Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign
bobwrit writes with this excerpt from CNN:
"Conservative challenger Rick Santorum announced Tuesday that he is suspending his Republican presidential campaign after a weekend of 'prayer and thought,' effectively ceding the GOP nomination to front-runner Mitt Romney. Santorum made his announcement after the weekend hospitalization of his 3-year-old daughter Isabella, and in the face of tightening poll numbers in Pennsylvania — the state he represented as a U.S. senator — ahead of the April 24 primary. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we made the decision to get into this race around our kitchen table, against all the odds,' Santorum told a news conference, flanked by emotional family members. 'We made a decision over the weekend that while the presidential race for us is over, and I will suspend my campaign effective today, we are not done fighting.'"
Yes, but think of all the tech implications.
Such as, uh...
Didn't Santorum want to censor porn online? So I guess our porn is safe. Also, Google can now safely restore "santorum" to its original forthy meaning, and we can stop hearing about some candidate no one cares about when searching for it.
That's seriously all I've got for why this would be "news for nerds" in any way.
You are in a maze of twisty little relative jumps, all alike.

Sorry it makes you sad, but this is just click whoring by Slashdot editors.
I read today's news headlines in various media outlets. Based on your childish and homophobic post I'll assume you get your news from the blogosphere. To each his own.
Frothy-Mix? Don't like his politics or values? Fine! We can debate that on its own merit. But fuck you and your new vernacular of his name, Santorum.
I personally can't stand Obama's ideology, but you don't see me making personal insulting comments about the man. And yet, the "Left" is supposed to be so intellectually superior. Or so we're led to believe by the mass leftist media and academia. Whatever.
Life is not for the lazy.
Fighting for what? Against the ideals of your own Church that basically came out and said that universal health care is a right? That evolution is just fine? That women don't have to be barefoot and in the kitchen? That the world is older than 6000 years? That social justice is a good idea?
Keep fuckin' that chicken, Rick.
I suspect he's going to keep fighting certain urges that make him a homophobe.

Does that mean you're a douchebag?

Centrists don't spend deliberately spend the nation into bankruptcy, encourage racial violence, and (though intermediaries) encourage the creation of diseased mobs in major cities, all of which Obama has done.

Is the Constitution frightening? His positions are basically the positions of the founding fathers.
"He has said that for these reasons he would have voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, had he been in Congress in 1996. The act allows a state to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries"
He's anti-constitution. The Founding Fathers created the idea of Full Faith and Credit. Ron Paul would roll the Constitution out on the bathroom floor and crap all over it when it's inconvenient, like any other politician. He refuses to follow the Constitution where inconvenient. He's not pro-constitution. He's anti-constitution, it just happens he's more in line with it than Bush or Obama (not a hard feat).
I haven't seen a single anti-gay conservative actually come in on the side of the Constitution on this matter, and it's just proof to me that all libertarians are anti-constitution as well.
