Santorum Staffer Says Women Shouldn’t Be President Because It’s Against God’s Will

In an article about the reasons Rep. Michele Bachmann’s campaign fizzled, the Des Moines Register points to “sexism among conservatives,” singling out an offensive email written by a staffer to Rick Santorum:

Rival presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s Iowa coalitions director, Jamie Johnson, sent out an email saying that children’s lives would be harmed if the nation had a female president.
“The question then comes, ‘Is it God’s highest desire, that is, his biblically expressed will, … to have a woman rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?’ ” Johnson’s email said.

2. If Mr. Frothy speaks and no intelligent person is there to hear him - did he make a sound?

4. No sound....except....

...on the fact that the people who do hear and listen to him....not so intelligent....

3. Yup. It's true. Just ask the men who wrote the Bible

they'll tell you that God wants women in a subordinate position (there's a joke here, I know).

5. Have Penis Will Rule

6. First off, a President does not "rule" those things

This guy is a moran.

And the debate was had in the 16th century when Elizabeth I ascended the English throne - likely earlier examples may be found.

7. As the executor of God's estate, I guarantee you that His Will is not contestable.

8. What has God said about Santorum?

[EFerrari]

9. Wait, did he mean God or Tony Soprano?

10. rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?

First, the church is not controlled by the President of the USA.

It would appear that he wants the institutions of family to be controlled by men even in families where the man is gone. How does he plan to make that happen? Have the churches demand women consult with them and follow their requirements? As it stands now even in families where both the mother and father are still in the household does not mean the man is doing the better job. And not necessarily according to god's will.

How many times have the lives of children been harmed by men wearing the cloth of the church. What about the lives of grown adults being harmed by men of the cloth demanding that they live a specific way?

11. That staffer is effed up in so many ways it ain't funny

Santorum should fire him for stupidity if nothing else.

That said I'm sure the basic sentiment does meet with Santorum's approval.

These people are insane and evil.
