Not only are his views extreme but I understand that soon news will surface about him being somehow involved in some taxpayer paid sex ring in Washington D.C.

He evidently would be in favor of banning condoms or would encourage the states to because he's Catholic (according to this article) by Dan Savage.
Rick Santorum wants to ban straight sex freedoms, too: Dan Savage on Young Turks - Last Word
''What a lot of people will wake up to, as they get more familiar with Rick Santorum, is that he has an anti-straight freedom agenda. He doesn't have just an anti-gay agenda. He has an anti-straight agenda when it comes to reproductive freedom, when it comes to birth control, when it comes to masturbation, pornography -- all sorts of things that heterosexuals enjoy very much.

''Rick Santorum has an agenda to ban it because his faith dictates that 'because he's a Catholic, you shouldn't be allowed to use birth control.' ... [T]he overwhelming majority of Catholics do use birth control. And as straight people will wake up to the fact that anti-gay bigots are also anti-straight bigots, we're going to see Rick Santorum's numbers fall and fall fast.''

Santorum is a religious extremist, who cares more about creating a theocracy than actually improving this nation. Anyone who votes for him is clearly the same type of person and belongs in the Middle East, not America.

I do, however, expect a gay scandal to emerge in Santorum's future.

It's a huge stretch, but certainly possible.

Well he seems to strongly oppose sex in general.He seems to be much more fixated on catholic moral issues than even the pope is...perhaps he missed his calling.That hardly makes him gay,or even if he has those leanings doesn't mean he has ever acted upon them.I just don't think making predictions out of thin air is particularly constuctive.If this particular one did it would be pretty funny though.

Santorum.

I have run out of words to describe him.

....and I am Catholic and think he is a nutjob.

Agree. He has to be hiding something. Any day now someone will release pictures of Rick and a cabana boy in the supply closet.

I hope they have a good camera.

I don't think Santorum has a gay bone in him. I don't know why he hates and fears the gay so much, either, but he is obviously obsessed with them.

I was stunned when he said he wanted contraception restricted, and that sex should be practiced for procreation more than only pleasure... that really sounds like the makings of an American Taliban to me!

Who, in their right mind, would approve of anyone to intrude on their private lives in their homes, no matter what their sexual orientation is? What would be the next step with this guy? Sex Police?

I asked my neighbor lady about this. She's 79, and watched the debates. She said "Well, if Santorum ever broke into my bedroom, if my husband didn't shoot him, I would! We enjoy our relations now a lot more than when we were young!"

I laughed... and so did she.
