> [@Marley23](#): > > … let’s not forget that if he was President we’d still be pitting him for his conservative stance on any number of other things, like abortion. But he did get this one right. Oh don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t have a bone or two to pick with the man. I just think that he would have done exponentially less damage than this current administration. ---

**Gobear** , I don’t suppose you could arrange for word to be passed to Al-Gayda that I’ve somehow crossed them, could you? My home could use the help! 😉 Thanks for the laugh! As for Santorum, having had to put up with the Congress-creature for far too long now, I’d say consider him the Senate’s answer to **SHAKES**. It looks like he simply cannot conceive of what it’s like to be anything than white, upper-middle class, and straight. I can’t tell you how much pleasure it will give me to walk into a voting booth and pull the lever for his opponent! (Oh, baby, o-o-o-h! :other ecstatic moaning: ) CJ ---

Well, despite his small-minded bigotry, I wouldn;t mind plumbing Rick Santorum’s depths.He’s handsome. lookslike he has good body., and given that he is prone to making hysterical pronouncements about the fatal lure of homosexuality, I can’t help but think he might be curious. [/QUOTE] EEEEEWWW!!! [The guy looks like he’s just had a lobotomy](http://www.senate.gov/src/images/santorum.jpg). _shudder_ 😉 Oh, and as a Pittsburgh native, please be assured that Santorum is not a representative of our town. (since Santorum is a native). (Random factoid-Santorum’s seat was previously held by one, Senator John Heinz, first husband of Theresa Heinz Kerry.) ---

What I want to know is, where is the outbreak of “man on dog” sex that the esteemed Senator Santorium predicted about a year ago if gay people were given the right to get it on in private without being arrested by the cops? (Lawrence v. Texas decision) It’s a slippery slope, dontcha know! 😉 ---

> [@MissTake](#): > > Someone please let me know- How the fuck did Santorum get elected? Were all those with an IQ over 2 banned from voting? The PA Dems couldn’t come up with anyone reasonable to run against him. Last time around his competitor was a one or two term congressman (Ron Klink) whose prior claim to fame was being a blow-dried anchor on the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh. Despite his TV experience, Senator Anal-Sex-Leavings cleaned his clock in debates and advertising, and won handily. (By the way, **Jayjay** , I’m pretty sure that Carville said the middle of PA was Mississippi, not Alabama. Being a native Mississippian and former Pennsylvanian, that kind of stuck in my head. Of course, the center of the state has also been referred to as Pennsyltucky. To say that the center T is a little… out there… is just gospel truth at this point.) Of course, despite being a well-known affiliate and proponent of some very very conservative (and hinky) Catholic groups, Post-Sex-Scum wasn’t actively spreading bile against gays during his last re-election bid. The whole “the evil bad gays are gonna be the ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuination of us” schtick only really came to the fore in the last couple of years. **gobear** - Santorum does not have a good body. He’s gone to dough around the middle. His wife is a frigid blonde thingy who can’t cook for crap (she once appeared on a local cooking show in Pittsburgh making some bizarre concoction that she claimed was Rick’s favorite meal – it looked like dog food) and I have a feeling that he’s spending a lot of time in restaurants. He does not warrant sexual interest, really and truly. Oh, and **Guin** , technically speaking, Buttsex-Spew’s seat wasn’t really John Heinz’s. Not only was Heinz senior senator when he died, there were two other men in the office after Heinz’s death. (Harris Wofford and Richard Thornburgh.) Let’s not sully the good memory of the very decent and upstanding John Heinz by even remotely associating him with Nasty-Stain-On-The-Sheets. I think I had another point, but I can’t remember it. ---

Ah, I stand corrected then. Thank you, **TeaElle**. I don’t recall Klink being on KDKA, though. Still, he does kind of resemble Ray Tannahill. ---

And once again I must give a shout out to some Wisconsin pols: Russ Feingold, who is helping to lead the Senate fight against this potential blight on the Constitution; and Tammy Baldwin, the first open lesbian elected to the House and a leader in the House fight against it. ---

If he attempted to take away anyone’s rights, it didn’t make the NY Times. Interesting how almost all the video I saw of the opposition was of my California senators. There are a few good things about living here. ---

Let’s not forget this one: > [@James Kimball](#): > > For years now, many have feared that lax border security would allow terrorists to easily enter the United States from Canada. However, U.S. Customs officials at Pearson International Airport in Canada were able to stop the latest pair of “domestic terrorists.” Kevin Bourassa and Joe Varnell attempted to enter the United States Thursday as a married couple.
