too fat to fail

Speaking in Le Mars, Iowa on Monday, Rick Santorum promised to significantly reduce federal funding for food stamps, arguing that the nation’s increasing obesity rates render the program unnecessary:(msnbc.com)

Rick Santorum, still running for the nomination of president from the Republican/Tea Party, proudly states he is a champion of the child. He believes that no matter the circumstance of the mother, if she is raped by a stranger, raped by her brother, uncle, father, if HER life is at risk while pregnant...no matter the silly reason for becoming pregnant or the consequences of carrying the baby full term... Mr. Santorum doing God’s work on Earth, demands the baby be born and to hell with the mother and having the baby thrive outside of the womb.

Mr. (God has asked me to speak for him, thus my religious shit does not stink) Santorum, who believes, no insists he knows what is better for a woman and her body, is all about bringing a fetus to full term. Yet with his newest harangue, Mr. Santorum cares very little on how you might sustain that life via feeding the baby or paying for the food he/she eats. So being nothing more than stupid, Mr. Santorum argues that if there is obesity then that must mean people are eating too well. And if people are eating too well then they certainly should be able to afford all that excess food, which of course must be purchased by Government money aka food stamps.

Living in some religious ivory tower, Mr. Santorum who just hates poor people, has made some warped connection that obesity equates to too much food. His small brain, overly filled with religious bigotry and bias, has no capacity or capability to reason that crappy cheap food, the kind that many poor people CAN afford, is full of calories and fat all of which contribute to obesity. Mr. Santorum doesn’t recognize the science behind nutrition (nutrition along with the dinosaurs were never mentioned in the Bible).

There are a slew of God’s creations, (the God Santorum swears told him to run for office, and fought with Washington during the Revolutionary War) Mr. Santorum has little stomach to tolerate. Mr. Santorum knows that his Jesus, hates the poor, the minority, the Gay, only likes the Jews because if you get all of them to Israel then God can stage his second coming, and that all Santorum is doing is stating the obvious and is a good Catholic in doing the dirty work.

So, if Rick Santorum is the president of the US one of his first acts will be to cut the Food Stamp program and make those fatties thin or maybe just have them die of malnutrition. (Even less Government money to waste on someone’s life).

Now, I know that Santorum’s poll numbers are low, but in the reality show called the Republican/Tea Party primary race, many a loser with low poll numbers has risen to the top. Apparently for the hard core idiot,imbecile identifying as the Republican/Tea Party core, being too dumb, too bigoted, too owned by lobbyists, too racist, too homophobic is a good thing and eventually you become popular.

Proudly in America no matter how inadequate, shallow, self serving or selfish you are you can run for president. Sadly for America in the 2011 primary race the Republican/Tea Party has showcased at least a dozen people who do nothing but tarnish the American spirit, and demonstrate the worst this country can offer.

Obesity is a growing problem, and like many growing problems which require discussion, communication, resolve, Mr. Santorum would rather place blame, state innuendo and find fiction as to why the problem exists. He would rather seek a scapegoat, vilify the victim or shout Biblical quotes to justify his own hatred.

And this man is still getting enough attention and for some is still considered someone to be president. What has happened to this country of ours?
