First thought, I am glad he isn't president.

As any sane human being should.

My thought is Santorum is just a rabble-rouser who likes to play mud-slinging game in its most extreme, yet disturbingly effective form. What bothers me isn't so much that he said it, but that enough people will latch onto it to keep such ludicrous tactics viable.

Nah... I'm good, but thanks for asking.

He probably could have compared the Republican battle against Obamacare to any kind of struggle, he just decided to take the Apartheid route lol.

Politicians say so many stupid things, I don't even care anymore. I just expect it from them.

I don't like Obamacare, but to compare it to apartheid is pretty fd up. It was harsher than the segregation we had here in the US. But what I find truly ironic is that its people like Santorum who supported Apartheid.

Yeah, it wasn't the greatest choice of words. Politicians aren't the most empathetic individuals.

It is funny that you can't really compare it to any other struggle. Everyone else has had to live with something unpleasant and tried to fix it. He is just trying to prevent it from becoming unpleasant.

Do you mean the Apartheid or Obamacare?

Politicians will say anything to make their opponents look bad. Remember all the fuss about Obama's birth certificate?

You are correct about that. Remember when the democrats accused Romney of killing that guy because he got fired from Bain Capital and later died of cancer. Accusing someone of murder is much harsher than comparing Obamacare to apartheid.

No surprise really, both parties at the end of the day care more about being in power than their policies being implemented :/

Rick Santorum is a radical and the vast majority of Americans will not vote for a radical for President.
