This morning I’m saying something I didn’t think I would ever say:
Keep Rick Santorum and his family in your thoughts and, if it’s up your alley, prayers.
I don’t like Santorum. I think he is a sad, withered little man who is pretty solidly a political joke. However, he has a daughter, Bella. She’s three, and she’s got a defect called Trisonomy 18 that puts her in the hospital a lot. She’s there now, in the hospital, so he’s taking a break from campaigning and, if things keep going as they are, will probably quit the race. It’s not a terminal illness, per se, but it makes her really weak and fragile. She is only one of the 10 percent of babies that makes it past a year of age. She could very well die now, or on her next hospital visit.
I know a lot of you are going to think “well he isn’t fit to have a kid anyway,” or some such, but holy hell guys, no one deserves this, not even Rick Santorum.
I’m not trying to make any kind of political statement here. Just spare a thought?

I can’t guarantee the validity of this, but I wanted to dig this up after seeing all these posts about Santorum today.
Reblogging again because every other post celebrating Santorum’s decision to drop out of his campaign has several thousand notes. Please guys.
I know that Santorum is not the best man around, but please keep him and his family in your thoughts/prayers.
You know…Rick may not be the best candidate for President or anything government related, but in the end he’s still a human being. A husband. A father. I wish the best for him and his family right now.
This is the brilliant part of the internet- what differentiates us from the extremists and the psychos. Because when push comes to shove and someone needs good vibes or prayers, no matter how much of a scumbag they are, we love and tolerate the shit out of them. Here’s looking at you, Santorum family- good luck.
He could have been President of the United States (I know he was behind but stranger things have happened in politics), but he dropped out of the race mainly to care for his daughter. No matter his opinions, he branded himself as a family man who put his wife and children first no matter what. And when it came to the choice between his ailing daughter and the possibility of holding the most powerful office on the planet… he made the difficult choice, the noble choice.
So Mr. Santorum… good luck to you and your family. I know it will be a hard road, but as long as you stick together you’ll make it.
