Debra Saunders - Conservative Misinformer
Does Debra Saunders believe the readers of the San Francisco Chronicle are stupid? There is really no other explanation for her latest column in which she states that Democrats don’t care about ethics and then goes on to tell you that the reason people oppose someone like Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania is this:
“Other Republicans, however, seem guilty mostly of being targeted by Democrats for defeat in 2006. Take the prim Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. He is cited -- get this -- because his kids attend a Pennsylvania charter school (instead of a school in Virginia) and because he supported legislation to clarify the mission of the National Weather Service after a group gave his campaign $2,000. Oooooooo. (CREW's Melanie Sloan did not get back to me by my deadline.)”
You can go to this website called Santorum Exposed to find out why someone might really oppose the “prim” Santorum. Maybe in Debra’s world “prim” Rick is just a normal, everyday Republican out to do good for the country even if the country doesn't know what's "good" for them. No, it isn’t possible that Santorum is an extreme conservative who makes statements like this:
"In far too many families with young children, both parents are working, when, if they really took an honest look at the budget, they might confess that both of them really don’t need to, or at least may not need to work as much as they do… And for some parents, the purported need to provide things for their children simply provides a convenient rationalization for pursuing a gratifying career outside the home."
"But unlike abortion today, in most states even the slaveholder did not have the unlimited right to kill his slave."
"And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold — Griswold was the contraceptive case — and abortion. And now we're just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you — this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family."
She also mentions Tom DeLay being in trouble for getting a golf trip paid for by Abramoff. Wow, that's all Tom is in trouble for Debra? Couldn't possibly be anything else?
I will have to do some research on Richard Pombo who appears to be a favorite of Ms. Saunders. If Debra is backing him he must be a swell guy though.
