Model political family???? What a laugh.

Santorum got caught having taxpayers of PA paying for his kids education, that was really embarrassing. Then a picture was shown of the tiny house he claims as his residence in PA. A cheap two bedroom fixer upper with two bedrooms and he has six kids.

He lives in and pays taxes on a million dollar home in VA and has for a long time.

You need to do more research on Senator (chameleon) Santorum.

You obviously have a visceral dislike of Santorum and nothing I can say will change your opinion.

Re the fact that Santorum's principal residence is in Virginia and not Pennsylvania: This is the norm for most Congressmen who have school-age children and have been in office awhile. Maintaining two households is an expensive proposition, especially on a salary of $150,000 a year. Some Congressmen share apartments in DC and keep a larger residence in their home state. It depends. I don't fault Santorum for maintaining his principal residence in Virginia so he can be with his children.

He lives in and pays taxes on a million dollar home in VA and has for a long time.

A million dollar home in Northern Virginia is not all that exceptional. I have owned my home here since 1979. The value of my house has increased over 5 times what I paid for it. Santorum has lived in the area since 1990. I doubt if he purchased a million dollar home then.

Since you know so much about Santorum, where does his "wealth" come from? He certainly didn't go to elite schools or come from an upper class background. You can't be as naive as you sound.

"Santorum got caught having taxpayers of PA paying for his kids education"

Wow ... that's like something that 50 million kids in America get done for them. what a scandal.

And he's a senator with (gasp) a residence near DC in addition to one in the homestate; something that oh, maybe close to 100% of congressmen and senators have.

Once again, Hillary thanks you for your negative campaigning on behalf of the DNC.
