Any man who would be President of these United States should first be vetted on decisions he has made in the past, and is making in the present, and might make in the future.
Such a thorough examination of Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum's judgment would surely disqualify him from becoming Commander In Chief. There have been countless statements and claims made by the former U.S. Senator that can best be described as bizarre.
Much of what Santorum has said or is saying is so ridiculous that it seems incredible that it could come from a Presidential candidate. Opposing the use of contraception is one of the most glaring examples.
The utterance of such statements--that run counter to what most of America is thinking--is politically dumb. Holding to convictions can be admirable, but when they involve opposition to such widely held beliefs as global warming, then the candidate's ability to think in a reasonable, rational way must come into question.
And to attack the words of a President--one whom nearly all Americans of every political persuasion hold in reverence--is, at best, unwise. To say, as he has said in recent days, that a JFK speech "makes me sick", and "makes me want to throw up" is an unforgivable affront to any President, and an inexcusable error in judgment.
We are told to "judge not, lest ye be judged" but Rick Santorum's thinking is the exception to the rule.

See what happens, Bill, when one gets carried away by his religious faith and inevitably thinks he is doing God's will? It's a good thing you are a non-practicing Catholic; otherwise, we might expect you to spew out the same kind of nonsense as Santorum. It would have made more sense if Santorum had expressed revulsion at JFK's debauchery, rather than attack him for his speech reaffirming the constitutional separation of church and state.
