Seems as though santorum has going back to the 18th century where women were here on earth to make babies, those days are past women do not need to have 13 children to have 5 survive.

In fact why is Rick santorum not talking about jobs.  The reason is that they do not have an answer out of the job problem, maybe because their super PAC backers (the corporations) out sorced all jobs that once were here.

i do not know, of course, whether US would have behaved better towards
alien pops if it had been as homogeneous as, say, korea or netherlands.
but the region, aka, as USA hand not been a country or nation like korea
or denmark.
it had always been just a multiethnic region ruled by richer families.
and these families, tho themselves ordered in power tiers, never ever
tolerated, but one agent to represent them.
the individuals running for office could thus smear, insult one another to
a very high degree and the ONE PERCENT couldn’t care less about it
because it knew ALL politicians, judges, and WH members would always
represent only the ONE PERCENT.

Things have reached the point where Democrats, if they refuse to sink to the levels of the Republican debates and attack ads, might win simply because they “choose the high road” even though it isn’t very high—or high enough to speak realistically to the crucial needs of the country for the next four years.  Or, on the other hand, as the Republican campaign is so intellectually and politically bankrupt, if Democrats actually do speak to the crucial needs, will they sound “too academic” by comparison?  Media has muddled the communication field, and government has so gagged the public, that it has become impossible to “read” where the “common denominator” may be. 
  In short, nobody has a clear asnse anymore of to whom we are speaking.  A kind of political Babel.
