While the Neocon, Corporacon and Plutocon wings of the Republican Party appear to be coalescing around vulture capitalist, Mitt Romney, the Republican Theocon and InsaniTEA wings are appalled at the possibility that someone they consider a heretic might get the Republican nomination.\u00a0 They correctly recognized that splitting their support between three followers of Republican Supply-side Jesus (not the real one) was helping Romney, so they met this weekend to choose their unified anti-Romney savior.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"15Hate\"Former senator Rick Santorum has emerged as the choice of more than 150 evangelical leaders who huddled at a Texas ranch Friday night<\/a> to debate their preferred candidate in the GOP presidential race.<\/p>\n

The move represents an eleventh-hour effort by social conservatives one week out from the crucial South Carolina primary to unify around a single candidate and blunt the momentum of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, whom many evangelicals consider insufficiently conservative.<\/p>\n

Rick Perry to drop out of the White House race, according to one participant \u2014 meaning that social conservatives could well split their support this year, just as they did during the 2008 GOP presidential primary.<\/p>\n

They picked the worst hatemonger in the bunch.\u00a0 Rick \u201cGoogle Me\u201d Santorum hates gays<\/a>, black people<\/a>, and women<\/a>.\u00a0 He may also hate dogs, being so fixated on man on dog<\/a> sex. \ud83d\ude09

Frankly, I think Republican Supply-side Jesus (not the real one) may well have misled these folks, because they have obviously slipped in the Santorum.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
