Santorum Holds Back the Tears from Colmes Comment

Rick Santorum gets emotional about the comments Alan Colmes made about Santorum's son who lived only two hours. Colmes called it crazy but later apologized, which Santorum accepted.

Santorum may be an extremist on social issues, but he doesn't deserve this being dragged into public. Yet he handles it well and looks like a more personable guy than any of his Republican opponents. Politically, he comes out looking good; personally, it is painful.

To capitalize politically on the death of one's son is beyond offensive.

@elajejandrodeburito 1) What moral line did he cross in showing his children their sibling and so acknowledging that he existed and was a part of their family? You may find it strange and distasteful, but seriously... what is so immoral about this? 2) You're clearly not an expert in biology. Corpses don't immediately become disease-ridden the second they die. It takes time for disease to set in and bacteria to grow. 3) Who the hell are you to judge how a family grieves?

Santorum is a fucking ghoul.

If you're going to try and get sympathy votes from voters by using your dead kids, you better expect some criticism.

Santorum is a really nice and sincere man, I hope he becomes president.

Taking a dead body home to prove to your children they have a brother is a bit unnerving and unnecessary. I remember during the summer many years back when there was a power outtage, my aunt died and they weren't able to refrigerate her corpse. Three days later when we had her wake/funeral and it was open coffin, it was very, very unsightly and just disgusting. I love my aunt, but I did not need or want to see (and smell) that. I respect the sanctity of life, but dead bodies are empty shells.

Q. Rick, do you know Phil English?

A. Well, ah, hm, ah ,well...

Q. Let me refresh your memory. He made it happen so you would be the first president of Young Republicans at Pedo State, as a friggin' frosh.

A. Oh, yeah! Now I remember. Great guy.

Q. Did you know your mentor was arrested for soliciting sex from an underage black boy?

A. He was 10, but he looked thirteen.

Q. Why did you fund this Child Fuck Institution with cash, through 3 different investigations, until the last boy got butchered?

@JesusDillinger A couple of points. The first, I am no Republican but was Rick Santorum involved in politics before his son was born? Secondly, Alan Colmes brought this up and Rick is now responding. Third, you are a fool. Please keep your ridiculous commentary on this subject to yourself. You are obviously someone who feeds on trying to be 'shocking' and 'cutting edge.' You come of as all do and it is indeed all the same to them.

@bigholmes31 I agree, but friend, I do not trust this immature little creep Santorum for one second. He is nowhere near capable of being a statesman. Total fluffmiester and a sell out.

[bigholmes31]

@JesusDillinger Ok, fine. It might have been offensive for Colmes to say it on national television. It doesn't take away from the barbarity of it all. He brought a dead baby home to show his children. Do not take that as some form of grievance or mourning. It's freakish and goes against the very "sanctity" of human life that he so spouts about against abortion, gay marriage, etc.
