Man on Dog Santorum enters the GOP 2012 presidential race with dogs snapping at his heels.
Here’s an Unedited section of the Associated Press interview, taped April 7, 2011, with Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa.:
Senator Rick Santorum: Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that’s what? Children. Monogamous relationships. 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 —
AP: I’m sorry, I didn’t think I was going to talk about “man on dog” with a United States senator, it’s sort of freaking me out.
The GOP field wasn’t bizarre enough? Now, Santorum? He has not changed his opinion, by the way. Is this a presidential field, or a circus side show? For example, Napoleon Bonaparte said it all: “In politics, absurdity is not a handicap,” Rick Santorum, in the AP interview, asserted “I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts.” Surely. And I have no problem with Rick Santorum. I have a problem with anything he does. One thing though, with Santorum in the GOP field, social conservative voters could not be happier. This will steer things even further toward the cliffs.
