Santorum’s vision

By Steve Benen

Rick Santorum was asked last night about the 1,800 same-sex couples who are married in New Hampshire, and what would happen to them if he succeeds in adding anti-gay amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He replied:

“If we have a — if the Constitution says marriage is between a man and a woman, then marriage is between a man and a woman. And — and, therefore, that’s what marriage is and — and would be in this country. And those who are not men and women who are married are — would not be married. That’s what the Constitution would say.”

So, in this case, a “pro-family” candidate wants to use the Constitution to break up families, on purpose. Americans who are legally married would be told, “Sorry, the government has decided you’re not married anymore.”

1. Its so funny that the religious right nutjobs who run for office don't seem to mind government

in your business when it comes to the bedroom. Isn't that just wonder what that group? Yet I wonder how many of them in a dark room some where looking at porn on their computers or cheating on their wives.

2. And he said that would make adoption by same-sex couples moot

Does he mean that since same-sex couples can't be married that they would be disqualified from adopting children? He didn't elaborate on that in his answer to the debate question.
