I hate Santorum, but I think he's in the right here. As a politician, he should probably be able to brush this stuff off better - but that kind of stupid question would frustrate me as well.
The media should be embarrassed by how they've covered this campaign.
That said, Santorum (and the rest of the GOP field) have encouraged this mindset, and have been all-too-happy to jump on speaking mistakes (or tidbits that sound bad out of context) themselves rather than focus on any kind of substantive policy differences.


But then they act passively and brush this off, the reporters get worse and worse... I think he should be able to voice his opinion with either humor or this type of reaction.

The scumbag religious nutbar does have a point.

In related news, today Santorum says he would happily be Romney's VP. How does Vice President Frothy sound?

I hate Santorum, but I really despise that clueless re-distributor and debt-monger Obama.

God send us someone who knows what the hell they're doing.

The reporter sounds awkward, and his question is kinda broad and dumb. Santorum is just giving attitude to the lame-stream media, like a lot of Republicans are these days. He could've calmly corrected the reporter, like Romney would've, or been snide and unpleasant like Gingrich. All three are creepy and off putting in their own way.

Maybe reporters are asking dumb obvious questions over and over to get a reaction like this for the cameras?

I do not support Santorum, however, I do support accurate citations by news and media.

& Wisconsin would not vote for someone like that...or someone like Mr. Santorum!

Most telling to me is his inability to reasonably react to a simple question. He seems embarrassed after he curses, by the way he continues to badger the reporter. Just another amateur running for office. At least we won't have to worry about anti-curse laws on his agenda!

& for those who enjoy a little context, here is the quotation from Santorum's speech that the New York Times reporter and others "spun":

SANTORUM: Fifty-dollar abortions subsidized by RomneyCare. And if you’re low income, they’re free.
Why would we put someone up who is uniquely -- pick any other Republican in the country. He is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama. Why would Wisconsin want to vote for someone like that?

Here is the chart so far. It's hard to read because of all the names unfortunately, but you can manually take people off the chart if you like. I added a few inactive sifters from the last time this was posted - if you are one of these people and want to retake, let me know and I'll change it. I also added all of the American presidential candidates and Obama. I'll wait for a few more days for others to join, then I'll post.
