Santorum: "Sex isn't a real problem for me."

[NACBA]

Q. If you run [for the White House], lots of people are going to shriek about sex, Christianity and accuse you of being a wild-eyed social conservative. And that’ll shape the willingness of younger voters, urban voters, upper-income voters to pull the lever for you. What are you going to tell these guys?

I’ve spoken on a lot of college campuses and a lot of high schools, and [I've got] seven kids, so obviously sex isn’t a real problem for me — and so I would say that if you talk to young people, you know what they’re looking for? Someone who tells them the truth. No young person expects you to agree with them. Heck, they’re not even sure where they are on a lot of issues.

So ... young people are looking for truth-tellers with whom they don't expect to agree?

I'm really glad my life doesn't depend on understanding what the hell this asshole is jabbering about - 'coz I'd be a dead man if it did ...

Hell I'm older than Frothy and I don't agree with or even understand a lot of his political philosophies....

So it isn't a youngster thing.

Got it - he has no problem finding "partners" and does not need to resort to volunteering to help run the boys choir...

That's not what she said.

Well, that's one headline I didn't really need to read today.

There's a Wikipedia page that sums them up pretty well.

Can't argue with that one.

It's my experience that Rick doesn't understand his own religion well enough to be a good Theocrat.

I'm impressed that Frothy was ever elected to office. Was he like this back in PA?

F# A$ (infinity). Well, I'll be damned. Not the type of avatar I expected to see on RPF.

This. Genuine Christian theocracy is more like Gary North or RJ Rushdoony. Santorum is just a neoconservative with external religous trappings.

The thing I hate most about that ad is how when people say "politics is like professional wrestling" they don't mean that the Democrats and Republicans are always fighting each other, it means the whole thing including the fighting is pretty much staged.. and this ad completely obfuscates that entire message. Another guy who is really good at doing crap like this is Huckabee.

 

[Spikender]

I'll give Rick the benefit of the doubt and take his word that sex isn't a real problem with him.

Too bad being mentally insane is.
