I am saddened that any woman would be in favor of Santorum. How ignorant can one be? I have several Republicans in my family and they all think Santorum is nuts.

As the great Winston Churchill once said (I'm paraphrasing): "the scariest thing about having a Democracy is spending 5 minutes talking to the average voter". Clearly these pro-Santorum women only reinforce how spot on Churchill was.

SANTORUM IS A FOOL INDEED WHO DOES NOT CHOOSE HIS WORDS WITH CARE. HE CALLS WHAT HE SAYS SPEAKING FROM THE HEART, BUT HIS WORDS LACK WISDOM.

The American political landscape is now littered with so many statements from Santorum that are truly troubling and even racist. He now says that children should not aspire for higher education—even education at the lower levels since he is opposed to public education where most Americans sheltered in their earlier years especially the poor. He says that the universities are not worth attending since they indoctrinate our kids. Fundamentally, he wants poor kids, especially minority kids to be only hewers of wood and fetchers of water for the rest of society. He wants them to be stuck in menial jobs only, unable to rise beyond the fate of their parents and unable to move into new, more promising knowledge –based economies of the new century. AND . . . ACCORDING TO SANTORUM'S DICTA, "PROTESTANTISM IS THE WORK OF THE SATAN." This statement has so many serious implications. Thus, he is implying that the faith of Billy Graham is the work of the Satan. He said what he said at the same Ave Maria University that now wants to take Obama to court, suggesting that what Santorum has been saying has the backing of Catholic Bishops that have now declared war on Obama for their own political reasons. These same bishops said nothing when similar laws as Obama is trying to implement already existed in 28 US states, including New York where now "Cardinal Dolan" now lives. Santorum does not talk like a true Christian! He, indeed, is the true work of Satan! Clearly, Santorum is not a Presidential material. This angry, hateful man who speaks in superlative, very negative terms has nothing constructive or hopeful to offer America. Just gutter schoolyard insult! Does his working class background fully explain his crudeness, narrow vision, racism, insularity and unreasonableness? Or is it his Catholic theology? He is attacking women, minorities, gays, the education system both public schools and universities, will never be the President of the United States!!!

As a strict Catholic, Santorum is emphatically pro-life, and he has said that birth control is "harmful to women."

Am I the only on who thinks this is totally stupid. Do we live in the medieval, or what? This isn't catholic, this is just plain stupid.

How surprising that some women could Want the president to be making decisions about their personal lives or their birth control arrangements, that strong in some circles is our desire to never grow up but rather always have government as daddy who gives or witholds permission.

The nicer view is from women agreeing with Ron Paul that government is prohibited by the Constitution to intrude on our personal lives, indeed that the Constitution was clearly Intended to protect us From government mandate violating our inalienable right of self ownership.

A woman owns her own body [as does a man own his own body], there just is no other acceptable way to consider the idea.

It's fine for Rick Santorum to say what he and his wife do in their marital relations as described in the article, but Certainly Not ok for him to decide what all couples must do.

What nonsense.
