Philly.com has an article up about crackpot Rick Santorum’s ranting about the impending doom America will face if a Democrat is elected in his place. Santorum is a second term senator from Pennsylvania, up for re-election in November 2006.

Santorum describes his stance as “Compassionate Conservatism”, which justifies:

• his condemnation of homosexuality as bestiality
• his belief that Boston’s liberalism was the cause behind the recent Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal
• his statement that people who did not leave New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina deserved to be punished by law
• his attempts to force schools to teach intelligent design as an alternative to the theory of evolution (”is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes,” Santorum writes - if he says it three times, it must be true)
• his attempts to prevent public access to weather data paid for by taxpayers in order to protect commercial companies like AccuWeather, a donor to Santorum’s campaigns…

Santorum also seems to be the only person in the US government who’s willing to claim that weapons of mass destruction have actually been found in Iraq.

One of his election campaign ads shows a missile launch and mushroom cloud, saying “we just can’t take a chance” on his Democractic opponent.

I have a suggestion: let’s perform an experiment and find out.

Message to Rick: stop foaming at the mouth for a minute and leave my access to taxpayer-paid weather data alone, damn it! Stop embarrassing your party! Go back on your meds!
