Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Santorum's view of the world is interesting, but only in the same way that the idealized world of the '50s sitcom is interesting - and neither world has anything at all to do with reality. Instead of coming up with ways to help modern families or reduce poverty, Santorum prefers to blame TV shows like 'Friends' and 'Sex in the City' for everything that is wrong with America today. He self-righteously declares that families with two working parents are detrimental to society, but he fails to point out that both of HIS parents worked outside of the house. How did he manage to escape the crushing damage caused by this horrific social aberration? Or did he somehow become a rich and powerful U.S. Senator DESPITE the disadvantages of growing up in a white, middle-class home while being provided with a good education at the expense of the government? Compare Rick's wild ideals with what the world is really like or with his actual actions, and things don't really add up. Note also that whenever his high-minded statements clash with his own misdeeds in real life that issue somehow never makes it into the book. ADDENDUM: There was a comment here that was apparantly seen as offensive by the Amazon.com censors. Let me attempt to re-state it in a less-offensive manner: Mr. Santorum's name is often used in pop-culture to describe a by-product of a sexual act of which he likely disapproves (Google 'santorum' for details). This substance is both odiferous and extremely slippery. Reading this book makes it clear why this neologism is so apt: Rick's arguments don't stand up to the smell test and his 'evidence' seems to be very slick and elusive when examined.
