what you wish for, for you just might get it.
Get out of debt and let it collapse. Then we can think about new leaders.
pods
Question is do we let the bubbles collapse on our terms now, or kick the can down the road until we have the Chinese imposing 'austerity' on us ala Greece?
What's that..we'll go to war you say? Well good luck trying to find mercenaries to fight. Our war when all you can offer them is green debased currency.
Then answer me why 10000 people showed up at UCLA, nontheless, UCLA??? to hear my man Paul speak? Yeah, thats right, no answer. Look at the sacred undewear wearing fake Ken doll draw a couple fold up chairs of elite wannabees at ford field in detroit a while back...yeah, exactly what america wants. Go find someone elses cheese to cry on, you have been suckered into the same media paradigm as all those who you say "want" this neo-tyranny. C'mon man, get up, stand up, don't give up the fight, stand up for your rights...BobMarley, the original Man of Peace, imho....
Well, that is certainly one approach and not without some merit.
Yes SMG.
BTW - a connection between Mitt Romney and the founding Father of the Mormon Church.
Joseph Smith Jr (FOUNDING FATHER of the MORMON Church)
YES! the guy who had visions, in one of which an angel directed him to a buried book of golden plates,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith
Parly Pratt once described how Joseph received revelations. "Each sentence was uttered slowly and very distinctly, and with a pause between each, sufficiently long for it to be recorded, by an ordinary writer, in long hand. This was the manner in which all his revelations were dictated and written. There was never any hesitation, reviewing, or reading back, in order to keep the run of the subject; neither did any of these communications undergo revisions, interlinings, or corrections. As he dictated them so they stood, so far as I have witnessed."
Who is Parly Pratt?
Mitt Romney's great great Grandadddy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parley_P._Pratt
He not only wrote the first published defense of Mormon polygamy, he himself married twelve wives and begat thirty children.
Pratt then returned to Fayette, New York in October 1830, where he met Joseph Smith and was asked to join a missionary group assigned to preach to the Native American (Lamanite) tribes on the Missouri frontier. During the trip west, he and his companions stopped to visit Sidney Rigdon, and were instrumental in converting Rigdon and approximately 130 members of his congregation within two to three weeks
The pic on wikipedia even resembles Mitt Romney.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parley_P._Pratt
One of Pratt's great-great-grandsons is Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor and candidate for the 2008 and 2012 Republican presidential nomination.[33] One of his great-great-great-grandsons is Jon Huntsman, former Utah governor and Ambassador to China, and a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination
At this level - Leaders are born, NOT elected
So, in a nutshell, we're on par with Ahmandinejad and the 12th Imam crowd.
As he dictated them so they stood, so far as I have witnessed."
Dum-dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum-dum, dum-dee-dum-dum-dum
Most of what I know about Mormons came from South Park Season 7 Episode 12 "All About Mormons". It was very educational.
You can't watch this link in the UK

A mormon, did he get multiple bitches?
"they look like they are on the opposite ends of the spectrum..."
~~~
they look like they are on the opposite ends of the 'speculum'
(there, fixed it)
ain't gonna happen...got absolutely nothing to run on, and I mean nothing..not economy, not health care, not his running mate, not massive debt growth, not his arrogance and phoniness, not his exposed lack of intellect and leadership talent, not his uncharismatic and unappealing wife, not his weak foreign relations and the bowing...he failed to bring change and the hope is long gone...the 'war on women' gambit exposes the depth of the desperation...and then when the race riots he helped instigate get rolling this year, thoroughly televised in blood-splattering HD like never before, he'll have nothing but the black vote and hard lefties on the coasts, and that won't be enough...it'll be Romney/Rubio or Romney/Haley
Speaking of race riots...

Wonder if Florida gets first dibs over Cali this go round...?
I couldn't pick up the voice on that phone call, was it obama?
Damn that lady has some serious anger issues. And if blacks start a race war they sure as shit wont finish it.
I doubt the rednecks of Alabama are scared of 10-12% of the population.
You and Shirley Maclaine.
EEK! Now we can start euthanizing 10% of our elderly population just like the Netherlands!
So long fucktard
Still rambling about those 'death panels' Mrs Palin?
If you're being sarcastic then I apolgize in advance. If not, suck a fart out of my ass for flippantly mocking the power being given to the inept government to run our health care. Maybe you want a bunch of unelected statists making decisions for you ... I would prefer choice and freedom.
Again, sorry if I misunderstood your comment. Again, if I understood it correctly, suck a dick.
Oh boy. What? You sell insurance?
You obviously have very little experience in obtaining and/or recieving healthcare. Inept govenrment running it, or insurance companies denying coverage, changing policies, raising rates and generally screwing over policyholders? I'll take inept government, a la Medicare. It's a smooth-running system that delivers healthcare at about 1/3 the cost of our current fucked up private system. The VA is another, even better, example of delivering quality at value prices.
