‘Meet the Press’ Host Actually Asks Santorum if He Will Ban Working Mothers From His Administration

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum made the rounds on this week‘s Sunday morning news shows where despite his campaign’s messaging as a pro-Liberty candidate in tune with the needs of the poor and those unemployed from manufacturing jobs gone abroad, interviewers focused on the former Pennsylvania senator’s well-known positions on social issues. Both David Gregory of NBC and George Stephanopoulos of ABC pressed Santorum on his comments regarding female soldiers and passages in his book “It Takes a Family.”
During Sunday’s “Meet the Press”on NBC Gregory called into question Santorum’s perception of feminism, citing that what he has learned about the movement from his working wife, mother and sister, is respecting the choice of working or not working, not what he calls Santorum’s idea that “somehow the choice of working” undermines “the traditional family.” After Santorum described his own experience growing up in a family where his mother worked and made more money than his father, and went on to explain that the section of his book called into question was co-written by his wife in reference to her experience of not feeling affirmation from the feminist community after deciding to go from working as a lawyer to staying at home to raise their children, Gregory was still not satisfied.
The host’s next question has been criticized by some who say it insinuates an extremely strong claim that Santorum has discriminatory views towards women:
DAVID GREGORY: Let me ask you one more question about women. If you are President of the United States, and women want to work in your administration. Do single women without children only need apply? Are you going to respect the decision of women to come work for you if that’s the choice they make, or would they be somehow held by radical feminists?
RICK SANTORUM: Well, I think if you go back and look at the people who have worked for me you’d find single women, we have married women, you’ve got all sorts of folks. You know, those are decisions I affirm. If women want to come into the workforce, great. If they don’t, that’s great. You know, we’re going to look at the best-qualified people and there will be plenty of working moms who will be in our administration and be adding greatly to the conservative cause I believe in.
Mark Finkelstein of NewsBusters did not respond as cordially to Gregory’s line of questioning.
“On today’s Meet The Press, “moderator” David Gregory gave a good preview of how the MSM/Obama industrial complex will try to cariacture and demonize Rick Santorum should he become the Republican presidential candidate.”
[..]
“Consider that Gregory‘s formulation of ’only single women without children need apply’ is an echo of the prejudiced phraseology of the past, in which employers would advertise: ‘only [whites, Christians, etc.] need apply.’ So Gregory was seeking to associate Santorum with that sorry past.”
Santorum was met with equal tension on ABC’s “This Week.”
When host (and former top aide in the Clinton campaign and White House) George Stephanopoulos asked Santorum what he would say to those who think his comments on radical feminism alienate women and make him an easier candidate to beat in the general election, Santorum said that his remarks were in regards to affirming a woman’s choice to enter the workplace equally to the choice, as made by his wife, to give up her career to raise their kids.
“Well, that section of the book was co-written, if you want to be honest about it, by my wife, who is a nurse and a lawyer,” Santorum said. “And when she gave up that practice and she gave up, you know, nursing to raise a family, I mean, she felt very much that society was sort of — in many cases, looked down their nose at that decision. And all I’ve said is — and in talking with my wife and others like her — who’ve given up their careers that they should be affirmed in their decision like everybody else and that these are choices, and they’re tough choices.”
Santorum went on to say “I think it’s important that women both outside the home and inside the home are affirmed for their choices they make, that they are, in fact, choices, and society, you know, treats them in a sense equally for whatever decision they make that’s best for them.”
Stephanopoulos next asked the candidate about a quote from his book (reported in the Washington Post Friday without page citation) which appeared to surprise Santorum.
“You say that now, but you also wrote in the book that radical feminists have been making the pitch that justice demands that men and women be given an equal opportunity to make it to the top in the workplace. Isn’t that something that everyone should value?”
“Yeah, I have no problem — I don’t know — that’s a new quote for me,” a visually taken aback Santorum responded. “I don’t know what context that was given. But the bottom line is that people should have equal opportunity to rise in the workforce. And, again, if you read the entire section, I don’t think anyone will have a problem with the fact that what I was calling for — very clearly calling for is the treatment of an affirmation of whatever decision women decide to make.”
POLITICO notes that “It Takes a Family” was written in response to Hillary Clinton’s “It Takes a Village” in the 1990s, and was not generally taken by women’s rights groups as an affirmation for women. Mediaite video of Santorum’s exchange with Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”

With FREE ways to stop bearing children women will lose their rights in undetermined ways under this regime, if its jobs, benefits or something else.

