Santorum said he was “the “go-to guy” when it came to getting things done during his time as U.S. senator from Pennsylvania” not in the coup to remove Gingrich. If you have a link to his saying that I would like to see it.
Actually, the term “go-to-guy” is accurate, and it was in the Senate, but not the coup. But doncha know? Sanctimonium was the person everybody went to, to get things done... he was the reliable, stable, nonerratic, nongrandiose one... and still is. Except for when he’s telling his followers, “God called me to run.”
It’s on Free Republic, this is where I read it. Try google, if you can’t find it here.
The reason I remember the quote is because he was criticized by a couple of Senators who stated his participation was rather insignificant.
He was caught lying about the extent of his involvement, trying to claim credit for something he hadn’t actually done.
