5. God's Strange Moves for Mrs. S

"Mrs. Santorum, 51, apparently wasn’t always committed to the cause. In fact, her live-in partner through most of her 20s was Tom Allen, a Pittsburgh obstetrician and abortion provider 40 years older than she, who remains an outspoken crusader for reproductive rights and liberal ideals. Dr. Allen has known Mrs. Santorum, born Karen Garver, her entire life: he delivered her in 1960. . . The six-year-long May-December affair, which was always out in the open, began in 1982, when Garver was a 22-year-old nursing student at Duquesne University. Allen was then 63. He was well known for delivering babies and helping to start a “therapeutic abortion” clinic at Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh years before Roe v. Wade. As at most such clinics, sympathetic psychiatrists of the era attested to women’s fragile mental health as a way to skirt restrictions on the procedure. Rick Santorum has lampooned the notion that abortion statutes should contain exceptions in cases where women’s health is at risk."

Sorry, Little Ricky, but we're not going to let you spread your santorum in the White House.
You'll just have to stay home and spread it.

to be against 'Obamacare,' as well!

Why do so many Republicans refuse to accept that we, too, have the right to universal access to affordable health care--like every other industrialized country in the world. Their leaders put health care industry profits above the welfare of the American people, and their base falls in line. What a party!

Sorry for the use of "bitch", but I don't know another term for that type of "whack".

I know there has to be another word that conveys the nature of the slap in a similar manner. I just can't think of one.

But personally I want God to go on TV and tell the nation that Santorum running is His choice.

I refuse to rely on the voices in Rick and Mrs. Rick's heads.

Of course, even if it was on TV, I'd suspect it was fake.

As a Christian she should know that. The Lord's Prayer says "Let thy will be done"... meaning we dont know what it is but we pray that God helps us to do his will.. whatever that might be.
