Santorum joined forces with Lieberman and Hillary on a study as to how watching tv effects children.
Check it out..Senators Propose Redundant Media Research Study

(Washington, D.C.) - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today criticized Senators Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), and Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) for reintroducing the Children and Media Research Advancement Act (CAMRA), which will set up a $90 million program to research what countless other studies have already documented the effects of television viewing and other media on children. CAGW named Sen. Lieberman Porker of the Month when he introduced the same legislation in August, 2004.
“This proposal is just one expensive rerun,” CAGW President Tom Schatz said. “For decades this issue has been studied to death, always yielding the same results. Calling for yet another taxpayer-funded study belittles the ability of parents to use common sense in deciding what shows are appropriate for their children.”

1. Santorum joined Sen Hillary Clinton, Sen Lieberman, Sam Brownback in introducing the CHILDREN AND MEDIA REASEARCH ADVANCEMENT ACT which allocated a 90 MILLION dollar program to research the effects that watching tv has on children. This was a call for ANOTHER taxpayer funded study the thinks the govt knows better than parents on what is appropriate for their children to view.

Well, he is a big government guy... Mr. Bridge to Nowhere. I do not believe he will ever reside in the White House.

This is such a miserable year, yet it never had to be....

...which has already been done countless times I might add.

No doubt that large sum of cash is going to be laundered....no way would it cost 90 mill...and there is no justification for Santorum to have supported that....but then he is a BIG Government spender as we know and his record attests to.

Santorum's going to have to fight for Pa.....and Newt's pretty favorable here too of course.... ... recent article that PA. may very well be in Romney's boat and he's already started here now.....the Rep.party Elite are making that clear now....and remember the delegates are non-binding....most of which in the past have been "elites". Additionally the Tea Party people aren't happy with Santorum here either....he's going to have to work them for they remember well his vote for Spector and his other actionswhich opposed concervatiism.