It‘s like if you have two sheriff’s deputies knocking on the door of your home, you know it’s not the welcoming committee. If you lend yourself to an interview with either one of these leftist, Obama drum beating dolts, you have subjected yourself to heavy duty enemy fire. These “boys” are not looking for the truth, but are looking for things they or their cohorts in crime, the chief of whom is Barack Hussein Obama, to hang upon Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum either now or the general election, should Santorum accede to the nomination for President.
There is nothing that these slime balls, who masquerade as journalists, will lower themselves to, or demeaning, belittling craft that they will not use to attempt to malign and destroy a conservative, family valued man or woman.
Better come well prepared when dealing with these “stalwarts” of liberalism. Have both barrels loaded, declare your truths, and don’t give them any more to unload against with you than you have to, but do not back off in any way of your core principals and values.

Incidentally Blaze, Santorum responded quite admirably and the “boys” from the hood did not accomplish their purpose, which was to malign Santorum and to hang some “gotcha” on him. they are now murmuring to themselves, “Damn, we didn’t get him this time either.” You know what folks, they aren’t going to get him next time either, for there is nothing to get. Should he win the nomination, he will more than hold his own against Obama. Obama will be shown to be exactly what he is – a ruthless, tyrannical, traitorous, anti-Constitution, unAmerican, anti-small business, anti-family, ungodly freak from the dark side. Not opinion – it’s in his person, his character, his policies and his past. Dare, and again I say dare to expose it, for it is profoundly there.

You either know the complete context of Santorums “Combat Emotions” and making an attempt at BS or you have made no effort to investigate the bases for his comments; equally as irresponsible. Santorum was referring the natural tendencies for heterosexual men to take protective positions toward females as they have for all time. These “emotions” can cause male soldiers to make decisions that may not be in the best interest of the team or mission. Many current military leaders as well as those from the past including Norman Schwarzkopf have made the same statement. BTW posting regurgitated blog onions from other sites including those supporting Ron Paul isn’t very original. Forming onions from others and blogs that simply parrot a particular agenda is why we have so many politicians that normally wouldn’t qualify for the third shift at Burger King.

Posted on February 13, 2012 at 12:31pmWhile I agree that this was a pretty dumb question, just wait until they start attacking this jewel.
“This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone. That there is no such society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”
Now there’s a quote I find quite disturbing, and certainly deserves some clarification.

Rick Santorum: A Massively Expanded Welfare State is ‘The Genuine Conservatism our Founders Envisioned’
“What was my vision? I came to the uncomfortable realization that conservatives were not only reluctant to spend government dollars on the poor, they hadn’t even thought much about what might work better. I often describe my conservative colleagues during this time as simply ‘cheap liberals.’ My own economically modest personal background and my faith had taught me to care for those who are less fortunate, but I too had not yet given much thought to the proper role of government in this mission”
“I suspect some will dismiss my ideas as just an extended version of ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Some will reject what I have said as a kind of ‘Big Government Conservatism.’ Some will say that what I’ve tried to argue isn’t conservatism at all. But I believe what I’ve been presenting is the genuine conservatism our Founders envisioned. One that fosters the opportunity for all Americans to live as we are called to live, in selfless families that contribute to the general welfare, the common good”

The right to marry is not a “federal government issue”, It’s a church issue. Santorum want’s to legislate morality, It will never happen. Times change and morality changes, and more government laws isn’t going to solve it. Going back to small communities and families is the key, Which santorum lacks to understand.
Never smoked pot a day in my life, But nice try. I want to legalize the constitution. Also, in the Bible the book of Paul, Romans. He talks about morality, maybe you should read it. Bible also talks about just war, Small government, Taxation, honest money. Many of which are the foundation for the constitution.
If we returned to the constitution, Non-Intervention, No welfare or warfare(Military industrial complex), Strong national defense( Which isn’t maintaining 900 bases around the world). Most of our problems would be solved. We are broke we cannot afford our empire anymore, Like it or not one day our troops will all come home, And we will be defenseless.

I personally would love to see a more libertarian form of government take hold. I’m a realist. With 42 percent of the population on the government dole our country is at a critical tipping point. If the current administration is allowed to continue and the entitlement constituency becomes the majority we will never be able to return to days of self sufficiency and personal responsibility. Not to realize that we are headed for the cliff behind the EU is simply naive. Attempting to elect a do nothing , bloviating Ron Paul president is unrealistic. In all the years as congressmen he has sponsored but one bill yet brought more “pork” to his district than 65% of other congressmen. The current philosophy of government and those that depend on it can only be unwound from within. There is but one intelligent, proven conservative in the country capable of reestablishing the something similar to the original republic and that would be Bobby Jindal.

Posted on February 14, 2012 at 2:20amThere’s precious little “freedom of the press” left in this country. The mainstream media is so one-sided, I‘m beginning to suspect I’m living in a totalitarian state. Witness the multitude of questions about Obama that they never found worth pursuing, while every Republican candidate is given a proctological exam by the press. This is doubly true if the candidate is a black conservative, a female conservative, a hispanic conservative… these especially must be sought out & destroyed. This lets them maintain the plot line about how only the Democratic party represents those groups. Republicans- in the mainstream medias’ view- are the party of white guys, and now that they have the field down to a group of just that, white guys, they must now figure out where to start pecking on them. I guess Rick should be happy if that’s the worst thing they can think to throw at him, but I tend to agree with the poster that regretted him even stooping to answer that question.

