No, trust me dude, I'm not a big Santorum fan. He's last on my list of the four. Too socially right for me. I couldnt tell you the last time I went to church. I just want to see someone who has a remote idea how to run a business or balance a budget. I'll be voting for whoever the R's nominate but I'm hoping its Romney (since I think Paul is toast).

Well... to be fair, Santorum is touching upon the issue that Heartiste touches upon all the time (a school of thought that Roosh also subscribes to).
Gay marriage, abortion and planned parenthood are ALL part of a coalition of forces (with feminism, too) out to destroy the bourgeoise family model - the nuclear family. I happen to believe this is detrimental to Western civilization's continued success.
Santorum, I suspect, lacks the imagination or intellectual swagger to articulate this is what is going on, but yeah, it is. I actually agree with Santorum on many issues and people who compare him to Saudi fanatics are ignorant of Catholic doctrine and Christianity in general, be it historical or theological. Atheists are often more intolerant of religion than vice versa.
The problem with Santorum is that he is no intellectual, not especially visionary, and not practical and I think he'd just be a Bush-repeat, which would be worse than useless. Romney will be a far more competent, result-oriented and capable executive than Santorum, so he's got my vote. Romney, as a Private Equity executive, also has a grasp of economics sorely lacking in politics these days.

Santorum renews promise to root out obscene pornography
By Chris Moody | The Ticket – 1 hr 7 mins ago
Rick Santorum doubled down Sunday on a campaign promise to crack down on the distribution of explicit pornography if elected president, saying exposure to the content "can be very damaging."
A position paper on Santorum's campaign website argues that current obscenity laws already prohibit the distribution of "hardcore (obscene) pornography," and that the Obama administration has failed to enforce these restrictions. As president, Santorum says he would instruct his attorney general to prosecute those who distribute content his administration deems "obscene."
"We would, of course, as president enforce those laws, because obviously Congress in its wisdom understood that hardcore pornography is very damaging, particularly to young people, and that exposure on the Internet can be very damaging," Santorum said during an interview on ABC's "This Week." "There are laws against purveying hard-core pornography. And that--we have attorney generals in the country, at least under the Bush administration, who did prosecute that. And this administration isn't. And I simply said I would follow the law, which I know in the case of Barack Obama can be somewhat of a hefty challenge for him, but we're going to do it as president."
Santorum, however, has yet to provide a specific definition of what kind of pornography his attorney general would prosecute. Under former President George W. Bush, the Justice Department focused primarily on small distributors that produced what it considered extreme content, but largely left the major production studios alone.
