Rick Santorum: The Thread

[HejiraNYC]

^^ I agree.

I think it's tempting to say that Rick Santorum is merely just poison to GLBT. Yes, he is a monster in that regard, but holy f***, his positions on all kinds of private and civil matters are just astoundingly nonsensical. I mean, it's so bad that you couldn't make up a character like Rick Santorum- that would be too much of a stretch of the imagination... but then again, anyone who has watched the most recent season of Dexter could see the parallels between he and the "Doomsday Killer." It's one thing for such an ignorant neanderthal to vie for presidential nomination. But it's another thing for him to actually garner a major following, which really makes me wonder about humankind. Really, America? Do you want to go back to the Salem Witch Trials? Do you want women to stay at home in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant because they're too "emotional" to make critical decisions in the workplace? Do you want to throw out all of the ultrasound machines and ban abortions so that the country is awash with a sudden bolus of retarded babies? Who's going to take care of all of them? Can the U.S. sustain policies that call for unchecked/unmitigated procreation while at the same time slashing budgets for education, welfare and health entitlements while calling for lower taxes on corporations and the rich?
