""No one is further to the right in the Senate than Rick Santorum,..."
What a crock of . . . fertilizer.
Santorum is rated by the Club for Growth as the 35th most fiscal conservative.
The GOA scores him at 64% on pro gun votes.
He votes consistently 100% pro life. He also works to get pro abortion candidates elected who, when elected to the Senate, cancel out his vote.
All in all, he doesn't sound very conservative to me.
However, he was the eloquent spokesman of the ban on partial birth abortion and cornered the despicable Barbara Boxer ("you're not born until you going home in the cab"), Russell Feingold, Frank Lausenberg (and the misspelling is deliberate) et al, and proved that they are monsters.
