Santorum: Single mothers are political base of Democratic Party

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Friday said that eliminating single motherhood would help defeat Democrats at the polling booth, according to the liberal watchdog Right Wing Watch.

“Look at the political base of the Democratic Party: it is single mothers who run a household,” he said on the American Family Association’s radio show Today’s Issues.

“Why? Because it’s so tough economically that they look to the government for help and therefore they’re going to vote. So if you want to reduce the Democratic advantage, what you want to do is build two parent families, you eliminate that desire for government.”

Santorum is best known for this social conservative values, such as his opposition to same sex marriage. At the Bloomberg/The Washington Post Republican Presidential Debate last week, he said the break down of the American family was partially to blame for poverty in America.

1. No, Santorum...They're just part of the base. The base is

much more than single mothers. Your distortions are pretty obvious, you know.

2. liberal single mothers are tough and strongwilled.

Just think: they can successfully raise a family on their own, while the weak conservatives need a two-parent household to raise a child.

Anyway, what's wrong with single mothers? They work a hell of a lot harder than Ricky does.
