Fact Inventing- Just one of Santorum's many talents.

RE: Fact Inventing- Just one of Santorum's many talents.
Well he stuck his foot in his mouth recently when he said that he doesn't care about the jobless rate. Of course he doesn't. He's too busy worrying about contraception, abortion, porn, gay marriage, and all those other incredibly important issues we face today.

And don't forget he's also concerned about how secular education makes people fall away from god.

Quote:Santorum’s defense of his position that he would ban the distribution of porn is based on the false premise that he would just be enforcing the existing laws that are on the books. The cries of enforce the law are nothing more than social conservative code for a ban. Rick Santorum’s claim that the Bush administration carried out similar prosecutions to what he is proposing is an outright lie. What Santorum is proposing is a ban on the distribution of everything that his administration labels hardcore pornography.

Watch the video too and see how many lies you can pick out.

Banning the distribution of porn?
Is this a promise for the campaign?
I think that people may have too much on their hands.

Oh god I hope you're right. I once had confidence in this. I'm having second thoughts about this. It's hard not to be myopic when you see how many people like this nutcase. The bigger picture looks better.

Exactly! It just seems more and more fundies are smiling and nodding at his every word. Terrifying! Someone needs to remind them all that the Puritans were NOT the Founders!

Well luckily the fundies are a minority even among Christians. But it is scary to know that Santorum has as much support as he does.

This guy has enough craziness to be a bonafide fringe candidate (he is not quite at Ross Perot's level but hey Ross was a special guy), yet here is winning states in the Primary. I don't know what the appeal is. Has he NOT alienated any groups of people? I can't think of one except the fundamentalists?

I would really, really, love to see Santorum break away from the Republican party and run as a third-party candidate. Since the Tea Party loves him so much, they could organize and he could be the Tea Party candidate.

Oh and I think a lot of Santorum's support is from people who want a Christian theocracy, or want to throw Obama out, but don't want to vote for a Mormon. So therefore he gets most of the batshit insane Christian fundie vote.

In the branding and advertising business it's important to come up with slogans that describe what your product is about. The unofficial slogan for the Republican party is "Anyone but Obama". I think that describes quite accurately what the product is about.

Now Santorum's big thing is going after pornography. I guess he wasn't content pissing off all the women, now he's trying to piss off men, too.

How can he when it's so easily available on the internet? Or is this just another ploy to make the religious right love him. He's going for the Mr pure squeaky clean image.
