Actually Santorum was U.S. Senator for 12 years. No small feat. His problem as I see it is that he is a hard core Catholic. People who have been born and raised in that environment can understand this. I no longer or have I ever for that matter pledged allegiance to the guy with the funny hat who lives in a palace in a far away land. But I know all the doctrine or at least enough of it.

What happens is that the more hard core you become in this belief system the more you revert to medieval, non democratic and unreasonable beliefs. It's the nature of this system. I'm sure there are lots of good and reasonable Catholics out there. I know some of them but the extremists always get the microphone.

Considering the age of this speech and the American election circus expect more goodies to come. Oh boy.

Also has coat on.

Cheers.

I know that the Democrats and their media allies are trying darned hard to portray him as a "hard core" Catholic, but then again they did the same thing to JFK when he was running for office.

You are right August, they are doing this very thing. The difference is that JFK made a point to distance himself from his religious beliefs in the political arena. "I do not speak for my Church on public matters - and the Church does not speak for me." Houston Tx. Sept. 12 1960. Santorum on the other hand is basically stepping in his own doo doo. He's handed the other guys a big stick and they will use it. These days you say something controversial and before you're out the door it's on the 'interwebs'. In Kennedy's day politicians got a free pass on a lot of things but those days are gone. For better or worse I can't say.

Regards.
