Rick Santorum: Hypocritical Shitbag

Rick Santorum, somehow now a leading candidate for the Republican nomination, is a hypocritical shitbag of the highest order. Watch this video first.

Now, of course, if you have been following the parade of idiots clamoring for the Republican nod, this statement of Santorum's against all abortions even in the case of rape and incest is probably not surprising.

But, did you know his wife had an abortion?

In October, 1996, his wife Karen had a second trimester abortion. They don’t like to describe it that way. In his 2004 interview with Terry Gross, Santorum characterizes the fetus, who must be treated as an autonomous person, as a practically a gunslinging threat, whom the mother must murder in self-defense. Karen has had to justify her decision to save her own life by explaining that if she died her other children would have lost a mother.

This hairball is the second worst (Michelle Bachmann ranks number one) of the fools running on the Republican side... and his ascent needs to be slapped down hard and fast. I'd rather Newt win than this troglodyte (which is saying something, because I despise Gingrich, too).
