Not that he's desperate or anything, but Rick Santorum chose a pretty weird place for an interview. He sat down with Rachel Maddow for a chat Wednesday, far away from the comfortably familiar Idiot Crew at Fox News. We guess he wanted to show that he could hold his own against the Liberal Media's most prominent nerd or something. They exchanged compliments: Maddow thinks he's one of the best communicators in the Republican field, especially with a live crowd, and Santorum respects that she's tough but sticks to policy, not personal attacks. And despite her generous suggestion to brainstorm some ways of picking a fight with Donald Trump so he can raise his profile enough to get into the first GOP debate in August, Santorum politely declined the offer. Heck, he could
Honestly, people, don't you realize the terrible handicap Santorum was struggling with? Religious right-wingers, when in the actual in-person presence of a Known Gay, cannot refrain from thinking about the aforesaid Known Gay having gay sex, in explicit imaginings. This is what the RRW refer to as the Gays "shoving their perverted, disgusting lifestyle down our throats". Because as soon as you meet someone, you instantly start picturing them having sex. Well, not if they're nice, normal heterosexual folks, of course. That would be creepy. But if they're gay, you just can't help it.
So, Santorum was desperately attempting to marshal his thoughts on the Supremes, while helplessly imagining Dr. Maddow doin' the deed. Don't judge him! He was born that way. Or, actually, indoctrinated that way.
Smirking does not make anybody look presidential. Before you vote for one of these clowns, consider whether you want to see his self-satisfied mug on TV for the next four years, much less with his finger on the nuclear button. Gott im himmel.
Actually, although Carson is an Adventist, his political stylings are generally opposed by the SDA Church. While the church believes in the literal creation of our planet, there is also a very important belief of Adventism that politics and religion shouldn't mix. So I have a friend who is in contact with higher ups who consider Ben an embarrassment. Yes, I'm a former Adventist.
Guess I'm trying to say that most Adventists are NOT Dominionists. Although there is an active strain of Tea Party people in the church, there are also many liberal Adventists.
Sorry - I guess I phrased it badly...by "Seventh-Day Adventist stylings," I meant was that Carson started from an Adventist base, but he's been riffing on it, throwing in his Teabagger philosophy and his rock-solid, not-at-all-arrogant belief in his own wonderfulness, and the resulting mix goes off in a Dominionist direction.
Okay, what you said there, THAT is perfect. And I only felt the need to defend my former church as I have some wonderful, LIBERAL, Adventist friends. :) And Carson scares THEM.
No, it's only half his platform. The other half is outlawing safe, legal abortion, and access to slut pills, a/k/a legal contraception (probably he'd leave condoms alone, because men use them).
That's all well and good until you have Rick Santorum pubes deep on your dick (or that guy's dick) so he can win the argument. Ewwww.
the other local light show. The tiny little white building on the far left is the 'Freedom Tower'

I wouldn't rule out a chance developmental component.
One wonders how they manage to talk to their parents without imagining... oh, never mind.

I wonder how ole Santorum would feel if a Democrat won the White House and just fired the conservative judges. He'd be partially the way there.
Excellent Poe!

"Fundamentally Wrong"
I smell a new campaign slogan.
I hope Rachel had some good migraine meds to take after that head-against-a-brick-wall interview.
Gotta say, though, I would love to see her take on Ted Cruz. That would be an evisceration for the ages.

Trouble is, according to his reputation, Kasich is not as even-tempered as Thr Donald.
