if memory serves me correctly, Al Gore ran a pretty bad campaign -- running away from Bill Clinton's record at the height of his popularity.

You remember correctly.

It was about the time of the Lewinski thing and he made the choice to distance himself.

Unfortunately (?), the... issue did not stain as much as other things did and people still liked Clinton. So Al threw away a major advantage... and still nearly won.

And another one proves my point. Again, we can count on libertrolls to spew their vitreol. This girl is very likely going to die sooner that later, folks. Maybe someday you'll discover your humanity and understand tha hurt that a parent would feel for their child going through something like this.

I was pointing out how hateful Santorum is towards a group. Do I believe Santorum cares for his daughter? Yes. Do I believe Santorum hates gay people? Yes. Do I believe that should his daughter live to an older age and come out as gay that Santorum would then hate his daughter? Yes. He's a man so full of hate that it could easily dominate any love he feels. He's the one who's been out there spewing hateful rhetoric for months, not liberals.

Hate or disapproval? There's a big difference, but seldom understood by those on the left.

Serious question - do you have any direct quotes where Santorum says he hates gays? I honestly don't know if he has, which is why I'm asking.

Mitt is a dream compared to Santorum. It has been awhile since such an abrasive candidate has made this far in a presidential race.

Newt is just as abrasive as Santorum, yes? Seems like we got a twofer.

No.

Newt was an ass. A power hungry hypocritical ass.

Santorum was a half blind Christian Puritan who would have Jesus spinning in his grave.... if he were in one.

I don't think he "hates" gay people, but he sure doesn't think they should be able to adopt, have homosexual sex, or enter into any kind of civil union.

He thinks they should go back in the closet, in general. When it comes to the military he thinks they should go back in the closet and deny that a closet exists.
