Dear ansel12,
It’s beyond crazy for you to think that Santorum is pro-abortion.
Santorum is not only strongly pro-life, he is endorsed by folks like Gary Bauer and a host of Southern Evangelicals. He is so pro-life that some have smeared him as trying to force his views on women. He believes life begins at conception. He practices his belief, and is raising his seventh child who is afflicted with Down’s syndrome. I’m sure you are aware of his attack on JFK’s speech as being an attempt to insulate religious views from the public dialogue.
So why you folks are so hell-bent on spreadings these falsehoods escapes us especially since your guy Gingrich has not only become the “spoiler” in this race that is giving us Romney, we all know too well Gingrich’s view’s on the individual mandate, on cap and trade, and his view on amnesty (for grandmothers) to say nothing of his looney ideas about permanent moon-based colonies in eight years and $2.50gas/gallon Voila! regardless of world markets and geopolitical conditions.
Again, it was Carl Cameron who reported on FoxNews during Super Tuesday, that “the Romney camp is happy for Gingrich to be in the race” And why not, since we al know that Romney won by a squeaker in MI, AZ, WA, and OH by splitting the conservative vote. Is that what you too want?
Watch this video of Santorum and Specter, and know that Santorum was backing pro-abortion Romney last cycle.
It isn’t a “falsehood”, are you saying that Senator Santorum did not endorse him? That Specter’s platform was not as he says as he announces it on that stage with Santorum cheering him?
Here is video of Senator Santorum on stage with Arlen Specter, as Specter is announcing his Presidential run, based on making the GOP a pro-abortion party, Rick Santorum endorsed him, and campaigned for him and his platform.
