Retrogressive is the Hallmark of GOP

Rick Santorum has emerged as the Super Star of the GOP for the month of February at CPAC 2012. He has obviously persuaded the GOP with his charisma, winning debates and profound ideology; hold it right there.

Rick Santorum is leading the pack with a retrogressive ideology that has been the hallmark of the GOP, but now it is cemented by the fact that no other brand in the GOP has a chance of moving into a position to be heard within the party. How retrogressive they will go no one knows, but at this point, they are passed being conservative to being severely conservative as Mitt Romney now describes himself.

This week Rick Santorum is opposed to women in the military which is not surprising at all considering of his positions on family values and women's right to define themselves. Santorum does not believe women capable of making decisions for themselves on matters of their mental health, physical health which includes reproductive health, spiritual health, nor upon where their soul may rest. Rick Santorum's frame of reference is a yoke of women that stop subscribing to men's idea of what is a women's place. Rick Santorum thinks that a women's place would be back to non-voting days prior to 1920s, historically referred to as the woman suffrage days.

Amazingly, the Catholic Church has found a rallying cry for their patrons, ie, stripping women of their right to choose. Yet, the church and most all their followers were silent at the abuses lead by the priest against children. Very strange church values, nevertheless, it is at the expense those less able to afford healthcare.

Rick Santorum says he cannot separate himself from his religious beliefs...of tyranny of women.

And, Mitt Romney wants to one up him, what will come from his old religious traditional customs? I wonder more if severely conservative means polygamy.
