GOP Primary Megathread!

I think Santorum's positions make him a non-decent guy.

Correct.  At a certain point, political positions demand the label of evil.

I guess I've lost track of them. What evil positions does Santorum hold?

(Evil enough to turn garbon against him, no less  )

Former Gingrich Wife Says He Asked for 'Open Marriage'

'In an interview to be broadcast Thursday night, a former wife of Newt Gingrich says he asked for an "open marriage" to continue his affair with the woman who is his current wife.
...
"He came to her and said I want to stay married to you and still have an affair with Callista." Marianne said Mr. Gingrich asked her to "share" him. That was unacceptable to her and the marriage ended.'

OK, I know for whom I must vote on Saturday.

You're not saying if that is swaying you positively or negatively.   


For what it's worth, I've seen that so many times in libertarian 'conservative' types they espouse policies about personal responsibility and limited government, and yet when push comes to shove the only loyalty they demonstrate in their private lives is to whatever their selfish motivation happens to be at that moment.

In short narcissistic, egotistical 'takers'.

Indeed.

Pro-life, anti-gay, anti-tax, anti-regulation, pro-religion--and not just a little bit.

Because I'm not sure which.

During an interview with the Associated press in 2003, Santorum was asked his views on the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests. Santorum said the priests were engaged in "a basic homosexual relationship", and remarked, "I have a problem with homosexual acts". He argued that the extended right to privacy ruled in Griswold v. Connecticut does not exist in the United States Constitution and that laws should exist against polygamy, adultery, sodomy, and other actions "antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family". Santorum stated that such actions were harmful to society, observing, "Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman.... 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"

Santorum has stated that he does not believe a "right to privacy" is part of the Constitution; he has been critical of the Supreme Court decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which held that the Constitution guaranteed that right, and overturned a law prohibiting the sale and use of contraceptives to married couples.  He has described contraception as "a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."

Oh, yeah, I forgot he wanted to over turn Griswold too.  That makes him basically insane.

The man would take away the right to facials if he could, Jacob.  Do you understand?

What's wrong with having three coiti in your life if you want three kids?

SC has an open primary.  I'm participating in order to sabotage it.

[Admiral Yi]

Open primary.  He's trying to game it.

He would heckle a speech if he could get the time off.

He has described contraception as "a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."

Actually it is a license to not have to do those things.

You sure? Who.

There are still two days left where anything can happen, such as the debate tonight and further "scandal".

[Ideologue]

Oh, sure, I'll make a final decision tomorrow.

[Viking]

So, who are you voting for Cain or Gingerich?
