Wow, you pull out Catholic and attack me personally?
You also try to mislead on Santorum, he was on stage endorsing Specter’s pro-abortion run to remove life from the GOP, that is commitment.
Santorum was personally devoted to Arlen Specter and never stopped supporting him, until finally Specter had to literally become a democrat to shake Santorum, Santorum then switched to supporting the pro-abortion Mitt Romney.
That wasn’t a personal attack, ansell, unlike the ones here directed at Santorum. If it came off that way, then I apologize. I am trying to understand how a social conservative like yourself could so despise Santorum that you have to refer to a speech given almost twenty years ago by Arlen Specter to prove that Santorum isn’t pro-life.
Santorum was a politician. They play “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” all the time. I do not put politicians on pedestals as I understand they are failed human beings, more so than us regular folks.
Santorum was as “devoted” to Specter as Palin is to McCain because without them, they would never have gotten to the National levels in politics. I don’t like the game, but that’s how it’s played.
I don’t like Romney either. But Santorum believed that it was better to have any Republican in power than Obama, and so did about 61 million other Americans (not me, I voted Constitution Party, which didn’t affect anyone as I live in NY). I won’t hold that against him and I won’t hold it against him that he stumped for his fellow Republican Senator.
Toomey turned out to be as much of a RINO as Specter and Rick Santorum has always voted 100% pro-life as a politician and walked the pro-life walk in his personal life. For that, he will always have my respect.
