Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania told a Republican lawyers group Friday their party should take the filibuster off the table as an option against President Obama's judicial nominations.
The word filibuster should not come out of the lips of Republican senators," Santorum told a gathering of the Republican National Lawyers Association in Washington. He said "any idea of a filibuster is folly" given the slim chances of success....

He said "any idea of a filibuster is folly" given the slim chances of success The chance of success is zero because it's the wrong thing to do ... regardless of whether it holds up a nominee.

Vidkun Santorum, who backed Specter against Toomey, rears his traitorous head once more.

The republican party and the majority of its elected members are linguine spined cowards. No fight in them... always reaching across the isle... ready to compromise at the drop of a hat... always wanting to be the peace maker and rising above the dims... AND ALWAYS LOSING ELECTIONS... connect the dots.

I must say that Rick Santorum did a fantastic job while he was running and in office at getting people to believe that he’s a staunch conservative...

I must say that Rick Santorum did a fantastic job while he was running and in office at getting people to believe that he’s a staunch conservative. Some of us did notice the signs (e.g. his "AccuWeather Monopoly" bill to benefit a campaign contributor) that he was just another Beltway Bandit.

This is just a prelude before he announces his support for Spector.

Santorum is a POS!
Our Country is really on the abyss and these two-bit fake conservatives who now own and run the Republican Party will do nothing to try to stop it.
They could not stop themselves from spending and being liberal when they ran Congress and could never get used to being in true power (unlike the Dems who wield their power ruthlessly) and are more content being the minority but getting all the money and perks in their personal lives from their positions.
All of these Republicans are complicit in the destruction of this great country.

Sad to see what has happened to Santorum. Endorsing Specter, endorsing Slick Willard... now this...
