Well Said

Rick Santorum at the Value Voters Summit:

Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum attacked the media and "smart people" for not being on the side of conservatives in a speech to the Values Voter Summit on Saturday.
"We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country," Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told the audience at the Omni Shoreham hotel. "We will never have the elite, smart people on our side."
The media "doesn't like the other side," Santorum said. "And not necessarily, I would argue, because they agree with them, but because they can influence the country.
"If just a few people make decisions about what this world looks like, what this country looks like, then you have people sitting in offices at major media outlets and Hollywood who think they can deal with a small group of people, to get them to jump through the hoops they want you to," Santorum said.

Yeah, Rick, smart people aren't going to be on your side.  Seriously, when did being intelligent become a bad thing?  I could understand somebody saying that somebody in book smart, but lacks common sense, but Republicans have completely undermined any possibly claim they have to utilizing common sense.  When your solution to the global economic meltdown is cutting taxes and getting rid of regulations, you've veered far away from common sense.  I understand that Republican voters enjoy being told that they are better people than the rest of the country, but why do they like being told they aren't smart?
