Show me which candidate has no faults, and I’ll show you a candidate who does.

Ok what kind of jobs do you know that does not depend on manufacturing of some kind, either ours or someone else's? Manufacturing is what made us the richest country in the world, but i guess there are always jobs for Eli Whitney, but few of those are needed.

Please back this up and show me you're not jumping to unwarranted conclusions.

It's a publicly known fact that Rick Santorum didn't support national right-to-work legislation. Okay, that mostly proves he's from Pennsylvania and cares about what his constituents want. If you don't agree, that's a fair point.

Was Rick Santorum’s law office unionized? Did Rick Santorum ever encourage non-union private companies to move to Pennsylvania? Did Rick Santorum ever try to force non-union companies to accept unions, as opposed to saying companies where a majority of the employees wanted a closed shop could have a closed shop?

I think the answers to those three questions will go a long way toward answering whether Rick Santorum “just wants unionized jobs.”

Also, don't misinterpret me as being a fan of modern unions. I believe they once performed a valuable role, and sometimes still do, but I strongly believe workers who don't want to be part of a union should have the right not to join. In other words, capitalism and free choice work; if unions do their jobs, workers will want to join, and if they don't do their jobs, it's their own fault if workers vote with their feet by walking out. Other issues are much more important to me, and although there's a good chance that I disagree with Rick Santorum on this issue, I do not believe it is accurate to say that Rick Santorum "just wants unionized jobs."
