He suggests to a New Hampshire audience that an imprisoned father is preferable to a same-sex parent.
Reporting from Manchester, N.H.—
For the second time in as many days, Rick Santorum waded into the issue of gay marriage, suggesting it was so important for children to have both a father and mother that an imprisoned father was preferable to a same-sex parent.Citing the work of one anti-poverty expert, Santorum said, "He found that even fathers in jail who had abandoned their kids were still better than no father at all to have in their children's lives."

As a Republican, I disagree with this statement. I think the statistic is taken out of context and holds no validity in comparison to having two same-sex parents. I don't think this guy will be getting my vote.
Most of Santorum's publicized comments have been taken out of context. The left has suddenly become afraid he will be the next POTUS, and is scrambling for something to throw at him.
I wonder how many of the electorate really care one way or the other about same-sex marriage. We care about the economy and other vital issues. I do hope that the statement cited was taken out of context. I know a terrific same-sex (male) marriage in which their daughter is thriving. I would find that a much more healthy relationship than a single-parent home where the other parent is incarcerated.
What does being repub have to do with it?
