Rick Santorum needs to get hit by a bus.

Horrible motherfuckers all around in the latest Republican debate.

Of course, that only goes for non-married service people.
Scumbag. At least he's out of politics, other than being a talking head at Faux News. No way that shit-eater will get the nomination or the Presidency.
(p.s. I know, I know, I'm giving corprophages a bad name associating them with him.)

I was under the impression something had already hit him in the head.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm not sure what I was more sickened by, Santorum's answer or the crowd booing when the gay soldier asked the question.
In Santorum's answer he said that homosexuals think they deserve special treatment, but all they are asking for is equal treatment. To conservatives, anyone fighting not to be treated as a second class citizen is asking for special treatment.

Wow...a thread suggesting someone get killed because they hold a political opinion that some find offensive?
Not cool.

Just another rung in the ever evolving and polite political discourse of the USA.
When State Supreme Court Justices strangle each other (Prosser in Wisconsin), can you expect more from the rabble?

Whatever, Adrian. I didn't think you were so thick as to not recognize hyperbole when you see it.
Guess I was wrong.
Oh & quite honestly, I find *everything* about Santorum offensive. You should do a little reading up on him. Maybe then you'll actually have something relevant to add to this discussion.

Hyperbole or not, I don't think such statements are helpful when it comes to discussing political matters. His view is shared by a number of people, not all of whom are as undesirable as Santorum himself. You know my stance on this kind of thing; I've been on the receiving end of various Nazi-related attacks quite recently.
I don't see any reason to try and belittle your opponents, or to talk down about someone you disagree with, or even to say they should be "hit by a bus" for saying something controversial. It doesn't do anything positive for your position; in fact, I'd say it does the opposite.

I'll have to disagree with you. Anyone who remotely shares his views on anything political or social is in my opinion undesirable.
He's opportunistic scum.

What did you expect, the guy even comes complete with the looks of a caricture of self-absorbed evangelical huckster, all that was missing was an ostentatious attempt to introduce a big haired floozy of an evenglical wife in front of a big screen for effect.

Frankly, this sort of thing is exactly what's led to me distancing myself from political discourse. The right and left both engage in it, and I find it sickening regardless of whether I agree with someone's politics or not.
It's also worth recognizing that concerning certain politicians - hyperbole is completely superfluous, and serves to alienate people who might otherwise be your allies.
