On the Catholic Church’s abuse scandals: “Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political, and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.”
On same sex marriage and bestiality: “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...”
On the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s decision to approve same sex marriage: “This is an issue just like 9/11. We didn't decide we wanted to fight the war on terrorism because we wanted to. It was brought to us. And if not now, when? When the supreme courts in all the other states have succumbed to the Massachusetts version of the law?”
On the link between same sex marriage and national security: “I would argue that the future of America hangs in the balance, because the future of the family hangs in the balance. Isn't that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?”
On the war in Iraq: “As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It's being drawn to Iraq. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the eye to come back to the United States.”
On contraception: “Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
On the Affordable Care Act: “I would tell you that my first priority as a president of the United States is to repeal Barack Obama's healthcare plan. I think it's the most dangerous piece of legislation, well, in many generations. It is the reason that I'm running for office. Because I believe Obamacare is a game changer. I believe Obamacare will rob America, the best way I can put it is, rob America of its soul.”
On President Obama’s pro-choice stance: “I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say ‘now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.’”
On global warming: “I believe the earth gets warmer, and I also believe the earth gets cooler, and I think history points out that it does that and that the idea that man through the production of CO2, which is a trace gas in the atmosphere and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas, is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all of the other factors, El Niño, La Niña, sunspots, you know, moisture in the air.”

Santorum is not a bad guy.

You trying to make him look bad with these quotes?

I don't see anything that bad.

[rkelly110]

The guy shoots from the hip. You know what happens when you do that? You miss the mark.
Every one of those comments misses the mark. Get him out already, us PA guys can't stand
him. (well, me anyway)

Looney tunes.

ya right.....here's another tidbit......ur daughter gets raped and SHE MUST have the rapist's child.

[dante1]

He is one joke and a complete asshole. Period.

[antifoil]

Asked by CNN's Piers Morgan what he would do if his own daughter approached him, begging for an abortion after having been raped, Santorum explained that he would counsel her to "accept this horribly created" baby, because it was still a gift from God, even if given in a "broken" way.



the guy is a genius. he thinks rapist are doing God's work running around creating blessing and giving women gifts.

rapist are heroes.

Wow. raped women wouldn't be allowed to have an abortion if it was up to him.

Well, if he gets elected, I'm getting into the coat-hanger business.

[d2bets]

Santorum's wife let her fetus die to save her life. If Santorum himself had his way, women wouldn't fully have such choices.

Home / George Carlin / Abortion

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to **** in the first place? Boy these conservatives are really something aren't they? they're all in favour of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn but once you're born you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no daycare, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're pre-born you're fine. If you're preschool you're ******. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life. Pro-life. These people aren't pro-life they're killing doctors. What kind of pro-life is that? What they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? they're anti-woman. Simple as it gets. Anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a broodmare for the state. Pro-life. You don't see many of these white anti-abortion women volunteering to have any black fetuses transplanted into their uterus's do you? No you don't see them adopting a whole lot of crack babies do you? No that might be something Christ would do.

I was trying to find out more about his commencement address at my college graduation and I found this and it's very similar to what I remember.

True story: Back in 1999 or so, I think, my sister graduated from York College in central PA, and Rick Santorum was the guest speaker. I was not very interested in politics back then, so I had no idea who he was, I just thought it was neat that a US Senator was speaking.

I will never forget him actually saying to these graduating kids, to "remember: in life, it's not important that you're happy or successful, it's important that you make the person you work for happy and successful and, in time, you may have people working for you who will go out of their way to make you happy and successful."

He was booed relentlessly and then he scolded the crowd, telling them they were out of line and, "today was about the children."

That was the first time I was introduced to Senator Rick Santorum.

[rkelly110]

Good for them to boo him relentlessly. He would be an absolute cancer to America.

[antifoil]

hey i wasn't knocking santorum.

i have had a long standing tradition of being pro rapist. i have always held the view they are running around spreading God's will. it is about time they get recognize for their achievements. i only get upset when a rapist uses a condom because the bible is against using contraception.

