It's 'single issue' proponents like you that make me sick. Pro-Life.Pro-Life.Pro-Life. Get a grip and realize that some of you 'holier than thou' types are not very useful. I, too, am against abortion, but I WILL NOT let a single issue cloud my judgment or support of a particular candidate. Roe v Wade will NOT be overturned in our lifetime and, probably not during our children's lifetimes. Do you REALLY think Democrat control of the Senate would be in the best long-term interests of the Country?

Rick Santorum was the whip for the medicare vote.He went around trolling for votes trying to convince Republicans to vote for the largest entitlement in American history.I have no problem with Santorum as the Senator from Pennsylvania as long as he tells the truth on what he is:a Moderate.When he and his supporters tell me he is a conservative and has done no wrong,then he has to go. Those of you fighting for Santorum would be better served saying "Rick is an a$$,but he is the best we got" if you keep saying" Rick is a true conservative,the rest of you are nuts" the Santorum will lose and you will fracture the right.

How many pro death, pro gun rights congresscritters can you name?

There are benchmark issues that you can use to judge a candidate. Life and gun rights are the two most important because they are both essential to enjoying and preserving freedom.

But there is also such things as integrity and fidelity.

Santorum is Mr Pro life. He supported Mr Pro death. Mr Pro death who is also anti gun, anti small government. He is a huge tax and spend liberal. In one smooth move, Ricky's support for Specter backstabbed a lot of different 'single issue' voters. Specter is the antithesis of what Santorum proclaimed himself to be, but when he was needed to take the tough stand of supporting a like minded candidate, he supported the enemy.

Why do you believe that kind of man deserves to be rewarded with reelection? Because the new guy will be worse? HOW? At least you know Casey will screw you and you won't be surprised when it happens.

Replace SAINTorum in the primary or lose him in the general.

Many single issue types (or all political flavors) have convinced themselves that 'sleeping better at night' is preferable to making positive change. It remains unclear how a series of good restful nights moves the status quo in a direction that they want.

Then again, if I were cynical I would just suggest they prefer to talk a mean game rather than actually doing something positive. If you never make change, you can never take a political hit.

But, they can sleep soundly.
