**C** onservatives **U** nite **M** oneybomb [https://www.ricksantorum.com/unite](https://www.ricksantorum.com/unite) If I didn’t know better, I’d think the guy is some kind of performance artist who’s even more talented than Colbert. It’s even worded awkwardly as if someone wanted a specific acronym. Seriously? Nobody thought this through? Especially with this guy’s history on sexual subjects? ---

Considering that “money” can also be shorthand for money shot (or cum shot), one must wonder if this is a fundraiser or a gangbang… ---

Not so fast, guys. Says there on the site, that if I donate a hundred bucks, I can get a free sweater vest. A free sweater vest can overcome a lot of sophomoric sniggering… ---

What would you wear a sweater vest for? Because it’s chilly but you don’t want to get the sleeves dirty? ---

So is santorum mixed up in the cum? What are the laws around that? Is this a full-blown Super-Pac? and if they’re super packing, santorum shouldn’t be in the cum, right? you gotta keep the santorum and cum separate with that kind of packing I would think, otherwise thing’s will get messy ---

My day was made this past Sunday, when I saw the Santorum campaign bus driving in Myrtle Beach, SC. I got in front of it, slowed waaaay down, and flipped it off for a good minute before continuing on my (much happier) way. ---

> [@asterion](#): > > What would you wear a sweater vest for? Because it’s chilly but you don’t want to get the sleeves dirty? I think vests are all about protection. You know what I mean? Like a lifevest protects you from drowning and bulletproof vests protect you from getting shot and the sweatervest protects you from pretty girls. ‘Leave me alone. Can’t you see I’m cold just right here?’” - Demetri Martin ---

It’s brilliant because its going to get everyone to link to santorum’s actual website instead of savage’s. This is how they plan to combat the google problem. ---

> [@sachertorte](#): > > It’s brilliant because its going to get everyone to link to santorum’s actual website instead of savage’s. This is how they plan to combat the google problem. I’m with you. This is intentional. It’s way too obvious not to be. The very people linking to Dan Savages site will link to this. It will also drive publicity. ---

It’s also quite possible, he is simply having a joke about it. I mean, they really had to twist words to get that acronym. There is no way that isn’t intentional. The words " conservatives unite moneybomb" just don’t fall off your tongue. ---

> [@sachertorte](#): > > It’s brilliant because its going to get everyone to link to santorum’s actual website instead of savage’s. This is how they plan to combat the google problem. Maybe, but I don’t think many people are directly linking “Santorum” to it, so it won’t be competing directly with the problem site. ---
