Why Do I Think Santorum Is A Sex Scandal Waiting To Happen?......

[global1]

There is something so disingenuous about Santorum. When he gets all holier than thou and starts spouting God and his anti-sexual rant - I can't help but think that this guy is hiding behind something. Am I being silly with this or does anyone else out there have the same suspicions.

[provis99]

1. if it weren't for all his kids,

I wouldn't believe even his own wife had sex with him.

[HopeHoops]

18. I doubt they're his. Could you imagine having sex with Mr. Frothy? Brrrrr..

[FarLeftFist]

30. He thinks about gay sex more than gays do.

[Old and In the Way]

2. He reminds me of Ralph Reed,

Another fresh scrubbed boy wonder of the Christian movement. Until you scratch the surface and find out he was simply scamming the rubes with Abramoff. I think we'll find something similar in Rick's closet.

[MADem]

3. He has scandals....but I think they are more pedestrian.

Like the way he ripped off the taxpayers of PA for distance-learning for his kids, while he had them stashed in a house, in a toney school district, that he owned in VA....

The Issue:
Why is Rick Santorum spending your tax dollars on his family?

Rick took $100,000 from a struggling Pennsylvania public school district to pay for his children’s “cyber” education program
Unfortunately, Rick and his family live in suburban Virginia, not Pennsylvania, so they weren’t entitled to those funds
And when exposed in the press, Rick wouldn’t pay back the money, so the Penn Hills School District had to go to court to get it back…at more cost to local taxpayers
Pretty hypocritical, since Rick won his first congressional race by attacking the incumbent for living in Virginia instead of Pennsylvania

4. froth on dog.

a turtle with an uhoh face

Those speaking so much about chaste sex, (sex with the lights on or in daylight when you can see is Sodomy) do sometimes turn out to be unsuccessfully suppressing some wild ass notions,

[bayareamike]

5. I feel like 90%

of the "holier than thou" types are most likely hiding something. Especially when the "holier than thou" attitude is coming from an ultra religious person.

I hope someone breaks a scandalous story. I'd love to see him go down hard. Is that too vindictive?

[CTyankee]

19. No, it is not vindictive. You, like me, just want to rip the mask off his hypocrisy.

I want to see him pay for his hypocrisy. I want him ruined politically. Ground into the dirt politically. An outcast from civil society. Kinda like John Edwards is.

Then I will

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. "An outcast from civil society. Kinda like John Edwards is."

And yet Newt isn't. I guess it's okay if a repug is morally bankrupt.

I doubt Santorum would have anything to worry about scandal wise. He'd be embraced just like Newt is.


"I want him ruined politically. Ground into the dirt politically."

regpugs don't do that to theirs. That's what we do to ours. *sigh*

[CTyankee]

32. well, if for no other reason than to save the reputation of the Dem Party, I said that...and

Edwards deserves it. I don't want my party to be a lying hypocrite like the Pukes are...

[Raine]

6. I bet he really cuts loose at all those CPac conventions

they continually attend. Alcohol, drugs, freaky sex etc you name it, I bet he partakes in it all. Pompous self-righteous types are always the worst depraved hypocrites.

[Poll_Blind]

7. Box turtle said it was only once...

PB

[Sparkly]

49. Ha!!

[Warren DeMontague]

8. it will begin as a small trickle

yet develop into a raging, cascading flood.

[oldhippydude]

13. yep

thats what happens when you google santorum

[Confusious]

9. Animals, gotta be. nt

[Fumesucker]

10. Because anyone who talks so much about sex has to be thinking about it constantly..

This is the vibe I get from Santorum..

[Douglas Carpenter]

11. even though he is Catholic - Santorum looks and sounds like a typical fundamentalist youth pastor-

I can easily understand how to the religious right and a lot of ordinary church going little old ladies he would be downright adorable - almost too good to be true. I doubt that he is a "bad guy" on a purely personal level. He just holds the same CRAZY and actually outlandishly naive worldview held by most people from that particular social milieu.

[meow2u3]

22. He's a member of Opus Dei, a misnomer extraordinaire

Opus Dei is an extremely dangerous sect within the Catholic Church, made up of Catholic fundamentalists who actually embrace fascism and institutionalized sexism, racism, elitism, and even slavery, all under the pretext of "family values."

You can read more about the cult of Opus Dei, which I call Opus Diaboli, the work of the Devil. It's blasphemous organizations like these that gives religion a bad name and actually provokes people to renounce religion because of the crimes committed in the name of God.

There's proof that Opus Dei has been corrupting the Church. This article from 1997, INSIDE STORY: THE VATICAN'S OWN CULT , should shed light on this diabolical cult which all but owns the Catholic Church lock, stock, and barrel. PBS ran a story back in 2001 about the controversy of Opus Dei.

