Title: Rick Santorum Says the Darndest Things...
Post by: Smurfette Principle on January 05, 2012, 07:00:53 pm

Silly, PC Americans, Santorum didn't say "black people" (http://crooksandliars.com/diane-sweet/santorum-i-didnt-say-black-people-i-sa?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook) when he said, “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.” He said "blah people." Because that's totally a phrase.

I don't know, let's look at the evidence:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgLMghcPDVs

For those without video capabilities:

Quote
Santorum allegedly made the controversial comments when discussing welfare in an interview Wednesday night with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, but he maintained that people misheard the word "black" when he stumbled on a word.

“I looked at that, and I didn't say that. If you look at it, what I started to say is a word and then sort of changed and it sort of - blah - came out. And people said I said ‘black.’ I didn't," Santorum said while smiling away.

“And I can tell you, I don't use - I don't - first off, I don't use the term ‘black’ very often. I use the term ‘African-American’ more than I use ‘black' ... I think sometimes you want to give someone the benefit of the doubt if it's a little bit of a blurred word."

Hey mods can we change the thread title to "Rick Santorum says the darndest things"?  sorta a catch-all Rick Santorum thread?  Cause I've got some doozies.

But this...yeah this is just stupid.  He's obviously a bigot and a racist and the fact that he has to backtrack all the time is disgusting.  But on to more disgusting things from ol' forthy.

We'll start off with a very nice expose on his views on how much government should keep out of the bedroom.  Just kidding.

Rick Santorum denies he linked homosexual sex to "man on dog" sex (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/05/rick-santorum-homosexuality-man-on-dog_n_1187103.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003)

Of course he totally did and here's his own words thrown in his face.

Quote
We have laws in states, like the one at the Supreme Court right now, that has sodomy laws and they were there for a purpose. Because, again, I would argue, they undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family. And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, 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. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold -- Griswold was the contraceptive case -- and abortion. And now we're just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you -- this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family. You say, well, it's my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that's antithetical to strong healthy families. Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, where it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.

Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality--

Amazing isn't it?  He's got an amazing track record for denying what he himself said because it's not politically viable.  Here's a though Rick...STOP SAYING STUPID SHIT!  But on to more stuff.

I just love his views on Judicial independence.  In fact, he's even got a plan about how to deal with judges who piss off conservatives.

Send them to Guam (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/05/rick-santorum-new-hampshire-primary-2012_n_1186775.html)

Sure you don't want to send them to Gitmo there Ricky?  Because it sounds to me that's what you want to do.  Oh and just because the Judaical branch is listed in Article III in the Constitution doesn't mean it's third place in and the least powerful of the branches of Government.  But then again, you barely understand anything about government now do you?

Ironbite-really wish we lived in a world where this man didn't have a political future.

IIRC, that comes from one statistic which included miscarriages as abortions.

Because miscarriages may be self induced or some bullshit.

Wow, he actually argued in favour of policing people's sex life, because "it's icky", no less.

He's seriously the best the Republicans could come up with? Really?! At this rate, Obama could projectile shit right into a homeless orphan baby's face and he'd still win by a landslide.

Is it possible to determine whether or not a miscarriage is induced?  I can see why Santorum left that out.  He does that a lot.  See using is uninsurable daughter as a mouthpiece against denying coverage based on preexisting illness.

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.

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.

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.

Quote from: Rick Santorum
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."

It's a fairly traditional conservative argument- society is permanently on a knife's edge and any attempt to make major reform can only cause it's collapse.

And you, Fred, have reminded me of an all too appropriate quote from Carl Sagan:

Quote
Fundamental changes in society are sometimes labelled impractical or contrary to human nature, as if nuclear war were practical or as if there's only one human nature. But fundamental changes can clearly be made, we're surrounded by them. In the last two centuries abject slavery which was with us for thousands of years has almost entirely been eliminated in a stirring worldwide revolution. Women, systematically mistreated for millennia are gradually gaining the political and economic power traditionally denied them and some wars of aggression have recently been stopped or curtailed because of a revulsion felt by the people in the aggressor nations. The old appeals to racial sexual religious chauvinism and to rabid nationalist fervor are beginning not to work. A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed.

