Progressive?
I think I’m going to puke now. It just goes to show that if a politician says the word ‘G-d’ enough in his speeches, there are enough idiots on our side to think he’s a moral person.
Interesting, to say the least.
I think conservatives were “projecting” themselves onto Santorum, because he seemed to share their same values. This is why people get so offended when Santorum’s record gets attacked. It’s basically like attacking them.
Conservatives must realize that Santorum really isn’t like them at all.
Yes, Rick Santorum was pro-abortion, and first ran as a "Progressive Conservative", and that is what he had printed into his campaign materials.
Santorum supported Arlen Specter for President
Here is who Santorum wanted for President, (and years later saved him in a Senate race).
"For Specter, who later became a Democrat, his pro-abortion-rights position was a centerpiece of his campaign. Specter believed that anti-abortion activists were a “fringe” group hijacking the Republican party.
“There are clearly more Republicans who are pro-choice,” Specter told Newsday’s Susan Page. “Up until now, I am the only person willing to take on the fringe.” After Specter dropped out of the race, he led an ill-fated movement to change the anti-abortion provision in the Republican party platform."
