Some of us "attack" Santorum because of his record.

He just brought up his "homeschooling" again and "local control" but his actual record reflects he took $72,000 from a local Pennsylvania school district to "homeschool" five of his kids while he and his family were living in D.C. While ruled legal, it's something that helped defeat him in 2006. Things like this leave a bitter taste, particular in a candidate who holds himself up as Mr. Clean.

He voted to confirm Clinton nominee Sonya Sotomayer to the 2nd Circuit while knowing she'd be fast tracked to the Supreme Court which is precisely where Obama put her.

Then there's introducing and voting for an added half-billion in funding, on top of $900 billion, for Amtrak's budget. There's a whole host of things that put a big question mark on Santorum's actual conservative credentials beyond certain social issues.

Okay, please stop repeating the local PA dem talking points about this issue. Rick Santorum OWNED A HOME AND PAYED LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES in that school district. Sheesh! When you have to resort to lies started by Dems to justify your attacks it makes it sound like you don't really have anything but your own personal bias.

I'm sure there are other legitimate issues to use, please concentrate on those and drop this.
