Neither Karen Garver or Dr. Tom Allen were married when they were in a relationship (1982-1989). Garver married Santorum in 1990. Allen started dating his current wife in 1989 and married her in 1996.
Karen was not the doctor's mistress, she was his girlfriend.
Rick and Karen Santorum's marriage appears to have been intact since they were married in 1990.
Personally, I could care less. This election should be about the economy and issues, not about which candidate is more "pure".
Of course she was the doctor’s mistress. Lived in his house, on his money. He took her abroad on expensive travels, bought her a piano and paid for her lessons, clothes and food. Most of his money came from abortions and Karen knew it and didn’t care. I guess she was much less Catholic then *grin*
Well, she was poor, he had money, that fills the 42 years difference in age .
When Rick met her, he knew all about her relation with the abortionist, and didn’t care either; I guess he wasn’t such a staunch Catholic at the time either.
As for the marriage to be intact, I don’t know and I don’t care. What gets on my nerves is Rick throwing it in our faces at each occasion.
