		CASTING STONES

		The political beliefs of Barack Obama, said Rick Santorum last week, come out of &amp;#8220;some phony theology. ... Not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology.&amp;#8221;

Given the opportunity on &amp;#8220;Face the Nation&amp;#8221; to amend his remarks, Santorum declined the offer and plunged...
