“Santorum knows nothing about running a country let alone a country in peril. How the heck is this guy going to have the time to learn the ropes he’ll need to know to even begin to make the decisions he’ll need to...and where’s his plan? “

“Rick Santorum participated in raiding the federal treasury as an earmarxist, perfectly happy to pork away on Pennsylvania’s behalf. He did not join conservatives who fought against No Child Left Behind. He did not join conservatives who fought against the prescription drug benefit.
Rick Santorum was part of the problem in Washington. He was one of the Republicans the public rejected in 2006. The voters in Pennsylvania rejected him in 2006 because of his and the Republicans’ profligate ways. Along with Tom DeLay, Rick Santorum led the K Street Project, which traded perks for lobbyists for money for the GOP funded with your tax dollars through earmarks and pork projects.
Sure, you can say 2006 was a bad year for Republicans, but in 2006 Rick Santorum fell 18 percentage points behind his Democratic rival and his defeat and terrible campaign can be linked to the loss of four Pennsylvania house seats.
That was not a defeat for Rick Santorum. It was punishment. He is a pro-life statist and I see nothing in his career since leaving Washington that shows he has changed his ways.”
I live in Pa and am familiar with that loss. Pennsylvania was fed up with Rick and showed it clearly at the polls. Heck he even fought against Clintons impeachment!! People here have not forgotten and some will not forgive him for what he created....and no amount of excuses we see slathered on FR is going to cut it.
