This dude is beginning to sound more and more like a drunken circus tent revivalist, and his fans love it.
Just a few excerpts from the local paper:
The crowd was a big part of the event booing U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., calling Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg traitor! and reminding Santorum that American revolutionaries had more than muskets.
And God! said a voice from the crowd, prompting one of a dozen standing ovations during Santorums 75 minutes on stage.

Santorum began reciting, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their but paused for the crowd to shout Creator! before continuing, with certain unalienable rights.
That is who we are, thats where our rights come from, he said, eliciting Bless the Lord! from the audience.
