Yeah, cuz its a guarantee that all children will follow in their parents footsteps. If the parents don't smoke, their children will never smoke. If the parents are hard working, famous and successful people, their children will be also.

Some people can't waste any opportunity, no matter how off topic they need to go, in order to bash Christians.

Don't you have any actual substantive arguments against Santorum you could be making?
None of em do. It's all nonsense and lies. The usual left MSM smears. Santorum is gonna ban rubbers, santorum is gonna force everybody to go to church. In reality it's obama who is the one forcing people to do things they don't want but when the twisting and spinning starts it never stops. People are so stupid anymore if the talking machine placed in front of their couch says something it has to be true it seems.

Well, they're both “phony theologies” as she said so, yeah, I can see how one could get them mixed up. Islam's body count is much higher though so I can see how the Muslims might get offended at being compoared to rank amatures like the eco-nazis.

This guy is such a liar and a hypocrite that it's astounding that he's made it this far.

Mr. 500 thousand dollar lawsuit....oh, but you should only get 250k because we need "tort reform."

What an idiot. No wonder the people of Pennsylvania ran his ass out of office.

I don't believe for a moment that these were simple mistakes. It's the current M.O. in US politics today, to say something that you wink, wink, "don't really mean" and that it was a mistake. But that you really DO believe, you just have to give that mea culpa for the benefit of the media. But once the genie is out of the bottle you can't really jam it back in again.

Besides which, he was already the President - he wasn't looking for the vote.

Uh, no. The point was that using slips of the tongue to make political points is dumb for BOTH sides. Try reading for context next time.

Obama said their was 57 states because he thought the 8 major Hawaiian Islands were states too.

Where did it say Muslims were offended?? If that's the case, are you inferring that black people should not have been offended when Santorum excused his slip of the tongue and tried cover it with "blah" people.

Quote:
Rick Santorum denied he saidhe didn’t want to make “black people’s lives better” during a pre-caucus campaign event Sunday in Sioux City, Iowa. “I’ve looked at that quote, in fact I looked at the video,” Santorum argued. “In fact, I’m pretty confident I didn’t say black. What I think — I started to say a word and then sort of changed and it sort of — blah — mumbled it and sort of changed my thought
What do you think his original word was: boring??? Even his explanation is so eloquent.
