In an effort to underscore his core beliefs leading up to this Tuesday nights primary contests, former Senator Rick Santorum made a campaign swing through the seventeenth century today. At the first stop of his ambitious journey, Mr. Santorum restated his reason for seeking the White House: I am running for President today because the position of Spanish Inquisitor is no longer available. The former Pennsylvania senator served up red meat to his seventeenth-century supporters, telling them, Since we all agree that contraception is a bad idea, its time to take a harder look at electricity and soap. Mr. Santorum, who said that in his first day in office he would repeal the Age of Enlightenment, stressed that he had home-schooled all seven of his children: That means there are at least eight people in this country who dont understand evolution. In a lighter moment, Senator Santorum told his audience what he said was his favorite joke: A Kenyan, a Muslim, and a socialist walk into a bar. And then he makes everyone get an abortion. Elsewhere on the campaign trail, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich scored points with this comment on education: We should leave no child behind, only wives.
