RICK SANTORUM DUMPS THE DUGGARS
American Prowler ^ | 5.28.15 | Emily Zanotti

Posted on 05/28/2015 1:44:56 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Rick Santorum has decided to inflict himself, yet again, on our fair nation, running for President a third (I think) time. Now, while I'm not entirely certain what America did to deserve such an honor, clearly God is trying to punish us for some string of transgressions, because otherwise, His chosen candidate, Santorum, would have long ago retired to head up a DC-based family-focused think tank or sell panini presses on late night television.

Not that I begrudge Rick his chance. Although he's not very attractive as a candidate, he did do well last time around, and he has, at least, earned the right to try again. He's out of touch with the voter base (and not just on social issues), he's smarmy and spray-tanned, but the man does do well in Middle America. And that's enough to keep him on the trail. And unlike his compatriot Mike Huckabee, this time around, Rick Santorum won't be welcoming the Duggars,

The term exonerated is not used for acquittal. That happens when a jury decides that a person has not been proved guilty of the charges by a preponderance of the evidence.

For example: O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering his wife. he was not exonerated.

Did you say the same when Reagan ran again after finishing second in 1976?

You can't be serious, comparing the two term Governor of California who had only just finished his second successful term, and who was leader of the national conservative movement, who took on a SITTING Republican president, almost knocked off that sitting president as the counting went on after midnight "Ford prevailed with 1,187 delegates to Reagan's 1,070", to a washed up never was, who lost his Senate seat in a 17.4 wipe out of humiliating failure, and who will never hold office again?

I wasn’t trying to use them interchangeably. OJ was acquitted even though he was guilty. Zimmerman was not guilty. Even if he had been sent up the river, he was not guilty of anything at all. He was defending himself as the evidence clearly shows.

Since Gov. Pataki just declared today, today was the first I've researched his eligibility. This was the first time I've posted his status.

If my "spam" bothers you, please scroll past me. Isn't freedom wonderful?

Proof? We don't know what happened.

Why not just quit spamming, if you want to attack a candidate that you don’t like, why not just post about him, rather than this endless pathetic, irrelevant to the threads, spam?

I have been told here that it’s only boys being boys, a perfectly harmless outlet, etc.

Pulling your little five year old sister onto your lap under the guise of reading her a book, so you can grope her genitals.

Oh, yes....all boys do it. /S

Talking is beheading?

You are expressing a strong desire to be able to stamp out the free expression of political thought.

First you started with your insistence that fourteen and fifteen year olds groping the genitalia of kids under ten was no big deal.

Now you are advancing your agenda to insist that not only is it no big deal, but calling that nasty is Islamic.

Actually, Mohammad was all about slaughtering the father of a six year old to make her his sex thing and consuming that conquest at age nine.

That lines up squarely with insisting Josh didn't do anything that bad.

Why does condemnation of this pervert’s actions anger you so?

What on earth would make you want to defend him?

They’re a TV family. What do they mean to you?

There are some conservatives who absolutely fetishize this family. It’s a mystery to me...I’ve always found them creepy.

I haven't owned a television since March of 1995.

I am only vaguely aware of who these people are, so I do not view them any different than any other news story about people I was previously unaware of.

I'm a book person.

Even my computer has a little eight inch screen that's not great for watching anything longer than a short YouTube clip.
All the people who idolize these manufactured icons seem weird.

Again, you're lying POS. I never said it was no big deal. I said there was a difference between a child doing it and an adult and a difference in the way it is handled when a child does it.

The vast majority of children that engage in this acts aren't repeat offenders and end up being perfectly well-adjusted adults. That's why children are often not placed in juvenile detention and are given counseling instead.

It is also revolting not to acknowledge someone can repent to God, be redeemed and change.

You're a heartless, low-IQ blowhard that gives conservatives a bad name.

Because 1) he was young teen when he did this and young teens often get counseling and turn their lives around and 2) Duggar claims to have repented and gotten right with God.

Men that wrote the Bible did far worse. Yet, they were forgiven by God. Duggar claims to have repented and gotten right with God. I see no reason to pile on him and his family if that is true.

Some are also obsessed with condemning them. I understand the liberal motive in doing so (to try and smear Christians, homeschoolers, pro-lifers, those opposed to gay marriage) but not those here obsessed with doing so.

No, that is what you're doing. You're obsessed with Duggar and there has to be some reason for it.

Fifteen isn’t young. That’s highschool.
And it doesn’t matter how many times you try to trivialize the offender, he was still a high school student getting off on little kids.

And if you try to equivocation tomorrow, he will still have been a high school student being sexual with single digit age prepubescent kids.

Making that no big deal seems to be a fixation you just can’t get enough of, but it’s gross and harmful to the victims.
