Sorry, Richie. I will never vote for someone who makes the claim that my gay relatives engage in the equivalent of bestiality.
Those are not the values that I want in *my* version of America.
Here's some Santorum quotes that turn my stomach:
Quote:

“In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality.” –Rick Santorum, AP interview

Privacy?
Quote:
|
It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn’t exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution.
|
So I'll reference the Constitution in that privacy is mentioned in Ammendments 1 (Privacy of Belief), 3 (of Home) and 4 (one's Person and Possessions) - and let's not forget the 9th that says more rights may exist.
Marriage? Hey, Rick - I had a vasectomy after my second daughter was born. I was divorced a few years back but I just got married a year and a half ago. What say you?

“Marriage is not about affirming somebody’s love for somebody else. It’s about uniting together to be open to children, to further civilization in our society.” –Rick Santorum on Fox News Sunday.

(I guess infertile couples who don't adopt shouldn't be married)
What about The Pursuit of Happiness?
Quote:
“Suffering, if you’re a Christian, suffering is a part of life. And it’s not a bad thing, it is an essential thing in life … There are all different ways to suffer. One way to suffer is through lack of food and shelter and there’s another way to suffer which is lack of dignity and hope and there’s all sorts of ways that people suffer and it’s not just tangible, it’s also intangible and we have to consider both.”
~Rick Santorum, saying that Americans should suffer because suffering is good.
