He voted for increased funding for food stamps and then BRAGGED ABOUT IT IN HIS 2006 RE ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
He is the food stamp senator.
“he was not in favor of Tarp or healthcare mandates.”
Fiddlesticks.
He left the Senate in 2006, so he had no say or vote in either.
Exactly. I don’t agree with this decision he made, but I’d like to hear him out on it. There is no candidate I would agree with 100% of the time. Isn’t that what mayor Koch once said, that is so true? If you agree with your candidate 80%, great. 100%, have your head examined.
What are your alternatives? Gingrich has special pity for even poor aliens as long as their are able to push two generations from their loins — something no one has much trouble doing. On soil where they do not belong.
Or you want Paul or Romney?
Santroum was already voted out of office by the time both issues went up for vote, so giving him credit for being against it, particularly after Santorum had a chance to test the water among the electorate and then take a side, is a far cry form how he would have voted when he was an active Senator.
There is plenty of evidence to go on, in regards to Santorum’s full career that proves he is not the conservative that he, or his supporters say he is.
