As a resident of PA since 1986 and a conservative
My entire life I can tell you Santorum is slimy and two faced. The voters sent him packing for good reason.
You will hear neophytes and uninformed tell you his endorsement of specter cost him, and that did not help his cause, but that is not why he lost. You will hear those same neophytes tell you He didn’t stand a chance because of the democratic tide and Casey being a popular name. Again that’s complete BS.
Santorum was sent packing by a huge margin because his doublespeak and continual say one thing do another came home to roost. He alienated not only voters but republican establishment and donors in the state.
Santorum talks a good game and is certainly more on the social conservative of the spectrum but he also repeatedly got caught doing a lot of the same old crap that he originally claimed he stood against from fake residency nonsense to have PA pick up his kids educational tab to espousing strong borders on his english web sit and pro illegals on his Spanish version.
He was routes by an opponent who literally no showed the campaign, because Santorum alienated so much or the republican base.
Santorum is not an aweful human being, but most folks who are espousing his praises are projecting and are likely going to be very disappointed when they discover the truth. He is not capable of handling the spotlight that will now be upon him. I see Santorum as a viable VP, he can be a pitbull and knows how to play dirty when he wants to. I don’t see him as the top of the ticket. He’s just not astute enough IMHO to survive at that level.
He is also anything but a fiscal conservative. He campaigns as one but he brought the pork as much if not more than anyone else.
You have spouted every leftist talking point against Santorum while living in Pittsbugh which has all but been detroyed by the democrats who have been in power for far too long. You know that all the accustions you have made were made by democrats and have two sides but you chose the dem side. Shame on you.
