Yet another example of the GOP doing their best to alienate average Americans. 

“Get back in the kitchen!” -Santorum (AKA Frothy)

We would have also respected Karen’s decision if she had decided to settle down with that abortion doctor who was 40 years her senior, and instead had his baby.

Next year the Republicans will call the women sexist because 90% of the female vote is probably going to Obama, unless they nominate Mitt in which case the Republicans will have to concede all their talking points to Obama. Bad year to vote for a Republican presidential candidate.

He just threw his wife under his campaign bus. I doubt he even read the book let alone wrote it. He is widely acknowledged as the stupidest guy who ever served in Congress, and that is coming from his own party.   He just proved it again.

hahahaha …. he didn’t write THAT part of the book his, wife did.  What a weasel!

*Shakes head* what is wrong with the current GOP candidates?

There seems to be a highly unusual amount of sticking ones foot in mouth this time around 

“Corporations are people my friend”

“I have concerns about women in combat”

“We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.” 

Seriously, this stuff just makes my head hurt, case after case of picking a fight that you couldn’t possibly win, the candidates might as well have tried to fight the klitschko brothers for the heavyweight title 

I dont know if its stupidity, being naive, or just plain arrogant but general impression i get from people who are Independent and some REPUBLICANS is that they might as well stick with President Obama, this kind of GOP talk does not appeal to the majority of voters and the sooner Mitt, Santorum, and Newt get that through their head the less of a headache and incompetent they will appear to be 

Sexist and homophobic?  This guy should be winning the GOP primaries.

I don’t understand.  Why don’t women just want to do what men tell them to do?

Steponallofus should be talking comments on Bill Clinton’s thoughts & rapes /sex assaults on women not Santorums…

First he came for the Liberals, then the Gays, Muslims, then women. Who’s next?

Don’t men have this choice, too? I’m sure my hubby would love to just stay at home feeding the kids and vacuuming the carpets all day long if he could afford it. As would I. As it is, though, there is no choice for either of us.

How on God’s earth is a women who has 7 children (one of whom is special needs) going to work outside the home without full time help (which, by the way, her spouse can afford.)  ?

They made the decision as a traditional Catholic couple to not use contraception and for one of them to work inside the home. Fortunately he always made enough money for them to do that. Of course it helped that their PA school district subsidized them (while living in VA) to home school the kids.

He does everything he can to not support poor working women. He wants to deny poor working women access to birth control, and any other kind of safety net that will make their jobs easier. He practices Catholic values, except  the ones that advocate for the poor, promote health care for all, support the rights and dignity of undocumented workers and their families, and have people make a living wage (Leo XIII). But that’s OK. His 15 minutes will be over soon. 

 Why?  Is Bill Clinton running for president this year?

 Good avatar name. You’re quite mad. Keep posting. The more you cretins speak the more you lose the next election. And thank you!

I love how Republicans think this guy has a chance!! 

I love how Republicans think this guy has a chance!! 

the blah people

 Non-Whites?

So he basically didn’t answer the question.

Santorum = Goldwater landslide loss for GOP….Please nominate…please!

its a good thing all republican women are sexy like tantaros,gilfoyle,perino,ingram,bachman,palin,kelly,hasselbeck,crowley and carlson….wonder why their husbands agree to their working, bringing in the big bucks and not at home barefoot and pregnant like both mr and mrs santorum prefer they be

Limpo and Snooki from Alaska say Santorum arse juice is a real conservative.

I say they are right on the mark. Just add a teabag here and there.

Steponallofus was the chief sex defender of Bill Clinton’s violent sexcapadesagainse women  ranging from his forced rape to forced sexual assault. Steponallofus has no business asking anyone other than Bill Clinton about woman’s issues. But then again Step is a democrat.

 Last night I did a little bit of research online. Now I’m fairly sure that the Catholic Church is 100% for paying for Viagra. An annual supply one pill a day, with the best Rx this state has to offer costs $7,954.20 a year. Apri, a generic for of Desogen costs $14.96 a year. I did the math…For the cost of ONE Prescription of Viagra you could pay for 531 Apri Prescriptions.

And yes…Generic BC Pills less than $15 a year.

The last good Catholic President was Kennedy. He even made it clear that his religion would not enter into any of the choices that were made by him. It seems that the Catholic politicians this year Santorum and Newt don’t feel the same way. And I do like you mentioning Leo XIII. Perhaps they should repeat what he said the next time Rick goes to mass.

I agree, Rick keeps going down this path he would lose the women vote.

Bill Clinton isn’t telling women what they can and can’t do with their raped bodies.  Rick Santorum wants to force women to live with the baby of their rapist. 

Really, you’d think we’d be honored just to clean your house, cook your meals, have your babies, wash your underwear (really men, what’s up with the undies?), maintain our girlish figures, do our hair, put on our makeup, stroke your…er…egos, etc. I know my self-esteem is based on how clean my floors are! ;-)

Protestant Conservatives?

Probably already has or never had it. He’ll probably get the part of One Million Moms who aren’t fundamentalist christians and hate Catholics. Ain’t it a great country?

 Given recent stories about JFK and at least one mistress, it is clear that he and Gingrich are very similar Catholics.

 Coffee is the problem with the undies.

 Good comment. No cancel button, so I’ll just say I agree.

Yes. Please tell us how that is relevant to this election cycle. Deflect, deflect…the go to move for the nutty right.

I question George Confronts premise since GS allowed Santorum to drivel on about “modern feminism” without following up on his comments about women in the military. 

If Santorum wants to posit that it’s truly the male frame of mind about their female soldiers at concern, it would be nice if GS could retort that a very real threat to female US soldiers is sexual assault by fellow male soldiers.

