Santorum: 'Nazis on My Mind'

"Senator Byrd's inappropriate remarks comparing his Republican colleagues with Nazis are inexcusable. . . . These comments lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate. He should retract his statement and ask for pardon."
--Sen. Rick Santorum, March 2, 2005, on the Senate Floor.

"The audacity of some members to stand up and say 'How dare you break this rule' . . . . It's the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, 'I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me. How dare you bomb my city? It's mine.' "
--Sen. Rick Santorum, May 19, 2005, on the Senate Floor.

"Sen. Rick Santorum said last night that if he loses his re-election bid, it could set the stage for terrorism to become more of a threat than the Nazis ever were. 'If we are not successful here and things don’t go right in the election, there’s a good chance that the course of our country could change,' he said, 'We are in the equivalent of the late 1930s' . . . ."