[falconticket]

Wow you guys are sik fuks. Grow up

[BWest]

Santorum could not keep his Senate seat in Penna. Penna voters typically go for social conservatives. Rick Santorum had a hard time keeping all his bullshit straight. By the time PA voters kicked his sorry ass out of office, he had church ladies vomiting at the mention of his name. Rick is the western version of an islamic fundamentalist crackpot and equally dangerous.

[andywend]

A thread stuffed with pathetic liberal failures who are so inept, they're not qualified to shine the shoes of the guy they are bashing.

Santorum does NOT support abortion and the same can be said about most republicans.

Liberal democrats were whining and screeching in 2000 that if republicans gain total control, then Roe v Wade was going to be overturned. The republicans had total power for 6 full years and the subject of overturning Roe v Wade NEVER came up because the republicans know the majority of America supports a woman's right to choose.

Since 1980, the democrats had total power for 4 years (the first time in 1993/1994 with the 2nd time being 2009/2010). They tried to socialize our medical care system the first time under Clinton and they succeeded the 2nd time under Obama even though they know full well that the majority of Americans oppose a socialized medical care system.

ONE BIG DIFFERENCE between republicans and democrats:
Republicans don't try to shove what they believe down the throats of Americans the way democrats do.

The vast majority of Europe is falling apart at the seams due to these disgusting liberal socialists and Obama and company are trying to do the same to the U.S.

Liberal democrats are a far bigger threat to the United States of America than any terrorist group.

[andywend]

The liberal democratic party:

SUPPORTS late-term (partial birth) abortions even if its solely a matter of choice.
OPPOSES the death penalty no matter how heinous the criminal.

Crush a baby's skull because of convenience = Thumbs up from the democratic party
Applying the death penalty to a man who has raped and mutiliated 100's of little girls = Democrats across the nation protest it

How can you possibly have a rational conversation with idiots who think like this?

Are you ignorant, or do you just pretend to be? Congress/President cannot overturn a SC decision. If there was "whining and screeching", it wasn't because of what Congress might do, but rather that a Republican Prez would attempt to stack the SC with justices who would be predisposed to doing just that. Bush moved the court in that direction, but came up 1 justice or 2 short at this point.

[andywend]

If the republicans wanted to really push the issue of overturning Roe v Wade, they had every opportunity to do so and they had the numbers in the Supreme Court under Bush (Admittedly, justice Kennedy would have been the wildcard).

D2bets, by SBR point standards, you are in the top 1% with over 20,000 SBR points in your account.

You are a die-hard liberal democrat and now you have the opportunity to spread your SBR point wealth around to those less fortunate and back up your liberal beliefs with some real action.

I have always known that liberal democrats like yourself believe in transferring wealth around AS LONG AS ITS NOT YOUR WEALTH being transferred.

Now you have the chance to prove me wrong:

STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND GIVE AWAY YOUR SBR POINTS TO THOSE IN NEED.

This is not a case of personal benefit on my end as I DO NOT WANT THEM. However, other posters certainly would.

Will D2bets step up to the plate and do the liberal compassionate thing and spread his 20,000+ SBR point balance around? He certainly doesn't need all those points and its not fair that he has so many while so many other individuals in the SBR forum have so few (pulled straight from the democratic party handbook).

ITS TIME FOR D2BETS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND BACK UP THOSE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC BELIEFS WITH ACTION.

Majority in U.S. Favors Healthcare Reform This Year

Controlling costs a higher priority than expanding coverage

by Jeffrey M. Jones



PRINCETON, NJ -- As U.S. House leaders unveil a plan to reform the U.S. healthcare system, a USA Today/Gallup poll finds 56% of Americans in favor and 33% opposed to Congress' passing major healthcare reform legislation this year. Support for healthcare reform before the end of the year is sharply split along party lines, with 79% of Democrats in favor, compared with only 23% of Republicans.

Way to change the subject.

When you're proven wrong on all counts, resort to an ad hominem attack and change the subject. You should run for office.

[andywend]

I wasn't proven wrong on any count. Its easy to come up with a poll to back any claim you want to make. Here's my poll indicating that the majority of Americans OPPOSED the ObamaCare health reform legislation:

From the New York Times no less:
CBS/New York Times poll finds that 49 percent of Americans oppose Obamacare and just 37 percent support it.

