Santorum exposed himself as a complete fraud when he endorsed Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in the 2004 Republican primary.
No, that’s not why he got sent packing.. that’s the reason folks who don’t live in PA like to throw about, because they honestly don’t know what they are talking about. Santorum did what a good soldier does, when asked by his general in that case.. he showed loyalty to the party... Other than a few hard core folks, that didn’t really bother most of the electorate.
Santorum had MANY MANY issues, over his actions over many many years... he got tossed because all the slimy games he had played over the years finally caught up to him.
