Santorum to the Box
Wednesday, January 4, 2012 5:49 AM
Rupert Murdoch and those gullible, brain-dead Republicans have finally found their anti-Mitt Romney candidate for President. It is the former Senator from Pennsylvania, the baby-faced Rick Santorum. He may still be wet behind the ears, he may be delusional and goofy when it comes to foreign affairs, and cockeyed in the extreme on the topic of American "Exceptionalism", but at least he is not a hypocrite with respect to U.S. "foreign policy" in the Middle East.
Why not? Because Santorum is touting the same disgraceful, bipartisan, one-sided, pro-Likud, Washington establishment policy which has been in effect for decades. This means it is the same policy as that of Mitt Romney and the Israel Lobby and, for that matter, essentially the same as Hillary Clinton and Peace Prize Obama. The only real difference: President Santorum evidently would not be calling it "the Middle East peace process". That sorry masquerade at least would be over.
You see, Ricky believes in war and the right of conquest, big time, at least when it comes to the Zionist conquest of Palestine. The item below is a window on his mind, and it is sheer idiocy. Be sure and listen to the video. Oh, and by the way, Ricky wants to bomb Iran yesterday. The man is a moron.

Santorum: 'There Is No Palestine'
[New York Jewish Week, January 2nd, 2012]
GOP Presidential contender Rick Santorum, who appears likely to come from far behind to finish in the top 3 in Tuesday's Iowa Caucuses, is trying to out-do his former Congressional colleague Newt Gingrich when it comes to insulting Palestinians.
Gingrich called the Palestinians an "invented" people who didn't exist until sometime in the 20th century. Santorum criticized Gingrich’s widely-reported remarks as “provocative,” but his own more extreme views got little attention at the time because he was considered a hopeless back-of-the-pack candidate and not being taken very seriously.
But now that he is rising rapidly in the polls, his comments deserve a second look. As far as Santorum is concerned, Palestinians don’t exist.
“There are no Palestinians,” he told a questioner at a campaign event in Iowa. You can see the video here.
"All the people who live in the West Bank are Israelis. There are no Palestinians. This is Israeli land," the former Pennsylvania senator said.
"The West Bank is part of Israel," which won it as "part of an aggressive attack by Jordan and others" in 1967. Israel doesn't have to give it back any more than the United States has to give New Mexico and Texas to Mexico, which were gotten "through a war," he said.
