Santorum Condemns Obama's Gay Marriage Endorsement: 'The Charade is Now Over!'

Failed GOP candidate Rick Santorum issued a frothy condemnation of Obama's marriage equality endorsement today:

"The announcement today by President Obama should come as no surprise to the American public. President Obama has consistently fought against protecting the institution of marriage from radical social engineering at both the state and federal level. The President recently opposed the North Carolina constitutional amendment and, of course, he refused to defend President Clinton's Defense of Marriage Act before the U.S. Supreme court. The charade is now over, no doubt an attempt to galvanize his core hard left supporters in advance of the November election.

Thankfully the American public, when it has had an opportunity to consider the real world consequences of such a fundamental change to our society, has consistently voted for maintaining one man one woman marriage — the basic building block of our society. I will continue to fight to make sure that the cultural elites don't further undermine the institution that gives the best opportunity for healthy, happy children and a just and prosperous society."

I think he's just the kind of man that some people might want to get behind.

First syllable... Sounds like... Driving?...car?...getting out of car?... Fuel? Pump? Gas?

Gas! First syllable sounds like gas!

Second syllable...

Dig? Shovel? Ground? Hole?

Second syllable is "hole"!

he was even too right wing for the rabid right wing primary republican voters.

People with his religious attitudes are fast becoming living fossils.
