Santorum's Gifts From God
What kind of woman supports Rick Santorum?
I've always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created— in the sense of rape—but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you.
We don't know, so we had to imagine. Rick is still seen by some as a promising candidate, supportable by right wing fundamentalist leaders. This enthusiasm is only dampened by the fact that nobody outside of right wing fundamentalist leaders particularly gives a flying fuck about Rick Santorum.
But as his campaign flounders awkwardly along like—Oh, I dunno—a man-on-dog sexual pairing trying to jog mid-tryst, it's a good time to be reminded: There are piggish elements within our body politic who will always, always, always abuse women's rights for political gain. And that Rick Santorum's "google problem" was never just Dan Savage's brilliant gag, it has always been the things that he actually says and does.
Frothy lube may stain your futon, but Santorum stains the American political landscape—until such time as his well-established inability to win actual votes brings the Santorum slide to a messy end.



entertaining video and enlightening post.
A miracle perhaps, but one would also say that Rick Santorum's "google problem" is just another gift from God!
You're too kind. And yes, it does seem like a big frothy bit of heaven.
I hope losing is traumatic enough for him to come out of the closet. It would explain so many things.
He's had to suspend his campaign because his kid is sick. Trisomy baby or some such with complications. At any rate, I hope the kid's alright.

So, she could have competed on equal footing with Bush Jr. if she had been a lot older?
This kid might have some choice words for god about this "gift" if she survives to adulthood. And by 'god' I mean her parents.
Santorum's gift from god is the ability to walk upright.Very surprised by that.
It would seem like he'd be down slithering in the mud like, say, a newt.

And I applaud it.
Well done, well done.
I am a liberal but I am against abortion. But I am pro choice does this make any sense

It means you believe in keeping out of other people's business. Very commendable, that.

Nobody likes abortion. It's traumatic and disheartening. But, so is cancer. But, It's also necessary, sometimes. And, those times should only be decided by a woman and her doctor. Not some rock-brained politician or religious fanatic. I'm a progressive, but, I don't like abortion, either. However, if a woman decides she needs one, it's none of my business.
Pro choice doesn't mean FOR abortion: it means letting women make their own choices about their health.
It makes perfect sense. I feel the same way. I would consider abortion the last choice in most situations. There are many other options. However, I definitely believe it should be legal. Especially when you consider the right/wrong wing also wants to do away with contraception. They don't believe in sex education or treatment for HPV. In other words, if you have sex (sin) then you should suffer.
Mainly, they hate women to the point that they want to deny women medical treatment. I guess they just want all of us to die, especially poor women. I guess there are no republican women in that group. Since Congress is comprised for the most part of rich, old, white males we basically have no represen-tation. When men are able to give birth then they will have a right to have an opinion on the subject.

Inquiring (or sick) minds want to know:
- if the rapist is caught, can he use the affirmative defense of God made me do it?
- can the pregnant rape victim sue Jesus for child support?

So tell me, a la cart christian Rick, why is it then that you cannot accept homosexuals as a "gift of human life," that " God has given" the world?

I wish I'd thought of that comment...
've always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created— in the sense of rape—but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. Maybe Daddy?
It will be Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum for the presidential republican ticket
I heard someone describe Congress as a bunch of prostitutes. That statement is slanderous to all prostitutes and should be stricken from the record.
Mary, mother of Jesus, raped by an extraterrestrial? Some dude with wings claiming "God told him to do it?"
Well, if it's good enough for Mother Mary then I guess we'd all better STFU!
Open those prison doors and let those serial killers and rapists and pedophiles go free. Isn't prison, then, a form of forced contraception!?
Hey, don't laugh, this twisted logic isn't far from what's in the Christofascist playbook!

as a result of a violent sexual crime.
If God has anything with causing the pregnancy then God has to stand as the cause of the rape and is actively causing violence and misery to women and to their unwanted children.
Not forgetting that many of those children are the result of incest which my Bible says is against God's laws, then God stands against his own dicta, in order to protect the rapist.
So explain that one rape supporters of Church.
