Who cares about Rick Santorum's,,,
Posted: Feb 20, 2012
views on what he personally feels about when a baby is born, contraception, etc. Ya know, I get it folks, you hate the guy. It's so blatantly obvious with all the posts below. Post after post after post about his viewpoints on contraception, birth control, etc. Calling him names, etc. Do you all even realize how childish/immature you all sound. Yeah, yeah, flame away, the truth hurts.
There is more to the election than how he feels about contraception, when life begins, etc. He has as much right to his viewpoints as do any of the other candidates, Hillary, Obama, etc. How about talking about real issues like the economy, job creation, balancing budgets, foreign affairs, etc. Whether or not someone practices birth control or doesn't or when they believe life actually begins does not affect my life on a daily basis. Understanding the economy, how to get jobs back, how to balance the budget, how he works with foreign leaders and his knowlege in foreign affairs, Is he going to tax me to death like the democrats do, etc, etc. Those are all issues that affect every one of us on a daily basis. Not the sweaters he wears, when he believes life begins, etc.
Can we at least have some grown up conversations about his accomplishments or why you don't feel he is the best candidate instead of post after post after post of ridiculing him and talking aobut how he feels when life begins. As Rhett Butler said it so perfectly
"Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn".
he is using these 50s topics - because Mittens
[ In Reply To ..]cant really respond to these issues.He is using them to differentiate himself from Mitt. The concern is that he will try to restrict women's rights thru appts to the Supreme Court, etc. Once a right is taken away, one rarely gets it back. I dont want man-on-dog Rick interfering with my daughters reproductive systems. Stick to tariffs and electric fences, stay out of my medicine cabinet and away from my death bed.
Santorum is manipulating the base - MoralHighGround
[ In Reply To ..]Comparing Santorum to John McCain,when a supporter said President Obama was a Muslim, John McCain corrected her. When Santorum confronted with the same untruth, he just let it ride. Says a lot about his character, in my viewpoint. He is playing to the ultra-regressive component of the Republican party with the statements on birth control, gay marriage, etc. Unfortunately, McCain eventually sold his soul to the RNC and let them select Ms. Palin as his running mate. I would imagine Santorum will be furiously backpedaling on these issues as soon as he realizes that women and gay people still have a few voting rights in this country.
Not only didn't he correct her ... - me
[ In Reply To ..]...he had this dumb little smirk on his face. He looked like a high school kid who is watching someone being bullied and is just glad it isn't him. Made me want to slap him silly, the wuss.
He also was one of a few senators who - sm
[ In Reply To ..]interfered with Terri Schiavo's case. Is that what this country is coming to?
I have to agree. The Pubs/Santorum are NOT about jobs - RepublicanBigGovernment
[ In Reply To ..]It seems the Republicans could care less about the jobs and economy and foreign affairs. All they care about is limiting women's rights to control their own bodies and using personal religious issues to divide the country. When they change their discussion, I guess we, the people, will too.
Doubt you capable for dropping the nasty - rhetoric - CryBaby Libs

*Discussion* not possible - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Really, don't ask for a discussion if you cannot accept other viewpoints. Back to the usual namecalling, too, I see.
Right back atcha *darlin* - CryBabyLibs

