“Still trying to figure out why anybody cares what Rick Santorums opinion on polygamy is. “
He was way ahead on this issue and was ridiculed for what he said.
To: Rome2000
Nobody cares about the messenger, but the message is correct in this case.

Ridiculed by American communists and sex perverts, but stating the obvious hardly rises to anything astounding.
This douchebag endorsed Arlen Specter.

I’m not against polygamy. Some of the people in the Bible had multiple wives. Myself, I can’t afford another wife, one is enough.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of men heading to the Philippines, Thailand, Ukraine and Russia the day after it’s legalized.

No, it’s not astounding, and yes, he remains a d-bag. I agree with this particular statement-how can I say otherwise when it’s the truth?-but that’s not an endorsement of Santorum. He just happens to be the one who said it in the thread to which I’m responding.
Satan knows that God exists and admits it. As a fundamentalist Christian, I hardly endorse Satan. But as to the existence of God, he is correct.

Let me add that it astounds me more that Satan admitted the existence of God, as he is the father of lies. But every knee must bow before God, even if it takes until judgement day.

Wow... I recognized the Furies... and was actually thinking Orestes. They actually taught this stuff in my highschool once upon a time... just my memory is not what it ought to be.

Why would any sane woman want more than 1 husband? 2 husbands= twice the beer stains on the couch and when football season rolls around you’re a widow twice over!

“So almost 60% supposedly are fine with same-sex marriage, but 83% disapprove of polygamy? Huh?”
Do not look for any logic, reasoning or consistency there. It only means that the homosexualist propaganda machine has had much more time to brainwash the gullible public than the polygamists have. Which makes sense since polygamists are usually busy with working, their wives and their children and lack the free time that the homosexualists have to advance their agenda.

Are you saying I don’t have this right former Senator Santorum?

In other words, Utah polygamists cant be discriminated against now, but they still cant get married.
No, they can’t have multiple marriage licenses. They will still cohabit as if married because in their minds they are.

Yeah, all those who have allowed themselves to be cowed by popular culture into ‘accepting’ homosexual marriage, are going to start feeling pretty stupid when polygamy gets pushed by the same folks.

Unlike homosexual marriage, which has never existed anywhere before, to my knowledge, polygamy has a long history and track record. It’s the more traditional of the two, so to speak.

I was at a party organized by an Orthodox synagogue a few weeks ago. There were many more women than men, many in their thirties. I asked one of the rabbis if it is true that the Rabbi Gershom's ruling banning polygamy had expired recently. He explained that it actually expired 700 years ago. However, it was a moot point for two reasons. First, the law of the land is held to be supreme here. Second he asked "who would want to be blessed with two Jewish mother-in-laws". Seeing his wife nearby, he quickly added "and not everyone will be as fortunate as me here."
His wife, who was in ear shot the whole time chimes in. "I have such a good husband. He is trying to set up my baby sister. No one of you boys put down the drink and go talk to her." After glancing at her and seeing her dress, she then said "Finish your drink first and bring another. "
The younger girl was blessed with neither looks nor wit.
