A 40-watt brain with a bamboo filament. As my grandmother says.

I think Guest’s “desperate” hits the right note.

Santorum’s views derive from his reading of the Bible, but he cannot call that extensively on the Bible in a political campaign without looking like a kook.

So, he flounders, grabbing any idea that will keep his doctrinaire prejudices afloat, no matter how illogical or inconsistent.

Yes, his self-righteousness is matched only by his stupidity.

“Privilege”? As far as marriage is concerned, the Supreme Court has disagreed with that conclusion — um, conclusively — in 18 decisions going back over 120 years, all of which found marriage to be a fundamental right. (Maybe he’ll take a cue from Gingrich and have all those justices arrested — retroactively.)

As for military service, when I was a lad it was considered to be one of one’s responsibilities as a citizen. It’s only a screwball like Santorum who could consider enlisting to go somewhere and kill strangers a “privilege.”

Let’s just combine the conclusions of Timothy and Tim: Santorum is stupid and ignorant.

Ah, yes, one of those coveted privileges granted only to the unique and special bringing together of a penis and a vagina. An event so incredibly rare that it must be protected at all cost!

I am praying every day that this man IS the Republican candidate for president, because it would be the funniest campaign ever.

I have to confess, when I first heard of Rick’s “Google problem,” I felt like it was rather harsh. Not that his man-on-dog comparison wasn’t harsh, but I just shrugged it off as, “well that’s to be expected from a homophobe.” But…the more I listen to this guy, the less I feel sorry for him, and on the same coin, I can’t say he doesn’t deserve his “definition.”

I vaguely recall his excuse as to why we shouldn’t have SSM marriage, is because paper towels are not the same as apples. Or something like that. I don’t think he’s stupid…not overly anyway, he’s just highly desperate, desperate of trying to explain why gender should be the barrier for marriage. But I say let him talk, let him bury himself to the ground, and take the other homophobes with him.

I don’t really think it’s a cheap shot. If he truly believes in the ideology he professes, then he’s stupid. Ignorant might be a slightly more polite word to use, but it’s certainly not a cheap shot.

Hope you had a great holiday Timothy, and happy New Year.
