Santorum: The fight against gay marriage more important than abortion

In a video obtained by SeattlePI.com, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) told attendees at a Family Policy Institute that the fight against gay marriage is the most important movement in America today, even more important than abortion.

The key statement comes right at the 19.00 minute mark.

Family.

When included in the name of a group, it means pure evil, but worse.

3. I still don't know how he got away with claiming he was from PA when he lived in Leesburg, VA.

On top of that, he still owes Penn Hills $100K for "cyber school" tuition for his kids because he claimed residency in a shack he never spent a night in. Mr. Frothy is a pathetic sack of shit.

He seems to be overcompensating for sure. He has like 1,000 kids and he beings up gay marriage all the time even when it doesn't relate the the conversation or issues at hand. There are a lot of extreme views on gay marriage, but just how extreme Santorum is about it is a bit off the scale. He pretty much made it the central issue of his candidacy while all the other Republicans were talking about the economy.

They can't recognize that a large percentage of their own are gay, plus they frequently falsely accuse non-gays of being gay. They're so confused.

How awesome would that debate be? You thought PBO was flabbergasted by the lies of Shitt. He would just look at the camera and say wtf.

adam and eve never sinned until they realized they weren't wearing clothes.
god had no problem with them being naked. they were born that way.

god has no problem with me being gay. i was born that way.
my only sin would occur the minute i start being ashamed of how god made me.