OD even has an Opus Dei Cookbook, replete with bankster-like accounting tricks to swindle investors out of their life savings. Does this sound Christian to you? It sure doesn't to me.

These cultists have the Church over a barrel. http://www.odan.org/media_pope_election.htm

This old DU thread discusses the who's who of Opus Dei in US government. Mr. Frothy is on the list. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1628441

I, as a moderate Catholic, am outraged and mortified over the way OD has infiltrated the church, the government, and even the judiciary. All five conservative justices are members of Opus Dei.

[sarcasmo]

23. Religion gives religion a bad name.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. This^

[newspeak]

35. another opus deier?

jaysus, joseph and mary! These cretins are ones you do not want to see in leadership roles. Basically, the fascistas of the catholic church.

[provis99]

39. I wonder if Santorum wears a cilice to mortify his flesh.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilice

Opus Dei seems to be the looney Catholic equivalent of Protestantism's "The Family"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_%28Christian_political_organization%29

[Odin2005]

45. He's in Opus Dei? OMG!!!

[Capitalocracy]

12. Why is he a sex scandal waiting to happen?

Because he hasn't been caught yet.

[TheDebbieDee]

14. Santorum is so anti-sex, he's just gotta be a freak!

But if the person or persons that he's freaky with are just as religiously anti-sex as he, we'll never hear about his hidden freaky side!

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Remember the CNN headline about Romney's promise?

That full-frontal-assault-to-come might become the moment of truth!

He's got to have something. He protesteth WAY WAY too much!

[madokie]

16. He sets my Weirdar off big time

weirdo punk is what I see

[Chorophyll]

17. I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyone who's that obsessed with other people's sex lives has issues. He seems so angry and frustrated.

[lunatica]

20. Yeah, he'll admit he actually uses condoms

And defiles his sperm sometimes by actually masturbating.

In his circles that's a huge scandal.

[WI_DEM]

21. No, I think he is just a true believer in that stuff and expects everybody else to think the way

he does.

[laundry_queen]

31. That's what I think

but I'm a horrible judge of character in general, so hopefully I'm wrong as usual and tons of scandals come tumbling out of the closet.

[Lochloosa]

40. I agree...and that is more scary than anyother post here

[yellowcanine]

24. Oh please God, no. I do not want this to be true. Yes he fits the profile but I prefer denial in

this case. The mind pictures are just too frightening.

[tallahasseedem]

25. I believe there is a rent boy just waiting...

somewhere in the shadows to come out and tell his story.

[hifiguy]

28. He gives off the vibe of someone who is

so deep in the closet that he is finding forgotten Xmas presents from five years ago.

He's some kind of freak, that's for sure.

[UTUSN]

29. R#5 & K for, EWwwww!1 and GROSS!1 Who could be so desperate as to cater to sweater vest kinkiness?!1

[varelse]

34. I think we need to have a new DU rule

instantly deleting any thread with "Santorum" and "Sex" in the title.

(there's no 'mindbleach' smilie so I'll leave the graphic to your imagination)

[renie408]

37. You know, I don't think so. I think what makes Santorum REALLY scary is that he...

just might be the real thing...a true believer. I really don't get that vibe.

Now, don't get me wrong, I would be giddy if tomorrow his rent-a-boy lover showed up on MSNBC, but somehow it just doesn't feel right.

[skypilot]

38. I've thought this for YEARS!!!

I'm in Pennsylvania and the first time I ever saw him speak in an interview he came off a bit too "Golly gee" for me. I thought to myself that this guy can't be for real and that he must have some nasty ass skeletons in his closet. I still think that.

[cherokeeprogressive]

41. Because he looks like Anthony Weiner

[backscatter712]

42. I think it's only a matter of time before he's caught pulling a Haggard... n/t

[fascisthunter]

43. he's a religious fanatic, so who knows what other thoughts and behaviors he excuses

that's the great thing with belief... if you bullshit yourself well enough, you can believe almost anything. Lot's of lawyers I know do it on a daily basis, because belief is a great part of acting the part and most convincing.

[Odin2005]

44. He's definitely repressing something.

No mentally healthy person is so obsessed with other people's sexual behavior.

[The Genealogist]

46. It is hard for me to believe that anyone so obsessed with other people's private parts and

what they do in the bedroom in private does not have some kind of mental issues. I don't know if he is a closet case, or if he is so personally sexually repressed that he obsesses over everyone else's sex lives and private parts, or something else.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

47. He hooked up with Romney's dog at a GOP convention

The poor creature confided in him about its experience on the roof of the family car and sought solace in Santorum's arms. Rick just took advantage and the dog now feels used. Watch for the exclusive interview on ABC.

[Major Nikon]

48. I wouldn't trust him around small kids
