In reply to the discussion: Santorum regrets 'throw up' response to Kennedy speech [View all]raouldukelives
(5,178 posts)63. It's like they've never even opened the book
They just know the masses will push the pedal and get the treat when they have some Frank Luntz protege whip up a Jesus laced speech for them. The only interest they have in Christ or the Constitution for that matter is as a means to an end.
"Sadly, they don't recognize that THEY and those they admire are the very ones whom Jesus threw out of the Temple."
If America ever saw a candidate who truly embodied the teachings of Christ that person would be vilified, scorned and destroyed by the media and mocked by other politicians for being an enemy of Wall St and a terrorist sympathizer. IMHO of course.

He fully backed it because he was too stupid to understand Kennedy's remarks.
