Why did they boo him. His case was logical to me?

That was edited so WTF knows what all he said.

And FWIW, while Big Dick Cheney is crooked on one side of his mouth, I've noted that somehow Frothy manages to be crooked on both sides of his mouth.

Those Boooos in the OP were not loud enough !
Come on people of NH, put some ooomph in your disdain for him.

Quotes by Rick da Prick ~

"Ron Paul is disgusting."

“Ron Paul is disgusting,” presidential candidate Rick Santorum said to a handful of Fox News and Business reporters shortly after his Fox and Friends interview Tuesday morning.

Santorum blamed his rival for Iowa robo calls that claimed that the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania was Pro-Choice and against the second amendment.

Paul’s son, Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has been campaigning with his dad in Iowa this week, was asked by Fox Business reporter Peter Barnes about the robo calls.

“I haven’t heard the robo calls, but the thing is, he hasn’t been scrutinized yet, so it’s his turn,” Rand Paul said.




On the Catholic Church’s abuse scandals: “Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political, and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.”

On the war in Iraq: “As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It’s being drawn to Iraq. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don’t want the eye to come back to the United States.”

On contraception: “Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”

On the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s decision to approve same sex marriage: “This is an issue just like 9/11. We didn’t decide we wanted to fight the war on terrorism because we wanted to. It was brought to us. And if not now, when? When the supreme courts in all the other states have succumbed to the Massachusetts version of the law?”


"One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a Libertarianish right. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. That is not how traditional conservatives view the world. There is no such society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”

Pennsylvanians have been robbed by him and he knows it.
He's a corrupted THIEF !!!!!! I remember this story like it was yesterday ..............

http://hillbuzz.org/why-rick-santorums-pennsylvania-residency-scam-and-school-tuition-fraud-still-matters-and-why-he-cant-be-the-nominee-because-of-it-95754





Here’s a detailed look at what Santorum did, why it was illegal, and how this will affect his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination going forward.


The real reason that Santorum lost re-election in 2006 by such a wide margin is because of the residency scam ............

When most people heard the name “Santorum” in Pennsylvania in the leadup to the 2006 race, they didn’t automatically think of feces, but became angry over “Santorum’s empty Pittsburgh house” and “Santorum demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition reimbursement for all those kids of his”.

I lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 2003-2005 and was active politically at the time, routinely canvassing neighborhoods for various candidates. Time and again, people would practically foam at the mouth with anger over the shady things Santorum did with his residency and his children’s education “reimbursement”.

Here are the facts that upset Pennsylvanians so much:

* In 2004, while serving as a United States Senator, Rick Santorum claimed his legal address was a house in the Pittsburgh suburb of Penn Hills, which was immediately next door to the home of his wife’s parents. During the spring and summer of that year — in the leadup to the presidential election — Pittsburgh news crews started investigating whether or not Santorum really lived in the house he claimed as his Pennsylvania residence. Several of these “investigative reports” showed the Penn Hills “Santorum House” as abandoned, with an unkempt lawn, peeling paint, and junk mail piled up near the front door – as if no one had visited the house in many months. When the cameras peeked inside the house, viewers saw room after room empty of any furnishings; it was clear that the Santorum family did not live at that residence at all.

* The Pittsburgh media made a great stink over this, which quickly spread to average men and women on the street who became upset that Santorum didn’t really live at his “official residence”. The reason this really hit home with Pennsylvanians was because Santorum had railed against Congressman Doug Walgren for moving out of his own district and not maintaining a real residence there. Pennsylvanians hate hypocrisy — and that’s just what Rick Santorum was…a hypocrite…for haranguing Walgren for not living in his district when Santorum himself didn’t even live in the state of Pennsylvania anymore.

* Records ultimately showed that Santorum lived exclusively in a $600,000+ near-mansion in Virginia. This is another thing you need to understand about Pennsylvanians to appreciate just how damaging this was to Santorum. On paper, Santorum claimed his residence was a $90,000 modest house in a suburb of Pittsburgh, when in reality that house was abandoned and Santorum was REALLY living in a house six times as expensive in another state. Here in Chicago, $600,000 can’t buy you a big house, but in Pittsburgh it would land you a palace…so the people who heard about Santorum’s residency scam were enraged that he “abandoned the state” and “lied to his constituents” by living in what they perceived to be a mansion instead of the Penn Hills residence he claimed.

