With Romney’s triple primary win on Thursday, the chance of Santorum claiming the nomination is looking increasingly slim. Before Santorum gets cleaned up for good, NYU Local is wringing out all the leftover Santorum goodness. Enjoy another roundup of his choice quotes — just don’t tell our moms that this is how we’re putting our $200,000 journalism degrees to work.
Santorum maybe almost called Obama the N-word?
“We know the candidate Barack Obama what he was like: the anti-war, government nig– ah, the, ah — … America was a source for division around the world.”
Santorum thinks sex is only for makin’ babies:
“One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. [Sex] is supposed to be within marriage. It’s supposed to be for purposes that are yes, conjugal…but also procreative.”
Santorum thinks gay marriage is equivalent to terrorism:
“You can say I’m a hater. But I would argue I’m a lover. I’m a lover of traditional families and of the right of children to have a mother and father. I would argue that the future of America hangs in the balance, because the future of the family hangs in the balance. Isn’t that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?”
No, really:
“This is an issue just like 9-11. We didn’t decide we wanted to fight the war on terrorism because we wanted to. It was brought to us. And if not now, when? When the supreme courts in all the other states have succumbed to the Massachusetts version of the law?”
Santorum doesn’t want to make “black people’s” lives better:
”I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them other people’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn their money and provide for themselves and their families.”
Santorum wants to lock up doctors:
“I believe that any doctor that performs an abortion, I would advocate that any doctor that performs an abortion, should be criminally charged for doing so.”
Santorum thinks Democrats hate civilization:
“The American Left hates Christendom. They hate Western civilization.”
Santorum thinks black wombs are dangerous:
“The most dangerous place for an African American in this country is in the womb.”
I just… is this guy for real? And to think people are actually agreeing with his views is just mind boggling. Hopefully, someday, people will be voting for politicians that stand against discrimination and don’t have their heads up their own asses.
Seems simple, but I guess not.
the womb comment makes me want to just back track and go back to being an Ex Pat Indian Citizen.
