HARRISBURG -- U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's recent remarks about homosexuality cost him little in political support in his home state, a new independent poll shows.

Santorum received the same 55 percent approval rating among Pennsylvania voters this month that he enjoyed in April, before his controversial remarks made the national news, according to the statewide survey released today by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

SODOMY : Santorum Crisis Exposes Republican Weakness The Rick Santorum controversy has illuminated a serious problem in the Republican Party: its leaders seem woefully ill-prepared to defend the pro-family position on homosexuality.

White House backs Santorum; he's 'inclusive' & other Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee and Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, have affirmed their support for Santorum.

Republicans Confident Gay Rights Issue Will Hurt DeanRichard White (search), a Republican state senator from Mississippi, said any candidate talking about gay rights might as well not even visit his state.

"The people down here, they are not going to put up with that kind of stuff," White said. "We're not prepared for all that in Mississippi or anywhere else in the southern states."

Mr. Horowitz Owes Christians an Apology; Latest conservative to go pro-'gay'

Christian conservatives and Torah-believing Jews oppose homosexual activism for three basic reasons:

1) The Bible and God’s natural design say it is wrong;

2) homosexuality is extremely unhealthy and hurts individuals, families and communities; and

3) homosexual activism threatens our most cherished freedoms of religion, speech and association.

 

1. SODOMY : Texas Phys.Resource Council, Christian Med. & Dental Association, Catholic Med.Association Sodomy is an efficient method of transmitting STDs. And regardless of the reason, same-sex sodomy is far more effective in spreading STDs than opposite-sex sodomy. Multiple studies have estimated that 40 percent or more of men who practice anal sex acquire STDs. In fact, same-sex sodomy has resulted in the transformation of diseases previously transmitted only through fecally contaminated food and water into sexually caused diseases primarily among those who practice same-sex sodomy.

Kudos to Pennsylvania voters!

Maybe this is a case of saying "the Emperor has no cloths." The gay rights people have an inordinate amount of political and media clout. Hopefully, other leaders will have the wisdom to stand up to the gay rights agenda as a result of Santorum's convictions.

Many of those leaders may be waiting for the church to stand up first:

Santorum has common sense and a spine.

A rare quality in current GOP leadership circles. Maybe he'll display the kind of courage that DeLay has shown.

WAKE UP ping

A rare quality in current GOP leadership circles.

I really hope this rare quality is something many conservative parents realize is so desperately needed in today's youth, who will be tomorrow's leaders.
