Who is persecuting him? Do you consider it persecution that some people apparently said Santorum should resign? They were simply speaking their minds. They don't have the authority to remove him from office, except via the ballot box. When conservatives boycott some actor for something he said is that also persecution?

Sorry, what Santorum said was political speech. As are the words of his opponents. Both protected by the First Amendment. There's no issue here.

Time will tell who and how he will be persicuted. Voting is not persicution, I agree with you. But the tactics of the left, to ruin and destroy those who say what you do not want to hear, vs the Conservatives boycott may look similar and indeed are, but differ in only one way, the depth of the attack.

Like the organised Homosexual attack to ruin the Boyscouts by lawsuits and directly attacking the charitys that help support the Boyscouts.

It is one thing to stop buying boy scout cookies, it is another to pretend to choke on one and sue.
