In a December 1995 Philadelphia Magazine article — which the Huffington Post pulled from Temple University archives — Santorum conceded that he “was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress… But it had never been something I thought about.” Asked why he changed his mind, he said that he “sat down and read the literature. Scientific literature,” only to correct himself and note that religion was a part of it too.

Hell hath no fury like a hypocritically closeted, pandering Republican scorned. Today, illegal immigration battle axe Sheriff Paul Babeu – from the the blistering hellhole of Arizona – stepped down as a co-chairman of Mitt Romney’s campaign in the state amid accusations that he threatened to deport a former Mexican boyfriend, when the man refused to keep quiet about their relationship.

Baldie Babeu – one of those “rising stars” in the Republican Party – is known for his hard-line stance against illegal immigration –  appearing on Fox News and at the Conservative Political Action Conference last week where he talked about the federal government’s “assault” on Arizona for suing over the racist immigration law SB 1070. Babeu, 43, has been serving as co-chair for Mitt Romney’s state election committee and had been stumping for Romney in recent months.

The Sherrif’s boyfriend – a 34-year-old Mexican man identified only as “Jose” –  said that he and Babeu began the affair while he was working for the Sheriff’s congressional campaign, and that it continued for 4 years, until Jose ended the relationship after suspecting Babeu of cheating. And, because nothing says love like a threat of deportatio­n, Jose alleges that after refusing to sign a hush agreement about his relationship with Mr. Babeu, the sheriff and his lawyer tried to intimidate him with threats of deportation. Jose is not in the country illegally.

In a press conference today, Mr. Babeu admitted to a romantic relationship with Jose, and to being gay, but denied that he had threatened to deport him. He further denied ever believing that Jose was in the country without legal status, and that he does not  “have the authority to deport anyone” (that has never stopped a bigot sherrif in Arizona before). He told reporters he did not break any laws, casting the allegations as attempts to derail his congressional campaign. The Romney campaign – of course -quickly accepted the gay man’s resignation. Mormon law is no bueno with the gays.

The Romney campaign was quick to force him out as soon as they found out he was a gay, yet, this poor schmuck still supports Romney. The Romney camp, however, refuses to reciprocate­e the support because they are bigots who despise his personal life style – hence his resignation­, and them being okay with it….

The good Sheriff said on his campaign website that he wants to be judged on his 20 years of service in the military, with two deployments – including one in Iraq, and by the “value” he has brought to his community, ignoring the fact that had the Military known he was gay, they would have done exactly what Romney did….boot his gay ass out the door. Poor schmuck – trying to find his place. He’s not going to find comfort in the Republican party unless he admits his sexual debauchery is a result of deviant behavior, and that he is willing to be converted to a straight person (ala Marcus Bachmann). He needs to come over to the dark side with us libtards! We like the gays and the Mexicans!

An interesting aside that no one has mentioned:  Babeu served as Headmaster and later as Executive Director of the DeSisto School in Stockbridge, Massachusetts from 1999-2001.  The DeSisto School was a private, “therapeutic” boarding school with tuition over $70,000. The school closed in 2005 following years of scandal, allegations of abuse and neglect, law suits for breach of contract and fraud, and allegations by state authorities that the school endangered the health and safety of its students. A dorm parent was sentenced to four to five years in state prison for sexually molesting six DeSisto students. The Cult Awareness Network, Inc. placed the DeSisto School on its list of cults it kept records on.

Piers Morgan – Larry King replacement and subject to the crown – asked the fetus ghoul if he had any opinion on the prescription drug abuse debate and whether he feels there needs to be some new kind of regulation to stop the epidemic of doctor shopping and pharmacy trolling. In other words, why does Aunt Ethel find it so easy to get plastered on Oxy and Ambien, and I get busted for buying – with cash – an 8-ball of meth in the Spaceland parking lot? This is the transcript of his response. It is evident that the frothy mix has taken the same Word Salad 101 Course at Idiot U that Mosselini did.

Seniors in Chisago County playing bingo for canned peas and “Fiddle Faddle”

Two intrepid NY Times reporters trekked to the freezing, middle-class tundra of Chisago County, Minnesota – where 57 percent of voters opted for man-on-dog, fetus in the freezer mental midget Rick Santorum in last week’s caucus. The reporters asked Chisago County idiots how they felt about the government, and not surpirsingly, most of them said they hated it and wanted it to die. Careful questioning by the reporters and the teabaggers were eventually read-faced and sobbing, admitting that they take thousands of dollars in benefits from said hateful Government every year. See, if you use inconsequential wedge issues and barely veiled racist stereotypes, you get a heapin’ helping of low-information voters to vote against their own best interests. These idiots always imagine it’s the blahs wearing expensive sneakers and driving Cadillacs receiving the cash. They just don’t realize it’s actually them, because they’re idiots. Let’s hope neither of the major parties figures this out, or we could end up with a lot of useless, hypocritical, self-blinded shitheads in Congress! Best part is, it’s all on tape, like a movie. Watch the AWESOME VIDEO now.

Revulsion. Anathema. Degradation. Ignominy. It’s like the man said about obscenity: “I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it”. The sleazy Walmart Adidas track suits, the cheap, colonial powdered costume wigs, the rap pretentiousness, the finger-jabbing,  the entire frothy mix of white desperation for coolness, and its massive, massive, MASSIVE  fail. How the hell did this act not totally empty the room? Is it some sort of late phase, SERE desensitization training? Are they blind/deaf mutes? Are these poor folks super-glued to their folding chairs? As a sign of the prospects for culture in general, this is a terrible, terrible portent. Hieronymus Bosch painted a room in Hell that looked exactly like this, but thankfully, there was no sound.

Take notice of the repressed teabagger lady rocking that front-butt (British Colonial style)  fanny pack, and how the room relaxes after the lone black guy walks out (hopefully to go and get a cap to return and bust in all their asses).
