Santorum is a sellout politician w...e, like most of them:
He’s against Romney now? Big freaking deal. He was vociferously supporting the SAME Romney in 2008.
He’s a staunch pro-life conservative? Why did he support then the most pro-abortion ever, I mean Arlen Specter?
When Specter launched a long-shot bid for president in 1995, Santorum — his fellow Pennsylvanian — was one of his few high-profile endorsements.
For Specter, who later became a Democrat, his pro-abortion-rights position was a centerpiece of his campaign.
“There are clearly more Republicans who are pro-choice. Up until now, I am the only person willing to take on the fringe.”
Santorum was effectively returning a favor by endorsing Specter despite his aggressive pro-abortion-rights views. Specter had supported Santorum’s 1994 Senate campaign.
And once again the pro-life Santorum suported the most pro-abortion Specter in 2004, hoping for Arlen’s payback support in his own reelection bid in 2006.
WHY did Santorum break rang with his fellow Republicans in the Senate and voted for Sotomayor nomination at the Court of Appeals?
He may NOW cover himself with a mantle of saint pater familias of so many kids, preaching to the choir, he was and remains a political w...e.
You just presented the clearest description yet, of Santorum’s convenient use of conservatism while campaigning, as he stubbornly represents its antithesis once in office. The man has no vision and never recognized we were being swallowed up by spending and that Marxism was thriving in unions. Never.
These also were perfect examples that you explained, of what I like to call Rick’s RINO preservation kit. He is blatantly unremarkable, but for the extent of his obedience to the RINO agenda and his own political preservation.
Same pattern. Same vice.
I see it is only negative if we do this to Newt, the man who is currently running 4th in a four man race.
Maybe you could send this over to Mitt, he has the money to make it go viral.
Or you could just give up on the vitriolic attacks and see what shakes out over the next few weeks. Advice that I am pretty sure Sarah Palin offered.
