Rick Santorum is a bottomless cup of repulsive, dangerous and misguided views. He's a radical far-right Republican who, in spite of this seemingly endless primary process, hasn't choked on his own tongue yet -- at least from the point of view of conservative Republicans. The rest of us remember his ridiculous "blah people" remarks from last month, but I imagine his use of a Southern Strategy dog whistle only helped his reputation with primary voters.

Over the weekend, Santorum said, "nterestingly enough, here is what they are forcing them to do -- in an insurance policy, they or forcing them to pay for something that costs just a few dollars. Is that what insurance is for? The foundational idea that we have the government tells you that you have to pay for everything as a business. Things that are not really things you need insurance for, and still forcing on something that is not a critical economic need, when you have an economic distress, where you would need insurance. But forcing them even more to do it for minor expenses."

That's right. Apart from being a jumbled grammatical mess, Santorum said that birth control costs "just a few dollars." It's so inexpensive, in fact, it shouldn't even really require insurance and it's not an "critical economic need." At first glance, I thought Santorum might just be confused. Maybe he's thinking about condoms, which are inexpensive. But Santorum has been demagoguing the birth control issue for many years and he knows what's what.

Include both the cost of your OB/GYN visits and your prescriptions, and don't expect to be reimbursed by the Santorum campaign for obvious reasons. At the very least, however, we can consider such a gesture a retaliatory strike against the ongoing Republican war against women -- a war, by the way, which the Republicans are winning by attrition.
