Rick Santorum is mentally deranged and sleeps with dead babies.

The first thing a moderator might do in seeing this title is delete this thread thinking I was completely out of line and trolling in a way that isn't at all acceptable.

Oh, how I wish that was true...

Apparently the Santorum family lost a child that was born premature but instead of having the premature baby brought to a funeral home...
they brought it home to have their family, their young children interact with it... interact with a dead baby, and then they slept with it in their bed.

While I stand in judgement of no man's religious beliefs, I don't want the Texas Chainsaw Massacre moving into the White House. I don't care what your religious beliefs are, this is mentally deranged behavior.
This needs to be known by everyone and I don't think he should be able to hide behind his religious beliefs on this one. Bringing a dead infant home for your children to... interact with... and to sleep with... is sick.

The person who gave me this story told me that his family actually posed for pictures with the dead baby.... Not sure where he heard that but after seeing this I wouldn't doubt it. Anyone who knows anyone who is planning on voting for Rick Santorum should probably break the bad news to them....

 

= Perry Third in Iowa

 

I've already determined that Santorum and Bachmann are religious nuts.

 

I rather have a father interact with his dead baby than for some jackass to throw an aborted baby in the trash.

I hope Rick Santorum is ready for some hateful bashing from the Ru Paul supporters!

 

This isn't that uncommon. Stillborn's are often left in the mother's room for several hours so that mom and dad can come to terms with the loss. On one occasion a mom carried her dead infant to a funeral directors vehicle rather than allow him to transport it.

 

If you've never lost a child, shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up.

 

Quite so. It's an appalling tragedy especially if it's the couples first. I've seen mom's go into shock when they're told that their baby is stillborn.

 

He is the most sane Candidate of all!

 

You know, I'd be willing to bet that even that moron Ron Paul would approve of Santorum's actions.

 

So can we apply this logic to all criticism of anyone?

If you have never ran the country, shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up. Who are you to judge?!

 

gee ..Of all the political history and corruption linked with Santorum ..one might think this thread was not needed..you could just stay focused on governmental issues without the smear.

Paul's news letters for profit are/were political in nature..this was a private moment.
Huge difference.

 

Sorry, having the infant in the hospital room with the family is one thing. Bringing it home for the night to kiss and cuddle with their children, pose for family photos and then sleep with for the night is not normal behavior.

 

Not Normal is using this for political debate.

It is a personal moment..Not open for public laundering to gain points.

I cried during once after my Dad died during the day ..months after for no reason... Is that a political weakness...or a human strength ?

 

Apples and oranges.

 

I really feel bad for the Santorum family.

Losing a child is something NO parent is programmed to go through. It is so tragic that I'm sure no one here has felt that pain - I sure haven't.

It may seem strange, but I really don't care. Could you imagine losing your baby child? Terrible, terrible and I hope no one in the media asks him about that.

 

Santorum is too war hungry for my blood... He should go enlist into the military and set foot on ground before talking a big talk, without ever taking that walk through a warzone every day.... Plus, war=$$$$$ which we dont have, and do we think its fair to kill other all the time thats not very religious, sounds like Santorum has that toxic religion... BTW Raegan's military budget was only $315 million/yr , now its $840 billion/yr and most of the military is spent on soldiers health care and permanent damage to their lungs etc... Ron Paul was a surgeon in military, he saw many people killed, helped innocent bystanders. Citizens in other countries die and our soldiers come back with more problems than all of us spoiled americans could ever imagine. Thats my 2cents

 

It is tough to lose a child, whether due to a premature birth of anything else.
However, bringing a premature baby that died home from the hospital to meet the family, rather than just having the family come to the hospital, is very strange behavior. Taking photos with a deceased infant long after it died? Bringing the child home from the hospital to sleep with in your bed with your family? I'm sorry but if I went to someones home and found them taking photos and coddling with a deceased infant that didn't die there I would be pretty mortified and with good reason. I don't think Santorum and his wife are all there.

 

Good comments. We don't always disagree.

 

maybe you jews do that in Wisconsin but here in california i think only the mentally deranged do that

 

Hey I'm a Ron Paul supporter, but I'm not going to bash this guy. I had a very good friend lose his second child during a home birth. The baby had been deceased for 30+ hours before delivery. They had no way of knowing. I watched in horror as my friend dealt with the blow his family experienced. They washed the baby, prayed over his soul, dressed him and held him for hours. It speaks volumes that a man can attest to experiencing such pain and sharing that fact. I applaud such abnormal behavior by today's standards. Don't let people who are jackasses and also support the same person I do misconstrue that all his supporters are stupid. People who are afraid to speak their own minds, even behind a computer screen, use names that have more prominence as an excuse to show their rears; albeit in the name of God/Allah or a Presidential candidate.

 

It's not Jewish, don't be one of those people who resort to name calling because you can't identify with why someone does something. Losing a child is hard, especially when you have built 9 months of excitement in expectation. Be kind in these instances, I wouldn't want you to ever have to experience the pain of losing your own flesh and blood. You don't know how you will react until you do. Some turn to alcohol and drugs, a few just want to experience the child that they will no longer ever have. It is no different than a man losing his wife of 60 years and holding on to her one more time before burying. Where is your decency?

 

I don't understand all the harsh words.
His baby was stillborn, and they brought baby home from hospital and slept with it for the night.

Sounds to me like they grieved their loss by doing this. Who are we to tell others of the 'appropriate' way to grieve a stillborn child?

 

You are making a good point.

 

I think Santorum would be one horrific POTUS. I think he is arrogant, relatively ignorant and borderline neurotic.

But I don't think this has anything to do with his POTUS qualifications.

Just like I did not think what Cain did with other women was or anyone else's private life.

It's called 'private' for a reason...it's none of ANYONE else's business.


Anyone that votes for a Presidential candidate on ANYTHING but the issues and policies that they promote - imo - should not be voting.

 

From the OT source this is the dialog of the grieving parents feelings after they lost their baby;

"Karen: I knew from all the years of being a nurse that when a baby would die, it was so crucially important in the grieving process that you held that baby. We had a room in the hospital and that’s where parents would go for times like that.

And we encouraged the children to be there that it was so important for the parents to hold that baby and have time with it. And it’s a very critical part of the grieving process where that initial step of saying goodbye, I love you, or whatever helps with the grieving."

What sickos, no not the parents that lost the baby, the true sickos are the bigots that feel the need to bash the way others grieve! They should be marching with the ultra conservative flip side of the coin, the Westbrough church nuts that condemn homosexual soldiers at their funerals etc!!! I say let them grieve the way they see fit. It may not be the way I would grieve but I am no bigot and so I do not judge them, that's Gods domain. I will say that maybe all that criticize the grieving parents and their honesty may not be bigots, maybe they are just lost and have not been taught how to empathize with those that are different from themselves. Hopefully they will educate themselves and rise to overcome the ignorance of such a way of thinking. Of course I am a sinner and full of defects, its called being human. I just become angry when I see people brow beating believers no matter if it is out of ignorance or evilness.
