If you’ve had the displeasure of searching Rick Santorum‘s name on Google, you know about his so-called “Google problem.” It’s a sticky situation that has dogged Santorum since 2003.
It started when he answered a question about gay marriage in an interview with the Associated Press. Sex columnist Dan Savage, who is gay, took offense and started a contest to redefine “Santorum.” The winning definition was gross and it remains the top Google search result for the candidate’s last name.
In an interview with the Huffington Post his eldest child, 20-year-old Elizabeth, commented on the issue.
“That just makes me sad. It’s disappointing that people can be that mean,” she said. “That’s really the first thing that comes to mind, it’s hurtful. But it’s okay, we just try and focus.”

Posted on January 9, 2012 at 6:24pmI’ve been substituting the names of prominent lefties for curse words for years now… For example, “Go Pelosi yourself”, or “Eat Schumer & die”, or “what in the name of Harry Barry & Nancy is going on in here?”
Try coming up with your own, there are limitless possibilities…

Posted on January 6, 2012 at 8:32amSo, no one here believes that all the hateful things santorum says against the homosexual community are wrong? Mean? Heartless?
So easy for the victims to call other people out but, it’s oh do wrong when there are fingers pointed at them.

Posted on January 5, 2012 at 2:58pmSounds like the typical comment from a spineless, truthless, feel good, liberal POS……. Can anyone say “target”? Rick Santorum is not perfect, but there is none better in the race and he is a man’s man who will stand up for us. Heck, he will even stand up for a “……..liberal POS”.

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 10:29pmSantorum is up front and intelligent. He is the best of the bunch. If old Trump runs it will hurt Sentorum votes. Trump is Mr. Hollywood with some right leanings, but his heart is in Hollywood.
