Former Senator and current GOP Presidential flavor-of-the-month Rick Santorum made a quick tour of Ohio over the weekend. The candidate, now polling higher than Mitt Romney among Buckeye Republicans, has called the state “ground zero” in his bid to out-maneuver the former Massachusetts governor for the nod. But even though the hit-it-and-quit-it circuit put the candidate before a lot of potential voters, it looks like Santorum made more ground in the gaffe department than in the hearts and minds of Ohioans.
For those of you keeping score at home, the tour provided Santorum the open-mic opportunity to, among other things, insult the President’s faith, deny science, and call into question public education — all in a weekend’s work.
Santorum’s taking the most heat for his earlier comments about President Obama’s religious faith, which the Sweater Vest Savior said was based on “some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible.” At a Steubenville stop, Santorum offered an explanation, an explanation so lame it might in fact take home the Blue Ribbon in the Worst Political Backtrack — Primary Season category.

Perhaps the rest of the country doesnt mind being made the fool by this whack job, IDK! Personally, I dont go for this foolish rhetoric and assinine crap this idiot constantly spews!
I DONT LIKE HIS BRAND OF CHRISTIANITY!
I DONT LIKE HIS RACIST COMMENTS!
I DONT LIKE HIS SEXIST COMMENTS!
HES NOT AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GOP!
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM!
I love it when one candidate pulls ahead of the others because they get more air time and we get to see more of the ‘real’ them. It’s scary, but it’s worth it to see exactly what you’re dealing with. When Herman Cain dusted everyone early in the race last year, I knew I smelled a crash and burn coming!
Santorum is just opposed to Obama’s obvious secular humanism theology. Why keep hoisting the warmist hysteria flag like it was at all factually correct? Didn’t Climategate I and II disprove that?
