No fooling, he really did. Rick Santorum is one of the most influential Republican senators right now. he might run for president.
probably the best quote i found from him is this one, wherein he illustrates one of the big problems in the gay marriage debate: people on the right don't think marriage is about affirming your love for the other person, but about making more babies.
"...it's common sense that a marriage is between a man and a woman. I mean, every civilization in the history of man has recognized a unique bond.
Why? Because -- principally because of children. I mean, it's -- it is the reason for marriage. It's not to affirm the love of two people. I mean, that's not what marriage is about. I mean, if that were the case, then lots of different people and lots of different combinations could be, quote, "married."
Marriage is not about affirming somebody's love for somebody else. It's about uniting together to be open to children, to further civilization in our society."