"We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it"-- Nancy Pelosi

Well, people are starting to realize what is in it and how much it truly costs and guess what? Opposition is growing, support dwindling.

http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blog...tinues-to.html

How about another one from the ultra-liberal CNN:

A new CNN Opinion Research poll, conducted over the weekend as the House debated Obamacare, finds that 59 percent of Americans now stand opposed to the health care legislation in Congress. Just 39 percent of the poll’s 1,030 respondents said they favored the bill.

http://blog.heritage.org/2010/03/22/...ose-obamacare/

Thank you sir, may I have another:

Gallup’s headline is “46% Favor, 40% Oppose Repealing Healthcare Law,” but I think they’re overlooking the bigger news.

http://www.nationalreview.com/campai...dline-suggests

By simply Googling - "Polls opposing ObamaCare" - I came up with 411,000 results and these were the top 3.

When you're proven wrong on all counts,

Now back to the issue at hand:
D2Bets has posted time and time again that he supports the democratic party belief of transferring wealth from those that have to those that have not.

D2Bets has over 20,000 SBR points while most posters have less than 100. Its time for D2Bets to put his money where his mouth is and transfer those points to other posters in need.

Will D2Bets ever do so? Of course not, because that would involve transferring HIS WEALTH as opposed to someone else's.

[d2bets]

Americans long favored medical care reform. While Republicans were moderately successful in efforts to stir up fear after the fact, it is false to say that a majority of Americans opposed efforts to fundamentally reform the health care system.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...avorable_N.htm
WASHINGTON — More Americans now favor than oppose the health care overhaul that President Obama signed into law Tuesday, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds — a notable turnaround from surveys before the vote that showed a plurality against the legislation.
By 49%-40%, those polled say it was "a good thing" rather than a bad one that Congress passed the bill. Half describe their reaction in positive terms — as "enthusiastic" or "pleased" — while about four in 10 describe it in negative ways, as "disappointed" or "angry."


http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/he...cy/21poll.html
Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind one of the most contentious proposals Congress is considering, a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_..._United_States

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll in October 2003,[40][41] 62% of respondents preferred "a universal health insurance program, in which everybody is covered under a program like Medicare that's run by the government and financed by taxpayers," compared to 32% who preferred the current system, in which most people get their health insurance from employers. Of the 62% of people who support universal heath care, 56% would still support a universal health insurance program even if it limited their own choice of doctors, and 63% would still support it even if it meant there were waiting lists for some non-emergency treatments.


Popular opinion

Statistician Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight reviewed various measures of public support for a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, the "public option", in June 2009. The sampled poll results varied between 40% to 83% in support of a government-provided insurance option, with most of the sampled polls showing between 65% and 76% support.,[1] A New York Times/CBS News poll in June 2009 found that Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind a government-run insurance plan. It stated that people think the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector.

[andywend]

As I said, you can find a poll to support your position on just about anything.

Remember you were the one who said I was proven wrong by posting a worthless poll.

D2Bets, are you going to back up your liberal democratic beliefs with some action and transfer some of your huge stack of 20K+ SBR points to other people in need? If you are unwilling to share your SBR points that have only a very nominal value, how can you possibly believe its fair for democrats to try and force the wealthy into sharing actual money?

This kind of hypocrisy is the major reason why I could NEVER support the democratic party as you people have no problem supporting the transfer of wealth of other people's money but NOT your own.

[antifoil]

the problem with the death penalty is innocent people have been on death row. once this happens the death penalty should be abolished.

the value of putting truly guilty people to death for worthy crimes is not worth the risk of killing someone innocent. it is similar to why the justice system is set up so casey anthony and o.j. simpson can be found not guilty. it is better that guilty people walk than innocent people go to jail.

you are looking at the problem wrong.


but none of that matters in this thread you guys need to find another thread to post your propaganda. this thread is about how awesome santorum is. if you aren't talking about santorum you are off subject.

We already had this argument in another thread. Unlike tax dollars, my points are not going to feed and shelter the aged, infirm and disabled in society, or provide life-saving health care to those who can't afford it.

Why do Republicans rely on inane analogies?
