Santorum Warns Voters About Walkers’s Wife
Going after the wife of a rival candidate is not nice. Rick Santorum is using Scott Walker’s wife’s stance for gay marriage against the Wisconsin governor.
Santorum took a swipe at Scott Walker on Monday, suggesting that because Walker’s wife is not outspoken against same-sex marriage, the Wisconsin governor would make a weak Republican candidate on the issue.
“Spouses matter,” Santorum said in an interview with the Daily Caller Monday. “When your spouse is not in-sync with you — particularly on cultural issues, moral issues — [you] tend not to be as active on those issues.”
Santorum’s came in response to recent comments from Wisconsin’s first lady in an interview with The Washington Post.
Tonette Walker told the paper that her husband’s response to the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage decision — calling for a constitutional amendment allowing states to define marriage how they see fit — was a hard one for her family, since both of the couple’s sons are in favor of allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry.
“Our sons were very disappointed,” she said. “I was torn. I have children who are very passionate [in favor of same-sex marriage], and Scott was on his side very passionate.”
…Gov. Walker told the Post that his wife and sons’ view “doesn’t mean I change my position,” but rather that he might try “finding a different way of explaining it, so they can appreciate where I am coming from.”

But when your wife and you show your kids a miscarried fetus you aren’t sick?

Medically aborted because it was non viable long term.

Here we are, one year before the opening of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, and the Republican Party already is sinking head-first into the gutter, with candidates for the party’s presidential nomination stooping to vicious personal attacks on rival GOP candidates. So much for Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment: “Thou shall not speak ill of another Republican.” It pretty much died with him.

ANNNNNNNNNNND, WE’RE OFF on the crazy train!!! Trump started it by supplying the steam. Instead of playing immature games, making inane comments and displaying grand puffery, I’d so much rather hear what each candidate’s plans are for our country. I’d like to hear them say how they’d handle different situations. I’d like to hear them explain their ideas about the economy and how they’ll keep it healthy. I’d like to hear how they plan to promote jobs, how they’re going to fight the racism that is rampant in our country; what their philosophy is on education, welfare, and other social issues. Sadly, we’re going to hear very little substance and more idiocy in the coming year. Earplugs should be provided free to every American!

I am familiar with Mrs. Santorum from her many public statements on social issues. She is as bad as he nazi-fascist hater-mongering husband. They are very much in sync…like Adolf and Eva.
