1. Well, let's see, you've got him next to a picture of the Pope.

2. The fact that you are being so defensive about this rather than realizing it is pretty much in jest.

1) Ok a lot of members have a picture or pictures of people they admire in politics.

2) Some people really believe I am totally obsessed with him. I just would like it cleared up.

The fact that you always try to defend someone who thinks the government should poke its head around in the privite bedrooms of consenting adults and say he isn't an extremist.  Forget the whole gay marriage or civil unions issue hell or even a gay issue.  The guy thinks the government should have the right to determine what a consnsual adult couple can do in the bedroom.  That is rather extreme

Or it's the fact that I'm defending someone I admire. I guess we can't admire certain elected officials anymore.

I won't turn this into an issue of whether or not he's an extremist. You clearly have a hard time sticking to the topic.

The point I was making is anyone that can;t admit that someone that thinks the government should poke its head in the privite bedromm manners of consenting adults is an extremist, must be obsessed with that person

I don't believe he's extreme. I don't believe John Kerry was the most liberal Senator in 2004. Does that mean I am obsessed?

That's because he's a political hero of mine and I feel the need to respond to that nonsense. Responding to that doesn't make people obsessed.

I would say Russ Feingold & Chuck Schumer are heros of mine (although not sure I would go that far), but I don't respond to every little thing written about them

Why exactly is someone who thinks the government has he right to poke its head in the privite bedroom affairs of CONSENTING adults a hero of yours?

There are no far right senators. Only center-right (a few Republicans), center-left (most Republicans and a few Democrat - ex. Ben Nelson), and far-left (most Democrats).

Anyway, I don't have credibility problems, so I don't have to post proof.

I was comparing to the world-wide human political spectrum.

By that standard, almost every senator would have been an extremist in 1789.

He never suggested that he actually agreed with that idea but if he did have that opinion, I would disagree. I have actually disagreed with Santorum in the past, Smash.

Actually he did  (Comments below from his AP report.  SO he basically feels that the government (federal or state) should be able to intervene in the privite bedroom affairs of consenting adults


I've been very clear about that. The right to privacy is a right that was created in a law that set forth a (ban on) rights to limit individual passions. And I don't agree with that. So I would make the argument that with President, or Senator or Congressman or whoever Santorum, I would put it back to where it is

And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire. And we're seeing it in our society.

Not true at all. Look at the 2008 boards. Santorum is mentioned here and there and I don't respond everytime. Also, he's not extreme. You can't seem to get that through your head.

his view right there says it all.  Just because he isn't completley off the wall nuts like Falwell, Coburn or Bunning doesn't mean he isn't extreme
