Why he might be annoying:

    He does not believe in an individual’s Constitutional right to privacy therefore private sexual acts can be governed.
    He said: ‘When people can’t control their desires, we have to pass laws to stop their desires.’
    He believes homosexuality destroys a healthy, family oriented society.
    He likened homosexuality to other sexually deviant behaviors such as incest and zoophilia.
    He compared Democratic Senators opposing the anti-filibuster bill to Hitler’s occupation of Paris.
    He was heavily booed while giving the commencement address at Cheyney University, a traditionally black college, when he compared family values to the number of black children born out of wedlock.
    Gay columnist Dan Savage began using 'santorum' to mean 'the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.'
    His name now appears in several dictionaries of slang and sexual practices.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated University of Pittsburgh with an M.B.A.
    He earned a law degree from Dickinson School of Law.
    Although opposed to abortion and sodomy, he supports each state’s right to govern these issues themselves.
    He later clarified that his comments on homosexuality were from a legal perspective and were not meant as a criticism on individual lifestyles.
    He does not censor himself.
