“Who’d have imagined that in the worst economy since The Great Depression, Republicans would spend so much time enmeshed in the nether regions of American voters”

This is an out and out lie. It is the Democrats and their stooges in the MSM who keep talking about contraception and similar topics and who keep misrepresenting what Republican candidates do and say. They keep lying about Republicans and then criticizing Republicans for the lies the MSM keep repeating.

This is an out and out lie. It is the Democrats and their stooges in the MSM who keep talking about contraception and similar topics and who keep misrepresenting what Republican candidates do and say.

Doesn't help that we have one candidate who does think as President he should speak out against contraception and tell us all that it is "not okay". Here is Santorum saying exactly that this past October:

"One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that’s okay. Contraception’s okay.' It’s not okay because it’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."

Santorum believes contraception is "not okay". He is on record saying that. He is on record saying as President he thinks he should talk about. So long as we have a candidate in the race at/near front runner status who says these kinds of things, this focus on contraception and the like will not go away. Sure, it is an MSM/Democrat trap, but Santorum's own words will make it an issue - and he is not disciplined enough to shut up about it.

With Santorum, if it isn't this dopey issue, it will just be something else. He will end up talking about why women should stay home and have more babies, or why we have to crack down on internet porn, or some other non-economic issue that ends up hurting us rather than helping defeat Obama.
