I watched the entire process intensely. When Jack said that HE would be running the country and the POPE, I was elated. Even as a preteen I did not WANT the Pope, or priests or nuns, running America. Oh, I though that would be HORRIBLE.

50 plus years later, it isn't only Santorum, but ALL the Repuke candidates who think the their religion should be running the country; good "Christians" all. When did we become a christian theocracy? I can tell you as a little girl I certainly didn't want that.

Rick Santorum, you are no Jack Kennnedy and that is a DETRIMENT to this country.
