How many legs does a dog have if you call its tail a leg?
Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

Paying a "surgeon" to get oneself emasculated, ingesting large quantities of artificial hormones, and pretending to be a woman falls into the category of "behavior".
If Rick can't figure that out on his own, he probably isn't smart enough or sensible enough to be President.
I think a lot of male business owners should now claim they are a woman, and heck, Native American, too, to claim any and sll tax breaks possible.
Jenner’s a woman like Santorum will ever be President.
What a phony!
“Rick Santorum on Bruce Jenner: “If he says he’s a woman, then he’s a woman”
That’s stupid.
“My responsibility as a human being is to love and accept everybody.”
Even stupider.
“My prayers are with Bruce Jenner, who’s obviously suffering from a profound mental illness.”
I knew there was a sliver of competence in there somewhere.
Mad people say they are something other than what they are all the time.
Well Brucinda Rick has it bad for you girl; lips as sweet as candy; keep it up girl Rick is hooked on feeling; high on believing...Boom Schakalacka!
/S
“If he says he’s a puppy, then he’s a puppy,” Santorum, who is weighing running for president again in 2016, said in response to a question from BuzzFeed News . . . “My responsibility as a human being is to love and accept everybody . . . I think we have to look at it in a way that is compassionate and respectful of everybody.”
“So these are tough issues. I haven’t got into the whole issue, and I don’t think the federal government should get into the whole issue of leash laws for trans-species puppies,” Santorum said . . . “I think those are things that the business community and local agencies and organizations should deal with.”
He’s not alone. “The conservative response to Jenner is somewhere between a doggie treat and a shrug,” writes Dave Weigel.
“What he is going through, I can’t imagine or relate to . . . I’m looking for people that would help me take the country in a new direction. That group is going to have to be more diverse.”
Did Graham think that Jenner really was born to be a puppy? “I can only say that it is clear he is a tortured soul,” Graham said.”
Sounds like a Rick Santorum position Dan Savage could really get behind!
And if he says he is a bird he can crap on statues in public parks.
If the GOP generally accepted Homosexuality and it’s many deviations, I’d be so done with said GOP.
His pope finally got to him.
If Rick Santorum’s states he is a brain dead idiot, than he is a brain dead idiot!
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.
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.
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.
