I wrote into a jewish news site to discuss my beleifs regarding Mr. Santorum today.
They printed my comment... mostly .
I made a comment about him being anti-gay. The site changed it to anti-"toeiva". This means things that are completely forbidden and an abomination. Clearly in this day and age, we must have sensitivity for others. If Mr. Santorum is anti-gay that is a clear concern. But of couse, if they print anti-toeiva instead, it implies that Mr. Santorum is a true warrior of the real faith. He really is not. But I digress. Here is the comment as printed:

I am surprised that the GOP has not already embraced Mr. Santorum. Afterall, he is the quinessential republican candidate being pro-life, anti-toeivah and of course a nice little christian ‘warrior’ huh? But of course, if you ask me, Santorum belongs in a sanatorium. This guy is no progressive thinker and I do not anticipate it would be good for jews or any person in this nation to elect a farce like Santorum.
But of course, where are all the voices to speak of Mr. Huntsman who has foreign policy experience, intense experience with China, conservative values and a more focused approach to industry in America and the economy. Huntsman is a smart person’s choice for the GOP nod and I will tell you this, lots of the liberal left likes him a lot. Translation: he can win.
I felt that the word anti-gay was more relevant here as I am discussing a group whose rights are at stake under the constitution and not the idea as to whether the situation is truly right in a moral and religious sense. That is a different discussion.
