Santorum is a lawyer, and I think that might make him less critical about judges; certainly though in the 90s things hadn't deteriorated to the point we are today.
Santorum voted against the bills that raised spending, and he voted YES to pay the debt we accrued through that spending. I know that nowadays people think that not raising the debt ceiling is a fiscally responsible thing -- but seriously, the fiscally responsible thing is to not vote to spend the money, not to vote to not pay the credit card bill.
Things have gotten so bad that some now think that holding the debt ceiling is the only way we can stop spending. But it isn't fiscally responsible, it's a desperation move, maybe necessary, but it is the end result of the failure of our elected representatives, and a profound failure to live up to our obligations.
I'll have to read your posts, to check links and find out if what you are saying is true or not. That is the sad fact -- I'd love to ignore your posts, but they might be spreading lies, and I can't at this moment trust that you are doing a good job of research.
I'm not voting against a good conservative because he didn't vote no on a multi-billion-dollar appropriations bill because of a few extra million of NEA spending. Every republican budget that had NEA spending had the votes of the republicans.
I've got a question, which I don't know the answer to. Did Newt Gingrich's congress ever send the appropriations bill to the president that had no NEA spending in it? Did we ever actually pass such an appropriations, so Santorum could vote yes on it?
Don’t forget the 90 million Santorum, Liberman and Hillary voted for to study how watching tv effects children.
Santorum is supposed to be a conservative..at least on social issues so how could a conservative lawyer ever go along with a radical left wing judge? it opened the door for her and we know where she sits now.
A few million here...mega millions there are killing our economy. I want it to stop. I am tired of giving congress more of my tax dollars to throw to the wind. There is never any end in site. We need a break!
Charles, Santorum voted against an amendment that specifically would have eliminated funding for programs and activities carried out by the National Endowment for the Arts.
