Santorum believes Satan is attacking America. Romney believes it is Jesus’s brother that is attacking America.

Whatta perfect ticket: Mittens/Saint Rick 2012! VOTE AGAINST THE BROTHER DEVIL!

Santorum's advisers are frustrated and angry that reporters are focusing more on their candidate's statements about Satan than on his positions on the issues.

If they expected anything else they are incompetent. Exactly this behavior by the media has been predicted here multiple times.

As for Romney's more exotic Mormon beliefs, they're saving those for the general election if he gets the nom, which is what they expect.

He asked why Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, in addition to Romney, have not faced the level of questioning about religion that Santorum has.

Look, Santorum is the candidate who said just last October that he wanted to be a President who talked about the dangers of contraception. No one held a gun to his head and made him use the phrase "phony theology" or wax eloquent about how bad prenatal testing is. The fact that his staff is surprised at all the heat they're getting tells me they're simply not ready for prime time.

A biblical worldview includes the following beliefs:

•absolute moral truth exists
•the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches
•Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic
•a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works
•Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth
•God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today

I wonder if Santorum will appear with ashes on his forehead...

What is on your head, considering where you seem to keep it?

Simple, just blame the media. Saint Rick says he’s no manager, and no visionary, blame the media. Wacky Saint Rick loses in November? Blame the media.

Santorum interview

So, let’s put in the full quote and NOT JUST STOP at “I’m not a visionary”.

Here’s the entire quote in context:

“I’m not a manager. I’m not a visionary,” he told the crowd in an apparent reference to his GOP rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. “I’m a guy from a steel town who grew up understanding what made this country great and for the years that I’ve been involved in public life, put my heart and my effort on the line to make this country the kind of country that we all want to hand on to our children and grandchildren.”

Santorum also touched on the fight over who’s the real “Washington insider,” saying the only reason Romney wasn’t a Washington politician is because he lost his Senate race in 1994.

“You hear a lot of talk about who’s the insider and who’s the outsider in this race. There’s a guy that’s outside of Washington, who was not a senator or a congressman — not because he didn’t try — but because he never got elected,” he said. In contrast, Santorum added, he was someone who was “an outsider when he was inside” Washington.

Romney’s Mormon idiosyncrasies will be grilled over coals if he gets the nomination. Repubs have been too polite.

RE: Santorum interview

And what was the context of his discussion?

NO FUNDING FOR BIRTH CONTROL.

And he would be right about that.

If someone wants to get a condom or pills, there’s an easy way to do it -— GO TO THE DRUG STORE. It’s legal you know.

Newt will have ashes too then.

It’s ridiculous to discuss tenets of their religions. Discuss instead that everyone here has a right to believe how they choose, from atheists to any of the major faiths. Period. Catholics believe in Satan. Big whoop. It’s ok to follow your beliefs.

RE: Well I’m not with him on belief of the existence of the devil.

I guess that would put you in the minority then. But that’s OK, Santorum won’t force anyone to believe in him.
