Up until that day....I admired the guy. For what good reason did he turn over for traitor specter?

Santorum Defends His Undefensable Support for Specter

When Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) --- an articulate, courageous defender of the unborn --- endorsed and campaigned for the pro-abortion, anti-life Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) against the pro-life Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) in the GOP primary, many pro-lifers were puzzled and outraged. Why would Santorum do such a thing?

Well, in a column in “Crisis” magazine, Santorum has defended and explained his support for Specter as the “right” decision. But, what he says is sad because he reveals that he did what he did, basically, for partisan political reasons --- for reasons that put party over principle.

For that, I cannot forgive him. Do it once, do it again. Party over principle is why this country is being flushed.

It was a bad move on his part but he is still one of the most principled Republican’s in the country. Why should we write off Santorum forever when we are happy to support more moderate republicans like Thompson. We can’t win if we eat our own. We have to have some grace and forgiveness for our champions.

For that, I cannot forgive him.

So now we have your man, Senator Casey, representing Pennsylvania! Brilliant -- Congratulations.
