Rick has been taking heat about the abortion thing for years. He and his wife had a child (Michael, I believe) who was not to live past a few weeks after birth due to a fatal amalatiy. He and his wife refused to abort the boy and instead made the best of the few days they had with him.

Imagine the tragedy to their family: four little ones who are thinking they are getting a little brother. Imagine the anguish of his wife knowing she is going to deliver a child who is doomed to die. They courage is greater than mine, I can tell you that. I don't know how they did it.

Faith, hope and God are great tools for us all. The whole thing makes all my problems seem small.

Every one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence would have lumped homosexual behavior into the same pot of perversion as bestiality, adultery, incest, et al. And rightfully so. In fact, so would have just about every US citizen up until the last three decades or so.

Rick Santorum is a rare individual. there aren't very many who would put voice to doubt about rights manufactured by the Supreme Court. Yes, we are private citizens and our lives are our own, but it's gotten out of hand. He called them on it.

Santorum deserves all the support he can get from us. He deserves it. There is no malace in anything he says, no hate. Unlike those who attack him.

On the face of it, this statement seems confusing. Is Santorum equating homosexuality with incest? What exactly does he mean here?

I don't think he can equate heterosexual incest with homosexuality. While it may be sick at least it's heterosexual. The only activity on his list that comes close to the perversion of homosexuality is beastiality.

Its too bad articles like this aren't getting more play nationally, rather than "mainstream" conservatives babbling on about this not being the "face" of the Republican party, or this isn't Bush's "compasionate" conservative message, or this is too scarey to be criticised by "everyone" and they begin to pee down their legs.

I've got a question for you Bush defenders. Why is it that you are taking sides with Olympia Snow and John McCain? If that's you definition moderate-new face of the Republican party, then you can keep your vote. We don't want you. Stay home on election day, dithering weak-kneed cowards.
