Rick Santorum Is Dumber Than He Looks

Where the efing hell does the Republican party find these people:

Rick Santorum thinks President Obama had indoctrination in mind when he said in his State of the Union address Tuesday that higher education ought to be available to every American family.

The GOP presidential candidate, who is running third in the Florida polls ahead of next Tuesday’s primary in that state, told an audience there Wednesday that the real purpose behind Obama’s higher-education push is “undermining the very principles of our country every single day by indoctrinating kids with left-wing ideology. [....] The indoctrination that occurs in American universities is one of the keys to the left’s holding and maintaining power in America.” To applause, he said people should stop contributing to these universities and colleges.

In a campaign of stupidity, this will most surely rank as one of the most stupid stupidities of 2012. The candidate’s opposition to higher education is nothing new. He’s been hammering on that theme for quite a while. Never mind that American men who don’t have a college education are making 47 percent less in inflation-adjusted dollars as they did in 1969.
