IT'S OVER FOR FETUS BOY SANTORUM

Fats Limbaugh put another torpedo into Fetus Boy's campaign by playing AND providing the transcript (which I repost here) of a answer FB gave in October 2011 to Caffienated Thoughts. Here's the video courtesy of TIME Magazine:

Here's the transcipt from Fats:
SANTORUM: (bad audio) We'll repeal Obamacare and get rid of the any idea that you have to abortion coverage and contraceptive coverage. One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about is, I think, the dangers of contraceptives in this country. The whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, "Contraception's okay." It's not okay. It's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.
This has upset libertarian Gene Healy at REASON:
A recent Time magazine symposium asked leading thinkers on the Right, "What Is Conservatism?" Anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist offered this answer: "Conservatives ask only one thing of the government. They wish to be left alone."

Tell that to Santorum, whose agenda rests on meddling with other people, sometimes with laws, sometimes with aircraft carrier groups.

"This idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do," Santorum complained to NPR in 2006, "that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues ... that is not how traditional conservatives view the world."
In his article, Healy refers to this Santorum interview from 2006.

Finally, FB is dead at the polls:
Public backs Obama in birth control fight, poll suggests
By Olivier Knox | The Ticket – 4 hrs ago

t's not even close: By a lopsided margin of 66 percent to 26 percent, Americans support President Barack Obama's proposal to require private health insurance plans to cover the full cost of birth control for women, according to a new CBS/New York Times public opinion poll.
Rephrasing the question to ask specifically about "religiously affiliated employers, such as a hospital or university," barely moved the needle, to 61 percent to 31 percent.
