Santorum defended himself against charges of social engineering and called criticism of his tax plan "outrageous." "This is not social engineering," he said. "What's social engineering is the policies of the last 30 years that have robbed the family of the support that they used to have in the tax code." On Saturday at a campaign stop in Charleston, Santorum also talked about his own children and how they have shaped his anti-abortion views. He told the crowd that his disabled daughter Bella, 3, made him realize that God looks upon him as "disabled." "The gift that Bella gave me was the gift of looking at this disabled child who in the world's view will never be able to do anything for me other than love me," he said, according to MSNBC. "She is just a font of love as far as I' m concerned. And she made me understand that that's how the Father looks at me, disabled. Unable to do anything for him except love him. And he loves me unconditionally."

I won't even start explaining all the ways this portion is offending. What's that "the only thing disabled people is able to do for you is love you"? So, they are disable AND incompetent? Useless? And that explains why shouldn't you abort a child product of raping, or an unplanned pregnancy comming when you can hardly support yourself, and the baby on the way would be in need of things you can't afford - no matter how much you sacrifice yourself - such as medical care, or so. Not to mention all other perfectly valid reasons to do so. Just because "God is Disabled" and looks to you thought disabled people.
Well, when "God" said that Santorum was disabled, he/she wasn't kidding
Logic problems in the Santorum quotes, among other problems.
It's social engineering to give tax breaks to people with children or to reduce those tax breaks or to increase them. It's all social engineering. Using tax discrimination based on having dependents or not IS social engineering. Why not just admit it?
Nazi Germany and fascist Italy both gave tax incentives for people to have as many children as possible and tax penalties to people who did not have children. There's some bad precedence here for what Santorum wants.
I'm playing the omnipotence card on this one. If God is all-powerful and nothing happens without God's will, then how could the tax code ever be against God's will? Clearly if God wanted the tax code to be different, it would be different, but it's not, so God must like it the way that it is. Makes sense to me.
Also, surprised to see so little mention of Rick Santorum's "google problem." Perhaps the multiple meanings of his name haven't caught on after all.
Santorum loves to use his faith as not only a shield but a justification to spout his anti- everything-that's-not-Catholic rhetoric. Hey Frothy, not all of us believe in God nor would we want to live in a world dictated by yours. So in a word, Fuck Off.
