Santorum: Dems Victory a "Disaster"


MYERSTOWN - U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum last night urged the GOP faithful in Lebanon County to man the phones, knock on doors, take time off from work and do everything they can to help re-elect him Nov. 7. The future of the country is at stake, he said.

"I don't want to win this race for me, but for this country. All I ask for is two weeks of sacrifice. ... I need a huge vote out of this county," Santorum told an audience of about 200 at the party's annual fundraising dinner at the Lantern Lodge.

Santorum said as he was leaving the dinner that a Democratic win could be "a disaster for the future of the world."

Polls show Santorum trailing Democrat Bob Casey, while voters nationwide are showing increased disapproval of Bush administration policies and frustration with the war in Iraq. Santorum called the election "sort of the presidential race of 2006," because it is a forum on the Bush administration.

"I want to be senator because this is an important point in our nation's history," he said.

He painted a frightening picture of what would happen should he lose, warning of "Islamic fascism."

Islamic fascists don't mind dying to destroy the United States and "we need the courage to name our enemy. ... But because we're dealing with religion, we cower away," he said.

Santorum said Pennsylvania is a pivotal state in helping Republicans maintain control of Congress.

Santorum said he can still win the election because Republicans in counties like Lebanon are very good at getting out the vote.

"You in Pennsylvania will have a huge role to play," he said.

If you want to see the definition of disaster as it relates to the Democrats, just google "Jimmy Carter & Iran" or "Bill Clinton & North Korea, or Somalia, or slutty interns"
