Santorum showed up yesterday on Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer. And, folks, it was like Bob Schieffer, who’s, what, 90? Ninety-two? Bob Schieffer talking to Rick Santorum actually appeared as though Schieffer thought Santorum was from Mars. It was a space alien. What he thought, the things he had said, Schieffer could not believe that there was a human being alive on this planet who could think that way, who believed these things. He was shocked.

Jeffrey Bell would like to set your mind at ease. Social conservatism, Mr. Bell argues in his forthcoming book, ‘The Case for Polarized Politics’ –” He points out, as we have on this program — before I read this to you I’m gonna remind you of this story. It’s the early nineties and I’m a guest at one of these dinner parties out in the Hamptons, and after dinner out on the deck of the host’s home, it’s all Republicans, and many of them huge donors, this was before the ’92 campaign began. And one of these donors comes up to me, pokes me in the chest, “What are you gonna do about the Christians?”
