Rick Santorum Comes Galumphing Back

Santorum


He's BACK! And just in time to cause big trouble for Romney (and Ron Paul) at the Republican Convention in Tampa. But we knew this would happen. The Convention is going to be like Cirque du Soleil meets Barnum and Bailey meets 1776 rolled into one Big Tent of Crazy.

Santorum had a press conference in Illinois today in which he threw down the gauntlet about fighting it out with Ron Paul and his supporters over the Party Platform at the Convention.

From ABC News
"I want to make sure that the folks who represent the values that I did during this campaign are also are able to come to that convention and have their voices heard. I certainly have encouraged everyone to support Governor Romney as I have, but there are a lot of other issues at the convention other than just voting for the nominee."

Santorum added that he would spend the months before the August convention ensuring that his delegates are "armed and ready to engage the fight."

Paul, a candidate who advocates for a non-interventionist foreign policy and drug decriminalization, recently told supporters his delegate count puts him "in a tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future of the GOP."

It seems like only yesterday he was giving his farewell speech about Washington crossing the Delaware. But the "Early Patriot" theme lingers on because Rick has started a new group called "Patriot Voices" to raise money - *cough* SuperPac *cough* - and to keep his name out in the public. It's all about the Bible, Babies, and Big Money.






Martin Bashir called this new venture the "Save Santorum Fund."
"When Republicans like Santorum or Sarah Palin are touring the country in her bus, and preaching about the private sector and jobs, they're talking about themselves aren't they? Leave our privately funded Superpacs alone and let them create our new jobs."
