As if we need another reason to hate Rick Santorum...

I thought Bristol Palin was handling all this.

people like him scare me with their idiocy

Santorum is just the monster of the week of the increasingly ridiculous serial that is the Republican party.

---

Santorum takes his catholicism more seriously than the pope--does this really surprise anyone?

---

iflit - I know that quote you're talking about. It's often taken out of context as Santorum sort of dances around the subject, but he does admit that pleasure is "an important part" of sex. But he's still an idiot.

There was a woman in our office who kept a photo of her baby on her desk that was taken when it died shortly after childbirth. That was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.

Rick Santorum To John King: I Didn’t Say Black People, I Said 'Blah' People

Seriously? Rick's excuses are sounding more and more like Goth's these days.

When it comes to these morons, making sense is not exactly on the top of their list. Did you hear Newt explain away his revolving account with Tiffany's? Mitt Romney talk about letting Michigan go under during the auto bailouts and then take credit when the bailouts actually saved the auto industry? If you call them out you are setting them up with gotcha questions. To quote them word for word to them is being dishonest.

Santorum, besides being over the top right wing, is an idiot. He says ridiculous things that are factually incorrect and doesn't get called on them all the time because instead of attending to his inaccuracies people pay more attention to his bizarre out of step politics. States do not have the rights to outlaw contraception and they have not have that right for decades. Similarly his ridiculous statement that everyone, including straight people, should keep their sexuality out of the military, in response to the question by the gay soldier at the debates, which made no sense at all. Obviously, straight married people when they freely refer to their spouses to their military colleagues are alluding to their sexuality, and certainly Santorum was not suggesting that that should be prohibited.

In other words, the guy is a fool

Such a frothy arguement!

Another reason to HATE Santorum.His wife had an abortion. Rick is against abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. However, an abortion saved his own wife's life. So, it's okay for his wife to have an abortion but any other woman who has one is a whore and a sinner.

The way to combat his sophistry is first to give him his due, as limited and dim as his thinking is.

The right for gay people to marry, he is correct, cannot simply be based on the Declaration of Independence's right to the pursuit of happiness ALONE. Not only is the DofI not the constitution, but he has a point, a silly one, but a point nonetheless, that people define happiness in all manner of ways - including, his example, polygamy - which the law clearly can prohibit.

However, that is beside the point.

What we are talking about is the right of one person to marry another person, not the right of one person to marry more than one person. And the rubric to apply to this is not the unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness ALONE but the doctrine of equal protection under the law - the constitutional guarantee of equal rights.

The right of a person to not marry more than one person is applied equally to everyone in the United States.

The right of a person to marry a person of age whom they want to choose and who wants to marry them is not applied equally to everyone in the United States. It is a right enjoyed by men who wish to marry women and women who wish to marry men. But it is denied to men who wish to marry men and women who wish to marry women.
