I want Newt to have a comeback too.

When Santorum made that cringe worthy comment about women in the military being emotional, I thought, “uh oh”.

But for now, both Newt and Rick are shaking Mitt’s confidence which is a good thing.. and hopefully, he’ll have a meltdown at the next debate if they push the right buttons..
He is wired so tightly anyway. Has he not heard of Xanex?

Santorum did not say women in the military are emotional.

He said their are issues with emotion related to women being in combat units.

As a retired Army chaplain, I can guarantee you that he’s right.

Here is Santorum's exact quote:

But I - I have - I do have concerns about women in front line combat. I think that could be a - a very compromising situation where - where people naturally, you know, may do things that may not be in the interests of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved.

He isn't even talking about women's emotions. He's talking about "people's" emotions.

He's referring to a variety of things that could happen in relationships between men and women in combat units. People in love trying to save each other, squabbles of competition for the affection of some male or female, lack of command clarity because of relationships. There are a whole host of things I could list.

But....who cares what he actually said.

It's much more fun to let the MSM sensationalize things with misquotes taken out of context.