I guess I can understand if someone is against abortion because they think the fetus is a human being. But I don't understand how someone can be against abortion but at the same time believe it's none of the government's business if people die in poverty.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: those in poverty are being tested by God, while babies who are aborted are innocents. Those in poverty will eventually get better by praying a lot, and it's their prerogative to make sure they pray enough to get out of poverty. Fetuses are babies.

I used the phrase "a lot" because I'm quite aware that not all of them are simply pro-birth and are indeed in favor of life period.

Oh Rick, you had to open your stupid mouth on abortion (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/23/rick-santorum-abortion-rape_n_1224624.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003) didn't you?  DIDN'T YOU!?

Quote
GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum explained his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape during an interview Friday, saying that women who face such circumstances should "make the best out of a bad situation."

Let's bold what I find this absolutely horrendous.  I'll even blow it up for you.

Rick Santorum took a swipe at the gay community on Tuesday, proving that the multiple glitter-bomb attacks he received this week have done nothing to change his hard-line stance against gay rights.

According to the Palm Beach Post, he told a woman who asked why her gay son doesn't have the same rights as a heterosexual, that certain rights are reserved for people who perform activities that are "healthy for society."

"There are certain things that government does that gives people privileges in order to promote activity that are healthy for society and are best for society," Santorum said. "And those things we promote would give people advantages or benefits, government benefits because we think that is healthy activity. Mothers and fathers coming together, forming healthy marriages, having children and raising those children. Every American child has the right, and the government should support the right to have and know their mother and father and be raised by their mother and father."

On the one hand I do understand where he comes from.  A very old school mentality where mom was in the kitchen making dinner and dad waltzed in at 5:30 to said dinner.  But times, they are a changing.  And if society is going to survive, it needs to change with them.

Ironbite-Santorum and his ilk will be left in the dust if they don't change.t have the same rights as a heterosexual, that certain rights are reserved for people who perform activities that are

What's funny is that I just heard a discussion on the EVIL AND SOCIALIST NPR which had a military expert on, asking about why the military now wants to have women allowed to work with front-line units in non-primary combatant roles.

Apparently, despite not being able to, the Marines and Army have had women on the front lines for years. Heck, the Marines find middle eastern civilians find women less threatening and are more willing to talk to them about problems.

In other words, we have had women armed and at times fighting on the front lines in the middle east for years, with no appreciable effect. Ergo, Santorum and his ilk are wrong.

Why does the military want to officially be able to put women in the front lines? So the women can be eligible for promotions that require combat experience. Without this change, regardless of actual combat experience, women are being ignored for promotions.

That's it.

Women need to know their place and need to know when it is okay for them to speak. They were put on this earth for two reasons, and two reasons alone: taking care of their husband, and giving birth to his children… that is all. Any woman who tells you otherwise is obviously touting the liberal agenda of equality, and they need to be told the truth of their purpose. It is a disorder that can be fixed, but not until they go through several years of therapy to understand that they need to be subservient.”

Quote
Former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) on Sunday defended a statement he made last October in which he said that he “almost threw up” when he read John F. Kennedy’s 1960 Houston address on the role of religion in public life.

The statement by Santorum marks the GOP contender’s latest defense of his long-held views on the separation of church and state, although in his Sunday appearance he doubled down on the colorful language he employed in his October speech at a New Hampshire college.

Almost...threw up.  Well let's see what exactly it is that made him almost throw up his cookies.  Not his Girl Scout cookies because they're immoral sex feinds who want to push lesbianism and feminism on our children.

Quote
“I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute, where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote; where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference; and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him,”

Huh...so Kennedy talking about how the church shouldn't fuck with the state almost made him throw up.

