Santorum actually said that mainline Protestants are no longer Christians:
We all know that this country was founded on a Judeo-Christian ethic but the Judeo-Christian ethic was a Protestant Judeo-Christian ethic, sure the Catholics had some influence, but this was a Protestant country and the Protestant ethic, mainstream, mainline Protestantism, and of course we look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it.
Wow.
Stunning.
Basically, all Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Dutch Reformists and Quakers are "gone from the world of Christianity." Santorum just excommunicated about 45 million Americans.
I really, really, really want this guy to be the nominee. We're talking greater than 1964 type numbers.
8:57 AM PT: Santorum picks up on DNC talking points and attacks Romney on earmark hypocrisy:
In Columbus, OH Saturday morning, Pennsylvanian says Romney asked Congress "for tens of millions of dollars to bail out the Salt Lake games — in an earmark."
Santorum: "One of his strongest supporters, John McCain, called it potentially the worst boondoggle in earmark history. And now Governor Romney is suggesting, 'Oh Rick Santorum earmarked' as he requested almost half a billion dollars in earmarks as governor of Massachusetts to his federal congressmen and senators. Does the word hypocrisy come to mind?"
Jed noted the DNC's video in his
post yesterday.
