It’s coming, folks.
Wow. Is this guy ever an imbecile. But, lets get right to the deets.
Thank you CrooksAndLiars.com.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says an amendment put forward by Senate Republicans that would have allowed any business to exclude contraceptives from health care plans was not really about birth control.
“The Blunt amendment was broader than that,” Santorum told Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday. “It was a conscience clause exception that existed prior to when President Obama decided that he could impose his values on people of faith, when people of faith believe that this is a grievous moral wrong.”
“But the Blunt Amendment wasn’t just talking about Catholic institutions — Catholic colleges, charities — it was saying any — you know, U.S. Steel — any company, any insurance company could decide not to offer birth control,” Wallace noted.
“No, it wasn’t about birth control,” Santorum, who is Catholic, insisted. “It was about a moral exception to any type of mandate. … We hear so much about the left wanting to separate church and state. Well, how about the separation of church and state when the state wants to force the church and people who are believers into doing something that they don’t want to do.”
Last week, the anti-contraception amendment sponsored by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) was in a 51-48 vote.
Wallace went on to press Santorum on whether he still believes that the 99 percent of all women in the U.S. who had used birth control had done something wrong.
“I’m reflecting the views of the Church that I believe in,” the former Pennsylvania senator replied. “We used to be tolerant of those beliefs. I guess now when you have beliefs that are consistent with the church, you are somehow out of touch with the mainstream. And that to me is a pretty sad situation when you can’t have personally-held beliefs.”
Okay, so, I’m sorry this guy is so dimwitted he looks at a condom and wonders how to blow it up and turn it into a balloon poodle, but that’s his problem.
But a grievous moral wrong? SERIOUSLY? And look at this asshat’s tortured, sad face.
He cares, ladies. It kills him, deep inside, down where he hates gays and wants you back in the kitchen, that you have any kind of control over your bodies.
You know what? I use to find this guy funny, but in a “Ha ha, wow, somebody on the right is going to point out what a tool he is” funny.
But since that’s clearly not going to happen, I have a different attitude about it now. Now, I just want this guy relegated to the used condom pile of history.
I want to see him start to lose the woman vote to send a message to him, the other candidates, and every moron still living in the 1950s.
Limbaugh learned his lesson this week: Actions have consequences. (Sort of. His apology was a steaming piece of PR crap, but he still had to choke down “I’m Sorry” which I only appreciate because I know he hated it)
But as long as this Santorum turd is being funded by billionaire like minded turds like Foster Friess- thank you Super Pacs - he still gets airtime. He’s still in the game.
So, as of today, I pick Mormon over Moron…
…because if - IF - Obama loses, I would rather have Romney in there instead of this Evangelistic Ayatollah.
And once Santorum is out of the picture and as irrelevant as he deserves to be, I will happily start fighting the fight against whatever Romney we get after Romney secures the nomination.
But honestly, it’s time to abort the idea of a Santorum Presidency. Make it happen, Super Tuesday. Make it happen, women voters.
Well, he got his talking points, he was programmed to speak to the fringe and it worked! By seven whole percent.
Romney defended his one term as governor of Massachusetts, saying he erased a large deficit to balance the budget, eliminated government agencies and applied the lessons of private enterprise to running the state government.
By being a moderate. Shh! He’s a right wing loon now… here’s hopping everybody forgot.
“I want to get my hands on Washington, DC,” Romney said.
I hope he means the city instead of this guy:
Because otherwise that’s gonna muddy the whole “I’m a homophobe just like you” message he spent crapping out this week.
More fun with Mitt:
He detailed a laundry list of pledges to the crowd about social issues, saying that if elected president he would fight for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman,
At least this week.
that he would reinstate the Mexico City policy, that he would cut off funding for the United Nations Population Fund — which he said “supports China’s barbaric One Child Policy”
Hmm. Seems like he’s already on the path to making friends globally. Any things else?
— and that he would cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
Unless women have a problem with that, and considering they vote more than men, I would imagine this softens too.
But congratulations, Rombag! At least today, in the little petrie dish of fear mongering, you are KING OF THE LOONS!
Try not to suck in Maine, ‘kay?
What a day!!!
First, Karen Handel exits:
Karen Handel, vice president for public affairs at Susan G. Komen for the Cure, resigned on Tuesday following public outcry over the announcement Komen would pull funding from Planned Parenthood. After Komen reversed its decision, The Huffington Post reported thatHandel drove the decision to defund Planned Parenthood over abortion politics and crafted the strategy to clean up the public relations mess that ensued.
Although she acknowledges her involvement in the Planned Parenthood decision in her resignation letter, she also decries what she calls “gross mischaracterizations” of the situation and maintains that the decision was not about politics:
I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it. I openly acknowledge my role in the matter and continue to believe our decision was the best one for Komen’s future and the women we serve. However, the decision to update our granting model was made before I joined Komen, and the controversy related to Planned Parenthood has long been a concern to the organization. Neither the decision nor the changes themselves were based on anyone’s political beliefs or ideology. Rather, both were based on Komen’s mission and how to better serve women, as well as a realization of the need to distance Komen from controversy. I believe that Komen, like any other nonprofit organization, has the right and the responsibility to set criteria and highest standards for how and to whom it grants.
What was a thoughtful and thoroughly reviewed decision — one that would have indeed enabled Komen to deliver even greater community impact — has unfortunately been turned into something about politics. This is entirely untrue. This development should sadden us all greatly.
She leaves as she entered and worked - a liar.
Well, we’re all disappointed that someone like you was allowed anywhere near the levers of women health so, good bye and good riddance, bad person.
Then, Prop 8 is overturned!
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court on Tuesday declared California’s same-sex marriage ban to be unconstitutional, putting the bitterly contested, voter-approved law on track for a likely appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 – a response to an earlier state court decision that legalized gay marriage – was a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians.
And of course, this gives the four stooges a talking point for this election, and Rick Santorum (who is insane) something to freak out about, which I’ve had my fill of. When are they going to put sleeves on that sweater vest and make it a straight jacket?
Still. Awesome.
AND THEN THIS!!! THE SPIDER-MAN TRAILER! AND IT’S AWESOME!
Seriously. This much good in one day? I’m going to go play the lotto now.
