Because seven years ago, he joined Bush and the party leadership and supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey.
It was a capitulation and certainly a mistake. But to hold it against him for the rest of his life is a little nutty. He’s a good man and he brings a lot to these debates. I’m glad he’s there.
I was here on FR when that the Specter/Toomey thing happened, didn't agree with it but understood that it was traditional politics, and watched people lose their minds over it in rage and near insanity.
But to still be so angry that you don't see Santorum for who he really is - a rock solid, principled conservative, and the most openly and strongly pro-life candidate in the field......
That's more than 'a little nutty.' It's just plain stupid.
Thanks for the insight, Whistling. Unbelieveable.