* After the 2004 election was over, Santorum very quietly tried to eliminate the appearance that his Penn Hills home was abandoned by renting it out to unnamed individuals. This didn’t solve the problem, but only made things worse, because the renters registered to vote using Santorum’s Penn Hills address. It’s a similar situation to what Rahm Emanuel found himself in when he rented out his Chicago home when he moved to Washington, only to later try to claim he still lived there — technically — when he wanted to run for Mayor of Chicago. Just like with Emanuel, Santorum was able to survive the residency challenge because he paid $2,000 worth of property taxes a year on his Penn Hills home and still held its deed…even though he hadn’t lived there in many years and had no intention of moving back there (at least not until the lease expired with the people he rented it to).

* The net effect of all this was an ingrained sense amongst Pennsylvanians that Rick Santorum couldn’t be trusted, was a slippery snake, and that the things he did “just weren’t right, even if they were legal”.

* The other shoe to drop in all of this was the question of where, exactly, Santorum’s children were living and who was paying for their education — the people of Pennsylvania or the people of Virginia. Even though Santorum’s family was clearly living in Virginia, Santorum was billing the state of Pennsylvania — and the Penn Hills School District in particular — around $40,000 per child to educate each of his five children in the “Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School”. After the Pittsburgh local news stations started showing viewers the tours of Santorum’s empty and abandoned Penn Hills home, irate citizens started demanding an investigation into the legality of Santorum charging the Penn Hills school district for the expensive education of five children who didn’t really live there, and instead were living in Virginia.

* Things got incredibly ugly as this was all hashed out in both the media and in the court of public opinion. Ultimately, Santorum yanked his kids out of the “Cyber Charter School” program and had his wife Karen start homeschooling them instead — but he refused to reimburse the state for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that were spent “cyber-schooling” the Santorum children while they lived in the state of Virginia. When confronted about any of this, Santorum became incredibly brittle on camera, lashing out at those who questioned him, and earning a solid reputation as an insufferable and impersonable jackass.

* A paperwork error on the part of the Penn Hills School District resulted in Santorum never having to reimburse the state for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in “cyber tuition” money, because the school district missed a deadline in filing their complaint.

* In 2006, whoever was renting the Santorums’ Penn Hills house was moved out and the place became abandoned and unoccupied again. During his Senate re-election campaign, Santorum claimed when confronted on the residency issue that he and his family were commuting back and forth to Pittsburgh every weekend and that he was spending “every holiday” in the Penn Hills home. But, the Pittsburgh news crews went there again and found the place unkempt and unfurnished, the same way it was back in 2004 the last time this issue arose. Instead of admitting he didn’t actually live in that Penn Hills house and was so stupid that he allowed this to blow up in his face again, Santorum just became brittle and angry at anyone who challenged him on it — resulting in more bad press coverage for him and more Pennsylvanians believing he was an emotionally unhinged liar.

* In one of the debates between Santorum and Bob Casey, the Democrat Senate nominee, in 2006, Santorum admitted that he only spent about 30 days or less in that Penn Hills home. To this day, he’s never had a good explanation for where he actually lived when he was a Senator representing Pennsylvania — or how he could have spent even one night in that house without furniture, electricity, food, or other things people expect to find in an occupied house.

I invite you to watch what happens when the agenda-driven media pushes Rick Santorum for answers related to any of this, in particular why he never reimbursed the state of Pennsylvania for the cost of his children’s education when they were all residents of the state of Virginia at the time.

There is a concrete weirdness that’s off-putting to most people when they hear Rick Santorum speak for any length of time. He is a hostile and often times very rude man who is brittle and unable to withstand any sort of public criticism without smacking back in a petty and unprofessional manner. The Pittsburgh local news crews used to love him, because those encounters over his house and the tuition reimbursement made for great TV.

