I Don't Know Which Realization Is Weirder…

…the realization that Santorum's jobs populism more or less proposed universal enslavement as his employment plan, or the realization that the GOP is now so far to the right that Santorum's endorsement of serfdom* actually still is an attack on Romney from his left!

*Yes, like every other Republican candidate -- and he reminded celebrants of much of this explicitly in his victory speech tonight -- Santorum wants more tax cuts for the rich, wants corporate taxes slashed, wants to deregulate finance and big industry, wants to destroy healthcare reform, wants to voucherize Medicare and privatize Social Security, and when you give literally all the money to the richest of the rich and then make them above the law what you get is serfdom even if you say you feel their pain as you make them serfs.
