Rick Santorum insists on comparing marriage equality to polygamy

Rick Santorum's social conservatism took center stage in New Hampshire today, as a group of college students booed him for comparing gay marriage to polygamy during a town hall in Concord.

“So if you’re not happy unless you’re married to five other people, is that OK?” Santorum asked one student. “Reason says that if you think it’s okay for two [individuals to marry], then you have to differentiate for me why it’s not okay for three,” he argued later.

To be clear, Santorum’s offensive and circuitous responses are all meant to reject the natural desire of two same-sex individuals to join in a union and enjoy the same rights as heterosexual couples.

His tactic of comparing apples to oranges is a squirrelly move.  Apples to apples would be one person to one person, which he quickly takes off the table.

Me thinks the New Hampshire crowd is not so "evangelical-Santorum-friendly" as Iowa.
