This actually hits a personal note. Can't speak for fellow ass colonal silver (although we share the same pimp) but I've wanted for years to meet santorum in person. I've wanted to drop trou and grab his cute little butt cheeks for years..........chase him around the parking lot with a pitchfork in hand and a fetus in my pocket while blaring some cher or barbara streisand, my willy flappin in the breeze with a slight list in his direction.

and btw, fvck Santorum. he was the one who made some really assinine comment about the catholic priest molestation problem:

It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.

nice one rick. and here's a good riposte:

Reread it. Nope, try it again. Does it make sense yet? It's hard to wade through his guarded and passive syntax, but I think if one draws out the logic and translates it to plain English, you'd end up with something like "If people I call leftists think gay sex is good, and I think gay sex equals child molestation, then leftists think child molestation is good." Hey, thanks a lot for equating my monogamous, consensual and healthy relationship with repressed perverts raping and molesting children who are taught to trust them with their deepest secrets by an institution that is covering up a global phenomenon and often takes no action at all!

The Internet is not the place for sympathy or good taste, so calling these guys out is a waste.

But I did think more about this. Concession speeches are a necessary part of elections because you do need to address your supporters who worked very hard on your campaign.

But there is nothing in the Senator's Handbook that says you need to trot your family on stage. I know Santorum, even if never turns on the TV again, will regret embarassing his family and causing them suffering.

No one should laugh at children in the public eye, but ultimately it was Santorum's fault.

P.S. I would Nelson-laugh right in his face about losing, just not in front of his family.

Gabriel, in which his tiny physique is framed by his father's hand. <snip>

He and Karen brought Gabriel's body home so their children could "absorb and understand that they had a brother," Santorum says. "We wanted them to see that he was real," not an abstraction, he says. Not a "fetus," either, as Rick and Karen were appalled to see him described --


His son was a fetus. A baby, child, brother, a human, cannot be framed by an adult hand. It was the beginnings of these concepts, not their full realization. This says nothing about his right to mourn the situation which I fully support.

So no, it's not tough. It's kind of creepy. The fact that someone else brought it up in this thread is proof that I'm not the only one who thinks so. He's a freak, with freak ideas that he tries to legislate over others who don't share and should not be subjected to his mania. It's unfortunate that this particular one is of the most mild variety in light of some of his other beliefs. (see homosexuality and it's ties to beastiality and incest)

So yes, because of who he is and the manner in which he expresses his views, I gladly criticize him when his twisted views show themselves in somewhat sick ways.

Do you think bringing home a fetus is a partisan issue? I think it is just weird, and I am sure some voters in Penn thought the same way.

You mean real republicans like Goldwater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater). Most of those went extinct years ago :disgust1:

Goldwater viewed abortion as a matter of personal choice, not intended for government intervention. In fact, his own daughter, Joanne, chose to have an abortion before her first marriage at the age of 20, and he supported her decision. He was also not against gays in the military. As a passionate defender of personal liberty, he saw the religious right's views as an encroachment on personal privacy and individual liberties. In his 1980 Senate re-election campaign, Goldwater won support from religious conservatives but in his final term voted consistently to uphold legalized abortion.[citation needed] Even in matters of foreign policy, Goldwater disagreed with Reagan and his supporters; he opposed the decision to mine Nicaraguan harbors. Notwithstanding his prior differences with Dwight Eisenhower, Goldwater in a 1986 interview rated him the best of the seven Presidents with whom he had served.

After his retirement, in 1987, Goldwater described the conservative Arizona Governor Evan Mecham as "hardheaded" and called on him to resign, and two years later stated the Republican Party had been taken over by a "bunch of kooks." In a 1994 interview with the Washington Post the retired Senator said, "When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." He said about Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass," in response to Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court where Falwell said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." [3]

In the 1990s he became more controversial because of statements that aggravated many social conservatives. He endorsed Democrat Karan English in an Arizona congressional race, urged Republicans to lay off Clinton over the Whitewater scandal, and criticized the military's ban on homosexuals: "Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar." He also said, "You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight." In 1996 he told Bob Dole, who mounted his presidential campaign with luke-warm support from hard-line conservatives, "We're the new liberals of the Republican Party. Can you imagine that?"

The current republician party is all about vote pandering and enriching themselves. Their main skill is doublespeak. Their version of fiscal responsibility is doubling the national debt. Their version of a less intrusive government is to lock you up if you don't conform.

The gay marriage bans are a perfect example. Either marriage is a religious sacrament or a civil contract. If it's a holy "sacrament" then it's up to each religion to decide what it means, and who can marry. If it's a civil contract, then the state has no business in applying one religion's values to it. Personally I think the term "marriied" should stricken from the tax code and replaced with household. A household would be defined as one or more income earning adults AND one or more dependents.

The modern republican party wants more regulation of people and less of business. That's what smaller government means to them.

The exact wording would have to be discussed. The "married" tax status was supposed to give adults raising the next generation a break on taxes. I'm not sure if Dual Incone No Kids couples should qualify for that for household status, regardless of their sexual orentation or marital status. On the other hand the aging of the country has left a lot of adults having to care for their elderly parents. Which makes them a household with dependents, which should get a pretty sizable tax break in my book.

Not sure about the intentions of the married tax status, but for most families, there is a marriage penalty (http://www.savewealth.com/news/9905/marriagepenalty.html), not a benefit.

Perhaps the tax code is really written to punish those stupid enough to get married. Heck, :imstupid: too.

I don't understand the marriage penalty thing. If a couple files individually doesn't the tax code just consider them as individuals? Are people bitching because they both can't file individually and claim the same deductions?

The exact wording would have to be discussed. The "married" tax status was supposed to give adults raising the next generation a break on taxes. I'm not sure if Dual Incone No Kids couples should qualify for that for household status, regardless of their sexual orentation or marital status. On the other hand the aging of the country has left a lot of adults having to care for their elderly parents. Which makes them a household with dependents, which should get a pretty sizable tax break in my book.
Taxes aren't the only concern, however. There's also spousal privilege, inheritance, visitation rights, power of attorney, etc.

Edit: Don't want to sound like I'm arguing, because I'm not. I just wanted to point out that there's more to things than dependents and tax status.

I was forced to do some research and the Marriage Penalty for US Income tax actually ended in 2003. In 2002 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2002.pdf), a couple making 40k and 44k each would have paid $16,483 on their combined 84k income if they were married, but only $15,386 if they were not married... an $1,100 difference. In 2005 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf), marrieds in the same financial situation will actually save $7 (woohoo!).

These tax rate savings are due to sunset in 2010 (http://marriage.about.com/od/finances/a/marriagepenalty.htm), and will come back to the full penalty rates unless Congress does something to stop it. With the Democrats now controlling Congress, what do you think will happen? :poster_oops:

I don't take it as arguing. ;) I think there are a of of implications of "married" status in various federal laws that simply aren't true anymore. There would have to be a lot of discussion, and some haggling over wording.
