OK, don't support him.
If your logic brings you to the point where you determine that the election of Arlen Specter in two elections (primary & general)was the sole responsibility of Rick Santorum then many of us would appreciate you applying your reasoning skills to the Casey campaign.

To: Ramcat; All

Perhaps you didn't watch the primary closely. Rick and GWB came to the rescue, and Arlen narrowly defeated Pat Toomey, a true conservative.

Before the pro-Arlen ads ran, Rick called some of those people who supported and worked for him specifically because of the pro-life position. He knew and understood that what he was about to do would wound his base. The fact that we are now refusing to support him should come as no surprise. He made a political calculation, and he cannot feign shock at the predictable reaction.

For those of you throwing stones, I've yet to hear ANYONE offer a reason to vote for Santorum that sounds in anything more than: He's the lesser of the evils.

I'm looking for a reason to vote for Santorum, not a reason to vote against Casey. The fact is, Santorum, while his words echo my sentiments, his votes do not. There is no reason for my continued support.
