That is the quote from Rick Santorum, as said to Eric Konigsberg, the author of the article which appeared in Philadelphia Magazine in December 1995.
You may have your own ideas about the quality of the magazine, but it has been around since the 1960's, monthly on both the newsstands and by subscription, and is definitely not a "city paper" type of periodical.
Show me in the article where the source of that quote is given. That’s the point. It isn’t.
[That is the quote from Rick Santorum, as said to Eric Konigsberg]
I don’t see it in there.
Looks to me that the title itself is a Lampoonish means of baiting readers into clicking into the rabbit hole — wherein it becomes evident that there are real questions regarding the candidate’s character that should be vetted.
For example, if someone is in a relationship (regardless of state-religious sanctification) and a third party covets one of the members of that relationship for himself - is the third party's covetousness not still prohibited?
Ex 20:14
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
NIV
Ex 20:17
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
NIV
Obviously such notions aren't "fiscally" conservative, but - once upon a time - they were considered to be CONSERVATIVE, before the RINOs came along with their demoralized NewSpeak dictionary.
