Who will Rick Santorum back this time? GrassrootsPA has learned that key Santorum allies are said to be having a conference call this afternoon regarding a possible Toomey Specter primary. The topic at hand is said to be what position, if any, the former US Senator should take.
In 2004, Santorum joined President Bush in stumping for Specter...

I will not make that mistake again and today I am doing what I should have done before....I am announcing my full support for Mr. Toomey as the next senator for the great state of Pennsylvania!”

If it takes more than two seconds for Santorum to back Toomey, then his entire conservative persona must be considered suspect.

I had continued to defend Santorum until the Spector thing.
Even then, I figured that a man can make a mistake.
But if he supports snarlin Arlen again...well I’m through.
Go Toomey!

I saw Santorum on C-Span about a year back going on and on with some leftard. The general gist was "we're too fiscally conservative". Santorum is no conservative and should not be regarded as one.

The Toomey/Specter race in 2004 was a defining moment, at least for many Pennsylvanians. That’s when it became clear that the GOP had abandoned the conservative principles of the ‘94 revolution, and became a party merely concerned with maintaining power. Of course that’s what caused them to lose it

If it takes more than two seconds for Santorum to back Toomey, then his entire conservative persona must be considered suspect. Being that he was the Senate sponsor of the Prescription Drug Pandering act, his "entire conservative persona" has been suspect for quite sometime now.

Just out of curiosity...if Santorum is not a conservative, who in the judgment of those on this board is? Purely informational request.
To: bill1952
Santorum also endorsed the liberal Slick Willard for President, too. He jumped the shark.

I am announcing my full support for Mr. Toomey as the next senator for the great state of Pennsylvania! I doubt it. I think Rick would say "commonwealth."

Let’s focus on the task at hand.

Seems these clowns are all in bed together.
Last time around Bush and Santorum both helped Specter squeak by and Specter then crapped on ALL Republicans.
And Santorum and Bush will probably support the rino turd this go around too.
