Great column!

Thanks for reminding people with very short memories why the good people of Pennsylvania dumped this buffoon as Senator. Santorum is part of the mentally-ill wing of the Republican Party. Neither him nor Bachmann are conservatives, as they both advocate for big federal government intervention into the bedrooms of Amercians, and he's all about more militarism abroad. He's really just a nutjob. An uber-Catholic, who justifies his hatred of gays and lesbians as derived from his strong, unshaken faith in Catholicism, but strangely advocates for the death penalty that the Catholic Church teaches is tantamount to murder. Talk about a cafeteria Catholic, this guys tray is heaping with hypocrisy.
