A Quote by Rick Santorum

I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman, I'm called a bigot.

But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.

Husbands and wives, if you guys don’t have a beautiful marriage, a loving marriage, a romantic marriage you are ruining your eeman!

Why the heck should somebody write it down? There's nothing here worth hearing."
