[The Blitherer]

Ungrateful social conservatives, vowing to seek revenge for his failure to back Toomey, took it out on him in 2006 by voting him out of office. Santorum took the hit for taking a course of action that was wise both politically and morally--and far more principled than the peevish social conservatives could appreciate at the time.

I'm sure the fact that he was #1 on the liberals' hit list had NOTHING to do with his loosing. Nope, it was those darn "peevish" social conservatives.

“I’m sure the fact that he was #1 on the liberals’ hit list had NOTHING to do with his loosing. Nope, it was those darn ‘peevish’ social conservatives.”

You are naive if you don’t think the Democrats deliberately backed a pro-lifer solely to split the pro-life vote and win a seat in the Senate. They knew Santorum was vulnerable because the social conservatives considered that he had “betrayed” Toomey. They knew you guys don’t really understand power politics—that you can’t see beyond the noses on your faces. The split of the pro-life vote was enough to allow the abortionists to take over the Senate by a single seat. You can thank your fellow pro-lifers for being stupid enough to fall for the oldest political trick in the world—divide and conquer—just as you guys are falling for the hate-Rudy b.s.
