Santorum's own words do more damage to himself than any opponent could ever do.

And I love how Richius is such an apologist for right-wing extremism.

I can tell by some of your qoutes from the book that they are clearly taken out of context just for the sole purpose of misrepresenting what he has written.  Why not post the full paragraphs instead so we can read the full context?

I think this book kills any chance Santorum had for re-election.

Until you post the full paragraphs, I won't take your word on it.

I don't have the book (wouldn't waste my money on it).  The quotes are from the "Capital Buzz" website.

"CapitolBuzz provides the latest buzz on how the GOP is abusing its majority status in Washington, DC. We depend on your tips and love reading your comments. Email us at CapitolBuzz at gmail dot com."

Even more reason to assume that this is all taken out of context.  If I were you, I would read the book first and then make your case, and not rely on someone elses cliff notes.

Exactly why the extreme-right is to be feared. 

An ultra-liberal America: gay marriage and marijuana

An ultra-conservative America: totalitarianism based on the moral views of it's leaders
You forgot no guns, rampant crime, socialism, communism, possibly even fascism.

Much of the left doesn't favor new national gun laws.
Much of the right doesn't favour totalitarianism.
Yeah, they're just freedom lovers with totalitarian leanings.
Tell me. What can liberalism do for me that conservatism or centrism (don't know if that's an actual word) cannot?

They can tax you more.  HAHAHA

It all depends on what you want done. The Democratic party has a much better record of creating jobs when they're in power.
Oh? What kinds of jobs? Roll Eyes
Pretty much any kind. There was a net creation of 22.7 million jobs under the Clinton adminstration, and about 21-22 million of those were private sector.

You are under the impression that Presidents or policies create jobs.  Many of those jobs under Clinton were due to the tech rush and then the eventual tech bubble collapse.  All that the Presidents and politics do is attempt to guide the economic conditions in the nation to make it more favorable for businesses to grow . . . however, the markets (both domestic and global) determine if jobs are created, and not the policies.
