Santorum Freaks Out At Gov. Perry On Gay Marriage Stance; Other Gibberish Spewed
Rick on Rick violence is always fun to watch.
Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, criticized Perry three different times at the Western Conservative Summit, where both are speaking to conservative activists. First, before a book signing event, Santorum told reporters he had a ‘difference of opinion’ with Perry on gay marriage and said it was wrong and divisive to create a patchwork of marriage laws in the 50 states. Then, during a question-and-answer session with activists, Santorum unloaded on the governor.
‘States do not have the right to destroy the American family. It is our business,” he said. ‘It is not fine with me that New York has destroyed marriage. It is not fine with me that New York is setting a template that will cause great division in this country.’
Santorum was referring to Perry’s now-famous statement last week in Aspen that he was ‘fine’ with New York adopting a gay marriage law. Perry, citing 10th Amendment protections of states’ rights, had also said that it was ‘their business.’ Perry has since backtracked from the remarks, telling a prominent social conservative leader that he was not actually ‘fine’ with New York’s gay marriage law. That didn’t dissuade Santorum, who has obviously been following Perry’s comments closely.
