Well, what's Rick's excuse here? He's not all that shiny.


"FELLOW PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR Rick Santorum has slavishly praised Specter in a television spot. Santorum also sent his own staff to buoy Specter's team in the field, and has told everyone within earshot that the primary challenger, Rep. Pat Toomey, is "too conservative for Pennsylvania." "

You don't want me to start listing the supporters of snarlin Arlen and what he supports.

I also recall some issue years back with Santorum living in Virginia and claiming residence in PA. My memory is fuzzy but I’m thinking he had a tiny house in PA that would not have been big enough for his family and they had never actually lived in it. Do you recall anything about that?

I was long gone from Pennsylvania by then. I go way back to the days of Ed Martin and Hugh Scott as US Senators. Heck, I still think of Bill Scranton as the "new" governor! :-)

But I have pinged Lazlo in PA who is the goto source for all things current in the Keystone State.

The issue you folks are discussing was something that the Rats tried to nail Rick on in ‘06. A Casey operative and Rat activist living in Ricks school district Penn Hills filed a complaint against them because Rick was using the Home School on line programs the state of PA offers. The argument was that Rick and his family were residing in VA while he was Senator and was not allowed access to this material. The fact is, Rick was paying taxes there and the rules stated that if you were a PA resident, no matter where you were in the world, you were allowed to access these materials.

Rick reimbursed the school district to put the issue to bed if I recall. Later, the state of PA investigated the issue and found Rick was totally in his rights to access the materials because he was a PA state taxpayer and his official residence was in Penn Hills school district. The administration that cleared Rick was Rendell’s, a partisan Rat to the first degree.

This is a non issue and if the Rats and Leftists want to dig it up again great. It will only open up a discussion on Home Schooling which is a good thing.

>> where are the other 7 states that Obama was talking about? <<

I’ve thought about this question again and again over the past three years, since I am a geography fanatic, and all I can come up with is that he was referring to the “jurisdictions” that send delegates to the Dhimmi Nacional Convention, to wit:

50 States, plus

51. District of Columbia

52. U. S. Virgin Islands

53. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

54. Commonwealth of Guam

55. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariannas

56. American Samoa

57. “Democrats Abroad” (Yes, the Dhimmi Party has a special primary for them.)

Thanks Lazlo - I wasn't trying to smear Santorum, I just couldn't remember the particulars.

State of Denial, State of Panic, State of Misery, State of Euphoria, State of Bliss, State of Emergency, and the State of Fear?

I saw that yesterday and it’s looks cheesy bogus. I’m still awaiting for the ball-less FEC to look into all those $$ millions of foreign funds that illegally filled Obama’s coffer back in 2008. Yeah that right, not a dang thing happened to the ‘above the law’ Obama.

And, BTW, a presidential campaign can legally pay the candidate up to $400,000. It’s the very reason Al Sharpton ran every 4 years and loony tunes RuPaul still runs for elections. It is to pad their incomes.

I know it wouldn’t even get a mention if it were Obama.

You do know that Cain is endorsing Gingrich and appearing with him at campaign events, right?

Because it might be considered strange to call yourself a "CainConservative", yet support a megalomaniac sweater vest wearing fraud who only has money to campaign because Romney backers are footing the bill.

That’s a real OLD Poll. Not worth citing anymore.
