I’ll forgive Newt for endorsing RINO Dede Scozzavave in NY’s 23rd district, if you’ll forgive Rick Santorum for his mistakes (or perceived mistakes).
We should not hold that alone against Newt, but we also shouldn’t expect Santorum to be perfect either.
ALSO, Santorum endorsed Dede Scozzavave’s OPPONENT, CONSERVATIVE Doug Hoffman.
NEXT, let’s look at Rick Santorum’s REASON for endorsing Specter:
“The Truth Regarding Santorum’s Endorsement of Arlen Specter
October 12, 2011
“The reason I endorsed Arlen Specter is because we were going to have two Supreme Court nominees coming up,” said Santorum. “I got a commitment from Arlen Specter that no matter who George W. Bush would nominate, he would support that nominee.”
excerpt http://blog.lisagraas.com/2011/10/12/the-truth-regarding-santorums-endorsement-of-arlen-specter/
Santorum said Alito would not be a Justice if it weren’t for Specter. Specter was very effective at being the head of the Judicial Committee.
OK, now it’s YOUR TURN. Care to tell me why Newt endorsed Dede Scozzavave?
Arlen Specter (it would seem) is a man who is for sale.
He works for those who give him the best deal.
Now he’s working in comedy clubs making jokes about past associates.
It’s “proven.” Arlen Specter is a jerk.
