We cats are so excited.
After months of near-total neglect — despite the fact that with the possible exception of Ron Paul, he's the only member of the Republican 2012 clown college to practice traditional retail politics in Iowa — Rick "Don't Google My Name" Santorum is finally about to have his own Michele Bachmann/Herman Cain/Donald Trump/Newt Gingrich/anybody-but-Mitt moment of his own.
'Cuz "Bob Vander Plaats" thinks Rick Santorum should be President.
"Bob Vander" who? Well you may ask. Seems that "Bob" heads a right-wing Christian organization called The Family Leader — you know, the kind of group that wants to castrate gays and execute doctors who perform abortions and what-not? So he's apparently an important guy in Iowa evangelical circles.
But here's the rub: It's only "Bob" who's endorsing Santorum, not the organization itself. The Family Leader is staying neutral.
Well. Gosh. That's kind of a bummer. But Santorum's grassroots Iowa operation might be good enough for a respectable showing in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, it's pretty funny that as The Family Leader trumpets "Bob's" candidate of choice, they simultaneously aver, "Our goal...is to honor and glorify God — not a political party, not a candidate and not a program."
We think they need to do a little work on the ninth commandment.
