The Prince of Slime, Presidential Wanna-Be Rick Santorum’s office generated these talking points for his Republican co-conspirators to use on their constituency of morons:

* This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue.

* This is a great political issue, because Senator Nelson of Florida - has already refused to become a cosponsor and this is a tough issue for Democrats.

So it’s not about Terry at all, it’s about lookin’ good in the political neighborhood! Convince your right-wing-fundamentalist-reality-challenged biblebanging bigoted butthead supporters that their values are your values.

No greater love hath a man than not to impale his neighborhood politician on a sharp object. (Note to Secret Service: This is a parody of a threat, no real threat is implied or intended.)