Further, GS could remind Santorum that Israel allows female combat soldiers.  As does Canada, Australia, New Zealand, along with many Western European nations. 

Ugh.  This Week.  Meet the Gregory.  Face the Nation.  Etc.  All the same with nothing of substance to truly be offered.  Between the guests, pundits and hosts, it is bad and bland each and every week.

U jackass, He was talking about his own family. You can kill all your families babies you want. The more the merrier…While you’re at it take yourself out..

i am not sure about this but it is starting to look as if this guy is going to let the Bishop of Rome call the shots in America if he gets elected. Popes get elected but not to the Presidency of the United States, some body make sure that Santorum knows this: President, not Pope, is what he is running for.

Popes get elected but not to the Presidency of the United States

Seems to me that if a Socialist Jew (Soros) can get elected (call the shots)., that leaves the door open for the Pope.

His point was a parent at home is a good thing, traditionally it’s been the mother. The juvenile comments on this board only affirm too many people were probably raised in front of a TV set. Santorum may be too “real” for Americans who would rather justify their wants by insulting anyone who tries to set a standard of values. Obama – that’s the best choice for a country that does not want to work or set any standard of conduct.

Santorum was defending a woman’s right to stay at home if she wanted to and not be label stupid to choose to stay home with her kids.  Society has gone the other way and looks down on stay-at-home moms. 

In regards to combat, it’s difficult for women to carry 200 lbs. packs on their backs, deal with mentration issues, changing in front of men with the enemy  on the front lines ready to attack them and rape them.  Santorum respects women; they can do 1000′s of job in the military (engineers, doctors, pilots, explosives etc.).  For years there was a reason why our laws prohibited women from being in combat – Santorum just made a comment, it’s not what his whole campaign is about.

So you also support the idea of raising a rapists baby. I’ll send a nice big black man over, I’ll let you pick the female.

He gets paid to discuss CURRENT events not Republican propaganda from 14 years ago.

Of course feminists were IGNORANTLY CONDESCENDING to stay-at-home-moms for many years!

That’s back when the Democrats were attacking the “nuclear” two-parent family unit, and in so doing, wrought a generational cycle of fatherless welfare households, forever tethered to the infamous Democratic Party Plantation.

Straw man argument. I know women in the rural South and in New York who quit their jobs to raise kids and not once did I encounter a single person who looked down on them for their decisions. Where is this supposed condescension on TV? I’ve never seen it. It seems like something Social Conservatives are making up to use as a wedge issue. 

I also wonder at your comments about women being able to fight. No one is forcing women to join the military,so are you suggesting that women who volunteer to fight for our country (many of whom are already involved in combat) should be barred from doing so? What happened to gender equality? Women can do anything men can do as long as they don’t dream too big? There are women athletes who can beat up most men in this country so I’m not sure that their “mentration issues” get in the way. A surprising comment from a woman, no? 

Ya know, it’s been so long since women who choose to stay at home and engage in more “traditional” pursuits were looked down upon. During the period of time when women were entering the job market at a greater rate, yes. There were a lot of concerns that stay-at-home wives were doing so not from choice but from obligation.

But now, I’ve never heard anyone make much of an issue of it… unless they wanted a working woman to stay home or all women to eschew contraception.

As for menstruation and changing garments and rape… somehow the Israeli army and other military organizations that allow women full participation don’t have the problems that so many hysterical men claim are inevitable. 
Somehow women are police officers, fire fighters, EMTs, etc. but somehow they just can’t work on the front lines cuz they’re so gosh darn delicate. 

FWIW, not every job that’s on the front lines involves carrying 200 pound packs on anyone’s back… and women are already being raped. By male service personnel. 

War is awful and I’m not buying the idea that it’s only awful when women are on the front, especially since women have always been in danger while working on the front… just like men… they just haven’t been allowed to be in danger while in an official combat position.
In the wars we’re engaged in throughout the Middle East, there is no such thing as a military position that isn’t in the line of fire and there is nowhere that isn’t part of the front. 

Somehow women have been able to work hard and carry heavy things while working on their own farms, with children, the elderly, and the disabled. And that’s not counting the women who work in the police force, fire department, and as medical personnel.

But somehow a backpack is too much for us and our monthly cycle is just too draining for us to function. Sounds like someone doesn’t know many women or understand our biological realities.

1. Santorum wants “a blanket ban on abortions”.
The fact that the US had this very same prohibition up until 1973, and the
result was black market abortions that killed not only foetuses by also lots of
pregnant women, seems to have escaped the former senator.
 
2. Santorum wants a ban on
gay marriages. He would likely bring back antiquated anti-sodomy laws as
well. “If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual
[gay] sex within your home, then you have a right to bigamy, you have a right
to polygamy, you have a right to incest, you have a right to adultery. You have
a right to anything.” When Santorum gets on the subject of homosexuality,
one can’t help noting a tinge of hysteria, along with a generous helping of
illogic and exaggeration.

Santorum would probably try to ban other related
activities, such as the use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. He
certainly wants to get rid of planned parenthood.

The weird thing is that MegamomLo is supposedly a woman but then acts like menstruation is enough to stop a woman from participating in physical activities. She’s either a very ignorant woman or a guy pretending to be one. 

“Sorry, Sarge, I can’t go out today… I got my period.” 

Stepford Wives?

He is against abortion in cases of rape.
Somehow I don’t hold out hope for that child. Unless the raped/brooder puts it up for adoption.

Sorry but women do judge other women for being a “stay at home mom” a lot of times because they’re angry they can’t do the same and other times because they think it’s not empowering to all womanhood. Hell..women judge other women for not having “natural child birth”.  It’s real and maybe you don’t see and/or hear it because you’re a man but trust me, ladies can be mean about anything they can pick on you about.
