Rick by his own quotes is the new flim flam man. What a resume.
Look into Rick on days of course when he is not campaigning and it’s all hollow, and what isn’t hollow is simply theater. That means it’s a campaign day. (For the people don’t cha know.) (The conservative ones.)
It just took the Philadelphia article seven pages to say what we have been saying in single posted comments from the first time he tried to be Bachmann and long before.
excerpt:
“Santorum’s biggest political challenge came in 2004. He claimed victory again but he lost on principle when he supported Sen. Specter for re-election over ideological soulmate Pat Toomey, then the Lehigh Valley congressman. To Santorum’s base, however, it was a deep betrayal. The wound remains open.
Many are quick to argue that Santorum had no choice. After all, he was (and is) the Republican Conference chairman. It’s the No. 3 Senate leadership post. One of the post’s primary jobs is to make sure incumbent GOP senators get re-elected.
But we always have choices. Had Santorum chosen principle over politics — or more accurately, principle over power — Mr. Toomey would have ousted Specter in last April’s primary and easily beaten Joe Hoeffel in November.
That didn’t happen because Santorum was not about to give up his chance for greater power: to succeed Bill Frist as Senate majority leader in 2007.
Santorum blew one opportunity — albeit the long shot of a dark horse — when he failed to accurately assess how damaged then-Majority Leader Trent Lott was in the Strom Thurmond affair of 2002 and began courting support far too late to matter.
Had Santorum supported Toomey, he not only would have lost his leadership post but, automatically, any chance of succeeding the departing Mr. Frist. As political irony goes, his loyalty to the leadership post — to the power base — paid a lousy dividend; Santorum doesn’t have the votes to succeed Frist.”

And he’s only had one wife, too. What a loser.
