What you are saying is that Santorum made a political decision. Fine. The political process will decide if it was a good decision, or suicidal. I suspect that it was suicidal and the sweet irony will be that he won't have a chance to succeed Frist.....the whole reason he sold out his base. Ah, she who laughs last.....
If we continue to rubber stamp our ballots, because so called Republicans are the lesser of the evils, we'll simply elect those who have no allegiance to the electorate. NO MORE. Rick will lose and hopefully the others will learn from his mistake.
I thought I was asking you a question. Twice in fact. If it will help, I'll highlight it. Can't you answer it?
Now, do you really think it is a viable position for a senator to disresepect the senior senator from his own state and party and the President of the US as well?

Again, you confuse "the electorate" with your own views. You and the rest of "the base" are not enough to win, especially in a state like PA.
Now, be kind enough to explain to me how disrespecting your own senior senator (who helped you get elected in the first place) and your president is not a "suicidal" position. How does that dynamic work? How does Santorum get anything done if he has alienated all these members of his party? How does he get re-elected with only his base and no help from the rest of his party?
Please try to answert these questions and not just kneejerk another emotional response.
