I'd like to know if he has ever had dinner with someone who did something objectionable in the 60s, or if his priest has ever launched into a passionate speech that I can whittle to a red-meat soundbite. I want to know if as so much shook hands with Jerry Fallwell outside a men's room where Jerry didn't wash his hands. All of these things are far more relevant to me than anything of substance the candidate is saying right now.

Goose, gander, you dipshiat. Except in this case we're talking about sh*t YOU - you - actually said.

Does that include the 18 point loss in his re-election campaign to the Senate.

/18 points. As an incumbent.
//It's like Dale Earnhardt forgetting how to turn left.

So he's following the lead of the idiot gubner from Virginia?

draypresct: Earlier, he pledged to "defend everything I say" after noting that people might worry about his statements because he isn't "robotic" like some of the more "commoditized candidates."

I look forward to this.

While speaking about health care in front of an audience of 400 people in Woodland Park, Colorado, Rick Santorum spoke with the mother of a child with a rare genetic disorder. She was concerned about the cost of medicine because of skyrocketing drug costs and the cost of health care. Santorum told her she should stop complaining about the cost of the medication her child needs because if people can afford a $900 iPad, she can obviously afford to pay for Abilify, a drug that can cost up to one million dollars a year without health insurance.

"People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad," Santorum declared. "But paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with - it keeps you alive. Why? Because you've been conditioned to think health care is something you can get without having to pay for it."

After the mother explained that her son requires a medication that costs about one million dollars a year, Santorum lectured her about the poor pharmaceutical companies that need incentive (money) to make such drugs, and that their need for incentive (money) is greater than her need for lower cost medication that won't bankrupt her family.

"Look, I want your son and everybody to have the opportunity to stay alive on much-needed drugs. But the bottom line is, we have to give companies the incentive to make those drugs. And if they don't have the incentive to make those drugs, your son won't be alive and lots of other people in this country won't be alive. He's alive today because drug companies provide care. And if they didn't think they could make money providing that drug, that drug wouldn't be here. I sympathize with these compassionate cases. I want your son to stay alive on much-needed drugs. Fact is, we need companies to have incentives to make drugs. If they don't have incentives, they won't make those drugs. We either believe in markets or we don't."

Rick Santorum: "I believe that drug makers need their money more than you need their drugs."

Nothing he's said in 2012 is relevant to America today!

"Woodstock is the great American orgy. This is who the Democratic Party has become. They have become the party of Woodstock. The prey upon our most basic primal lusts, and that's sex. And the whole abortion culture, it's not about life. It's about sexual freedom. That's what it's about. Homosexuality. It's about sexual freedom."
