Who is this guy?

Since the GOP race started, I've known that Rick Santorum was someone that I would NEVER want running my country and thank goodness he never will! Recently, it came to my attention that in addition to Santorum's antiquated views on abortion, birth control, health care, gay people, women in combat, etc., he is now attacking the working woman. Who is this guy and why does he have a job anywhere near politics? How is it that he is one of the front runners to win the Republican nomination? Do the people voting for him really know what he stands for?

Here is just a small sample of the ridiculous things this man has said:
  • “I think the Democrats are actually worried [Obama] may go to Indonesia and bow to more Muslims.”
  • “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn money.”
  • “Look at the political base of the Democratic Party: it is single mothers who run a household...Why? Because it’s so tough economically that they look to the government for help, and therefore they’re going to vote. So if you want to reduce the Democratic advantage, what you want to do is build two-parent families, you eliminate that desire for government.”
  • "The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness..."

I know most politicians have made statements in the past that they wish they could take back, and I know that Rick Santorum isn't the only politician in history to be outrageous and even nonsensical, but let's just say that although I'm not usually the biggest fan of my own Country's leader, I would take him ANY day over this man!