Pennsylvania voters grew to detest this man, however, because nothing he did in relation to his house or his children’s education costs gave anyone much confidence in Santorum’s leadership abilities or capability to do what was right when it might have been inconvenient for him.

Pennsylvanians just didn’t trust Santorum enough to give him another term, which is how Democrats gained that seat in Pennsylvania in 2006 (and were thus able to ram through Obamacare at Christmas in 2009…when, if not for Santorum’s self-destruction, Democrats would have been one vote shy of making Obamacare happen).

The residency issues and tuition reimbursement fraud mattered back in 2006 to Pennsylvania voters…and they will matter again in 2012 to a national audience once the media starts reporting on Santorum’s past now that he is in a national spotlight for the first time in his career.

Why did they boo him. His case was logical to me?

It had something to do with gay marriage and the boos were much louder than presented here, they really raised hell over it and ran him outta the place.

He likened same sex marriage to polygamy.

[Buddha]

Yeah, he was at a college it seems. Don't want to talk badly about gay marriage there.

[chad]

sneaky. gay marriage = polygamy = romney. ergo, if you vote for mittens, you endorse the gay sex.

[mick silver]

both have friends in very low places

[Horn]

Its the too close together eyes, I always watch the type out of the corner of my own.

With a middle finger.

Here's the dealio...how come no one can argue his point?

Didn't he admit a hypothetical defeat several times there?

[Sparky]

Here's the dealio...how come no one can argue his point?


He's basically saying that we can't make laws just to make individuals happy. He cites polygamy as an example, i.e. if same sex marriage becomes legal, then perhaps polygamy should be legal. I'd say there are two reasonable counter-arguments that same sex proponents could make:

1) Yes, perhaps polygamy should be allowable, too. This would deflate his presumptive argument that polygamy is universally rejected.
2) As a society, we make laws incrementally. Legalizing same sex marriage does not mean you'd have to legalize polygamy. For example, we legalize alcohol, but we don't legalize marijuana. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm saying we have a precedent.

But what's disturbing here is not his logic, it's his attitude. He comes across as incredibly condescending and smarmy.

[iOWNme]

Does ANYONE in that crowd know the difference between a Right and a Privilege?


99% of these types of people want to be able to write their spouse off as a dependent: IE = They want MONEY.


Fucking PUKE.


I see this like i see abortion: I am for a womans right to choose. At the exact same time, I do not support abortion.

A man can marry a man, and a woman a woman. If they want to go into corporate business with the STATE, who am i to say they cant?

Im not here to judge ANYONE, that for the Creator to decide.

Yes, he's a smarmy know-it-all with the personality of a hall monitor, the kind of guy everyone hides from at a Christmas party. —Bill Simmons, ESPN, 2 Aug. 2004

One of the reasons I dig Sparky is for him not being smarmy.

I have no problem with anyone wanting to, or being with anyone...it's not my place to judge or my business. That personal liberty thing again.

Gays already have acceptance, recognition and national approval. Why would they want the government to climb into bed with them and to make decisions in their lives?

Like you say, it's all about tapping into money that's not even there. I've always known this too....everybody does.

I do have a problem when a niche group wants to open the legal books on issues that benefit a only a certain group.
If the books must be opened, they should be opened for all or any to have the same rights.

I'd rather go the other way and abolish legal marriage

i have a friend who is a divorce lawyer, and he has a conspiracy theory that on a national level, lawyers associations are pushing gay marriage. he says it has the capacity to increase their business by 10% or so. he swears it's true.

Absolutely true! Look at all the money the parasites suck out of married couples now.

[Libertytree]

Did anyone see the last episode of Boston Legal? The two main male characters decided to get married, not because they were gay but because one of them had alzheimers and didn't want to see the .gov get all his money and he really did like his friend and knew he would take care of him and use his money to good ends. gay marriage was legal in Mass but the gay/lesbian coalition took them to court objecting to their marriage because they weren't in love etc...It was a funny and compelling legal argument.

Makes a case for civil unions, spend more than a year living with someone & you become subject to those set of laws.
