I think it's a reflection upon the broken system, but right now it's next to impossible to be elected PUSA without being part of the establishment.

Rick Santorum Protest: 2 Men Kiss During Rally, Crowd JeersTwo men interrupted a Rick Santorum event in Illinois with a same-sex kiss, and were promptly ejected by security when the crowd turned on them.
The fracas began in the middle of Santorum's remarks (at the 3:38 mark in the above video clip), when two protesters, identified as Timothy Tross and Ben Clifford, began yelling "mic check!" then embraced before bowing showily to the crowd. When the crowd realizes what was happening, they began to boo and chant "U-S-A!" in unison.
The duo would would not reveal whether they were gay to Palatine Patch reporter Savannah Ziegelbauer, emphasizing Santorum's oft-divisive gay rights policy, not their sexuality, as the important issue. "I don't think the message should be about what my sexuality is," Tross said. "It's the message that he's saying about sexuality that matters."
Santorum was speaking at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois, in advance of the Illinois primary on Tuesday, March 20. His appearance had been expected to draw protests from gay rights supporters, as well as some former high school classmates.

Gingrich criticized the remarks as “inexcusable” and called on President Obama to personally apologize.
“It is exactly wrong, it divides the country,” the former House speaker said. “If people on the left want to talk about radio talk show hosts, then everybody in the country ought to hold the president accountable when somebody at his event says something as utterly, totally unacceptable as Robert De Niro said last night, and I call on the president to apologize for him.”
“I do want to say one thing on behalf of both my wife, and on behalf of Karen Santorum and on behalf of Ann Romney, and that is I think Robert De Niro is wrong,” Gingrich said as he began his speech at Strawn's Eat Shop Too. “I think the country is ready for a new first lady, and he doesn’t have to describe it in racial terms.”
I agree, inappropriate. I think our first lady is pretty great too, but leave the race out of it. She was there too. wtf
Gingrich demands Obama apologize for De Niro joke
By NBC's Alex Moe
SHREVEPORT, La. -- Newt Gingrich slammed Robert De Niro’s comments last night at a fundraiser for President Obama, demanding that the president apologize for the actor's joke that America isn't yet again ready for a white first lady.
“I do want to say one thing on behalf of both my wife, and on behalf of Karen Santorum and on behalf of Ann Romney, and that is I think Robert De Niro is wrong,” Gingrich said as he began his speech at Strawn's Eat Shop Too. “I think the country is ready for a new first lady, and he doesn’t have to describe it in racial terms.”
At an Obama for America fundraiser in New York City Monday night, attended by Michelle Obama, De Niro joked about a possible GOP first lady.
"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?" De Niro asked at the top of his remarks at Locanda Verde restaurant as the crowd yelled “no.” “Too soon, right?," he said.
A spokeswoman for the first lady issued a statement shortly after Gingrich concluded his remarks, calling De Niro’s comments “inappropriate.”
"We believe the joke was inappropriate," Olivia Alair, campaign press secretary to the first lady, said in a statement.
Gingrich criticized the remarks as “inexcusable” and called on President Obama to personally apologize.
“It is exactly wrong, it divides the country,” the former House speaker said. “If people on the left want to talk about radio talk show hosts, then everybody in the country ought to hold the president accountable when somebody at his event says something as utterly, totally unacceptable as Robert De Niro said last night, and I call on the president to apologize for him.”
While Gingrich stood up for all three women involved in the actor’s joke, he of course has his favorite.
“I have a personal preference, obviously, for Callista to be the first lady,” the speaker said to cheers in the room. “But, I tell you, I would be very proud and very honored to have Ann Romney as the first lady or Karen Santorum as the first lady. I think that just what De Niro said is just beyond the pale and he should be ashamed of himself.”
Apparently, irony is utterly lost on the Republicans.
I also don't understand how dense people can be about how the power differential impacts race relations (and gender and sexual orientation etc).
I think that just what De Niro said is just beyond the pale and he should be ashamed of himself.”

This is the Americana most Americans love, also including those with or without spouses and families.
“[clean energy] is an industry that is going to be explosive in its growth in the next decade.”
When lieutenant governor Kerry Healey, a fellow Republican, called for suspending the state’s 23.5 cent gas tax during a price spike in May 2006, Romney rejected the idea, saying it would only further drive up gasoline consumption. “I don’t think that now is the time, and I’m not sure there will be the right time, for us to encourage the use of more gasoline,” Romney said, according to the Quincy Patriot Ledger’s report at the time. “I’m very much in favor of people recognizing that these high gasoline prices are probably here to stay.”
“No question in my mind that these—I call them the gas-hike trio—that those three are on a mission to drive up the price of gasoline and all energy so that they can finally get their solar and their wind to be more price-competitive. That’s what they want to do,” Romney said on Monday.
I guess their wives don't still look wonderful?
And how is it unique to Romney? It's not as though the President doesn't have a good love story and 20 year marriage of his own. It's not as though Santorum and Paul haven't been married forever. Newt is the only candidate who doesn't have the love story.
It's just not that important anyway; It's a nice story, but it's not a reason to be president

Why are we examining any of their personal relationships?
Shouldn't we be worried about how they're going to run our country?
I do think however, behind closed doors that Michelle could be a potential spouse beater though, not saying she does, but I bet you a soda that the genetic propensity is there.

And then we wonder who votes for the troglodytes in Congress.
You don't think it a plus in having a strong personal relationship with your spouse as a benefit in running a country, business or enterprise?
