“Take it up with poster”
Uh, I’m asking you. You are using it as evidence. If you don’t have a source for evidence that you are passing on to other people, that’s bad.
“I’ve seen the evidence and have satisfied myself”
Ok, is all the evidence that you saw in that post? Or is there other stuff you are relying on?
“Deny it and find for yourself”
It’s up to the person making the claim to provide evidence for the claim. I’m amenable, but I have to see independent confirmation outside of the FR post.
“The left will excoriate him with it if you don’t deal with it now.”
Deal with what? All I see is hearsay without evidence behind it. If the evidence is shown that he actually did vote for these things, then sure.
His support of pro-choice liberal Arlen Specter that proved decisive in the 2004 GOP primary against pro-life conservative Pat Toomey. Isn’t he claiming a strong pro life stance? Lost my support there. That Specter win with his subsequent switch to the Democratic Party gave the Dems the 60 vote majority didn’t it. Thank your buddy Santorum.
Santorum worked for No Child Left Behind, a proposal that trampled the conservative view that education was strictly a local matter. He was right there with Ted Kennedy on that one.
His own statements in support of pork barrel projects flys in the face of claiming to be a fiscal conservative.
And those only the ones that most everybody should remember let alone have to look up.
Santorum is a fake.
