Would Rick Santorum losing his seat be good for American Democracy?

am i over-exaggerating Rick Santorums extremism or is he really a nut within the Republican party?

Yes, and yes.

People already like him and if he wins next year that should put an end to this "He's out of step with PA" stuff that Democrats across the nation throw around. Discuss whatever you want about the guy but do me a favor and accept the fact that Pennsylvanians really do like their Junior United States Senator.

SPEAK FOR YOUR FRIGGING SELF PAL!

He should have said "... but do me a favor and accept, if re-elected, that the majority of Pennslvanians really do like their Junior United States Senator."

Phil seems pretty confident about Sen. Santorum's chances for re-election.  I'm not a fan of the guy and believe that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can do better than to elect such a polarizing figure to represent their state in Congress. 

That is true.  I just don't know if someone better really wants to be Senator of PA.  hahaha

Well if Pennslyvania kicks the guy out of office then you will not have to read these type of threads anymore.

Hmmm . . . I have a problem with that logic.

Words can hurt people!

So can sledgehammers.  What's your point?  (Double standard?)

Look, there will always be politicians you will not agree with, and some will always stick out as a lightning rod because they are more open than others.  However, threatening the use of weapons or name calling is far from the right course of action, especially for an insignificant issue or series of issues.  The right course is to be calm, mature, and open-minded about the other sides views on the issue.  You are more likely to attract more people into a meaningful discussion on an issue by saying "You know, I don't agree with some of the things this person has said..." than "That Right-wing religious nutjob is going to destroy us all..." or "I have to hit people with a sledgehammer...," you know?  This is why people tend to marginalize you so often.  Be less irrational and more people might bother to listen.
