A little story about Rick Santorum
I want to share this story with other people because I think it is important to know what a sanctimonius prick Rick the Prick Santorum is.

A friend of mine and a local Catholic priest when to visit him to discuss some issues at the US Capitol.

In the course of the converation this priest told Santorum that pro-life wasn't just about abortion, that it covered a lot of human rights issues like living wages, healthcare, education etc....

Santorum had a fit...an absolute fit about this and told the priest that he was a better catholic than the priest and that he knew what pro-life was about and it was limited to abortion...

He also said the other issues were "social justice" issues which aren't his problem... NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT...WHY WOULDN'T SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES BE IMPORTANT TO A US SENATOR!!!!

Why wouldn't a living wage and people getting healthcare be of concern to him....I don't know what bible that jerkoff reads but it isn't the one they read to me in CCD classes.

I am praying every day that come 2006 we will get rid of that asshole.

2. My friend told me that she was shocked at what an absolute
self-righteous person he is. It is apparent he has no care for the people of PA or the country.

10. That's very typical of Opus-Dei people and their followers
They "know" they have the answer (whatever it is) and they're on the inside track. The rest of us are just ignorant, uninformed people - not worthy of attention.

14. many people feel that way
about Liberals too.

Which is sad, considering that the near drooling statements of George of the Bungle "connects" with the common man.

4. On second thought, maybe he thinks that pro-life is only
"pro-fetus-life".

After all, we know that once they fetus is born most pro-fetus-lifers abandond all responsibility for the baby's life. As a matter of fact, sometimes they'll even put it to death later if convicted of a capital crime.

Pro-lifers, yechhhh! It's really all about power, power, power.

5. You see, that other stuff cuts into the profits of the big businesses ...
...whose god Santorum really worships.

And being against abortion is really just a way to get people whose economic interests don't coincide with big business to vote against Dems.

Anybody who really believes in god is committing a sin when he or she votes for people like Santorum.

6. PA is usually solidly moderate
I'm hoping that Santorum will be too conservative for our voters. On the other hand, they did elect the prick in the first place....

7. Maybe more Catholic priests should get this from the horses' mouth,
or whatever he speaks out of.
In Louisiana many Catholics have been "wedged" by this issue alone.

9. Santorectum is Insane
He also made a comment that nowhere is it written in the bible that we have to protect the earth and it's environment because America might not be here in 100 years. HUH?

My best wishes to the good people of Pennsylvania in getting this lunatic out in 2006.

8. Makes one wonder if the right wing cabal has tiers...
and that at a certain level, the sujects have been brainwashed to be propoganda robots. Compassion, depth of humanity and brotherhood - robots have had it programmed out of them.

11. Or they've been replaced by pods
Santorum is actually the empty shell of what was once a human being. He turned his back for one second and was appropriated by The GOP Android Factory where all feeling, empathy and emotion was drained out of his head by a giant hose.

12. Santorum, Scalia...
...and other anti-abortion, pro-death penalty, pro-screw the poor Catholics are just as much 'cafeteria Catholics' as the more liberal members of the Church whose orthodoxy they consistently challenge.

But they are too blinded by arrogance to see this.

13. Keep us advised: Who is running against him and where do we send the $$?
This boy is a hemorrhoid on the anus of the US Senate.
