>> Rick saved lives by voting for Specter so Roberts and Alito could be choosen. <<

Roberts was confirmed 78-22, and Alito was confirmed 58-42, so your statement doesn't make sense. Specter didn't recommend them, and wasn't the deciding vote on either of those justices -- they would have won confirmation by comfortable margins whether Specter or Hoeffel (or Toomney for that matter) was holding the Senate seat at the time.

What does my location have to do with the subject of Santorum’s support of liberals ? And I know where you live, you’ve told me... repeatedly. BTW, did you know Santorum is no longer residing in PA ? He lives in Virginia. He spent 16 years in DC, I think he caught Potomac Fever, and it poisoned him. Now he lives very close to DC, a lot closer than the Pittsburgh area.

It was Dr. Sivana that implied Santorum had endorsed Kirk, unless I misread what he wrote. I’ve been trying to locate that info online, but haven’t tracked it down. If he has not, that’s good, but it still doesn’t change his two prior endorsements of Specter and Slick Willard. The latter alone disqualifies him for any future office in my estimation (he claimed to speak to him for an hour on the phone, and that “cinched” it for him - talking to a world-class liar and master manipulator - so either Rick believes in supporting liberals is A-OK, or Rick is a stupid man who can be easily fooled. Either way, I think he has jumped the shark).

I suggest you call it a night. You're not doing yourself any good.

I don't post to waste time but that's what I believe I've done with you here and I'm finished.

I would agree on that point, but simply note that I opposed Fred Thompson in the primary for similar reasons, his track record of vocally supporting RINOs in primary elections (McCain over Bush, Chaffee over Laffey, Simmons over Schiff, etc.) because the beltway crowd wanted them. Your excuse is the past was it's okay because Fred was simply a patriotic guy "trying to help the Republicans maintain a majority". How's that any different from the Santorum apologists on this thread are say? Basically it's -- Gee whiz, Rick only supported Specter because he was polling best against the Dems and Rick, being the good Republican he was, wanted to make sure the seat stayed in GOP hands so they could keep the majority".

I agree that Romney is a slick talking RINO but I'm with the majority of freepers who feel McCain is even worse than Romney, and Chafee is even worse than Specter. Fred did the exact same thing for Chafee that Santorum did for Specter, he quite vocally stumped for him in the primary over a real Republican, and mislead GOP voters to believe that the RINO scumbag was "agrees with me on most issues" and is "with us when it matters"

On the one hand you pat Fred on the back for "keeping TN's Senate seats in GOP hands", on the other hand you constantly decry how both of TN's senators are now squishy borderline RINOs. You can't have it both ways.

You do seem to always hold your hero Fred to a different standard than you hold all other GOP senators. What's the difference between Santorum's support of RINOs, and Fred's? I can't see any.

Billy, do we really need to go over this again ? I never said Fred was right all of the time, but I never questioned his intent or what he was trying to accomplish (meaning, never any willful malice on his part and deliberate attempts to sabotage Conservatism or the GOP - and never did I see anyone go out of his way to help other candidates as he did, when there was nothing in it for him, he could’ve just hung it up and retired, but he was always out there for the party’s candidates).

The difference here is that Santorum KNEW the Conservatives preference in ‘04, he saw the tide, and he willfully and maliciously acted to help Specter, a known liberal (and he actually, naively, believed that Specter would help him out, which was shocking). I think he harbored some level of jealousy towards Toomey, who perhaps he felt would overshadow him. It’s the intent here that is the difference. His actions were RINOesque, and one occasion is one thing, but he did it twice, with the second time demonstrating he clearly is not very bright.

This is a quote from one of his books: “The notion that college education is a cost-effective way to help poor, low-skill unmarried mothers with high school diplomas or GED’s move up the economic ladder is just wrong.” Though it isn’t really cost-effective with too much of the dole now going to education, try explaining that to the brain-dead out there who were originally too stupid to say “no” to their boyfriends.

I suggest you take your own advice, madam. And wash out your mouth with soap while you’re at it.