There are 18,000 married gay and lesbian couples in California and at least 131,000 nationwide according to the 2010 census, conducted before New York state legalized same-sex marriage in July.

Rick Santorum says he'll try to unmarry all of them if he's elected president.

Once the U.S. Constitution is amended to prohibit same-gender marriages, "their marriage would be invalid," the former Pennsylvania senator said Dec. 30 in an NBC News interview.

"We can't have 50 different marriage laws in this country," he said. "You have to have one marriage law."

"You have to have one marriage law."

Yep. One law on the national level which allows any consenting adult, regardless of sexuality, to marry the person they love.

Marriage is not an area where people can legitimately legislate. Santorum can think what he likes about gays, so long as he respects their rights. The problem is, he wants to be a tyrant.

Here is my view of Santorum.

Even though it looks like Romney is pulling ahead and topping the game, maybe we can still expect a sudden, ramming surge from behind from Mister Santorum to send pleasurable surges throughout the quivering, nubile body of the Republican Electorate.

His victory is eventual, and when it is confirmed, the praise for Mister Santorum will pour out of the media like great chocolate rain.

Quote
Former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) on Sunday defended a statement he made last October in which he said that he “almost threw up” when he read John F. Kennedy’s 1960 Houston address on the role of religion in public life.

The statement by Santorum marks the GOP contender’s latest defense of his long-held views on the separation of church and state, although in his Sunday appearance he doubled down on the colorful language he employed in his October speech at a New Hampshire college.

Almost...threw up.  Well let's see what exactly it is that made him almost throw up his cookies.  Not his Girl Scout cookies because they're immoral sex feinds who want to push lesbianism and feminism on our children.

Quote
“I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute, where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote; where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference; and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him,”

Huh...so Kennedy talking about how the church shouldn't fuck with the state almost made him throw up.

Rick Santorum really really doesn't like women (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/08/rick-santorum-single-mothers-unwed-moms_n_1333302.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003)

No really.  Way back in 1990, when he was running for the Senate.  And he had some interesting words and ideas for the newly-created single mother class that the GOP of the time wanted to target.

Quote
During his first U.S. Senate campaign in 1994, Santorum made unwed mothers and welfare reform regular features of his stump speech. Recently, Mother Jones reported that the candidate had once argued that single mothers were "breeding more criminals" and advocated that they should be denied welfare benefits if they refused to identify the child's father.

The Huffington Post obtained transcripts of Santorum's comments and speeches from various campaign stops in 1994, which show just how far Santorum was willing to go with his proposals. Produced for the then-Sen. Harris Wofford's campaign, the video and audio transcripts show that the Pennsylvania Republican was willing to deny unwed mothers government services until they revealed private family information.

Under the plan, those unwed mothers would have to reveal the name of their child’s father in exchange for welfare and subsidized medical care. What was once the domain of private labs, family courts, and Maury Povich would become the domain of the government.

"What we say is that in order for Mom to be able to go on welfare if she has a child out of wedlock, you have to tell us who the father is," Santorum said at an event in Carlisle, Pa., on April 1, 1994. "If you don't tell us who the father is, you're not eligible for any welfare benefits, none, not even medical care. You tell us who the father is or you don't receive benefits."

So basically, Santorum wanted to have unwed single mothers reveal who the father was.  Of course now if they were raped or were being threatened by the father didn't even seem to enter into this morons mind.

Ironbite-so glad after this election he'll be a non-entity.

Well really just the ones we've nearly hunted to extinction anyways.

Quote
Rick Santorum accused his rivals Monday of having "a truly radical environmental agenda" and putting "critters above people."

“What we have seen under this administration is a truly radical environmental agenda,” Santorum said in response to a question at the Gulf Coast Energy Summit in Biloxi, Mississipi.

He also attacked Newt Gingrich, apparently a fan of wild animals, for supporting the Endangered Species Act.

