I see him as a pure political animal who has mined the Pro-life movement - which I believe he firmly supports - for every bit of support he can get.

You believe he supports it?

He and his wife eschewed the easy way out abortion and carried to term a severely disabled son who lived for mere hours, dying in his loving parents' arms.

So, yeah, he does more than just mine the pro-life movement.

Unfortunately, Santorum is damaged goods for any national run, just like Sarah. The media and the liberals have ripped them apart and they can not be rehabbed.

I hope all those conservative purists are enjoying Sen. Casey. Especially when he votes for Obama's health care plan.

The perfect should not be the enemy of the good.

Wow, you’re optimism is inspiring...../sarc off.

WHERE’S YOUR HOPE AND OPTIMISM, PEOPLE???? Sarah Palin has the ability to defeat Obama! We need to rally around her! DON’T LISTEN TO THE RINO-INFESTED GOP!!!!! DON’T GIVE THEM A SINGLE PENNY!!!!!!

Don’t be discouraged and don’t back down! We’ve gotta fight for our country!

Out of all the potential GOP candidates, ONLY Sarah Palin has the ability to draw HUGE crowds on a two-day notice.

We’ve gotta support her, 100%!!!!

We're not talking about Santorum being a proud soldier in the Senate - or even the house - for the pro-life movement. We're talking about Rick having the temerity to think he can be President of the United States.

It's a straw man argument that you put forth regarding the perfect being the enemy of the good. Santorum sold the solidly pro-life Toomey down the expedient river to support his buddy Specter. For what? If Rick had the integrity to hold W's feet to the fire and support Pro-life Toomey over Pro-Choice Specter we might have had TWO pro-life Senators from Pennesylvania. We would have purged one of the most notorious RINO's ever from the Republican Party. You know the one - the Democrat Senator from Pennsylvania - Arlen Specter.

What cost Santorum his political future wasn't him being good enough. It was his being perfectly willing to go-along to get along.

That's part of what the Tea-Party, and FR, is about not letting the status quo govern us - but rather electing Conservatives who will actually honor their oathes to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Rick Santorum is all about Rick Santorum. I'm glad he's damaged goods.

So how much urine is acceptable in your coffee?

Why is he “Santorum is damaged goods for any national run”?
