voters voted down 2 stadiums and they still got built here.

Can you show me where Santorum was behind pushing these projects? You can't. He simply went around to all the counties and asked the people there what they wanted and tried to get funding for it. Go sell your irrational babble to someone else. I am not buying it. If you feel so strongly about Rick, vote Romney. He seems to fit the bill perfectly for you.

Lazlo, So, If you talk to a local politician or beaurocrat and he asks you for $$ for a project, and you give it to him, that's ok.. just give it to him? Um.. NO.. that's the very DEFINITION of PORK my friend and your attempt to spin Santorum as a fiscal conservative is LAUGHABLE. Santorum funded thousands of pork projects over his years in the Senate and didn't attempt to reign in spending at all. You attempting to alledge he is a fiscal conservative is patently foolish.

Here you go, Santorum's back door deal to ensure the North Shore Connector got funded in exchange for support:

'We had a deal with Santorum,’ said Mr. Brooks, whose Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters, along with other major building and construction trade unions, endorsed Mr. Santorum after the senator went to bat in Washington for construction of the tunnel under the Allegheny River. The tunnel’s only stop is at the two taxpayer-funded sports stadiums built with Mr. Santorum’s support. ‘Very seldom are you going to have a union endorse a Republican,’ said Mr. Brooks. ‘But the project created 4,000 jobs’ — even if they were temporary — for workers in the construction and building trades

So you can take your idiotic patently false characterization of Santorums pork spending and have fun seeing how well a supository it makes.

The guys no fiscal conservative, and hes not remotely the squeaky clean guy he plays on TV.