If we had any brains in this country, or if all the leadership were not in the pockets of the drug/medical/insurance industries, medical school would be free to all who qualify. We subsidize the hell out of it anyway, but at least then there would be plenty of doctors.
Junk away, but as someone who has been buying his own medical policies, and those of his employees, for over 30 years, I know more about it than most of you.
I hate insurance company service but I'll take that over gubmint-goon service forever.
Historical fact: governments fuck EVERYTHING up.
Insurance companies only fuck most things up.
Case closed.
PS: health care is NOT an insurance risk, so neither guy mint nor insurance companies should be involved in the first place.
I'm not talking about "everything". I'm talking about healthcare, and medicare and the VA system consistently deliver for far less money than private insurance companies.
Let me guess....you are about 27 years old, and know almost "everything".
Tell us about your real-world experiences with healthcare.
@ yes we can.....Good for you....and with a little luck, maybe you can keep your private healthcare.
Watch your job get shipped off shore and your benfit package as it circles the toilet bowl, then come back and talk to us about the glories of our private, for-profit healthcare system when you are standing on the outside looking in......which works great, by the way, for healthy people under about 45.

Why don't you stop rambling and listen for a change. Obama adviser Robert Reich says "We're going to let you die," and the Berkley audience applauds:

Still rambling about those 'death panels' Mrs Palin?
Well, up here in the Great White North, there was a story last week, buried on page 8 of course, of a woman in Ontario who's dying of cancer. There is an expensive drug that apparently slows the disease, but the Ontario medicare bureaucracy hasn't got around to approving it. The drug is approved in British Columbia, but because the woman is from Ontario, she would have to pay the cost of the drug (and travel) if she went to BC to obtain it. Her private insurance company won't cover the cost of the drug, even though she has been a paying customer for years, because she lives in Ontario, and the drug's not approved in Ontario.
Now, you can appeal for an exemption on compassionate grounds, which the woman did. In the unsigned and unattributed form letter she received from the Ontario Ministry of Health, it said, in part, "the cost/benefit of the medication is not apparent at this time".
Now, you can spin this any way you want, my friend, but this is exactly what Palin and others were warning of - faceless, unnamed, and unaccountable bureaucrats deciding who lives and who dies. Maybe they're not standing next to the bed pulling the plug, but the effect here is exactly the same - this woman has a chance to extend her life, and it's being denied on a financial basis.
We've had socialized medicine for about 50 years; the death panels take a while to arrive, but they get there eventually.
Ya mean we can't have a potus whose name literally means anal sex goo? Oh damn.
anal sex goo, was named after him.....
Reflects well on the perverted special interest group that coined the term doesn't it?
Why don't they just fight for the right to marry, than highlight the sickness of their acts?
Kill teh gays! Kill teh blacks! Kill teh joos! Kill teh muslims! Kill teh krugmans!
Don't like teh gay marriage? Don't marry teh gay.
Private: Say Sarge, you believe there is a God?
Sarge: There has to be.

Thank you baby 8 pound 6 oz Jesus for our ensuring our pornographic material remains unblemished and for removal of the devolved, certified retarded spawn of a thousand dead hookers from our television sets and news articles.
Thank you baby Jesus, thank you...
You need help.
Pretty sure Rick needs more help than I do.
Hey, I don't deny for a nano-second that Rick needs help.
But the fact that one person needs lots of help, does not negate the fact that others may also.
You want to dishonour Jesus? I'll stand for Him ... regardless of the number of down arrows it means.
It doesn't bother you that Rick believes in "Him" too and uses that as his justification for his crazy-ass antics?
Btw sorry if the Jesus comment offended you. I was just quoting Ricky Bobby. Feel free to fill in Jesus with Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever floats your boat and doesn't offend.
Cheers and this is a glorious day.
I'm not crazy about Rick Santorum, but at least he stands up for his Christian faith, as he understands it.
What is grotesque is the people who hate him for what he believes. What gay people do makes me sick, but I still treat them respectfully as individuals. Shame it doesn't seem to work the other way.
Can I get a takbir?
BULLISH.
so, do you want Obama federal preemption or Romney state preemption, to go with your sugar and salt?
Worth a laugh if you haven't seen this yet http://blog.spreadingsantorum.com/
Now Saintorum can let himself down off the Cross.
Bet hes done a deal with Romney,he will be on his knees now licking his balls for a job.
why should anyone care what these fake leaders say or do. they have no power, their positions are for show only. the facade has worn thin.
Now he can take off his bullet proof cardigan and impale himself on his wit.
He made a lot of money scaring Mr. and Mrs. Religion while pretending to run for dogcatcher.
.....too bad Iowan's wasted their votes on this LOOOOOOOSSSSSSEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!
Go Ron Paul!!!!!!!
Hoser from Iowa
Who what who? Step aside Richard, you're wasting $5 gas.
Its all just a cheap puppet show anyway.
Who cares. It's the central banks who have the power you morons
What an exciting presidential election process...
It looking like we'll get to choose either:
A guy from Harvard funded by Goldman Sachs
vs.
