Because this guy IS what Kennedy WASN'T. Ricky Boy personifies all the fearmongering garbage that was thrown at JFK fifty-two years ago. Santorum would try to govern America by Vatican rules.
I hope this guy never gets near the nomination, let alone the White House itself!
So sayeth this Irish-Canadian Catholic.

(14,337 posts)I watched the entire process intensely. When Jack said that HE would be running the country and the POPE, I was elated. Even as a preteen I did not WANT the Pope, or priests or nuns, running America. Oh, I though that would be HORRIBLE.
50 plus years later, it isn't only Santorum, but ALL the Repuke candidates who think the their religion should be running the country; good "Christians" all. When did we become a christian theocracy? I can tell you as a little girl I certainly didn't want that.
