I don't deny that Santorum is better than the leftists....but I just can't abide the duplicity any longer. When he turned on his pro-life base, that was the last straw for me. I don't know if you've read the entire thread, so please forgive me if this is mindless repetition, but you should probably know that prior to teh release of the Arlen ads, Rick even called some of the people who'd worked tirelessly for him precisely because of his pro-life stance. He did not call me personally, but he called one of the Committee women in my county. He clearly knew and understood that what he was about to do would wound his base severely. That we are angered to the point of refusing to support him should come as no surprise. That we are holding him accountable should likewise come as no surprise. We worked for him because we thought he he shared our principled pro-life views, and that those principles would NEVER be compromised.
I guess the duplicity would be easier to abide if Rick hadn't played the part of "St. Rick" for so long. The fall from grace was swift, and the landing will be hard.
If you want to see REAL damage to the pro life side, imagine this: three SCUSA absences filled with Souter clones. Which is exactly what you'll get out of the Senate if the Dems filibuster tactic isn't stopped. Electing another Dem Senator would insure that reality.
