True, true.
Real reasons Rick Santorum should not be allowed near anything resembling public power:
1. He is a proponent of - and tried to legislate the teaching of - "intelligent design" (google "Santorum language No Child Left Behind) in public schools.
2. He believes homosexuals are by definition pedophiles. He believes legislation should be based on this.
3. He believes that pedophile priests in Boston were caused by liberalism, and driven by it to commit their crimes. Obviously, nobody who lives in a Hannity-esque dreamworld like that needs to be writing legislation.
4. He shoved some hilarious pork onto the Katrina relief bill, involving tax credits for synthetic fuels.
5. He defrauded the school system and the election system, by claiming to live in PA, while he actually rented that house out and lived in VA.
6. His evidence that Saddam was going to kill us all if we didn't invade? "It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.".
7. He believes that the women in poor families work because "radical feminism" makes them, not because they might, you know, starve to death otherwise (Amusingly enough, this is WHY he isn't in government. Republican women dropped him like a hot rock for his characterization of why they work.).
I could go on, but what's the point? Santorum got CREAMED in his last election bid, 56-41, the largest defeat in PA history, and the largest defeat of an incumbent American senator since poor old George McGovern was buried alive in 1980.
He's done.
