Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who's The best Candidate Of All?

Ya know, I've been listening to Rick Santorum for some time now. I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt on as many issues as I can. I'm finding that I am able to give him the benefit of the doubt on fewer and fewer points every time he opens his mouth. That he doesn't trust women to know what's best for themselves is obvious if disconcerting. He doesn't seem to trust the men to know what's best for them either. It appears only he knows what's best. He doesn't think women should work outside the home, so he's a true nineteenth century man. Or is that the eleventh century? But this last week has sealed the deal in my mind. No matter how loudly our society, even our species, shouts, he's far and away out of hearing. He must be. How else to describe his latest statements. Now I'm a regular at church. As are most of my friends, but I can't imagine any of us would want our president to be led completely by his priest or pastor or rabbi or bishop or drinking partner. None of these folks should be making decisions for this country. At least not unless they get elected to do so by the majority of it's citizens. JFK was right to say he would not be led by the Catholic church. Certainly he was influenced by it, but not led by it. Then the stink bomb got dropped. Young adults, this one's for you. Don't go to college. You might be turned into liberals against your will, or at least against Rick's will. Don't become a snob. If you already are a snob, you might still be saved if you stay out of college. Now there's a formula for success for America. If we dumb down, maybe we can get some of those two dollar a day jobs the Chinese have. In fact, why stop there? Why not offer special credit for those who drop out of high school to start work sooner. We could send them down into unsafe mines for a buck a day. Of course those who currently mine can begin to build super computers, space craft and the like. Unless they already have a college degree. In which case, sorry but no work for over-skilled laborers. Who votes for this guy? Regular, moderate conservative Republicans wouldn't be caught dead voting for him. Of course Democrats are out of the chase in the primaries, but which Republicans would vote for him? If you can't read or write and don't like those who can, this candidate's for you. If you think he and he alone represents God, Rick's for you. Otherwise, why on earth would you vote for this guy. Id say he's a nut, but I don't think he likes trees.
