Santorum’s in big ol trouble
Specter is a devil.
Santorum was effectively returning a favor by endorsing Specter despite his aggressive pro-abortion-rights views. Specter had supported Santorum’s 1994 Senate campaign.
*******************
Santorum didn’t become pro-life until 88? 89? I believe he said. I guess he didn’t become strongly pro-life until even later?
Now this big family guy did NOT give a rat's behind to set the example to the American public what was and was NOT acceptable in an American president.... Guess he was a ‘Scottish law’ tenant, whatever that really means.
NO I do not like Santorum and have NOT since he Spectored US into a cheap imitation impeachment proceeding. I do not trust him to know right from wrong.
"...in “Crisis” magazine, Santorum defended and explained his support for Specter as the “right” decision."
"Santorum says he supported Specter “because it will further the causes in which I believe and because it’s in the best interest of my state.” He says Specter has a better chance of beating his Democrat opponent whereas Toomey “would have had a much tougher race.” He says President Bush agreed that Specter was a stronger candidate."
"Santorum says that as a “Republican leader” he has a responsibility to support incumbent senators generally, and Specter specifically. Reelecting Specter, he says, improves the chances of the GOP keeping control of the Senate." Santorum also says that “clearly a pro-life Republican majority that includes Senator Specter” is better than Specter’s totally pro-choice Democrat opponent. Santorum includes Specter in the Senate’s “pro-life” GOP majority...And he says this because Specter --- who Santorum also refers to as “pro-choice” --- voted for a ban on partial-birth abortion and fetal-homicide bills."
"Santorum helping the Republican “team” .."
And?
Newt Gingrich is lucky on this endorsement business, since apparently he never endorses anybody but himself.

Uh huh; exactly. And, this is the same reason why my girl Sarah endorsed John McCain in his last Senate reelection campaign. It’s called feeling a sense of obligation to return the favor to people who helped put you where you are today. Sarah did it for John McLame and Rick did it for Specter. Now, can we put all this crap behind us. I despised RS for years for endorsing Specter. I was more “understanding” to Sarah for endorsing McLame.
bump for later
Sounds like Santorum is willing to conpromise. Eeps.
Another article and series of posts from people who cannot understand the incompatibility of party politics and ideology.
Anyone who thinks you can be of pure ideology and an elected member of a political party is an imbecile.
