Santorum Backer Foster Friess Apologizes for Contraception Comment

I suspect most of the women posting here were told by their mother that sure fire way to avoid pregnancy was to keep your legs crossed.

On the other hand to get “knocked up” just do everyone and thing including the kitchen door knob!

It's a hoot watching female libtards talking stupid!

I thought it was a great line! Too bad he had to back track, but I understand why he did. Andrea Mitchell was appalled. BFD in my mind. She’s a tool anyways. He was simply telling it like it used to be in this country.

According to wiki, Andrea Mitchell was born 1946 so she must have heard this old joke when she was younger. It was all an act on her part to further the "anti-woman" meme being used against conservatives.

"I thought it was a great line! Too bad he had to back track, but I understand why he did. Andrea Mitchell was appalled. BFD in my mind. She’s a tool anyways. He was simply telling it like it used to be in this country."

So was Greta Van Susteran who got an apparently embarrassed Santorum to call it a stupid joke.

The article you posted is on the CBS news website, and it references both Foster Freiss’ website and this morning’s CBS interview of Santorum.

Did you see Santorum being interviewed by Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning?

He should have told Mitchell that the aspirin would not work with bend over bowlegged woman like her.

[Mr. K]

What the hell is he apologizing for anyway????????

OMG a ‘Santorum Supporter’ told a JOKE!!!

What about ‘Obama Supporter’ Jeremiah Wright saying “God Damn America”??

[WilliamofCarmichael]

I am puzzled by the outrage (feigned?) expressed against the aspirin between the knees comment. It was good to see the CBS employee act like a real journalist and explain the aspirin comment in the posted article.

In my day it REALLY was a lighthearted way of saying that if you don't want to get pregnant don't have sex.

But most important -- a really good thing! Senator Santorum lit into a MSM employee and did not let up. He hit hard on how the MSM look the other way vis-a-vis ALL controversies and Obama.

Maybe the other Republicans will get the courage to FINALLY stand up to the MSM employees.

[KittenClaws]

Can just ONE conservative NOT apologize for such a benign and truthful statement?

[allmendream]

I don't know about that.

As far as precipitating full scale disaster based upon religious fanaticism instead of a realistic view of the situation - the Knights Templars are hard to top.

[Mortrey]

Shouldn’t have apologized. It’s common sense.

When welfare pays for Viagra for men in New York, and Bath-House Barry wants taxpayers to fund birth control, Friess is the LAST person who needs to apologize.

#40 on the 1963 Communist Goals list entered into the Congressional Record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) calls for “discredit(ing) the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.”

[SpringtoLiberty]

You’re right we definitely do NOT want a leader who stands by there religious beliefs in the face of “reality”.

What we need is pragmatism and compromise. On a national level for sure. But more on a personal level I think.

We should all just look at the reality that our country and countrymen don’t believe what the bible has to say and compromise our own beliefs to fit that.

That sounds like a great idea to me. It has worked so well over the last 50 years that we should double down I think.

[pallis]

I wouldn’t apologize. The fact that the DNC media have made such a fuss over Friess’s statement demonstrates how pig ignorant they are of older Americans who don’t like the cultural corruption going on around them. It’s as if older voters who appreciate the moral virtues of the past have no right to an opinion, or even a right to hear someone in the public theater say something that reflects their views. I guess suggesting women should have a little virtue is sleazy by today’s perverted standards.

[Iron Munro]

"Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives, The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."

He's 100% right.

People would tell you that a penny did the job just as good as an asprin.

This was a common observation and comment back in the days when people were still free to speak the truth.

Now, there is no greater sin in the Diversified, Politically Correct, Disjointed States Of Obama-Land than telling the truth.

I am a Newt supporter, and don't necessarily want to be the water-carrier for the Santorum campaign, but I ran across this article on Foster Friess by TIME and it does make him look like a very worthy man. Wish he had stuck to his guns, because whoever you support, the liberal "yellow journalism" media is our dedicated enemy. Link to the TIME article. ~A.~

I think that 'aspirin-between-the-knees' thing was from Dear Abby or Ann Landers

.

[Night Hides Not]

Well, we know that a $100 bill didn’t work with Mary Matalin.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Like Herman Cain said in a debate not long ago...”America needs a sense of humor!”

[allmendream]

Well when Saladin was marching on Jerusalem and laid siege to the citadel of Tiberius - the owner of the castle and the husband of the woman leading its defenses, Raymond of Tripoli- called upon the army to STAY WHERE THEY WERE - with good pasture and water.

The Knights Templar advised the King that they could not stay there and see “Christian womanhood in peril” and that God would see them victorious.

Saladin was victorious.

Religious fanaticism unencumbered by any reference to actual reality is a great formula for disaster - one the Knights Templar excelled at!

Why, were you attempting to use them as a historic example of how people SHOULD act?

That right there is funny!

[Mangia E Statti Zitto]

I just heard Rush, who seems to be a strong Santorum supporter, say he wished Santorum hadn’t thrown Friess under the bus.

[Iron Munro]

He should have told Mitchell that the aspirin would not work with bend over bowlegged woman like her.

She could use a spare tire off a Jeep.

Or just show her birth certificate.
