Quote: "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.... Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." (Speaking with CaffeinatedThoughts.com, Oct. 18, 2011)

Senator RICK SANTORUM ("It Takes a Family"): They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can't go it alone, that there is no such society that I'm aware of where we've had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.

The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire. And we're seeing it in our society.

That this person can be considered a viable candidate for president is the reason for a coordinated resistance such as the new atheism and the Reason Rally, among others.

Mad as a barrel of badgers. Apocalyptic Xtian, as I understand. Under no circumstances allow near that suitcase with the nuclear codes in it...

No need to worry. He has about as much chance of being elected President as does an actual stain of Santorum.

The Electoral College =/= the College of Cardinals, fortunately.
Then again, McCain was foolish enough to pick Sarah Palin as his VP nominee, and her ideas aren't much different from Santorum's...

The whole "anti-contraception" thing is creepy. I read he thinks States should be allowed to ban contraception. If correct, that is tres bonkers.

But he's a tall good looking bloke, that adds 10% to his appeal. And while his ideas appear to be bat shit crazy to some thay make perfect sense to others and are consistant while Palin couldn't keep on messsage.
I hope you are right about Santorum and on a good day I think you are but it's not the good days that worry me.
