I’m not a fan of Gingrich because he’s an arrogant politician. Santorum, though, is just plain nasty. Seriously, a man who is running on the Republican ticket doesn’t seem to know when to keep his mouth shut. Today, The Huffington Post published a speech given by Santorum at Ave Maria University in 2008 where he stated that Protestantism is out of sync with main-stream Christianity. Now, I know that, as a Catholic, I am not in the majority in the United States–Protestants are the majority. That’s a fact that has been true since the founding of this country. Did Santorum know he was going to run for President in 2008? No. But did he know that he is a high-profile Republican? Yes.
Rick Santorum’s comments on homosexuality range from ridiculous to ludicrous to just mean. His most famous quote is from a 2003 AP interview where he said, after the Supreme Court came down with the decision to protect consensual homosexual sex at home, “you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.” Doesn’t Santorum know there are homosexual Republicans? Santorum is so far out of touch with even main-stream conservatives that you have to wonder what river he’s paddling his boat down.
