Santorum: "I'm the one you want to take home to Mom"
Rick Santorum: Newt Gingrich Is 'Inconsistent' On Abortion, Stem Cell Research

Posted: 11/29/11 09:48 AM ET


Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said rival Newt Gingrich is "inconsistent" when it comes to issues social conservatives care about.

Santorum said the former House speaker could be in trouble with Christian conservatives in Iowa for relaxing his stance on the goals of the Susan B. Anthony List pledge, the Des Moines Register reports. The pledge asks candidates to "advance pro-life legislation to permanently end all taxpayer funding of abortion in all domestic and international spending programs," a mission Gingrich seems to have wavered from, based on his recent comments on abortion and embryonic stem cell research.

Despite Santorum's strict conservative views on these issues, Iowa voters haven't rallied around him yet, instead throwing their support to Gingrich. Santorum said he feels his moment will come when voters in the key primary state become more aware of Gingrich's record, nothing that they "may try to look for another candidate."

"I may not be the guy that the girls are initially attracted to when they walk into the dance hall, but ultimately once you get to know all the folks, I'm the one you want to take home to Mom," Santorum said.

24. Could he sound more like a nine-year-old?


I'm always cringing when I listen to James Dobson, Santorum, etc. speak. The "family values" guys all have the syntax and vocal quality of little boys.

Once I thought I had it figured out - they mimic being "innocent boys" to fool women, to make women think they're harmless, to appeal to the "mommies" while actually harboring rampant misogynistic tendencies.

Then I decided they're just screwed up by their own daddies, and affect the little boy speak as a way to defend themselves from dominant male abuse. In any case, they'd make interesting subjects of a study on speech patterns, because they all try to sound like children rather than like grown men.

:shrug:










And my mother would kick my ass if I brought Santorscum home. Just sayin....

It's meant to evoke the good old days. When everything pure and light, and everyone knew their place. Remember those days? he's saying. It can be like that again, if you vote for him. He can make it all right again. He'll erase all the freaks and poor people. He'll make it aallll better.

33. My mother was dead way before I was old enough to take anyone home to her
But just the same, being as my mother's parents were staunch Democrats, it would be hard to imagine my mother doing anything but spitting on Santorum and ordering him away from her presence.
