Rick Santorum Says the Darndest Things...

[Vypernight]

I figured he topped the list with;

"I'm running for president."

[clockworkgirl21]

then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.

I see nothing wrong with any of this being legal. Incest is gross to me, but as long as they're both adults, who are they hurting? Adultery belongs between the person cheating and their partner, the government doesn't need to be in it.

^Right on.

I have nothing, absolutly nothing, to say about this story.  It kinda speaks for itself.  I can't even pull juicy quotes from it because of how disgusting it is.  And yes, it's linked to him.

Ironbite-it's just...heart rending.

[Askold]

Yikes!

I tried to pick a quote from the article but it is hard to choose since it keeps getting worse and worse. Excorcism, "Drive by therapy," the "school", kids getting beaten, sexual abuse...

I'd like to complain that reading this ruined my day, but considering what those "patients" have gone through...

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Uh......

Reading this killed a part of me.

Yeah well it gets worse for those kids in the futre.  As for Santorum.....

So he's going to be taking some immediate cuts to Social Security(if elected) and he's going to talk about the "dangers of contriception"(if elected).  Because, as we all know, if people can't have babies, they'll do things.  And Social Security just needs trimming as it's just to big a beast to control.

Ironbite-ug.

I can only think of one danger when it comes to contraception: If you use it, you may enjoy yourself, and want more sex outside of marriage without having babies. And we can't have that.

[ironbite]

Uh...clockwork.  What are you doing out of the kitchen?

Ironbite-don't you know...Father Santorum wants you in there instead of expressing your opinions.

[clockworkgirl21]

Believe me, no one wants to eat my cooking.

Now he's saying that having your parents in prison is preferable to having parents of the same sex because "a child needs a mother and a father!".

I "dangers of contraception*" reminds me of that John King quote that if "everyone used contraception no body would have children." I'm really curious to know if these conservative politicians understand how contraception works in the first place.

*That would be an awesome band name. Not like for an awesome band, they'd be mediocre, but they could open a show or two.

Because people who are in prison are capable of caring and providing for a child from their cell!

[QueenofHearts]

Wait a minute, is this guy really this stupid

Marriage is not a right

Has he never heard of Loving v. Virginia which concluded that "The Freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men" and "Marriage is one of the 'basic civil rights of man' fundamental to our very existence and survival."

I give up. Where can I find this angry dome?

[Ranger_Joe]

Santorum truly scares me. He's ease of discussing the enforcement of Man's Law to God's Law, yet speaks out about Muslim Sharia is quite frankly; terrifying.
