Republicans rebuke LaHood for asking Ryan to step down

[Sporadicus]

Several leading Republicans lambasted Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.) yesterday for calling on GOP candidate Jack Ryan to exit the Illinois Senate race in light of sexual allegations made by his ex-wife.

<snip>

“Congressman LaHood is out of line,” said Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, adding that “this is an allegation in a messy custody case.” He called the media “outrageous” for making more out of the case than, he said, it warrants.

“He now knows that some of his biggest enemies come from his own party,” Fitzgerald said of Ryan. The senator added that the pro-abortion-rights wing of the state GOP controls the party apparatus. Ryan is pro-life, as is LaHood. And Fitzgerald pointed out that Ryan’s Democratic rival, state Sen. Barack Obama, is not making an issue out of the custody case.

1. Rick "Man-on-Dog" Santorum?

Didn't he basically say there's no right to privacy?

[LoZoccolo]

10. Why yes, he did!

I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold — Griswold was the contraceptive case — and abortion.

My favorite part is this though, especially since he was warned:

AP: OK, without being too gory or graphic, so if somebody is homosexual, you would argue that they should not have sex?

SANTORUM: We have laws in states, like the one at the Supreme Court right now, that has sodomy laws and they were there for a purpose. Because, again, I would argue, they undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family. And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold — Griswold was the contraceptive case — and abortion. And now we're just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you — this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family. You say, well, it's my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that's antithetical to strong healthy families. Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, where it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.


Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —


AP: I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about "man on dog" with a United States senator, it's sort of freaking me out.

2. My senator Rick Santorum

Sticking up for someone's privacy.....

ROTFLMAO:tinfoilhat:

[snippy]

7. Is he still working on that Senator on dog problem in Pennsylvania? n/t

[LiviaOlivia]

3. Santorum is a BIG ass.

The Repugs can't keep their mouths shut when it comes to the Clintons.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[lancdem]

4. Santorum is a damn hypocrite

This is a guy who jumped all over Bill Clinton.

[Southsideirish]

5. I can't stand Republicans but La Hood always struck me as one

who was not a 100% bad guy. I admire his courage on speaking out against creepy Jackie.
It was OK for them to dismantle Clinton but when the shoe is on the other foot they want all kinds of privacy "for his son." They didn't give a whit for Chelsea and her feelings when they dragged her dad through the mud.

6. I had no idea Ryan was such a saint.

“Jack Ryan . . . never broke one of the Ten Commandments.”

[KamaAina]

8. Really? Which one?

I'll bet it was one of the obscure ones, like the graven image one.

:-)

[oldhat]

11. Hahahahahaha

The talking points add that “Jack Ryan never broke the law, never broke one of the Ten Commandments and never broke his wedding vows.”

What would Jesus do if he was married? Take his TV star wife to four different whips and chains S&M sex clubs and ask her to fuck in public? And then if she starts crying, scold her by saying that crying is not a "turn on"? Sounds like the epitome of family values to me.

Slimeball.
