Rick Santorum voted FOR Arlen Specter and actively campaigned for him—AGAINST Pro-Life conservative Pat Toomey. See link in post 18.

Rick Santorum campaigned FOR NJ Governor Christine Todd Whitman, an ardent pro-abortion pol. http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00BzKv

Rick Santorum betrayed his outstanding pro-life work and his Catholic Faith at least twice. And not privately in the voting booth, but publicly where he taught with his actions.

He is talking a great game right now. But we better not forget that with politicians words are cheap, especially when their actions are 180 degrees opposite.

Rick Santorum has permanently compromised himself on what he himself says is the preeminent issue of life.

We MUST demand better than Rick Santorum.

First this so-called Catholic will have to explain why he voted for title X funding which grants money to planned parenthood

I don't like him or his attitude and remember the phony ban on partial birth abortion law that he co-wrote where partial birth abortion still exists providing the navel is inside the birth-canal.

Santorum as well as Chris Smith (R-NJ)voted for HR 3010 which funds Title X and family-planning programs.  It is this bill that funds planned parenthood the enemy of the unborn and pro-life movement.  Santorum loses my vote.

oh, and these so-called "republicans" increased Title X funding every year during the Bush/Hastert/Frist Administrations.  They're all  a bunch of losers in my book who spent MORE money than the democrats and INCREASED Title X appropriations.   I'll pray for a real republican who didn't fund planned parenthood, not santorum.

Rick Santorum has permanently compromised himself on what he himself says is the preeminent issue of life.

Unless he publicly acknowledges his past sins and renounces his past behavior. If he truly repents publicly I think he can be given the opportunity to show that he truly means it.

> We MUST demand better than Rick Santorum.

I began reading this thread wondering "why isn't Rick Santorum POTUS, seeing how he represents The Right issues properly?"

Then I read your post, and it became clear. It reminded me of something my Mum always said to me:

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help."
-- David Rex, Psalm 146:3 --

So there it is, spelled out. A Mother's wisdom, right as always: if we are trusting politicians to provide our answers we seek in vain.

Mum's advice has not yet been helpful in telling me whom I should vote for or whom I should believe and support. But it has been helpful in guiding me to take what a politician says with a healthy pinch of salt.

(or perhaps more appropriately, a healthy dose of salts.)

On the comforting side, the Left has lavished their trust in their prince, Pharaoh Obama, and every day Pharaoh is proving that their trust is ill-placed. Mum was right...