"There are so many places that we put critters above people," Santorum said. "It’s a radical ideology that says we are here to serve the Earth instead of man having dominion over the Earth to serve him and to be a good steward of that Earth.”

The short-sightedness of this man is amazing.  Is he not aware that there is a certain balance and humanity has thrown that balance out of wack?  Or is he just that stupid?

Quote
saying that women who face such circumstances should "make the best out of a bad situation."

I WILL MURDER YOU YOU SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!  I WILL MURDER YOU UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT OF YOU!  EVER!

Ironbite-*goes off to the Angry Dimension*


My daughter was conceived in rape.  I have always been against abortion.  My daughter is now living with my rapist because the government determined that my having PTSD from being raped and tortured on a regular basis makes me an unfit parent but her sperm donor who raped and tortured me is a decent parent because he has a government job with good benefits. 

I do not regret having her.  She is very special.  She loves people.  If she survives this and gets away from him someday she has so much potential to do great things with her life. 

I am not even allowed to see her or talk to her anymore. 

I always wanted her no matter how she was conceived.  She will always be my baby. 
 
The government kept demanding that I say only wonderful things about her father.  There was nothing wonderful to say about him.  I chose instead not to talk about him.  The government demanded that I tell my daughter that she was conceived in love.  She had found out how she was conceived years ago and had adapted to it.  I had not told her.  I cannot pretend to really understand what it is like to know you were conceived in such a manner.  But I refused to lie to my daughter. 

The government demanded that I take 'responsibility' for the abuse he inflicted on me.  They acted as though it was just two people who couldn't get along instead of the horror that it was for me.   However, they have never once demanded that he endure any consequences for his actions.  No, all the consequences were placed on me. 

I was a child when he started abusing me.  I was a child!  A child being abused has to take responsibility for it??  What the?  How can it be the child's fault that a grown man decides to beat and rape her?

Rape victims who get pregnant and carry to term do in fact carry the risk of losing custody of the child to the rapist.  The government does not care about how the child was conceived.  The victim is victimized over and over again by the government.  The victim is punished for not wanting to be around her attacker.   Rape victims have even been court ordered to take the child to visit the 'father' in prison under threat of incarceration even while he was serving time for the rape itself!

The government is all about controlling people, especially women and children.  It's little wonder the government so often looks the other way when men beat and rape women. 

The United States is no better than many other countries where women are oppressed.  Ironic enough, many women who manage to achieve positions of power oppress others just as well as the men do.  One would think they would at least 'get it' but they do not. 

I raised my daughter different from how I was raised.  I was raised to be a submissive doormat.  Why?  Because I am female.  I was to obey adults without question (which is one of the reasons I was in the position to be raped and tortured in the first place).  My daughter was raised to have spunk and not take stuff off people.  Unfortunately, my family planted the seeds in her along the way to where she ended up being gullible and submissive without much question anyway.  I am hoping what I taught her wins out some day.  It is my fault if it doesn't.  I knew how my family was, but I kept hoping they would change.  I was so damn stupid.  My daughter at least is no where near as naive and submissive as I was growing up.  I guess at least I've given up on my family.  It is too late to matter, but at least I finally gave up on them. 

How opposed am I now to abortion?  I still am completely opposed; however, I do notice that many who are opposed to abortion are similar to the people who allowed me to be abused.  People knew he was doing those things to me and gave me reasons why it was my fault and why I should take the abuse.  How can someone possibly argue they hold the moral high ground when they will not only condone a child being raped and tortured but will blame the child for what happens to her?   I was only 16 when he started abusing me.   My daughter is almost the same age I was when this nightmare began.  They sent my girl to live with a child rapist. 

I view the left and right as two sides to the same driving force.  The issues are a facade to keep the people pitted against each other so they don't see what is really going on.  The driving force keeps the masses fooled into thinking there is really a change so that they won't realize that change is really still needed.  In the public eye the left and right fight.  Behind the scenes they gather for parties.  They plot and scheme to keep the regular people as controlled and appeased as possible.

