DICK santorum
As I picked up 188 Pittsburgh Post-Gazettes, as I do 5 times a week for my dad, I read the headline on the front page: "Santorum: No apology". I knew immediately what it was referring to. I had heard of his stupid gruntings earlier in the day. He apparently was quoting a previous court ruling. At least that's what he barricaded his anal spincter with. Apparently, if you want to offend a particular group of people, just find an ignorant judge, quote him, and you're set.
Yeah, dick had the right to say that. A gay person who lives in a monogamous relationship in his own home is akin to someone who has multiple spouses, or a pervert that likes to finger his little daughter. Sound a little harsh? It's all in degrees. One remark resonates bigotry in one, and comfort in another. This dude's supposed to be a representative of his constitutents, me being one. I certainly don't feel that way, and I certainly don't feel like his butt buddy, Arlen Specter. He's still trying to explain the grassy knoll. Sweeping shit under the rug is his second nature. I'm supposedly living in a state that's progressive, near a city (Pittsburgh) that's THE place for young people to work. I have to buy a bottle of Merlot from a state operated store, and I have clients with a B.S. degree managing McDonalds.
Did I mention that Santorum's full of shit? He can have that goofy corn-fed smile with his mini-mullet, and he thinks he's cute. The only people that are behind him are the ones who believe God hates gays, or are terrified of them. It's about time these psycho-sexually defunct individuals can have a poster boy. I'm really not surprised this junior-high idol would come from Pennsylvania.
Ok, so here's his stance: Dicky has no problem with homosexuality, he has a problem with homosexual acts. First, most homosexuals don't really care if he has a problem with his wife's jock itch, let alone how he feels about them. It's like saying it's ok to be Catholic, but don't go to church. That's practicing a Catholic act. Your head can only go so for up your ass.
When Rick Santorum slips into his rightful place as the new political pariah, and Trent Lott gets some rest, no politician will give him a reach-around, not even with a glove. That's what happens when you're bigoted, I guess.
