Oh, Iowa! You’ve screwed up now. You have Rick Santorum thinking he has a chance at actually capturing the Republican nomination. It isn’t going to happen. There isn’t a serious GOP elite that is going to allow him to pursue his agenda of state mandated morality. Also, he has a bit of a Google problem. Besides that, allowing Santorum to win the nomination would all but guarantee the election for President Obama. If only we were that lucky.

Rick Santorum is a one issue candidate. Sure, he’ll spout some lobbyist fed nonsense about job killing regulations, and blah, blah, blah. However, rest assured, he only cares about 1 thing: what kind of sex people are having. Check out some of the gems he’s uttered over the years:

“And that’s sort of where we are in today’s world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn’t have rights to limit individuals’ wants and passions.”

“In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That’s not to pick on homosexuality. It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —”

“If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then 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.”

The man literally wants to be able to intrude on a consenting adult’s sexual activities because he thinks it is going to somehow hurt “society.” I would argue this with him, but frankly, what’s the point? People that want to be able to control the way others find love and happiness can’t be reasoned with. Their dogma is too entrenched, and their convictions are too strong.

I just hope he actually wins the nomination. He’ll make an ass of himself on a national stage, and he’ll take the GOP down with him.

P.S. I would be remiss if I didn’t add to his aforementioned Google problem.
