"Santorum slammed government-supported public education as "anachronistic" (he home-schools his kids)..."

... on Pennsylvania taxpayers' $100,000 tuition money, while he and family lived in Virginia, where he still lives today.

He was talking about Obama. But his words are a perfect self-assessment

Gosh, Mr. Baer, projecting much?

That statement could use a little citation, if you please?

Darn! This is too obvious for a troll alert. Rick’s got my vote for sure, now! He’s going to make all you libtards stop fornicating!

Why do we see this inexorable move towards Big Government and Socialism. Why would people in the freest country in the world throw away what others (immigrants and patriots) have lost their lives to have here?

I think Milton Friedman has some well-thought-through insights on these questions. One of the links below is kind of long and bad resolution, but well worth the time to listen. Links below.

So what that he lives in Virginia, I believe Newt also lives in Virginia.

The author went on further to say:

"Geez you guys are nutso for wanting Santorum- you guys should pick Romney!

"Yeah!

"Romney's the most 'electable' guy you got- heck Romney could even beat OUR guy Obama!

"Really- he could!

"That's why you should pick Romney- boy we'd sure be scared if you picked Romney"

“Did you just shiver?”

No, I have been doing that since the day Obama took office!

Completely agree! We need more moderate candidates to be our nominees, candidates who are politically correct and certainly won’t challenge “A woman’s right to choose”.

Sounds like you’ve posted a piece justifying why all should support Romney.

No thanks. Not in a million years for this voter.

John Baer is a liberal hack 'journalist' from Philly, and you're reduced to citing him to attack Santorum.

You really are pathetic. Try making your case for Newt instead of tearing down Santorum, Frenchie...

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette revives phony Santorum scandal

Funny, originally it was $55K--the number seems to grow every time the story is told.

That “online home school” attack against Rick was the biggest phony non-issue I have ever seen raised. Members of the Teachers Union held an OWS style vigil on the front lawn of his Pennsylvania home in an attempt to prove that he really did not live there. Literally thousands of children are home-schooled in this state with online resources paid by their school district. Being a Member of Congress he clearly never gave up his Pennsylvania residency.

But hey, the crotchety old voters around here decided they’d rather elect The Late Gov. Casey to end the war in Iraq and begin kicking that money back to them in the form of free prescriptions and bus rides.
