It's not just the media....(although you're right)...
.....have you not read through the daily threads at FR & waded through the lies, innuendo, ridicule against Santorum?..
..there's a core... 'let'a beat up Santorum today'...group who never has a kind thing to say about him.
I agree. The attacks on Santorum (in over his head, lightweight, etc) are very similiar to the attacks on Sarah Palin. Any good and moral man in the public arena will be continually attacked. This is the reality of America today.