Also, you were forced to carry the baby to term, and pay for it, and you're still against abortion? Why?

Also, while I do see quite a bit of sexism in the United States, the "government conspiracy" part of your post is giving me serious "what the futhark" vibes.

Whether or not a "person" exists to be at fault is what needs to be asked here. It is generally accepted that the baby's brain does not fully develop into a semi-conscious state until the third trimester, when abortion is outlawed anyway (except for birth defects and medical emergencies).

Abortion is not to punish the "baby." Where the hell did you get this idea?

It's a long story.  I had posted about it on the other site.  He was a government employee.  He was buddies with many cops, magistrates, etc.   I wasn't even allowed to press charges against him when it started.  They were like, 'I know Kenny.  He's a nice guy.  You're lucky to have him.'  The church blamed me and kept after me to 'repent' of my sin of fornication saying I could have stopped it if I wanted to.   I was subjected to much religious abuse over it.  I had been a virgin and was saving myself for marriage.  I never wanted to have sex with him in the first place.

My daughter is almost 16 now.  I raised her for 14 1/2 years.  The government took her from me and gave her to him.  I had never even abused her.  They kept saying something 'might' happen.   My daughter was angry at me for having moved her away from her friends.  I have no idea who made what false claims.  If my daughter really did say those things, she has since recanted because she kept telling people it didn't happen.  She told me she didn't say that stuff.  We had a messed up relationship at the time she was taken.  We had been burned out of our home at one point.  She was very angry at me for a few years.  She tried to kill herself.  I found out and stopped letting her hang out with her friends as much.  I had no idea what had influenced it.  When they first took her, I thought it was over the suicide attempt, but it wasn't.  Things kept hitting me right after another.  The government worker kept claiming I told her stuff that I never said.  (At the same time she kept saying I wasn't talking to her.  Which is it?)  He was contacted and given my address.  They immediately started working towards getting my daughter to agree to live with him.  I was never given a chance to get her back.  She was even begging to come home.  They refused to let her come home.

His visitation rights had been terminated when she was a baby because he was threatening to kill us. 

Why should I want my child killed?  I would rather kill him.  He's the one who harmed me.

I chose to carry my baby.  No one forced me to do so.  I will never regret that.  I endured much pressure from people to abort her throughout my pregnancy.  And it wasn't because I was raped.  I was the only one who cared about that.  It was because of race.  My daughter is bi-racial and most of my family wanted her aborted.  After she was born, I was pressured to put her up for adoption.  Why?  Because they said she needed to be in a black home.  My family didn't want a black child in the family.  I never cared about my daughter's ethnicity.  I refused to abandon her.  I raised her by myself with little to no support from anyone. 

I have seen the government do many things to people, mostly the poor.  The poor do not have the resources to fight back.  And movements like the Tea Party are okay with the poor not having rights protected.  They pitch a fit though if someone tampers with theirs.

I am against abortion.  Rapists instead should have no parental rights to the child.  I also believe that law enforcement should be forced to bring in an outside, neutral source to investigate abuse when the law enforcement is buddies with the accused perp.  No one should be immune to prosecution just because he is buddies with the ones overseeing the investigation.

SAN JUAN, March 14 (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum told Puerto Ricans on Wednesday they would have to make English their primary language if they want to pursue U.S. statehood, a statement at odds with the U.S. Constitution.

Santorum traveled to the U.S. territory to campaign ahead of the island's Republican primary election scheduled for Sunday, where he, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are vying for 20 delegates.

Puerto Ricans, who recognize both English and Spanish as their official languages, are scheduled to vote in November on a referendum to decide whether they want to pursue statehood or remain a self-governing U.S. commonwealth.

In an interview with El Vocero newspaper, Santorum said he supported Puerto Ricans' right to self-determination regarding the island's political status.

