Santorum also called for an end to full health care coverage of pre-natal amniocentesis procedures "because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and therefore less care that has to be done, because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society."
Santorum also stated that federal and state support for public education is "anachronistic." He forgot to mention that if federal and state funding for public education is withdrawn, there won't be any public education.
Yesterday at a church in Georgia, Santorum obliquely suggested that America under President Obama is like 1930s Germany under Hitler.
These statements aren't "taken out of context," they ARE the context of Santorum's stump speeches.
The man is ramping up his narrowly ideological and religious campaign. These very explicit campaign "positions" are goofy, erratic, offensively ignorant and frighteningly irrelevant to any national political debate that seems important right now.
What about jobs, the continuing home mortgage debacle, American infrastructure investment, smarter Wall Street regulation, global climate change, Iranian nuclear threats?….go ahead and add on the real issues you care about…
Let's not go crazy, let's concentrate on doing the right thing.
What about the Constitution of the United States and even those of the individual states? What about rule of law as oppose to dictates from Obama? What about the Fed's taking without due process? Are you saying we sacrifice our rights and freedoms as citizens for some crummy job that cost tax payers 250000? George Burns knew better!!!
