Last week it was the bizarre claim that Santorum supporter HR796, when he in fact voted to recommit it, which means he opposed it.
This week apparently it's a lie about the gun lock requirement.
If you go to your link, you will see that the vote that Project VoteSmart is highlighting is a vote to TABLE the gunlock amendment.
Santorum voted YEA, as did a majority of the senate -- to TABLE the amendment, meaning to KILL it.
Worse, Barbara Boxer is listed AT THE LINK as voting NO on the motion to table; so any idiot who actually read their own links would know Boxer and Santorum voted OPPOSITE on this vote, not "with".
With such a blatant lie on the first thing I checked, I have no interest in looking at any of the other so-called "evidence" you post.
Go do some actual research; stop letting idiot bloggers do your thinking for you. Use your links, GO READ THE DAMN WEB PAGES, and come back when you know something.
Sorry, maybe that is harsh, but this is getting rediculous. There are things you can legitimately fault Santorum over, and yet freepers keep posting blatantly false "votes" that their own links refute.
IF I posted anything erroneous on Santorum..mea culpa. I did post a lot of info on his voting record that is straight from the legislation he voted yea and nay on such as his vote for Sotomyer for the circuit court during the Clinton presidency and will repost it. I too am fed UP and sick of the lies posted about Newt over and over and especially on those professing to be christians that judge him on the life he is living now.
Santorum did vote to raise the debt ceiling and he did vote to fund the National Endowment for the Arts and to INCREASE funding on it. He also voted for govt regulations of wages and so much more that are true.
IF you do not like my posts..don’t read them.
Check post #130 by Windflier. I clicked on the links that went straight to the actual votes and you may check them out and verify them.
BTW, even rino McCain voted nay on Sonia Sotomyer for circuit court.
ACU has Santorum down as voting for The Gun Manufacturers Liability Act of 1994, which prohibited the sale of hand guns with safety devices.
Hated to ccp this and post it on the gun lock ammendment. This is straight from DC and on windfliers post #130. S. Senate Roll Call Votes 109th Congress - 1st Session

Alright, so Santorum's vote on Senate Amendment 3230 (mandatory trigger locks) shouldn't have been included on that list. Obviously, the person compiling the list didn't delve as deeply into the history of that one vote, as you did.
Score one for CharlesWayne.
You can stand there using that one error to justify closing your eyes to the rest of Santorum's dismal voting record, but understand that everyone watching realizes that you're employing a rather childish defense mechanism.
The fact is, Rick Santorum has a voting record that doesn't mesh gears with patriotic conservatives. He's a big government guy who happens to be pretty good on some social issues. Other than that, there's little to recommend him.
