10 Completely Vile Things Rick Santorum Has Said

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

I've listed the first three. More at the link.

Former Republican senator and known right-wing extremist Rick Santorum is officially running for president again, and this time around he's trying to be a voice for America's "working families." That might sound downright wholesome to someone who doesn't know what he actually believes. Here are some of the White House hopeful's most revealing comments from over the years:

1. On same-sex marriage, 2004: "This is an issue just like 9/11. We didn't decide we wanted to fight the war on terrorism because we wanted to. It was brought to us. And if not now, when? When the supreme courts in all the other states have succumbed to the Massachusetts version of the law?"

2. On sex between gay people, 2003: "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right

3.. On birth control and having sex for pleasure, 2011: "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, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, ‘Well, that's OK. Contraception's OK.'

It's not OK because it's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. They're supposed to be within marriage, they are supposed to be for purposes that are, yes, conjugal, but. . .also procreative. That's the perfect way that a sexual union should happen. We take any part of that out, we diminish the act. And if you can take one part out that's not for purposes of procreation, that's not one of the reasons, then you diminish this very very special bond between men and women, so why can't you take other parts of that out? And all of a sudden, it becomes deconstructed to the point where it's simply pleasure...This is special, and it needs to be seen as special."

1. on the very small plus sign he did not try and excuse Josh Duggar

2. Actually I think he isn't far from the truth regarding Planned Parenthood.

I've read many different accounts of the life of Margaret Sanger. There have been many accounts that try to prop up her legacy.

It seems obvious to me that she was a racist & eugenicist.

4. I'm pretty sure...

that a list of nice things Santorum has said would be much shorter.
