Calling it “common sense” that placing adoptive children in the homes of gays does a “disservice” to kids and society, because they need to be in a home with both a mother and a father,, Rick Santorum once again showed the world why his name is defined as the “frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.” Speaking to CNS News, the former Pennsylvania senator says plainly, “I don’t believe in same-sex adoption nor do I believe in same-sex marriage.” And in case you’re wondering whether Santorum is toning down his rhetoric as he prepares for a possible 2012 presidential run, recall that it was only in October where, in a debate with Howard Dean, he insisted, “I don’t think we discriminate against gays any more than we discriminate against four people getting married…or a brother and a sister getting married.” Or should we wait for a repeat of his 2003 post-controversy statement, “My comments should not be misconstrued in any way as a statement on individual lifestyles.”

why do you give this asshat, who was thrown out of office any air time or publicity?

Senator Sanitarium is about as relevant to the political debate as the quitter Alaska governor, which is to say not at all. Could we have a cease fire on both of them for oh, say, a year or so?

More closeted gays bitching about men have the balls to be out and proud.

I moved to Portland because I used to live in Pennsylvania amongst the people who voted him into office.

God, this is so depressing.

It does bear mention that the meaning of his last name is now,
Santorum-noun-a frothy mix of fecal matter and lubricant, commonly a by product of anal sex.

Rick Santorum should check with adoptees who live with LGB singl.es or couples. Those adoptees are doing just fine, thank you. He clearly lacks the “common sense” he so regularly refers to.
The idea of him running for Pres. is enough to turn my stomach.

I would love to see a Palin/Santorum ticket come 2012, let the circus begin!!!

Poor thing. One of the biggest ditzes on the Right. Struggling for relevancy. He has an 18% approval rating among GOP (according to Gallup poll last week), and probably about 1% elsewhere.
Zero chance of presidency. Zero.

I felt like someone was slowly pouring a bucket of fish guts on my head while watching that nonsense.
Obama DID say DADT would happen on his watch... (John From England)
@Jeffree:
He doesn’t care. Do you not think he could do that? All he’d have to do is go on google and he’d see the amount of articles, blogs, research etc on same sex parenting.
You on the left have to realise that the right aren’t stupid or ignorant. They just don’t care. It doesn’t take more then a few minutes for any of those crazies from religion or in govt to go on google.

Santorum makes my skin crawl.

Santorum is one of the Biggest Assholes that ever came upon the political landscape. He will Get His for his ‘Holier than Thou’ approach to Life. Total Fraud……..Closeted in Every Sense of the Word.

By his logic, then, a widowed grandmother should not be allowed to raise her grandchild if her son or daughter were to die. Or a single brother or sister should not be allowed to care for the child of a deceased sibling.
I get that Santorum is bigoted (And smells like lube and fecal matter). But does he actually think these things, or is he just desperately trying to find something, ANYTHING that will justify his bigorty?
Because if he tried to think this through, then he isn’t a very bright guy.

Why is anyone talking about Rick Santorum? I just don’t get it. He’s become the J.D. Hayworth of the Northeast. He couldn’t get elected dogcatcher…not even the wingnuts take him seriously anymore. Fox News must have rejected him so he had to go on CSN…It’s actually quite sad actually…..

The audio is terrible. Basement News Network at its worst.

Against nature? A four-sided triangle is against nature and as such I’m for banning the perversion of non-Euclidean geometry.

“My comments should not be misconstrued in any way as a statement on individual lifestyles.”
Really, Santorum? So would he describe his alledged straight orientation a “lifestyle”? When he did he decide to choose it I wonder? Oh I know his answer will be..”I was born this way” the “normal” way.

I wonder if he still has the stillborn fetus his wife popped out several years back. Rememebr how he took it home from the hospital, gave it a name, and have his kids cuddle it as if it were a live baby?
No I am NOT making this up.

he’s always struck me as a closet case. don’t be surprised when he’s busted for toe-tapping…
just sayin’.

Best thing that DAN SAVAGE has ever done is let the nation know what a fucking tool this bastard is. I hope on his tomb stone it reads, “frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”
Cam
I’m LOVING this, Sara Palin has had the airwaves all to herself for months. She must be FURIOUS that somebody else is now hogging up all the conservative airtime. Let these two unelectable fools tear each other apart.
Black Pegasus
Most of you Self Loathing Gay Republicans would suck Rick’s Dick, and vote for him if you had a chance, so don’t pretend to be so appalled by his ignorance and hatred of the Gays.
Most of you voted republican last November, so just shut the fuck up with your manufactured anger.
Soupy
Just think of the presidential aspirants in the republican party making early noises. Santorum, Bachmann, Palin…it’s an embarrassment of riches. Or bitches.
Cam
I have a feeling that Dan Savage will definitly be ramping up his “Spreading Santorum” site if this guy runs. LOL!
Bobby
I wish “nature” would take care of Rick Santorum. A nice little stroke that would keep him from talking ever again of thinking would be the greatest gift from God.
christopher di spirito
Everytime Santorum ejaculates inside his wife it’s a violation of nature.
robert in NYC
Chris di Spirito, assuming he can get it up! Even if he can, I wonder if he thinks about guys??
Jeffree
@Christopher di Spirito: Promise me you’ll never ever talk about Ricky ejaculating*ever* again! The thought makes me hurl 😉
@Robert in NYC: Thinking about guyz is the only way Ricarda Santorum CAN get it up.
@Mrs. Santorum: Divorcing your husband doesn’t mean it’s all your fault. He was born that way.
Zzee
I would adore to watch this and leave a meaningful response, but I am going out in four hours and the outfit I was planning on wearing has a freaking santorum stain the size of Texas. Gotta start working on it with some OxyClean.
Danny
Politicians and ex-politicians need you to play their game, because it is quite obvious they have no power if you stop playing their game. It is the only way politicians get away with violating the human rights of millions.
robert in NYC
No. 29, Jeffree….your are toooooooooooo funny! Love your comments!

Sant*rum is a gross word and person. I even refrain from typing the word. I wonder if we can get parental blocking of the word and keep our school children from ever having to see the word or the person named the same.

Santorum sucks santorum
