Rick should know better. Sheesh.
And if he says he is a bird he can crap on statues in public parks.
People don’t know that Santorum supported Specter for 2010, not just 2004, and here is what Santorum supported for republicans in 1996.

Arlen Specter announces for the White House, with endorsee, Rick Santorum at his side.
At Senator Arlen Specter’s official presidential campaign announcement in March 1995, then-Senator Rick Santorum showed his public support and encouragement of Specter by sitting directly next to him as Specter denounced the GOP’s war on abortion. It was at this event that Specter proclaimed his total opposition to social conservatism and declared he is in fact running to make the GOP pro-choice.
Santorum is seen nodding and applauding at Specter’s side:
3:46 mark: “In 1996, I intend to win the other house — the White House — with ten commitments to America… Especially a woman’s right to choose…
13:22 mark: “Even though we have this historic opportunity for these achievements, there are those in our party who would lead us down a different path — and squander this unique moment in our nation’s history — by using our political capital — to pursue a radical social agenda — that would end a woman’s right to choose…
13:48 mark: “When Pat Robertson says there is no constitutional doctrine of separation between Church and State, I say he is wrong…
14:31 mark: “When Ralph Reed says a pro-choice Republican isn’t qualified to be our President, I say the Republican Party will not be intimidated or blackmailed by those kinds of threats.I, and millions of other pro-choice Republicans, will not be disenfranchised and made second class citizens.
15:33 mark: “… it is not Christian, or religious, or Judeo-Christian to bring God into politics; or to advocate intolerance and promote exclusion.
15:54 mark: “I want to take abortion out of politics. I want to keep the Republican Party focused on the vital economic and foreign policy issues — and leave moral issues such as abortion to the conscience of the individual. I believe abortion is an issue to be decided by women…
16:40 mark: “I pledge to lead the fight to strip the strident anti-choice language from the Republican National platform…”
17:05 mark: “neither this nation nor this party can afford a republican candidate so captive to the demands of the intolerant right...
If the GOP generally accepted Homosexuality and it’s many deviations, I’d be so done with said GOP.
It's not "if"; it already has.
His pope finally got to him.
The primary season will be interesting then. Each of the candidates will be so careful about this issue. Either they will embrace the dark side and tell us that it's fine or they will face the music of saying "homosexuality is bad". Oh how they wish this issue would go away.
Imagine wishing Baltimore would go away but not being willing to discuss the idea that having kids out of wedlock is bad.
OH rats, I guess we are already there now too.
If Rick Santorum’s states he is a brain dead idiot, than he is a brain dead idiot!
Sweater Vest Boy is now way past 15 minutes.
This one thing turned me against Rick Santorum. I voted for him every time he ran. I argued for him with my friends many times. I thought he was a prime candidate for president.
After this fiasco about Bruce Jenner, I no longer would pull for him. As a matter of fact I would no longer vote for him for any office. It was a serious mistake for him to even address this issue. Bruce Jenner is a very confused man. He is a man and will remain a man till the day he dies. They can mutilate his body and feed him hormones, but they cannot change his sex.
For Rick Santorum to get involved in this was a serious mistake. A man cannot be made into a woman and a woman cannot be made into a man. Santorum knows this and was hoping to gain some votes with this. Sorry he lost a few.
**************************
I'm not sorry. I have always thought that he was a weak candidate. Best to have his deficiency revealed now, so that we can focus on better candidates.
Strange but perhaps not all that surprising. Santorum is all about old-school Catholicism in his views on sexual morality, and traditional Christianity has much criticism of homosexuality, but I’ve never heard a faith-based criticism of transgenderism, although vast numbers of people, myself included, find it unnatural and repulsive on secular grounds.
I wonder, though, if Santorum realizes that by accepting transgender identity, he’s letting homosexual marriage in the back door. After all, if you ban homosexual marriage but accept transgender identities, a male homosexual who wants to marry a man can just call himself a woman.
Rick witnessed it personally? Jesus is a fiction, but Bruce is a real woman, ya know.
“RE: “If he says he’s a woman, then he’s a woman”
Then why use the pronoun ‘He’?”
Perhaps hes not the sharpest tool in the shed, if your willing to believe any lye anyone tells you. Perhaps like Obama he will be willing to believe Russia is not a threat when Russia says so, or that Iran will not build nukes or ship weapons to terrorist when they say so.
Rick Santorum should be smart enough to keep his mouth shut if he can’t keep his words true.
Santorum is making a fool of himself with this desperate pandering. You can’t have it both ways, Rick. Candidates who have the integrity to say that the emperor has no clothes. Which candidates are honest enough to say that they know as sure as the sun rises that the following need psychology help for the environmental and childhood traumas that lead to males who envy female genitalia and the women who envy the male genitalia.
WRONG!
Every cell in his body has the XY chromosome. He is only, ever, at all, male. A freaky male, to be sure, but a male.
“...If he says he’s a woman, then he’s a woman...”
No sir — if he has “x/y” chromosome pair, then the gender is male. If the person has “x/x” chromosome pair, then the gender is female.
Anything else is playing “dress-up” and Santorum, as a potential Presidential candidate, should know that.
The issue is not whether Jenner is male or female. We all know he is male. The issue is whether or not Jenner should be commonly regarded as “weird” or “unusual” for his penchant for playing “dress-up” as an adult.
I’m a little teapot!
If he is a woman, then his medals are forfeit
