Not curious at all. He's smart enough to know that now that we have pretty much tossed education under the bus in this country there is a huge base of uneducated, virtually illiterate voters to be had. People who are superstitious (read religious) and suspicious of “smart” people.Speaking to a tea party group in Michigan on Saturday, former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) accused President Obama of being a “snob” because he wants “everybody in America to go to college.”
The statement is a curious one considering that Santorum — who holds a B.A., M.B.A. and J.D. — holds more advanced degrees than Obama, who has a B.A. and a J.D.
WaPo
Indeed. No longer do we want our children to get an education and do better than us. And what a scary thought that an education might create more Obamas."President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.”
As the crowd applauded, Santorum continued.
“There are good decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them,” he said. “Oh, I understand why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his.”
Rick Santorum is counting on a anti-intellectual, slow-witted electorate, and the GOP would love nothing more than to have a whole country full of ignorant citizens to manipulate. Rick Santorum is one more shameless whore, my apologies to honest whores. There's just no denying it.
Targeting and insulting working-class voters. And they're apparently too stupid to realize it, because they vote for him.The statement from Santorum comes as the candidate is targeting working-class voters in his bid to blunt former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s (R) momentum in Tuesday’s key primary states of Arizona and Michigan.
And see this update.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
