Check out the last paragraph - the AP reporter was a former DSCC official and is the wife of Kerry's campaign manager (talk about incest). Now, would we ever know this little factoid if Fox News and the "new media" did not exist?

Some Republican sources are quietly raising questions about the reporter who first quoted Santorum and who is continuing to report on the conflict it created. Her name is Lara Jakes Jordan. She is married to Jim Jordan, a former DSCC official who now manages Kerry's campaign.


Big fat coincidence, of course.

Hang tough, Santorum. Don't let the Homo Rights Campaign make you cave.

He is in the mainstream. He's voicing what people think.

The majority have stayed silent for so long because of the decade of repression of speech fostered by the left. It is time to acknowledge that there are standards in the country that cross a broad spectrum of people, but are still the norm.

we believe he should pay a price for those comments," said David Smith

Where are all of the Hollywood pro-free speechers on this??

Admin, can you correct the title?

I guess that free speech thing that so many peace protestors and Hollywood activists used as a shield against criticism does not extend to Senator Santorum. He still "supports" the gays, he just doesn't support their actions.

Certainly we can expect the Hollywood leftists to support Santorum's right to free speech. Right.

It seems like the Democrats take a poll, find out that most Americans are uncomfortable with homosexuality, and then establish their position "support homosexuality at all costs" in spite of the poll results.

Is that party trying to shoot itself in the foot on every policy issue?

Nope. The "old" media sees nothing wrong or conflict of interest with a "reporter" being married to a campaign manager of a demo Presidential candidate.

Now if a reporter is married to a Pubbie official, the old media would be having a case of the vapors over this "shocking" conflict of interest.

"you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."

It's all about embracing abnormal,deviant behavior isn't it? Where's the hole in his logic? I've always felt this way about legalising deviant relationships.

Expect more of these ill timed off the wall attacks, now that the war of Iraq is not on the front page. The enemies of the American Public will try one by one to remove anyone who stands for some kind of decency.

"I do not need to give an apology based on what I said and what I am saying now. I think this is a legitimate policy discussion ... These are not ridiculous comments. These are very much very important points and ones that most members of Congress are concerned about," Santorum told Fox News.

Satorum's exact words have been published. Maybe I am missing something, but when I read them I don't see the big offense. He has been taken way out of context.

What is really important now is if the Republican party will rally around what is right, defending one of their own and not cowering as they did when Dan Quayle made his Murphey Brown speech. Santorum's comments, at least as I read them, are not far off the mark. They are no cause for criticism and the Republican party should be putting this issue to rest with strong showing of support for Santorum.

Santorum should absolutely NOT step down because of this, and conservatives everywhere should take the left to the mat over this. This has nothing to do with gay rights. It has to do with Constitutional interpretation. Sodomy laws have been constitutionally permissible in this country for more than 200 years. The Supreme Court does not have the power to change the Constitution by judicial fiat just because societal attitudes have changed, or because the Supreme Court thinks they have. If the gay community doesn't like these laws, it should address its outrage to the Texas legislature, not the Supreme Court.

Nonetheless, gay activists were quick to express outrage.

When you publicly speak against and bring to light the Devil's activities you can expect deadly retaliation to be vomitted up by the Devil's followers!

Do not fear the Devil's response, he has no power, for he walketh about as a roaring lion seeking whom he MAY devour, only with that which you freely give to him of your will can he cause you to err.

I can't believe I used the word 'hole' -- talk about a red flag . . .