"We need to work together and determine what type of relationship we want to develop," he told the newspaper.

But Santorum said he did not support a state in which English was not the primary language.

"Like any other state, there has to be compliance with this and any other federal law," Santorum said. "And that is that English has to be the principal language. There are other states with more than one language such as Hawaii but to be a state of the United States, English has to be the principal language."

All well and good Rick but...there is no offical language of the United staes.  At all.  It's no where to be found in the Constitution.  So once again...YOU FAIL!

Quote
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has promised to initiate a war on porn if elected.

“America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking,” the former Pennsylvania senator wrote in a statement posted on his campaign website.

Santorum has chosen the porn industry as his latest target in his effort to be viewed as the most conservative candidate in the GOP primary, ahead of opponent Mitt Romney. He believes that current obscenity laws should be more stringently enforced.

“Current federal ‘obscenity’ laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier,” Santorum wrote in the statement, adding that these laws should be “vigorously enforced.”

Do I even have to say how bad an idea this is?  I mean do I even have to make mention of how dumb it is to go after the porn industry?  Probably one of the most profitable and richest industry sectors in American today?

How can a single nation suffer a pandemic, exactly? Indeed, if porn is a disease, it would be classified as endemic in America.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has promised to initiate a war on porn if elected.

“America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking,” the former Pennsylvania senator wrote in a statement posted on his campaign website.

Since when to GOP candidates care about women?  ::)

Slut shaming also promotes misogyny and violence against women.

HAHAHAHA no. You don't get to talk about misogyny, Rick. Not with your anti-choice, anti-birth control BS. And yes, it can contribute to distorted images of what people "should" look like and can be very violent, but that's not the fault of pornography, it's the fault of the pornographers who make it. It is possible to have feminist porn. Stop trying to appropriate feminism, it's not working.

"I don't care what the liberals say, I don't care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words.. Listen to me, If you don't love America, If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT. We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God's son Jesus Christ."

In a revival type speech, Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Rev. Dennis Terry introduced Family Research Council president Tony Perkins and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Christians, according to Rev. Terry, are the conscience of the state and even the key to turning the economy around. The pastor offered some pointed words about abortion, gay marriage, and prayer in schools, shouting about 'sexual perversion' and putting God back in Washington, D.C., as Senator Santorum was seen clapping, if not cheering, in the background.

I have no words.  I really don't.  This just shows where Santorum lies and what will happen if he wins.  The fact is, if Santorum wins, theocrats like this will in fact rule America and screw everyone else.

Apparently the president should not care about the unemployment rate.

Quote
(Reuters) - Republican White House hopeful Rick Santorum said on Monday he did not care about the U.S. unemployment rate, perhaps the nation's most closely watched economic indicator, despite being embroiled in a campaign largely focused on the still-sputtering economy.

"I don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. It doesn't matter to me. My campaign doesn't hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates," Santorum said during a campaign appearance in Illinois, which on Tuesday holds the next contest in the state-by-state battle for the Republican presidential nomination.

Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania known mainly for a strong religious conservatism, is battling Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the frontrunner in the race to oppose President Barack Obama in the November election.

So uh remeber when I said Santorum thinks he's the Republican Nom, even though he hasn't won yet?  Yeah he's already got plan for Obamacare (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/26/rick-santorum-mitt-romney-obamacare_n_1380210.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003)

Quote
WASHINGTON -- Rick Santorum stepped squarely into the national debate over President Obama's health care law on Monday, traveling to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to deliver a message: Mitt Romney can't get rid of Obamacare.

"He may say he wants to repeal Obamacare but he won't have the mandate from the course of this campaign to be able to win the argument, not just here in Congress but across the country," Santorum said. "I'll be making that argument throughout the course of our campaign. If we're successful it will be very clear where the American public is."

