Little Ricky won the Kansas caucuses today. When I read this I wanted to throw up.
In Wichita, where thousands gathered for what was called the state’s largest caucus, Karen Santorum spoke on behalf of her husband, who was campaigning in Missouri. Mrs. Santorum emphasized her husband’s dedication to limited government and to being “a greater fighter for life.”
But the speech was most notable for how personal it was, with Mrs. Santorum offering embarrassed “thank you’s” when the crowd applauded and choking up while describing the couple’s daughter born with severe birth defects.
She said she had not wanted her husband to run for president. “Eventually Rick said, ‘Honey, can you pray about this? I believe God is calling me.’ ”
“What did it for us was two things,” she said. “No. 1, believing this was God’s will for our family. And No. 2, Obamacare.”
She used a biblical reference to describe his campaign, calling him the David facing off against many Goliaths.
“He’s not blown and tossed by the wind of political correctness,” she said. “He is who he is.”
If God is calling for Rick Santorum to be the president of the United States he must be done with that whole blessing thing.
