<p>Yep, and he and his wife spent the night with the body nestled between them. As others have noted, since he is so ready to pass judgment on the activities taking place in MY bed, I feel comfortable commenting that the way he behaves in HIS bed violates ancient Judeo-Christian traditions. In other words, he’s a raging hypocrite of the first order.</p>
<p>Senator S is an embarrassment. He is ulta conservative but now is trying to sound more moderate. I’ll vote for Casey. We need a change and at least one Dem. Senator for PA.</p>
<p>Hanna: Would you be able to find us a link to this story of his dead child? Anything factual will do. I would think the source for this story would be very important in this case. Thanks.</p>
<p>Here’s a link:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61804-2005Apr17.html[/url]”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61804-2005Apr17.html</a></p>
<p>This east coast Pennsylvania is voting the lesser of two evils - Casey</p>
<p>The sources are Santorum and his wife – they’ve both discussed this publicly, and she published a book called “Letters to Gabriel.”</p>
<p>The book isn’t online, but the Post article will give you the gist.</p>
<p>I am detecting anti-Santorum zealotry here. :)</p>
<p>Laxmom:</p>
<p>Bobby Casey isn’t the lesser of two evils at all. My wife has known him professionally for over a decade. She is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, and freedom of choice for women means a great deal to her. She is also very much part of the Rendell camp – which in Pennsylvania terms (for those of you who don’t follow PA politics) means that she ought to be at least a little hostile to Casey. But she isn’t at all; she has the utmost respect for him. She feels that he’s wrong on choice and he’s wrong on guns, but that he’s right on just about everything else. Unlike people like Santorum, whose vision of the sacredness of life seems to stop at birth, Casey put in hundreds of hours when he was Auditor General to understand nuts-and-bolts issues affecting children’s health and education, and to carry out strategies to improve children’s lives. This was all under the radar. He was not campaigning (or at least not campaigning with that); he was just doing his job, and doing it really well.</p>
<p>I am happy to have a chance to support Casey in a campaign where he isn’t the lesser of two goods.</p>
<p>I particularly liked Santorum’s comments about my city. He really is such a fine and upstanding individual, blaming priest abuse on a liberal city. What a guy! Of course people should support such a fine man…</p>
<p>“Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected,” Santorum (R., Pa.), the No. 3 Senate leader, wrote for Catholic Online in July 2002. “While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.”</p>
<p>If JHS’s wife likes Casey, I say:
that should be good enough for the rest of us nincompoops! </p>
<p>…besides, Santorum is a Republican-Christian who grieves the death of his own children in a most peculiar fashion: lets trash him for it–‘buck-up, ya weirdo!’ </p>
<p>Moreover, it is clear that Santorum has neither taken the time to watch or absorb the new ethos to death and dying delineated in the hit HBO series, “Six Feet Under.” </p>
<p>Seems I recall something about Lincoln and a dead son–of course he was also a serious Republican and believing Christian with a most peculiar form of grief and grieving.
Imagine a senator like Lincoln! Yikes
president? -god forbid.</p>
<p>Santorum’s method of grieving is not of my concern.</p>
<p>It is the rest of his whackjob ideology that needs to be run out of the Senate.</p>
<p>I usually never get into political discussions, but Santorum scares me to death and any hint of his being groomed for the presidency scares me even more than that. I usually associate him with a book I read by Margaret Atwood called ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. If he ever became the President or even VP, I can imagine the country turning into that state…I am a Hindu by birth and atheist by choice. Would he and his ilk drive me out of the country?</p>
<p>Santorum’s very personal religious views get in the way of reasoned political discussion. For example, when he compared same gender unions to other bevahior that is universally viewed as abhorrent (I don’t have to name it, you all remember).</p>
<p>Also, he may be more of a calculating partisan than you believe. According to author John McWhorter, during a private meeting with the Senator wherein McWhorter asked Santorum about some Bush initiatives that might appeal to moderates and minorities, Santorum replied ‘…why should we, they don’t vote for us.’</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I DON’T recall Lincoln building his political career on condemning the intimate behavior of other families. Since he didn’t do that, I don’t give a hoot about what went on upstairs.</p>
<p>Eh, Santorum hasn’t built his career on that either. He does, as someone once said of Newt, need to learn to resist the urge to argue every point that’s thrown at him. To paint Santorum as a professional homophobe is good Kos-strategy, but not accurate.</p>
<p>It’s not just homophobia, it’s man-on-dog phobia. What goes on in what passes for the man’s mind.</p>
<p>Homophobia is the least of Santorum’s many ills.</p>
<p>and now, all my kids!!!</p>
<p>new ad has Santorum’s kids talking about daddy…why open them up to this?</p>
<p>guess he has nothing else to do present but that he made lots of kids in a big big house who are homeschooled…</p>
<p>wonder what house he used in the ads…</p>
