(Via Think Progress)Santorum: Bush’s Iraq Approach Is ‘Lincolnesque’Today on Fox News, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said President Bush’s approach to the war in Iraq, particularly his recent speech, was “Lincolnesque.”
Fox Host Martha MacCallum asked Santorum what he thought of the criticism that President Bush “is just going his own way, not listening to the people, not listening to Congress.” Santorum responded, “Good for him.” Santorum also added that Bush understands, but most people aren’t aware, that we are already at war with Iran.
This is one of the sorriest quotes from a man who is utterly bereft of moral bearings. Supposedly, America is a democracy, and war is not just a word, but a legal term that requires the consent of Congress and the governed to be invoked. People like Santorum are much more comfortable with the trappings of dictatorship, or even monarchy, than they are with democracy.
After all, the people gave Mr. Santorum the boot. He and his ilk represent no one but their corporate/theocratic masters and their own selfish interests. May they get the place in historical infamy they so richly deserve.
