GOP Leaders Should Remember: An Elephant Never Forgets. Where Are Santorum's Fellow Republicans?

They don't need my advice... They have smart people over there. They'll figure it out. You guys do if you plan to keeping control.

[JNB]

The GOP does not get the gay vote as it is anyways, and most of the gay vote is concentrated in areas that are allready Democratic. The starights that ate sympathetic to them also tend to live in Democratic areas as well. This story after another week or two will blow over.

[skeeter]

He needs to step down from his leadership position as of yesterday or he will be the posterchild that will be used to defeat GW and put the Democrats back in control of the House and Senate.

Here we go again.

The spineless wonders are back, tanned rested and ready.

[cynicom]

Democrat enablers??

[k2blader]

Just curious. Thought you might know something about Him considering your mention of "Religious Zealots and nutcases who wouldn't support a Democrat if Jesus himself told them to."

BTW, what does Santorum's or any Republican's religion have to do with anything?

[Shroom]

As long as Saint Torum uses his religion to back up his political views, it is my concern.

[Regulator]

Actually, it isn't about his faith. It's simply about whether a state has the right to make a law regulating private behavior of any sort. If there is an all encompassing "right to privacy" which proscribes the passage of any law that regulates private consensual behavior, then

• The laws against prostitution are unconstitutional
• The laws against assisted suicide are unconstitutional
• The laws against drug use in your home are unconstitutional
• And as Santorum said, a whole host of laws defining the relationships acceptable to this society are unconstitutional.

That's his point and it's well worth taking. Does a society have the right to pass laws to define the structure of itself? If the Constitution says "no", then what have we been doing the last 220 years? Was it all a big mistake?

The question isn't whether homosexual acts or bigamy or polygamy or whatever is good or bad. The question is, does the Constitution forbid us from deciding, through the state legislatures, whether they are good or bad for us as a society.

[skeeter]

cassandras, wobblies, or just good ol' poltroons.

[lilylangtree]

Rick needs more support before the homosexuals and RATS eliminate him altogether.

I'm so glad the war in Iraq is almost over. Now we can go back to eating our own.

[k2blader]

Well, you may just have to get used to it.

Faith naturally colors the worldviews of many.

[bigfootbob]

"I'm so glad the war in Iraq is almost over. Now we can go back to eating our own."

No $h!t. Freakin' unbelievable how some R's are political masochists. I wonder what they see when they look into the mirror!

[ex-snook]

"And Where Are Senator Santorum's Fellow Republicans When He Needs Them? "

Bush is hiding in a gay proof bunker. He is leaving Santorum twisting slowly in the wind. Social Conservatives are being exited from the Republican party one by one.

This ain't your father's Republican party any more. The elephant has morphed into a RINO.

[Black Agnes]

ping.

[Lee_Atwater]

You must be a Republican strategist...fearful of your own shadow.

Did you work on Ford's campaign?

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I think he should stay exactly where he is! Why in the world would you suggest he "cave" to liberal pressure?

I've voiced my opinion on his stand, and I won't back down it it either.

I think we should all ignore this crap just like he is. He needs to move on. Not apologize for it or anthing.

[wardaddy]

You need to lay off your "username"(s)

[billbears]

Rick Santorum should have kept his mouth shut if he truly wanted to increase the Republican Majority

Yep, we've got to throw principle out the window when it comes to votes right? And some people wonder why the 'conservative' movement is having problems. Could it be half the people in the party aren't even conservatives and are more interested in power?

[wardaddy]

Republicans are indeed white....scared of their own shadaows and terrified of being called "not nice".

Sad....they must all bow and lick the feet of the PC Baal.

[mabelkitty]

No, it is about his First Amendments rights being violated.

I refuse to be distracted from that very basic fact.