Thank obsessed followers of all I write - CryBabyLibis
[ In Reply To ..]Your obsessive/compulsive following is heart warming.
There are meds for that - PsychMT
[ In Reply To ..]when they say don't mix alcohol with meds, there is a reason. Should also add advice--don't do mood-altering drugs and post.
There are meds for that - PsychMT - CryBabyLibs
[ In Reply To ..]Sure the OC posters that stalk will be happy to hear your advice. Since they post about hearing voices, stalking, their anger issues, their comprehension issues, their bully issues, their victim issues, and God only knows what else, pretty sure they will find it helpful. I am sure they were flocking to your post, seeking wisdom, as you were posting. Maybe you can also give them something for the nerves that they keep having hit. Have a good day :)
some here may find a 12-step program beneficial - PsychMT
[ In Reply To ..]Denial is a tough thing to break through. guess you have to hit bottom. Does it look close?
You tell me - you're sinking faster - CryBabyLibs
[ In Reply To ..]x
I thought you agreed, but instead - what if
[ In Reply To ..]another childish slam. It's obvious you don't know what the republicans stand for. Who in the heck brainwashed you into believing what you wrote. Maybe if you turned off the lib stations for awhile and actually read each candidates viewpoints on different issues you'd learn some things. What you wrote is just not true. Sounds like a Mathewism to me.
Republicans do care about other issues. That's why the constant bashing and trashing with regards to the ideas of birth control below is such crapola and immature.
Thought people could actually have an adult conversation about real issues, but guess that was too hard.
I must have missed Santorum's views on the - sm
[ In Reply To ..]economy and jobs. Can you tell me what his views are? Thanks.
What baloney! You really believe your statement? - Its O who is BIG GOVT !!! nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
cool post - urockNM
[ In Reply To ..]nm
I appreciate your post - wacky lib
[ In Reply To ..]You raise interesting points, no matter what side of the aisle you occupy. I don't care for Mr. Santorum's views - there are many who don't care for Mr. Obama's views. We have a great venue for interesting debate on these matters, and it would be cool to make use of it. I appreciate your point of view.
Thank you - yours post is a breath of fresh air from a "wacky lib" :-) - what if
[ In Reply To ..]I want to discuss issues. There is too much going on. There are plenty of issues to discuss and why can't people here do that instead of ridiculing someone for his own personal opinion on birth, etc. Who cares about that. So what if he said something in public about his personal feelings. I don't care because that doesn't affect me or anyone else.
Some interesting debate topics would be nice about what each of the candidates voting records and opinions are on other topics.
P.S. - Cute moniker :-)
:-) - w.l.
[ In Reply To ..]
Unfortunately, it's impossible - Glenn Dreck
[ In Reply To ..]to have a rational discussion when one side refuses to accept information from any independent/nonpartisan organization, calling them instead a liberal front group or something similar. There has to be some basis on which to discuss issues and if the parties cannot even agree on a starting point then there is nowhere to go.
Unfortunately... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I agree, it is unfortunate. One side refuses to accept information from any independent/nonpartisan organization, calling them right wing fringers, etc. The nasties have come out full blown.
People need to come together, stop callign the other side nasty names. Telling us that an independent source is right-wing or whacko, while instead putting links to left leaning organizations while saying our links are not credible.
I didn't stop liking him until he stopped liking - women. sm
[ In Reply To ..]He wants to take women back to the dark ages.
He will never get my vote. I don't share his religious beliefs. If he wants a theocracy, he should be living in the Middle East because he is just as draconian.
Oh brother - that's like saying Obama wants to put all women - in Burkas
[ In Reply To ..]You have got to be joking me. Those lib stations you listen to sure are getting the brainwashing down.
That is just complete garbage. Saying he wants to take women back to the dark ages is no different than saying Obama wants all women to be required to wear Burkas. No difference - a complete lie.
I may not share his religious believes, but at least I have enough sense not to believe that hogwash.
Obama would never want to put all women in - sm
[ In Reply To ..]burkas.
And I don't listen to ANY stations -- lib or otherwise. I listen to SANTORUM, and I understanding what he is saying.
Just like Mitt Romney when he said he wants bankruptcies to continue so that "investors" could purchase the properties and put "renters" in.
All I have to do is listen to the candidate, and I've listened to Santorum. You should try it sometime.
Well neither does Santorum want to take women back to the dark ages - Sheesh!
[ In Reply To ..]Well evidently you don't listen to him. He has never said that garbage. Get a grip.
Oh Mitt Romney - I won't even go there. I have nothing good to say about him.
Obama would never want to put all women in burkas - Check hearing aide batteries -SM
[ In Reply To ..]'cause assessment is waaayyyy off. Just sayin'
If you think you're hearing voices come from this board - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
No voices - bet but *YOU* hear them :) sm

How about talking about real issues like the economy, job creation, balancing budgets, foreign affai - Libby
[ In Reply To ..]You might want to send that memo to the Pub candidates. I haven't seen anyone really offer any SOLUTIONS, no ACTION words, just lots of slinging mud at each other, and social issues. The Pubs do not HAVE an economic platform, they're still trying to undo the last idiot we gave the reins to.
Then you have not been listening to them - go figure
[ In Reply To ..]because they have been discussing it. The children here won't though, only attacking how he feels personally about birth.
Hey, guess what...The idiot still has the reins and we need someone to undo what the idiot is doing.
I've been listening and I havent' really - heard any new ideas SM
[ In Reply To ..]Basically, I have heard that everything Obama is doing is bad, and we need to go back to the way it was before everything crashed around us. More money to the rich because they are the job creators, less regulations on banks, etc. I think this is why they are focusing on social issues now, it has worked before for them, and they hope it will work again. JMO
the idiot with reins - would be Obama
[ In Reply To ..]Have not seen one lib/Dem post anything on this board but nasty comments and namecalling. How about putting all the negative energy to use by pulling up the 30+ bills House Repubs sent through, with Democrat support, that Prince Harry Reid refuses to bring up to a vote in the Senate. You might want to send THAT MEMO TO THE DEMS. Plenty of solutions offered, but posters here too lazy to go read them, research them and blasts anyone that puts up a link. Dems/libs must be using all their time looking up talking points on MM site and CNN, MSNBC; they do have a direct line through Valerie Jarrett.