A guy from Harvard funded by Goldman Sachs
Kind of like that Skull & Bones vs Skull & Bones "contest" the USSA had a while back. hmmm..something fishy going on here.
What a piece of trash. Getting out of the race and blaming it on his daughter's illness. Rick Santorum is less than a man.
He's jus stickin' to da scrip.
simply good
See ya frothy.
Santorum was the only way I would have considered voting for Obamah. At least the porn is safe and that is what really matters at the end of the day. Continue on with the charade, America.
If you live in America, you need a concealed carry liscense now, regardless of wether or not you own a firearm.
Smitty says so.
Fuck that! Why anyone would set themselves up to be the first to be disarmed once the SHTF is beyond me.
"Nope, sorry captain, no guns here."
That's the problem, the "law abiding" gun-permit holding citizens will be the first to be visted, if only because they are "on the list" held by TPTB.
It's the non-law-abiding gun carrying citizens that will have a head start.
Actually, why does anyone other than a convicted felon or insane person need a gun permit in the first place? How many child permits do they hand out? And why not, there are more unresponsible parents than gun owners.
Depends on where you live I guess. In my neck of the woods law enforcement encourages carry permits, and not to visit anyones home. They arent suicidal.
Even convicted felons have the right to defend themselves.
pods
Take a shot for every reference to God or religion in his concession speak
I can´t, it´ll kill me...
"who wrote a song called gay mon"
In a normal day of a broken market, the combined headlines of Santorum quiting race and FCB IPO in a week or two would at least result in an additional 1% increase.
Broken broken market.

A brief history of the zany (and frightening) stuff Santorum says here:
http://www.wcvarones.com/2012/02/lest-we-forget-brief-history-of-rick.html
You got a junk for showing him spouting his own words?
Rick, is that you? Are you trolling ZH now?
Thanks for the link. He is one sick little Ayatolla wannabe. Little wonder that he couldn't even get re-elected in his own state in his last Senate race.....and was about to lose PA to Romney, too.
Wheel out the Romneybot 3000: Advanced Prototypical Republican Candidate Unit.
Good timing. Saturday, I told my district Ron Paul coordinator that "I'm throwing in the towel and preparing for the worst politically and economically. Could you please put me in touch with others who share the same view". I still think Ron Paul will emerge from Tampa with the most political capital even if Romney is the nominee. I wish Romney the best, I hope he wins, but he will be unable to prevent the disaster that is already in motion. All the cures he knows how to offer are as deadly as the disease at this point.
No matter who wins it, I'm guessing they'll wish they didn't. It's all going to start early in 2013, or maybe right after the election.
There will be attempts to gloss over the fiscal situation through the election, holding the whole thing together with duct tape and baling wire, and once D.C. crosses that hurdle of the election, it will immediately go to shit.
Agreed. That's why in a twisted way it wouldn't be bad to have BHO behind the wheel when the US goes under.
Won't matter. All it will do is to further fuel the good ole divide-and-conquer polarized political war. Meanwhile, you empower this system by picking a side and engaging in the "lesser of two evils" strategy, or in this case the modified version of "I hope it blows up on the eviler person's watch."
Why? Because no matter which way it unfolds, "they" win.
IMO, the only good outcome for this election would be headlined as "Lowest Voter Turnout, EVER!"
Then we'd see the true undermining of political power, as the sheeple would reacquaint themselves with the idea of "consent of the governed." As long as it is seen as legitimate though, the fraud will continue, unabated.
After the election, Obama will throw the activist left under the bus in the worst possible way. Think billy clubs and FEMA camps. It is better for Obama to do this than Romney- makes it harder to maintain the two-party delusion. He will try to crush the right using laws passed by Bush and by various Tea Party candidates. This will help the right to realize that fascism kills far more people than terrorism (regardless of terrorism being mostly staged by fascists). Also, Obama brings greater chances of secession or a military coup- which could ultimately lead to Ron Paul.
I will write in Ron Paul but hope Obama beats Romney. America needs a clusterfuck it will never forget. Let's make it as hard as possible for the puppetmasters to rewrite history in terms of their bullshit two-party dialectic.
Woo Hoo! Best news ever! Now we just need to get rid of Moon Unit and the Flip Flopper!
Rick Who?
slow and steady Ron Paul passes another broken down horse......Ron Paul 2012 .........
What portion of the Santorum vote goes to RP?
LOL, that's funny!
Romney didn't even bother with some states, knowing he'd be given every delegate NOT belonging to Dr. Paul.
I'm assuming that now the smear campaign will shift gears, labeling Dr. Paul supporters as traitors who will make sure that Obummer will get reselected.
As if it mattered AT ALL.
Who REALLY thought that Santorum or Paul could have been nominated? Worst case scenario there would have been a brokered convention or some other BS. Note: the military/financial/industrial complex will not let the beautifully fake and bogus 2 party system be spoiled by anybody, even if independently wealthy.
