Pennsylvania did not go overwhelmingly for the Zero. There was a whole lot of red in the ‘t.’ Philly routinely has 110 percent voter turnout; and this time they had quasi-Black Panther/Acornists ‘guarding’ polling places there as well. With fraud out of the mix, it was a whole lot closer. There really, and trully are conservatives here...we elected Rick Santorum...and then HE went all party-first AS OPPOSED TO HOLDING TRUE TO HIS (OUR) CONSERVATIVE VALUES and supported Specter (at the behest of GWB)...which lead to his loss which gave us Casey. So...in way...ITS BUSH’S FAULT!!!
That’s convoluted but, in a strange way, it makes sense! lol!
Yeah, no doubt about it. That time it WAS Bush’s fault.
I am still perplexed as to why Rick Santorum lost in 2006.
Santorum was the most articulate, energetic, well respected conservative in the nation.
Yes, he endorsed Specter in 2004, but that is just boilerplate politics... junior Senator supporting the Senior senator.... and hardly a reason to oust him, especially considering Rick's reasoned conservative stances over the years.
Santorum's loss flies in the face of Limbaugh's insistence that 'conservatism wins every time it's tried.'
I am bewildered to this day why a dolt like Casey Jr. could attract enough support from Pennsylvania's conservative middle to defeat Rick Santorum???
