I’m not complaining or confused with protocol, Brah. You say something dumb publicly, you get publicly criticized or laughed at.
I just didn’t see how just stating that he didn’t want Obama to be president or that he supported Santorum was really fodder. Instead of just saying he’s an idiot for supporting Santorum, why don’t you look a little further for quotes like this . . . .
Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable. Also, just watching how he hasn’t gotten into doing these horrible, horrible attack ads like Mitt Romney’s done against Newt Gingrich, and then the volume at which Newt has gone back at Romney… You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I’m hoping that if it does come down to it, we’ll see a Republican in the White House… and that it’s Rick Santorum.
Supporting a candidate because he cares about his daughter and doesn’t have a nasty ad campaign? That seems to make as much sense to me as people who voted for Bush because he seemed like a Good 'ol Boy they could barbecue some burgers with and pound some Keystones. Or voting for Obama because he’s friends with Oprah . . .
And I don’t know the details. The quote above was probably taken out of a larger context to make for a cheesy soundbite. Or maybe it was the better part of a larger stupider diatribe. But I honestly don’t care enough to look for any sort of defense as it makes no difference to me.
If someone says something douchey, yeah, call 'em out. I just don’t care about their political preferences any more than I care what flavor ice cream they like.
