Rick Santorum Relieved No One Has Asked Him About Interracial Marriage Yet

[joeybee12]

LAFAYETTE, LA—Saying his campaign has "really dodged a bullet so far," Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told reporters today that, much to his relief, no one has asked his opinion on interracial marriage. "No question about it, what I'd have to say about the topic would absolutely terrify anyone with a conscience," said Santorum, adding that his longstanding and carefully thought-through views on whether two individuals of different races should be allowed to marry would put him so far out of the mainstream that it’d be "hilarious how insane [he]’d sound." "The truth is, if anyone decided to ask me flat out if I approve of marriages between black men and white women, for example, the flood gates would open and the bile I would spew would sink this campaign in 10 seconds tops." As of press time, reports of Santorum's mere reference to his incendiary views had caused his favorability ratings in Alabama and Mississippi to skyrocket.

1. Gotta love The Onion

It's so close to the truth, it's scary.

2. Some truth to this, but that's why it's funny

There are so many opinions Santorum maintains that goes against what mainstream America holds, the campaign is actually dodging a salvo of bullets.

What does he think happened to the dinosaurs? Does he think there even were dinosaurs?
Even though Newt Gingrich often stands next to him at debates, he doesn't believe we evolved from a lower form.
Though his supporters include the majority of all alien abductions and UFO sightings, does he believe in extraterrestrial life?
So much to learn about Santorum other than what's in a Google search.