Also Obama was with the NEW Black Panther Party which is not an official successor to the Black Panther Party. I think there are some differences between the two parties. I know many people view the party as radical, and it might be, but isn’t the founder of this news agency considered a radical by many people too. I’m not sure if readers of this site have the best situated ethos to critic Obama on being radical.

By calling people socialist you not only degrade the other people but also yourself. Both of these things and undesirable. Also I would like to notify your that in actuality most of the media is not liberal. Most media outlets are owned by filthy rich men, just look at how many media outlets Rupert Murdoch owns, and by no means is he liberal. So all of these media outlets are radically conservative people who manage what and how news content is presented. Also all media is dependent on advertisers. Now days advertisers are major corporations, once again generally very conservative or right wing organizations. If media outlets were to be liberal and relay messages that would frustrate their corporate sponsors they would not be able to sell their ad time and would go out of business. Because of this media outlets are controlled by their administration and sponsors and don’r relay that many liberal messages. So I hope that was helpful, have a good day.

Senator, I understand she suffers from a genetic disorder called Trisomy 18, and her prognosis is very poor. Senator, you’ve been a strong opponent of embryonic stem cell research, haven’t you? Yes. Okay. Senator, what it . . . what if there was a cure for your daughter, a cure for little Bella that only embryonic stem cell research could produce? Would be oppose it then? Would you really let little Bella die for YOUR beliefs? Would you? How could you?

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 11:58pmStem cell research will never provide a cure for trisomy 18. Why? Because there is no cure for it. It‘s not a disease it’s a syndrome. Once you have it, you have it for life. Every cell in your body has an extra chromosome and you can’t just get rid of it.

Posted on February 14, 2012 at 1:04amMany posters here are confusing CONTRACEPTION and BIRTH CONTROL. The Catholic Church is not opposed to the latter, but instead, is opposed to the former. “Natural family planning,” which is quite effective, is a form of birth control accepted by the Church. The Church’s position is this: All sexual acts must be opened to the possibility of procreation. That means no pills, no condoms, or other artificial barriers.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 9:42pmHey Minerva111, This is the results from the vote to allow women equal rights to vote: The key vote came on June 4, 1919, when the Senate approved the amendment by 56 to 25 after four hours of debate, during which Democratic Senators opposed to the amendment filibustered to prevent a roll call until their absent Senators could be protected by pairs. The Ayes included 36 (82%) Republicans and 20 (54%) Democrats. The Nays comprised 8 (18%) Republicans and 17 (46%) Democrats. It was ratified by sufficient states in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibited state or federal sex-based restrictions on voting.[58]
It seems the Republicans made up the majority of those who were in favor of.
You also might want to remember it was Woodrow Wilson in the White House at the time; A DEMOCRAT.

Posted on February 13, 2012 at 3:40amBecause the Democratic party does not speak out against the treatment of women and children under Sharia Law. They attempt to attack Christian views on the family and women, but yet they give Islam a free pass for killing their daughters who get pregnant and their sons who are homosexuals, all this in the name of family honor. You idiots don’t understand what is going on in America today. You can’t be an American and not hold true to Christian values. If you hold to no values, then the values of those who rule over you will be forced down your throat. Are you ready to swallow that? If you continue to see Religion as the evil, then you haven’t seen evil until Islam comes through your door. I guess it‘s okay with you as long as Islam doesn’t effect you. You will just turn your back on the women that are being abused under the guise of religion. In Islam they do not want their women to be seen by others, let alone go to work. All Santorum suggest is that you ignorant feminist support a woman’s decision to raise her own children. Of course the progressive socialist would take our children and raise them to be brain washed children of the state. People like you don’t know enough about socialism, and marxism to know it is impossible to treat people equally. We all have different desire and dreams and wish to live our lives differently. You don’t want out of life what I want. I don’t want out of life what you want. I don’t share the marxist/socialist dream.

You are being hypocritical. You are prejudiced against faith in political discourse or reasoning and claim that faith has no reason in it? That is a prejudiced and judgmental statement and I, for one, am offended. You have been preaching manners to everyone on this site today, but all of a sudden, when someone links faith with politics.you turn into a bigot.
Faith is by it’s very nature. a reasoned explanation of one’s beliefs. If you have faith in anything, but don’t let it intrude into your thinking in every area of your life, then it is not true faith, it may as well be a hobby. My politics are informed by my faith. My political beliefs are an outgrowth of my faith. Politics is not my faith, but my faith forms my politics. I am sorry that you did not receive an accurate account of our nation’s founding, but it was through the faith of many of the revolutionaries and founders that the USA came to exist.
