Is it bad to start by saying that Rick Santorum will be missed as the 2012 presidential elections draw near? It may not be true, depending on which way it’s taken, but for laughs at how ridiculous politics could be, Rick Santorum was a top-notch comedian. The homophobic extremist wasn’t much of a politician as he was the crabby old-age father who makes up rules for the neighborhood children that aren’t taken so kindly.

Speaking to a rally of supporters, Santorum’s campaign ended when he fell short of money to hold up his bid for presidency. The sweater-vest attired underdog of the race was beginning to fall behind Romney before his decision to drop out of the race. And what a glorious campaign it was! Not many people can complain about current President Obama for wanting US citizen to go to college like he did, saying, “what a snob” of Obama. Santorum was infatuated with the idea of a state and church unification and disgusted by the idea of woman having access to contraception.

From the beginning, Santorum attempted to embrace his nerdy, little-guy status by constantly bringing up his lack of money for a campaign, his family upbringing and the words “God” and “Christianity”, but you have to give it to him: the main stayed longer than what was predicted, as other candidates like Michelle Bachmann and Herman Cain fell to the side with their own campaigns. His idea and personal beliefs were his guide through interviews and speeches, which turned him from the underdog to, well, quite annoying.
