Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, February 17, 2012

The Detroit Free-Press is hitting Rick Santorum for driving an Audi A6 as part of his consulting business, as revealed in his 2008 tax returns. The paper reports, "Rick Santorum preaches Made in America, but, according to his tax returns, he was driving a German-made luxury car just a few years back." Santorum has made American manufacturing a major theme of his campaign. During the Iowa caucuses, Santorum crossed the state in a 2006 Dodge Ram pickup belonging to a campaign aide.

Poor Frothy, he only could afford the $45,000 model.

That foul odor is Axe's taco, btw, in case you were wondering.

Crawl back up Rmoney's bung hole, LOD.

Speaking of hypocrite:

"Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was delinquent on his property taxes due September 2011 until last week. Sherrod, who angrily demands bigger central government and higher taxes from "The Rich," paid the nearly $900 in taxes, penalties, and interest due for his $222,000 D.C. condo only after being questioned by a reporter."

"I was late," he said on a conference call with reporters when asked about the recent delinquency. "I misplaced the bill and I paid it as soon as I found out. I paid a penalty for being late, and it won't happen again."

"When a reporter noted that it also happened five and six years ago, Brown said, "I misplaced it then. This is a small apartment. I'm not in D.C. nearly every week, I'm here when the Senate's in session, I'm here three or four nights a week. I paid the penalty. And in no way, obviously, was I avoiding taxes."

"With no reporters reminding him, Sherrod actually fell so far behind on property taxes his condo was listed for public auction! "

What is it with Democrats not taking responsibility with their actions? Let's ask Obama or even Weiner.

We all gravitate toward the best in class that we can afford. Frothy is no exception. The A6 is a fine ride. There are so many legit criticisms that can be leveled at Mr. Santoram, to jump on his taste in cars is silly.

I'll leave the bung hole crawling to your expertise in the area, Axe.

How in the world could it get that foul? Was it hanging around in Gannon's dumpster (Axe's favorite place)

His taste in cars is not the problem. It is his typical GOP hypocrisy. The fucking idiot can't even remember he drives a German car? Ever consider that the guy is a damned moron and shouldn't be running for office?

If you like German engineering, Ford offers a couple of world-class German designed cars made right here in the US. Just stay away from the shit designed in Detroit.

Who cares?

There are so many reasons not to vote for Frothy, this should not even be in the top 100.

I drive a mercedes. It was made in alabama.

I bet you were saying the same thing about obummer while you were supporting Hillary in th4e primaries.

Such a child

Santorum's hypocrisy is one of the lesser disturbing traits about the guy.

Rape babies are gifts from god would be in my top ten.

The fact he's so enthusiastic to go to war with Iran on Israel's behalf would also be in the top ten.

The empty, soulless, naive look in his eyes also scares me.

Are the Kock brothers funding his campaign yet?

THIS.

The guy wants to over-turn Roe v. Wade and make contraception illegal.

And he thinks gays and women are second class citizens.

For the first time in donkey's years the GOP crazies aren't gonna just shut up and accept their GOP Establishment given candidate after the shell game of the over-long nomination process is over the way they usually do.

Santorum is taking the GOP well into the heart of derptown and beyond.

The rest of the field has to move even farther right to maintain and that will sink them in the General.

Gotta love it when a plan comes together.

Obama must be laughing his ass off.

Be Well.

Making fun of this is like the KOS piece on Romney driving around in a *gasp* Canadian made Chrysler.

There are seriously bigger fish to be fired here.

Be Well.

Wow! That's like a RheinShit thread in Opposite World.

It's funny to see so many dumbasses screech about things they don't know.

For example:

"he was driving a German-made luxury car just a few years back."

Posted by axe at 01:53 PM

Volkswagen Group (Audi is a glorified VW) builds cars all over the world. The A6 is made in Russia, China, Brazil and South Africa.

But that's only the point of final assembly.

Components and sub assemblies come from the U.S., Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden and a dozen others.

And we could go further. Toyotas are designed in California

Dumbfucks like Axe do not grasp the fact that there is no such thing as a German car, or an American car. Simpletons need simplicity to survive each day.

Vermin's clueless, utterly unself-aware stupidity may be slug-sluggish, but, brothers and sisters, it sure does run both broad and deep.

Now just hold on Doc. I understand your need to blast everything Vermin, but he has a point here. Simpletons do need to reduce everything to broad characterizations in order to make it make sense in their closed minds.

And furthermore, it's probably a statement you would agree with had it come from someone else.

During the Iowa caucuses, Santorum crossed the state in a 2006 Dodge Ram pickup belonging to a campaign aide.

That's a deep commitment to Buy American right there.
"Remember, kids, Borrow American!"
This guy is the GOP's best hope?

Did he drive it to/from a gay bar? But beyond that of all the candidates running the little hitler mustache seem to fit Santorum the best as to who approaches der fuher in the physical match. You know he's got the whole black hair swatch thing going on, plus like der furher he's a catholic and all the psyco-bable that come out of that. Schnell! Actung!! Drive der Auuuuuudi!!!!!

I couldn't afford the $45,000 model either - but my 1996 A6 quatro is awesome!

A6 is ok but S5 totally rocks. Like, beyond imagining.

My likes it.

So what..

Geez--the guy is right of Me on some issues and this is the best they could complain about?

Why not talk about the issues and have him answer questions about the 5 times he voted to raise the debt limit--or has a penchant for earmarks--voted for the bridge to nowhere...

Why would a person even respond to this type of BS.
If him driving a Audi is going to make you vote for some one else, you where never going to vote for him in the first place.

But this does clearly show just how Stupid and shallow the left thinks every one is.

If this story effected you in anyway other than to laugh at its foolishness you have mental health issues.

....NOPE IN NOVEMBER......

This is newsworthy? Really? Obama is "all about bringing business back to America". Uh huh! If you want to pick at a scab, let's pick at the one where Obama rides around on his campaign bus which is funded by the tax payers which was made in CANADA! HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You bunch of pathetic hypocrites. PATHETIC~

"...campaign bus which is funded by the tax payers which was made in CANADA! HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Hey now. Don't blame us if you guys can't build an armoured bus.

Typical dogfucker (and Chuck Norris fetishist) thinks the campaign bus is not paid for by campaign funds.

Little wonder the GOP is going down in flames this November.

The "campaign bus" of which you speak was used to transport the idiot around on the "non-campaign" rally trip he went on. Since those travels were "non-campaign", yes dear we got the bill on that one. Most of his expenses now on the campaign trail are still being billed to us. Learn your facts and you might graduate to at least a C student.

I thought the already chose Mitt? Who cares about this guy? why is he getting all the press?

Just because they make them here don't mean the profit stays here. I always hate it when someone brags about their "american made toyota." sure some schumck gets $15 an hour to assemble it big deal.

How about that! GM paying out all kinds of bonuses to their union workers and their bosses! WHAT ABOUT PAYING BACK THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER?
