Apparently fathering a seven children hasn't helped Rick Santorum convince himself in his heart of hearts that he's not a self-loathing closeted gay man (no one is so hysterically anti-gay unless they are over compensating for something). Or at least that's my take on Santorum's latest anti-gay diatribe in which he states that it would be suicidal for the GOP to embrace gay marriage. Meanwhile, in light of the rapidly increasing support for gay marriage and the dying off of the gay hating seniors, it would seem that embracing Santorum's batshitery is a bigger threat to the GOP's long term survival. It should also be noted that Frothy Mix predicts that the U.S. Supreme Court will uphold Proposition 8. Gay marriage is just too much for Santorum to handle given his Catholic brainwashing. Here are highlights from the Des Moines Register:
A “chastened” U.S. Supreme Court won’t make the mistake of granting same-sex marriage rights, former presidential candidate Rick Santorum predicted in an interview today.Personally, I wish Santorium would hire a rent boy, have some wild passionate gays sex, see that no lightening block is coming down from the sky to smite him, and move on with his life and leave the rest of us gays alone.
“I think you’ll see, hopefully, a chastened Supreme Court is not going to make the same mistake in the (current) cases as they did in Roe v. Wade,” Santorum told The Des Moines Register in a telephone interview. “I’m hopeful the Supreme Court learned its lesson about trying to predict where the American public is going on issues and trying to find rights in the Constitution that sit with the fancy of the day.”
Asked about his plans to seek the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, he said: “I haven’t made any decisions, certainly hoping to do that.” The father of seven said it will depend on his personal life and the political scene in the next election cycle.
Santorum is coming to Iowa next week to say that although some Republicans here and elsewhere are now publicly backing marriage rights for same-sex couples, the party will never embrace that.
“One of the things I learned from the last four years is that when you go to Iowa, people pay attention to what you say,” he said. “That’s always a gift that Iowa can bring to any person in public life. We’re going to talk about the concerns I have.”
There’s obviously “an increasing mood” on supporting gay marriage, but “it is not a well thought-out position by the American public,” Santorum said.
Asked what he thinks about the two Midwest senators who have recently backed gay marriage, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio and Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Santorum said some Republicans splintered off in the late 1960s and early 1970s to support abortion rights when the courts “started mucking around with pro-life statutes at the state level.”
“I’m sure you could go back and read stories, oh, you know, ‘The Republican party’s going to change. This is the future.’ Obviously that didn’t happen,” Santorum said. “I think you’re going to see the same stories written now and it’s not going to happen. The Republican party’s not going to change on this issue. In my opinion it would be suicidal if it did.”
“Just because some of those things happen to be popular right now doesn’t mean the Republican party should follow suit,” he said.
