Having listened to former ‘Republican’ Senator Specter’s recent hate filled comedy routine, I have to question Santorum’s judgment. Didn’t he back Specter over a real conservative recently?

Oh give it a break. He has zero baggage compared to Newt. We need Rick Santorum to win this thing as he is our moral conservative!!!!! I am so proud of Rick Santorum and Iowa!!!! Rick has started commercials in NH. We need Bachmann and Perry to drop out today and Newt to drop out after NH. If this were to happen, Santorum would run the South. Oh how things are coming my way!!! My prayers are being answered!!!!!
If by ‘recently’ you mean 7 to 8 years ago, yes. Specter had also gone to the mat and had put all of his own clout on the line to help Santorum in his previous close races which no doubt helped put him across the finish line, including in 2000 where the head winds were against him with Gore carrying the state. When Specter found himself in a tight spot Santorum returned the favor. It would have required a lack of personal and professional integrity for Santorum not to have done so. Integrity is a disqualifier for some based on the nonsensical vitriol spewed toward Santorum over this issue, but not to me - nor to Pat Toomey.
Newt endorsed RINO Dede Scozzavave in NY’s 23rd district, but Santorum (and Bachmann) endorsed Dede’s opponent conservative Doug Hoffman. We should not hold that alone against Newt, but we also shouldn’t hold one mistake against Santorum either.
