‘Spouses matter': Rick Santorum warns voters Scott Walker’s wife may make him soft on gays

[DonViejo]

Tap dancing around Ronald Reagan’s “11th Amendment” — “Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican” — prospective 2016 GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum became the second Republican candidate to criticize a rival’s wife.

According to Politico, the presidential candidate took a veiled swipe at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s wife, saying her approval of same-sex marriage could influence her husband’s policies.

“Spouses matter,” Santorum said in an interview Monday. “When your spouse is not in-sync with you — particularly on cultural issues, moral issues — [you] tend not to be as active on those issues.”

In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Walker’s wife, Tonette along with the couple’s two sons, said she was not pleased with her husband’s disapproval of same-sex marriage

5. This is how repugs fight:

"You guys go fight the men, and I'll stay here and beat up their girlfriends."

6. I'll cheer for anyone who slams Walker, for any reason.

Other pubs will pay a lot more attention to one of their own than anything we might say.

11. Translation: My wife knows to keep her mouth shut.

I kept her barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. I wear the pants and I am King of my castle. The little woman knows her place and I have already chosen a few First Lady duties for her - among them:

"China: How to pick the best Reagan Pattern for your dining needs"

and

"The Merits of Homeschooling: Continuity - Let your level of ignorance be their level of ignorance".

12. Frothy said what?

[Erose999]

13. Santorum: "I'm hard for -ehh, I mean - ON- the gays."

[blm]

15. Walker's campaign made sure that 'news' made 'news'. Straight from BushInc playbook.

News would always get out that Barbara Bush was pro-choice. And that Laura Bush was pro-choice. And that the Bush daughters were pro-choice.

Message to moderate voters from Bushes - trust us, we don't MEAN what we are saying to placate the rabid reactionaries of the GOP base.

16. Rick the Wishful Dog Fucker is running for the WH again?
