Rick Santorum (R-Va) Declares Bush King!

(It's Good to be the King, Part II)

From AmericaBlog:

Rick Santorum: President can do "whatever is necessary"

Really Rick? So that would include taking people's guns away, having background checks at gun shows, keeping permanent federal records on gunowners, repealing the 2nd Amendment? You said "whatever is necessary"?

Just wait until the first shopping mall is attacked by some Saudi with a machine gun, then kiss your guns goodbye. And the best part is that Congress won't have to fire a shot, so to speak - Bush will do it all by executive order and pro-gun Republicans like Rick Santorum will say "hey, whatever is necessary."

From the Philly Inquirer:
"The senator recognizes that in times of war, the President has the constitutional oversight or the constitutional ability to do whatever is necessary to protect the American people," Santorum spokesman Robert L. Traynham said. "He fully supports the President's ability to protect American lives by going this step in terms of listening in on conversations."

Does Santorum feel that President Bush can do as he sees fit just becuase he's the President or does he feel that way becuase he thinks Bush is a legitimate "Defender of the Faith?"

I'm starting to wonder if lil' Ricky doesn't have one or two saints relics tucked under his pillow at night.
