Rick Santorum - Stuck in 1985

Um, Black Sabbath is the opposite of Satanic.

Hellfire-and-brimstone preachers use "satanic imagery" all the time too, you know...

"Rick Santorum tried to defy the metal. He too failed as he was smote to the ground!"

Just remember that at the core of every Jesus lies a core of cold, hard metal!

I heard Obama isn't even a U.S. Citizen!

That is a scary thought. I really with the religious right would just splinter off into their own party or something already.

Sanotrum, and any republican with the hubris to assume that tea party members are republicans do so at their own peril.

They're going to get a cold shower when that section of the electorate abandoms them for running their mouth on social issues the Tea Party Movement couldn't care less about.

given his history with the Romans, i don't think JC would be walking around giving people an Italian curse like that. unless he was doing it ironically, in which case he's just another hipster d-bag...

I wonder if Ol' Frothy knows that Tom Araya of Slayer is a Catholic? And that Slayer even wrote a song based on an anti-abortion film, "Silent Scream?" My guess is his reaction would look something like this:

This is not a bad thing. It could actually help the republicans jettison the hard right and return to more centrist policies

I'd be significantly more interested in real investigative information on this candidate than personal attacks and links to ridiculous and absurd parody.

Every time I hear he's "waaay out there", I see huge quantities of misinformation.

It really doesn't bother me a bit that lots of people don't like him. I'm OK with that. But the internet appears to be completely flooded with nothing more than info-blasts of misinformation and bias.

FTFY............

And, no, I don't like Santorum's politics on most issues.

Blogs are editorials, not news. That's the whole problem - anyone can write a blog, and for some reason people seem to think everything they read on the Internet is true. This story may or may not contain some facts, but the writer says this about their blog: I don’t claim to have any real answers, but I do have a nearly constant stream of questions that I’d like to better understand. There will be some inconsistencies, oversimplifications and illogical arguments in the posts ahead, please understand that they come in the effort to more clearly comprehend what the meaning of this experience of being that I (and I assume others) are having.

Whoops. I forgot my sarcasm font.

well.. that's just politics. That is what it has devolved into over the years.

In reply to novaderrik:

Nah, I was given to understand by his disciples Jesus was a proponent of turning the other cheek.

i saw an interview with Tom Araya where he was asked about being a devout Catholic and doing what he does- he said he writes what pays the best, and that he goes to confessional a lot- then he made a joke about how the priest usually has worse things that he needs to confess to. or maybe Kerry King chimed in with that joke.. it's been a while- i think it was in that Heavy Metal documentary that came out a couple of years ago.

And such is the Political Governance in Duhmerica , Wide open, Bare naked , and completely deserving of what it gets. Other people die for what we take for granted.

Good (true) Vice article on Rick Santorum. This quote pretty much sums the guy up:

Rick's got a lot of things to recommend him. Liberals mainly know him as the feces-and-ass-lube guy, who brought his dead baby home for a sleepover, dresses his daughter in clothing that matches dolls and has a son who looks like he'll go on to a fine career of standing in the azaleas in people's front yards and determinedly masturbating. But while Newt plays well to the paranoid, victimized poor GOP, and Mitt does great numbers among the wealthy, Rick’s culture-war populism is appealing to rich and poor alike, as long as they hate gays and Iran.

Santorum says, in all seriousness, “One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country…. 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.”

Gotta love those small gov't republicans that can't get themselves out everyone's bedrooms......

I don't see that as an issue of a Republican who won't keep out of people's bedrooms. I see it as a Catholic who is true to their beliefs. I may disagree with his opinion, but I respect it.

No, it's much worse with this guy.

I'm really good at finding both sides to most any person or subject on the internet. It's different for Santorum, and honestly, looks like deep religious bias.

I lived in PA when he got into politics. That's like 30 years ago. That's the last time I heard any balanced info on him.

Ponderous how any woman would vote for someone who believes this.

Imagine if a woman in gov't tried to dictate what men should and shouldn't with their genitals.

I see both as a huge issue of two groups who have no berkeleying business at all wondering what happens in my bedroom in the first place trying to control what happens in my bedroom.

That isn't to be respected, it is to be reviled. Keep religion away from me and I'll do the same for you.
