Rick Santorum is a sleazy little US politician, for those keeping score...
Regarding Obama's Health care bill:
Why?” Santorum asked. “Why would you do anything like that?”
The answer, Santorum said Williams told him, is that Democratic leaders knew that Americans love entitlements, and that by turning health care into an entitlement the die would be cast. “Once we get them hooked on this entitlement, they will never let it go,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believed, according to Williams.
That’s what outraged Santorum and helped pull him back into the political arena, he said.
“Think about how they view you,” he told the crowd of Republicans. “They view you no different than the drug dealer views the little kid in the school yard. They want to get you hooked, they want to get you dependent. They want to get you relying upon them for your wellbeing. And once they’ve satisfied you, giving them that drug, that narcotic, then you’ll be reliant on them and, by the way, you’ll also be less than what God created you to be.”
Yup, this is the kind of anti intellectual dribble that passes for political discourse in the US today.
