Although I used to have the utmost respect for Santorum, his performance during this presidential run has led me to lose more and more respect as time passed. And this ends it completely. This dishonesty on his part has destroyed any residual good will I had left for him.
Goodbye, Rick. I thought I knew you. I was wrong.
1. Cain
2. Bachmann
3. Gingrich
4. Santorum
5. Perry
Neither Paul nor Romney is acceptable.
When Rick was a rookie house member, he and I rode the Monday morning 6:00 AM USAIR flight from Pittsburgh to DC and I got to know him and we would chat.
I supported Rick for Senator and was very happy with his performance until he {and GWB} talked a good game about conservatives and then back stabbed Pat Toomey in the primary and sphincter beat him by a mere 2 votes per precinct.
I talked to Rick about that and when he was up for election in 06, I voted for him but I wouldn't donate nor work for his campaign.
I met him at a NRA event, and he couldn't believe how few people showed and I told him it was because the folks were pissed at him for throwing all of us conservatives under the bus.
Sportsmen for Santorum were always a good segment of his base support, and at my shooting club, many of the guys were very disappointed with him.
