Rare are the politicians who give statements that truly reflect their personal and deep believes. They usually say what their audience wants to hear.
Politicians on campaigns have people doing polls, and checking stats and number to win. If the stats say that they are missing votes in a particular area, they go visiting it, if the stats show that they are loosing a certain special interest group they then release a statement to please this group, etc.
It's no longer politics by leadership it's more of tailor made politics.
It's not the first time we hear a statement such as Santorum's. He probably is missing some votes in the ultra conservative church groups and want to appeal to them.
Several have said something like that but never made it.
Unfortunately, only the good seller of BS will be elected
