Rick Santorum goes explorin’ (does that rhyme?)

Rick Santorum just might want to be President.

From Reuters:

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum will set up an exploratory committee in pursuit of the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, he said on Wednesday.

Santorum, once a top Senate Republican leader, said he was prepared to take the formal step toward running for president, traveling the country and measuring support for a potential campaign.

They even quote him:

“Now really the test for me is whether we can raise the money that’s necessary, so I’m going to set up a committee,” he said on the Fox News Channel. “We’re going to determine over the next few weeks as to whether the resources are going to be there to do it.”

And in case you were wondering if you should ever vote for him, here are a few other quotes:

Isn’t that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?

The idea is that the state doesn’t have rights to limit individuals’ wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire.

I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts.

So there you have it. The next Republican nominee just might be a man who thinks “protecting marriage” is as important as protecting our airports, has no problem limiting your rights if he doesn’t agree with you, and is ok with gay people so long as, you know, they don’t do “gay stuff.”
