Leave it to Rick to accidentally tell it like it is while trying to woo the radical right wingers that now control the GOP. While the Occupy Wall Street people were protesting his campaign appearance, Rick couldn't help but mock the OWS movement, the 99% they represent and the President that supports them.
"... That’s not what a leader of this country should do but Barack Obama has sided with the 99 versus one.”
“He supported this movement, this movement that is intolerant and disrespectful. He supported them and embraced them,” Santorum said to loud cheers from his supporters. “Why? Because it’s consistent with exactly what Barack Obama’s trying to do with this country.”

Could anyone imagine the day when someone running for President would publicly side with one percent? Did anyone, other than the most twisted right winger, think it would be anything but political suicide to call out a President for siding with the American people? When did it become politically acceptable to publicly run on the platform of enriching and further empowering the wealthiest 1% and the expense of the other 99% of Americans?
To the thinking person these comments by Rick are actually far more damning than Mitt's "I don't care about poor people" remark.
