Okay, so he didn't use those words exactly. However, he, perhaps unintentionally, insinuated just as much. At the Values Voter Summit on Saturday, the former Pennsylvania Senator and rumored star of the porno "Spreading Santorum All Over the U.S. of A." - Rick Santorum - said the following: "We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country. We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."
Rick Santorum - the former front-runner to the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election - went somewhere I won't even go, as he insinuated that conservative Republicans are, for lack of a better word, stupid. Sure, while a study released not long ago showcased that the average liberal person has a higher IQ than the average conservative and while it seems as if to most (not all) conservatives, fact-checking is akin to Satan reaching inside of them and pulling their hearts out of their chests, I don't think it's all too bright to insinuate that the average person of any group is stupid. Of course, if the wannabe-Jesus clone is right, perhaps the audience didn't understand what he was saying. Going even further, maybe he didn't even understand what he was saying. I'm thinking the latter is probably more likely than the former. Santorum may want to play off of this for some money, create and sell some shirts and bumper stickers, which read, "I'm stupid. I like Rick Santorum."
If Santorum runs for president again, he could play off of this even further and in an ad, close with this - "So if you like me, you're stupid. I'm stupid, so if you like me, you are too. So if you're stupid like me and like me, be stupid and vote for me. Be conservative. Be stupid. Vote for me. I'm Rick Santorum and I approve this message. Oh and I love Jesus. Amen."
