I'm not sure which statement is "whacked out" but here's one.


In an interview with Piers Morgan, Santorum shared his views on rape, abortion, and doctors who would be performing the operation. In terms of abortion he believes it should be uniformly illegal, and that the doctors who perform them should be criminally charged. Furthering the whole idea, he advocates that those who have been raped should "accept this horribly created pregnancy "because it's "a gift in a very broken way" from God and that at the end of the day, the victim should just "make the best out of a bad situation."


Rick Santorum has no problem with the concept that legislating how people should live their lives is appropriate. Even if those people don't cost society a dime. If Santorum wants to go down the road of legislating lifestyles why should he not be judged in the same way? Why should we, as taxpayers, have to pay for his lifestyle.


I have no doubt it is easier to have 8 kids when someone else is paying for their healthcare. He doesn't have to "make the best of a bad situation" at all. Someone else, the taxpayer, picks up the tab.


I think I'll look up Santorum's view that citizens have no right to privacy under the Constitution next.


That's pretty "whacked out" too.

"[The] right to privacy…doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution." –Rick Santorum on the right to privacy

"To the Founders, these God-given truths -- that 'all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights' -- are no more open to discuss or debate than the laws of gravity. They are simply there, part of the created order. And because they are divinely sanctioned, it followed that even if a wicked and depraved majority tried to subvert them in the name of 'democracy,' the moral minority would be obliged to resist the majority's wishes in the name of moral truth." -Rick Santorum at "The Necessity of Truth", Heritage Lecture No. 643, August 6, 1999, given at The Heritage Foundation's Conference on Religion and Political Leadership.

• "The notion that college education is a cost-effective way to help poor, low-skill unmarried mothers with high school diplomas or GED's move up the economic ladder is just wrong."

• "The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire."

"Whacked out statements" cont.



Across the country, Republican governors arepushing policies that mandate drug-testing for all welfare recipients and marginalize low-income Americans in the process. Now, the latest GOP presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich is trying that idea on the national stage. When asked by Yahoo News’ Chris Moody for his thoughts on how to reform the U.S.’s failed war on drugs, Gingrich declared that “we need to consider taking more explicit steps to make it expensive to be a drug user.” His first and foremost step? Drug test Americans “before you get any kind of federal aid“:


Before drug testing welfare recipients was ruled unconstitutional, the positive rates for those tested were below the positive rates for the general population.

Rick Santorum's allies are going up on the air today in Missouri with a new television ad touting him as the "one principled" Republican to stop President Barack Obama.

The ad, which is sponsored by the Red, White & Blue fund, a Super PAC supporting Mr. Santorum's bid, is running in the Springfield market ahead of the state's non-binding primary on Tuesday.

The 30-second spot comes as the former Pennsylvania senator makes a concerted push to re-establish himself as the conservative alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney.


In an article titled "Rick Santorum for President," conservative authoress Michelle Malkin throws her support behind the former Pennsylvania senator.


A group of conservative activists decided Saturday to throw its support behind Rick Santorum in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination.

Tony Perkins[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important] , the president of the Family Research Council and a spokesman for the group of 150 activists, said that a "strong consensus" emerged for the former Pennsylvania senator after a three-ballot process.

DALLAS - Local evangelical leaders think Rick Santorum is the best candidate to stop Mitt Romney's nomination.

[color=#555555]A super PAC supporting Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has received a large boost from a Wyoming billionaire, putting outside spending groups supporting the former Pennsylvania senator in competition with groups supporting rival candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

The Center for Public Integrity reports that Foster Friess has already put $537,000 into the Santorum super PAC “Red White and Blue Fund,” and has now pledged to give up to an additional half-million dollars in matching funds to whatever is pledged by 5,000 “sportsmen” he has recently reached out to.

Are you paying attention to any of them or are you just voting whoever the republicans run because he's not Obama?

(Reuters) - Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum claimed a surge of momentum and fundraising on Wednesday, a day after his shocking sweep of nominating contests in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri that dealt a blow to front-runner Mitt Romney.

[canaller]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum has surged into a virtual tie in opinion polls with Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, setting up a tough fight in the party's primary in Michigan on Feb 28.

Picking up support from voters aligned with the conservative Tea Party movement and white Christian evangelicals, Santorum rose rapidly to edge 2 percentage points ahead of Romney in a national poll released by the Pew Research Center on Monday.

Santorum, a social conservative, also came within 2 percentage points of Romney in a national Gallup poll, and was ahead by 15 percentage points in Michigan, where Romney was born and has been expected to do well.

I love the internet.

The first Google result for Santorum has been something not so nice for many years now.

Now it's been done to Romney.

It seems the republicans are not tech savvy enough to solve the problem.