"That won't be the case with Governor Romney, because as you see, he's not here, he's not making the argument in this race," Santorum said, speaking to a throng of reporters, onlookers and pro-Obamacare activists who at times tried to shout him down.

I'm trying to try to figure out why Santorum keeps thinking he's going to get the nom and the only way I figure is he's going with a Bush-like mentality and he's going to get the nomination regardless of how many delegates he doesn't have.

Ironbite-this guy is crazy and the sooner we get him into the list of failed candidates the better.

Ironbite-this guy is crazy and the sooner we get him into the list of failed candidates the better.

What are you talking about? He must stay in! He's got to keep going until every last state has voted! Fuck, I want to campaign for him just to make sure he stays in until all 50 states have their say!

Why is this, you ask?

Because the longer he stays in, the longer the primaries will drag on. Which means more time for Frothy and Etch-A-Sketch to say and do mind-numbingly stupid things. And which means less time between the Primaries and the General Election.

And the greater the chance that the American people's goldfish-like memory won't fizzle out and leave them unable to remember just how loony the Republicans have gotten by the time they get to the voting booths.

Post by: QueenofHearts on March 26, 2012, 06:07:24 pm
Not only the idea of a dragged out primary season; the idea of a Santorum ticket makes me smile (and frown). If he wins the nomination, I will admit the American people are mind-numbingly stupid and may vote for Captain Butt-Froth. However, the fact that he'd win the GOP nomination and is running for president would make him the de facto leader of the Republican party. With the GOP branded as the "Santorum-wants-to-control-your-uterus" party, it would make it hard for Republicans to win/hold onto seats in the House and Senate. Its also still possible he wins the nomination (especially if Gingrich drops out and it goes to a brokered convention).

Unrelated to Santorum story, but it's pretty stupid, so I wanted to share it. It's scary, but no one died, thankfully.

A woman my mother works with decided to buy guns for her 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter for Christmas. Real guns. I think she bought two rifles. This was just weeks after the woman mentioned her son was grounded for intentionally shooting his sister with his BB gun. Anyway, they went and got the guns from someone the husband knows. They tested the guns out before buying them, so they had bullets in them. The idiot parents put the kids in the back of the car with the loaded rifles. As they were driving down the road, they heard a shot from the backseat. They were afraid to turn around for a moment, but finally looked. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the little girl had pulled the trigger and shot out the back window.

Speaking as someone who works on a paintball field, there's no way kids that age should have paintball guns either. They can be just as dangerous as a real firearm in the wrong hands, and I'm sure BB guns/airguns aren't far behind either.

Here in New Zealand at least, paintball markers are almost as restricted as guns; you need to be either over 16 and hold a license, or over 18 years old. If you buy one for your kid under the pretence of getting it for yourself, you can face some pretty hefty penalties.

As a someone who love paintball, I was about to say that, but you beat me to it. One good thing is that .68 inch ball bearings aren't terribly common. I hate it when someone thinks it's ok to use a regular bb gun for air soft. Or someone that thinks airsoft is a no more dangerous than a nerf gun.

This is a nerf gun with an awesome paint job.

Honestly, if we got into a nerf gun tournament or nerf gun tag or something, I'd gladly play :D

Even though I'm fat and out of shape, that'd still be fun.

A woman my mother works with decided to buy guns for her 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter for Christmas. Real guns. I think she bought two rifles. This was just weeks after the woman mentioned her son was grounded for intentionally shooting his sister with his BB gun. Anyway, they went and got the guns from someone the husband knows. They tested the guns out before buying them, so they had bullets in them. The idiot parents put the kids in the back of the car with the loaded rifles. As they were driving down the road, they heard a shot from the backseat. They were afraid to turn around for a moment, but finally looked. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the little girl had pulled the trigger and shot out the back window.

Oh my God. Someone take these kids away from this dumb bitch.

Somehow this suits for a christian. Parents recruit their children at even a younger age in their respictive christian sects.

It fits.
