Please lefties go back to sleep so we can fix this nation. You may wake up with a job." Sorry Jim Rod, President Obama is only the "lefties'" god in Right Wing radio land. We "lefties" are repulsed that the Republican Party could embrace Rick Santorum, a man who claims birth control is "harmful". Left and Right leaning women centrists and independents (btw, we DO have jobs) are not going "back to sleep" so the likes of Santorum can crusade his personal religious beliefs into our national government and over our personal family planning choices.

What about wife, doesn't she have a law degree??? The GOP wants their constituents "dumbed" down so they can sell them a "crock". I have my own religion thank you very much and don't need to be force fed another's growing up in an urban area I went to many different churches and synogues and learned about the religious beliefs of my friends -- there were some similarities and differences and I understood what they were and I respected each one for their beliefs and understood we all have our own understanding of what gets us through difficult periods in our lifetimes. Everyone has sadness and joy and most people are taught in their faith to have compassion for others!

Within the confines of his church and among his fellow believers, he can say or believe whatever he wants. I do not want this man anywhere near the White House, and I imagine millions more like me feel the same way. If the Republican Party picks this man for their candidate, they will surely lose. The party better pay attention to past experienced advisors like Richard Nixon, who advised "distance from the religious right wing," if they want to the election.

If any government program doesn't conform to his religious positions its unconstitutional. I wonder what he would say if the Supreme Court said interference with the old Mormon faith which allows polygamy is unconstitutional. He’d scream his tiny head off. What a hypocrite this guys is.

Nothing he says can be believed. He clearly has no idea what he's talking about. He is ready willing and able to ignore our history on this subject in order to pander to the stupidest amongst his constituency. I'll be casting my vote for him tomorrow in the primary. If enough of us do that, it will guarantee an Obama landslide in November. Santorum is a lying, hypocritical pervert. Nothing he says can be believed. He clearly has no idea what he’s talking about.
