Horse pucky!
If Santorum was a genuine threat, the ads would be targeting him.
Newt was never a consideration for the Michigan vote so where's the rationale in running a massive campaign against him there and not the surging Santorum?
The establishment have you all right where they want you.
Romney and Santorum are their guys.
Remember Santorum was the 3rd ranking Republican when fired by PA voters. Given a choice, he chose the later traitorous Spector over conservative Toomey in the PA Republican senate primary.
Learn from history! Vet this guy inside and out before you leap on his bandwagon.
Look into his vote for Sotomayor's Circuit Court confirmation (even McCain didn't do that!), his uncharitable charity that doled out only a third of donations before folding when he lost reelection, his leadership PAC that spent more than $4 of ever $5 on itself rather than candidates, his suspect half million dollar mortgage from a major donor's private bank, his toothless proposals, his personal hypocrisy on tort reform and healthcare, his building party ties to lobbyists and his own lobbying, proposed and voted for an extra $550m in Amtrack funds above the $900m budgeted, his immigration record, his abuse of PA education tax dollars for his kids living in VA, his love of earmarks and crony capitalism, the $100m federal loan for an energy plant that was never built, his Medicare Part D and ties to GlaxoSmithKline, his interventionist foreign policy, his attitude towards working women.
Rick Santorum is a target rich environment from the Right, the Left, and in between.
Constitutional Conservatives, Tea Party Patriots, and all others should heed Sarah Palin's CPAC call to vet all the candidates.
Good summary. I’m really puzzled as to why none of this is being addressed or even mentioned. There is a certain dishonesty about Santorum that I find very disturbing, and both he and his supporters act as if it is unfair to ask any questions about him and also as if he has a special exemption from being held to normal public ethics standards.
I even saw one poster who defended Santorum’s lying about his residence so that his kids could take advantage of the home-schooling program in a PA school district while his residence was in VA (and then letting the state of PA pay the $50,000 fine assessed by the district) by saying that as a “Senator he deserved this.” I think Santorum suffers from that strange entitlement attitude that only the self-righteous (and many elected officials) have that permits them to ignore certain ethical and even legal requirements as being “for the little people,” and if he is examined more objectively, a lot more of this is going to come out.
You people are simply childish little cowards who don’t have the simple courage to admit that your pathetic little hero has fallen right back to where he started.
