Anyone who doesn’t realize Santorum isn’t a conservative doesn’t know what they are talking about.
“Here are his ratings from when he was in Congress:
American Conservative Union — 88%
National Right to Life Committee — 100%
Americans for Tax Reform — 95%
National Tax Limitation Committee — 92%
U.S. Chamber of Commerce — 88%
League of Private Property Voters — 94%”

All well and good, but if one digs a little deeper, all of these rankings are based on cherry picking a few votes and not any deeply held personal principles.
Santorum could have stood up when it counted and vote against No Child Left Behind and the Prescription bill but he decided to “be a team player” and vote for two huge expansions of federal government power. Both of these were “severely un-conservative” anti-family, anti-American pieces of legislation.
The Chamber of Commerce?? Don’t those folks support our socialist trade agreements??
Why is Rick Santorum only a B- with Gun Owners of America?
