Santorum brought home stillborn child...bat**** crazy alert.

Sure it was a baby, but remove the emotion attached to it being a child "it's a baby" is a not an excuse for crazy behavior from anyone, let a lone a Presidential candidate.

You haven't been there so you dont know what was in his head at the time ,If you had you wouldn't even be posting this so called "story" - have you got any idea what people go through when this happens? ,any idea of the hell a couple go through with this? ,any idea of the fear you go through EVERY day of the next pregnancy hoping it doesn't happen again? ,and the fear when your wife starts having pre-eclampsia and the baby has to be delivered 4 and a half weeks early with an emergency c-section!

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.

I never thought I would defend a prick like Santorum.(only of course defending his actions not his politicising of those actions), but in this case you are so far over the line of ignorance that it simply needs saying.
Maybe when you grow up and see a bit more of life(and death) you may perhaps understand why you are most definately being a pillock on this paricular issue.

I have seen death, I don't let my emotions overrule rational though.Ignorance? No ignorance here, I am aware a stillborn baby is a sad thing and people do grieve differently.However, there is a line and bringing a dead baby home is crossing it.Not normal or rational, I guess if some joe blow nobody does it, well ok I guess(still crazy and not right) but this guy is running for President and it s a nut, story needs to spread to stop any further rise of him before he costs us the election.

So speaks the bigot.

Actually it just sounds childish and ignorant.

prob

Do all college graduate law students have this much trouble with the English language? To me this is more symptomatic of what's wrong with the world than anything Santorum does. Childish rants and tirades get you no credit in any debate. You sound like Archie Bunker.

"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."

So the wife can be all emotional but the husband has to be a "Man" and just suck it up and ignore it? ,you seriously don't have a clue! ,there are two people in a couple and they Both need support when things like this happen!, most couple were husband does the "Manly" thing end up separating because of the stress on the relationship!

It doesn't matter what anyone posts in this thread, you just wont get it so I think it's time to stick you on ignore and walk away before I post something that'll get me banned.

I have seen death, I don't let my emotions overrule rational though

You are not demonstrating any rational thought at all, in fact your emotions over silly politics sent you way off into loony land long ago.

No ignorance here

You really havn't got a clue have you

Just saying the man should to be the rock in that situation, may not be easy but should to prevent looney, emotional decisions from being made.Sorry if you don't like the truth.

What a stupid comment. As if someone's political leanings have anything to do with it.

I am pro choice and an atheist so suppose I get lumped in with the libs from time to time(whihc is ironic because I pretty much despise liberals otherwise) by those who do not know any better.I would rather be a godless liberal than a religious fool who ignores reality and believes in the big magic man in the sky.

No, not throw the baby in the dumpster but have the body sent to a funeral home and have a proper service, you know? Like normal, rational thinking people do when they grieve, not take it home like an irrational fool.

Hmm tribes, so not rational to suggest something crazy like sending the baby to a funeral home and not taking it home for a play date?

[Platapus]

So just to condense this thread. Santorum made a legally allowable decision concerning how his family chooses to grieve that some other people disagree with.

Do I have that straight?

Havnt kept up with Santorum or really many recent events to be honest.

Yes... people do sometimes bring home their stillborn babies or babies who die within hours of birth before making further arrangements

this happens. I would likely do the same thing

unfortunately when someone who is in the media spotlight does it its suddenly a weird freakish thing that is frowned on.

his family

his child

his business

its not like they took the body home and went Donner party on it
