Among the multitude of lies Santorum tells, this one stands out

Conservative voters are driven by fear -- and Santorum dishes it out in huge daily doses, liberally (oops--shouldn't use that word) filled with lies.

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS NOT ON FIRE
By Stephen Pizzo

And why aren't they -- on fire? The media picks up and runs with such trivia these days. But when a candidate for the highest office in the land drops a two-ton turd right on their doorsteps, it can't be found on the front page of any American newspapers. (Though this one is making big headlines in the Netherlands.)

I thought my head was going to explode last night when I saw this on Rachel Maddow's show. (Kudos Ms. R.)   So I want to share and hope you will share it as well.

So here we go. BTW... NOT A WORD OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS TRUE.  NOT ONE WORD OF IT.  All easily verified. But you wouldn't even know it happened if your only source of news is your morning paper.  Okay .. first what Father Rick Santorum said:

"In the Netherlands, people wear different bracelets if they are elderly. And the bracelet is: 'Do not euthanize me.' Because they have voluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands but half of the people who are euthanized - ten percent of all deaths in the Netherlands - half of those people are enthanized involuntarily at hospitals because they are older and sick. And so elderly people in the Netherlands don't go to the hospital. They go to another country, because they are afraid, because of budget purposes, they will not come out of that hospital if they go in there with sickness."
-- Former senator Rick Santorum, at the American Heartland Forum in Columbia, Missouri, Feb. 3, 2012

Needless to say, folks in the Netherlands are appalled that the person saying it wants to run the biggest country on the planet. And finally, that no one over here seems to care.

And, here is the video, readily available on YouTube for any curious reporter who might want to follow up on this. (At the risk, of course, of being accused of being a foot-soldier in the "war on religion.") See video at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V4U0dOax3Y
