Payback is a Bitch

As you may have heard, perhaps here, Rick Santorum almost beat Mitt Romney in Iowa the other day. All he needed were those doggone nine votes! Ever since he started wearing those sweater vests, the populace seems to adore him. At least, that's what he thinks. He's probably already planning to wear one to his Inauguration.

Problem with Rick is he's an awful bigot. And he can't shut up. So it's not as if he can keep his bias a secret.

First off, he doesn't understand homosexuality. He compares it to men having sex with dogs. He also seems to think gay marriage is akin to polygamy (note that two GOP contenders are Mormons which once upon a time practiced it) and/or pedophilia.

He thinks women should be home in the kitchen or in the bedroom having unprotected sex with their husbands.

He finds it amazing that President Obama ... a black man say [ing] 'We're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"

In Iowa over last weekend he distinctly said, "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."

He later denied on CNN that he used the word 'black,' but oh, yes he did. Funny thing with this internet, you can find out pretty easily who is lying.

When he was a senator in 2006, he was very willing to do favors for a Big Insurer, Universal Health Services, a Big Environmental Rapist, Consol Energy and a Big Lobbyist, American Continental Group for which he was repaid with big contracts earning him a lot of money.

Hopefully the folks in New Hampshire will wake up and smell his reality.
