Karen Santorum: Rick's Campaign Is 'God's Will'
The wife of Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says that God is responsible for her husband's recent surge in popularity.
"I personally think this is God's will," Karen Santorum told GBTV's Glenn Beck on Thursday. "I think He has us on a path. And I do think there's a lot more happening that what we are seeing."
"How close do you think we are to losing the republic?" Beck wondered.
"Oh, it's such a concern," Karen Santorum warned. "I just really believe so strongly. This is why we are making the sacrifice we are as a family to give all. Because I do believe if President Obama is elected again, I do believe we are going to lose our nation as we know it."
"Before we made the decision [to run], it was about a year, a year and a half, and initially when Rick mentioned it, I was just, 'No way.'"
"I said we need to pray about it," Rick Santorum recalled. "She said, 'No, I'm not going to pray about it. God couldn't possibly want you to do this.'"
But eventually Karen Santorum did seek God's guidance on the matter.
"I really started to pray about it, and I did always feel in my heart that God had big plans for Rick," she explained. "Eventually it was there, that tugging at my heart."
"It's awful, isn't it?" Beck asked.
"It is hard because you know it's a hard path," Karen Santorum agreed. "What did it for me, though, was Obamacare. Because we have, as you know, a little precious -- a little angel, little Bella -- special needs little girl. And when Obamacare passed, that was it. That put the fire in my belly."
"How much danger are the most vulnerable in our society in if Obamacare actually kicks in and the whole bell curve?" Beck pressed.
"It's all about utilization," Rick Santorum replied, referring to the false claim that the Affordable Care Act would create "death panels."
"It's all about how do we best allocate resources?" the candidate added. "It's not the death panel itself. I think Sarah [Palin] was talking about the broader idea of what socialized medicine is. And that is government allocating resources based on how to get the best bang for your dollar. It's all about utility. It's all about usefulness of the person to society instead of the dignity of the human life."
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and businessman Herman Cain have all claimed that God urged them to seek the Republican nomination for president.

How can anyone believe in a "god" that would support Santorum? Also, what self-respecting "god" would ever want to be worshipped by this clown and the other reactionaries that claim the mantel of annointment? FREE BRADLEY MANNING!!!!!
Sorry Ms Santorum, but there will be no gods voting next November. Your god may have called Ricky in but the voters will call him out.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
why did little Bella's birth make Karen Santorum turn against Obamacare? The Santorums have all the money they need to care for little Bella, and probably, as well, the insurance. But Obamacare provides for all the little Bellas, no matter the financial status of their parents, by forbidding insurance companies to use the "pre-existing condition" excuse for refusing health insurance to these babies. What evil hypocrisy, what a travesty of "compassionate conservatism."

Some of the Republican candidates for U. S. President—Bachman, Perry, Cain, and Santorum come to mind—would have it that they prayed, and that God told them He wanted them to run for president. Each seems to have taken that to mean that God wanted h/h to be king president. But clearly they can’t all be right. Did they consider that perhaps He wanted them to run in order to add some levity to the race? Or because He wanted to see millions of dollars wasted? Or because He wanted to keep people guessing as to who His real candidate was? Or were some of them mistaken? Or were some praying to the wrong god? Or perhaps God, disturbed about the devastation wrought by the financial class, and despairing of the Democrats ever taking on that issue, manipulated this whole Republican campaign in order to get them to expose the whole rotten system of have and have nots, of capitalism run amock.

So really God wants Obama to be president. I guess.
..Karen Santorum sports a husband that, on an hourly basis, commits the sins of lying, standing in judgment of fellow men, libel, slander, vainglory, graft, hate speech, connivance, misogyny, etc.
Yet all this is "God's will."
Word to Karen Santorum: If you wish to serve God's will, tell your husband to STFU, retire to his prayer closet & confess his sins in private, denounce all the evils of politics, then go get a real job.
Otherwise, please cut this shit out about "God's will."

She would have to be a little mentally unstable to be married to that man for this long. He's one of those guys that if he had every dollar in the world would still be repulsive to just about every woman. You just know he likes to do some kinky stuff, you just know it.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
According to what I have read, Bella is quite disabled. In that case, she has been on Medicare since she was born. Anything not covered will be picked up by Santorum's personal insurance as secondary - unless he was smart and has arranged for part of her care to be covered by Medicaid, which is possible.
So precious little Bella is being paid for by your tax dollars every day. Because God wants you to....

of the guy who told the woman who couldn't afford medicine for her cancer-stricken child that she should just not buy that I-pad? Oh, I forgot, tort "reform" shouldn't apply to them either.
Shut your mouth and your legs.

I've seen a few pictures of the Santorum brood, and that's the daughter who always has this sour, angry expression on her face; it's as though she's thinking about how much she'd love to unload a 12 gauge on her parents and siblings while they're sleeping. Truly an evil looking kid I must say. As for Mrs. Santorum, she looks like a classic Stepford wife. Memo to all GOP candidates:get some better looking beards, please.

I agree 100%. The confidence that Ricky's Senate colleagues reposed in him are absolute proof. He was, after all, given charge over the Senate candy desk for 10 of his 12 years in that august chamber.
I understand that he was known as "candy ass" for his preference for frothy sweets.
We have met the enemy and they are ... wait, uh, can't be me.
God has become one fickle fellow.
I never trusted fickle.
Sure sign of a religious con artist.
When events transpire that support your cause, clearly it is "God's will". When things don't go your way, it's because "God works in mysterious ways".
It's "God-swill". As in, a bucket of.
