This story doesn't say sod all about the man but it says volumes about you and the things your prepared to post and beat up because you dont like the guy!
I'm sorry if anyone else finds this post offensive but I had to vent about bubbleheads post and attitude with this - my eldest would have been 14 this year ,despite what some people think it never leaves you ,it just gradually hurts less over the years ,and for someone to cheapen that is disgusting!

First, I am sorry about what happened and imagine the pain is great nor does it ever never really go away.However, it is not excuse to act like an irrational fool such as the way Santorum did.Bringing a dead stillborn child home is just out of the bounds of rational, sane behavior that is needed in life esp from someone who is aspiring to be the President.Obviously he can not handle his grief properly, I know people who have lost children, babies and those older, they were miserable and took them a long time to even seem normal again BUT they did not lose their marbles and act like a fool.Santorums behavior is an offshot of his religious zeal, which is another sign that he lacks a clear and rational thought process.
Damn it, I could see if his wife wanted to do it, she is a the woman, her body chemistry changes, hormones etc and she just delievered a child who is dead.This is where he is supposed to be the MAN and stop crazy ideas like 'lets bring the dead child home to play with the kids" but he obviously can not handle strees, grief etc very well either so there was no one there to be a buffer.
I am sure this sounds cold hearted and I get it, this is not a personal thing against Santorum.I was willing to ignore some of his crazy religious stuff because he would be a clear alternative to Romney and Obama.However, once I read into his depth of irrational thought...such as making US law based on "gods law" and his crazy anti abortion stances in addition to the "bring a dead baby home" program, well it's over for him.The word must be spread about him before we wind up with him as the nominee because he would get slaughtered in the general, even with a terrible economy.Obama would be seen as the lesser of two evils and honestly, as much as it pains me to say it, he prob would be.
