The attorney and United States Senator from Pennsylvania was nearly unknown on a national level prior to 2011 when he threw his name in the hat for the GOP nomination for the 2012 US presidential election. Once Santorum opened his mouth however his often controversial views on the topics made him the top story on news programs and newspaper headlines almost instantly.

Rick Santorum on Evolution
There are many on the left and in the scientific community, so to speak, who are afraid of that discussion because oh my goodness you might mention the word, God-forbid, "God" in the classroom, or "Creator," or that there may be some things that are inexplainable by nature where there may be, where it’s better explained by a Creator, of course we can’t have that discussion. It’s very interesting that you have a situation that science will only allow things in the classroom that are consistent with a non-Creator idea of how we got here, as if somehow or another that’s scientific. Well maybe the science points to the fact that maybe science doesn’t explain all these things. And if it does point to that, why don’t you pursue that? But you can’t because it’s not science, but if science is pointing you there how can you say it’s not science? It’s worth the debate. - 2Up 8Down 2
Rick Santorum on Global Warming

Rick Santorum on Conservatives
We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country. We will never have the elite smart people on our side, because they believe they should have the power to tell you what to do. So our colleges and universities, they’re not going to be on our side. - 5Up 4Down 0
Rick Santorum on Mormonism
Would the potential attraction to Mormonism by simply having a Mormon in the White House threaten traditional Christianity by leading more Americans to a church that some Christians believe misleadingly calls itself Christian, is an active missionary church, and a dangerous cult? -
