And I, for one, like men’s natural protective instincts towards women, I count on them, and evoke them when I can :). I replied to someone earlier, I am from a military family, and don’t support women in combat frontline positions for lots of reasons.
But there are a million more things like this that are out there, some worse, much worse from Sanctimonium. He turns a lot of republicans off with his holier-than-thou, strident rigidity and judgmentalness... the general public is going to consider him some sort of bizarre monster.
The cry here when Newt was getting sliced and diced was let
him get vetted - we need strong candidates who can withstand what obama will throw at them. It didn’t matter if most of the stuff was totally false or extremely misrepresentative...
And what this thread proves, is when Santorum supporters get the kind of stuff thrown at them that was thrown at Newt for weeks at a time, while he stayed positive, they respond with you hate, you ugly, head up your ass... this does not bode well...
I sometimes cried at the mean stuff posted here about Newt, I probably shouldn’t admit to that, but unless I was called a name first, or several times, I defended him with facts and ideas and arguments... Sanctimonium supports, most of them, can’t do that. They just fling...
If you can handle it, I'll give you some facts. Hell, even if you can't handle it, I'll post it anyways.
I have an aunt who passed away last October. She served as an Army nurse on active duty for 26 years with duty in both Korea and Vietnam, retiring as a full Colonel in the early 1970's. That's a fact.
In 2005 she celebrated her 80th birthday. Our family sent letters to members of the PA congressional delegation asking if they would care to participate in, or recognize her birthday.
One member of the delegation bothered to respond.
That member sent a very personal letter thanking my aunt for her years of service and her dedication to the defense of this nation.
That member was Senator Santorum.
That sir, is a fact.
To post something that suggests, or misrepresent's Santorum's views on women in uniform, is dishonest.
I know better.
