Rick Santorum reached out to what is considered to be a large block of voters: Women. And they did not reach back.

On Tuesday, Santorum was host to a "Professional Women's Conference on the Hill." It was a day long forum with speakers such as Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Lynne Cheney. (I assume she spoke about allowing something awful to enter you and not being crippled by the shame.)

Santorum invited 3,000 community leaders, university officials and other Pennsylvania women. 90 showed up. That's 3%. I would regard that as a bit of a failure. No word on how many of the 90 were retarded.

Maybe Ricky shouldn't have written the book, “It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good,” in which he took a Cro-Magnon like swing at working women.

What happened in America so that mothers and fathers who leave their children in the care of someone else -- or worse yet, home alone after school between three and six in the afternoon -- find themselves more affirmed by society? Here, we can thank the influence of radical feminism.

Sadly the propaganda campaign launched in the 1960s has taken root. The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness.


Ricky’s opinions have not set him up for a rosy future.

For months opinion polls have showed Santorum, who is unopposed in the GOP primary, trailing Casey by double digits. The percentage of voters who think he deserves re-election is only 36 percent.

Maybe his numbers are low because people think they're being polled about voting for brown lube-y froth?

Also, don't forget to pre-order your copy of his new book-

The sad thing is that working parents are actually GOOD for the household in general. Having a working mom (or at least a mom who isn't a prisoner in her own house) is a great thing for kids. Especially young girls, who tend to have better self-esteem.

And as for leaving kids home alone for a few hours, that's good for them too! Not to simply be abandoned, but to let a kid (age appropriate of cours)have some genuine time to self-regulate and do their own thing is perfectly fine and healthy. So long as when the parents do come back and show some caring and love for the kid, everyone wins.

'Cause professional accomplishments, like being a US Senator, only make MEN happy. So THAT'S why there are so few women in the Senate.

Good thing he won't have to worry about all of those professional accomplishments that come with electoral victory for much longer. Ooops, my bad - he's a man!

Well, then, he's SOL.
