Didn’t Rick want Specter for president?

Let's see. The Junior Senator of 2 years backed the Senior Senator that helped him campaign supported him for President in a year full of loser candidates. Boy. That is outrageous.

Last time he wanted Romney for President.

Let's see. Santorum knew McLame personally and thought he was a disaster. Remember McCain Fiengold? He and Rush, Levin, DeMint and other Conservatives tried to rally the base behind the best choice available, in another year full of loser Candidates, late in the Primary to knock McLame out. Shocking.

“Let’s see. The Junior Senator of 2 years backed the Senior Senator that helped him campaign supported him for President in a year full of loser candidates. Boy. That is outrageous.”

Hahahahaha! You’re so easy to utterly crush.

Here is an excerpt of what Arlen Specter was running on for his platform! I’ll give you a hint. Pro-abortion, anti-religion, pro-”wall” of seperation between Church and State... All of which Santorum is running on for this election!!

“When Pat Robertson says there is no constitutional doctrine of separation between Church and State, — I say he is wrong. The First Amendment freedom of religion is as important today — as when the Bill of Rights was written.

When Pat Buchanan calls for a Holy War in our society, — I say he is wrong. We don’t need holy wars, — we need tolerance and simple humanity.

When Ralph Reed says a pro-choice Republican isn’t qualified to be our President, — I say the Republican Party will not be blackmailed. I and millions of other pro-choice Republicans — will not be disenfranchised.

I believe there is an important place in public life — for people with deep religious and moral convictions. I am one of them. When I look at teenage pregnancies, — the high crime rate, — the fact that many high school graduates cannot read their own diplomas, — there is no doubt that people with deep religious and moral convictions must be active in the political process. But it is not Christian, — or religious, — or Judeo-Christian to bring God into politics; — or to advocate the intolerance and exclusion.

I think Jack Kemp put it best — when he said when it comes to moral values — we must seek to persuade rather than impose. I want to take abortion out of politics. I want to keep the Republican Party focused on the vital economic and foreign policy issues — and leave moral issues such as abortion to the conscience of the individual. I believe abortion is an issue to be decided by women — not by big government.”

Santorum wanted Arlen Specter to be President, and then he wanted Mitt Romney to be President.

Now Santorum wants himself to be president, is this attorney claiming to be a lifelong conservative or did he come into this late in life?

Hey if you supported Romney in 2008 like Santorum did, then that explains a lot, I never supported Romney myself.
