Right

This of course does not mean that Rick Santorum is right; only that he is not a total outlier or a nutcase.

In her testimony, Ms. Fluke claimed that, "Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school." That's $1,000 per year.

"That's the price without insurance," the employee said. (It's also $9 per month at Wal-Mart.) (Cathy Cleaver Ruse, WSJ, 3/6/2012)


It is hard what to make of Liberals. They claim to value intelligence and yet they will stoop to the flimsiest of stereotypes (Santorum is a religious zealot!) and will fall for the phoniest of claims (Fluke). The media abets them and Republicans are left to try and explain.
