) State treasurer Bob Casey, Sen. Rick Santorum's leading Democratic challenger, told an audience at an event sponsored by a gay rights organization that if elected he would fight discrimination "wherever I find it."

Casey, who supports laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, said he provides a contrast to the conservative Santorum, the No. 3 Senate Republican who has frequently earned the ire of gay rights groups for his opposition to gay marriage.

"I think it's time we had a senator who wasn't pushing a narrow, intolerant ideology that says `I'm right, you're wrong ... and you don't know better,'" Casey said.

Casey received a standing ovation when he was introduced and drew applause throughout his 16-minute speech to an audience of about 600 people at a black-tie gala put on by the Human Rights Campaign, one of the largest national gay rights groups.

2. How in the fuck could you vote for a nazi like "Scalito"?

3. I couldn't...and I don't understand this "we have to play nice"

mentality of the Dems. The Repukes haven't and everyone complains, but they still have control of Congress.

4. Thank you, my sentiments exactly!

5. if you would vote for alito but back anti-discrimination laws,

i guess that leaves me confused.

cause if those anti-discrimination laws go before the supremes and are over turned then i guess no one can blame you?

6. You know dwickham...."Anti-Gay Santorum"

is actually redundant!

It's just like when referring to Hitler, one doesn't need to say "Pro-Nazi Hitler." Everyone knows he was a Nazi....

Of course, I'm just being sarcastic and giving you a hard time. I know you understand my point! HAHAHA ;)
