Santorum and Romney were partners last time around..... Just as Santorum and Specter were partners in 1996 when Specter ran on removing the pro-life movement from the Republican Party. Needs another reminder for folks who need the facts.
No to mention Santorums support for Christine Whitman. And here's what she stood for:
Pro global warming.. Head of EPA....formed action committee consisting of Pro Log cabin dudes.....pro-abortion...Pro- partial birth abortion....additionally was earmarked to serve under the Obama Administration.
So what business did Santorum have in voting for someone who stood in direct opposition to those things he claims he stands for.....or does he?
That is kind of the point, the man is unvetted, invisible except for his own perfect image that he himself created and has delivered. The media, the left, the establishment, none have set upon the man as they do with true effective conservatives like a Palin, or Reagan, or Gingrich, so no one knows about the incredibly bizarre history and record of Santorum.
If you read his early politics when he was pro-abortion and anti-Reagan (he described Reagan supporters as the "right-wing fringe"), and purely focused on the very moderate parts of the GOP, working only for pro-choice moderates, exactly the kind that he has always continued to support in elections, he mentions his theories on carving out a niche and hanging on to it.
Santorum used to label himself in his campaign literature, a "Progressive Conservative".
The early Santorum is always described as not being interested in issues themselves, but in how to use them.
Before switching to pro-life for his first campaign, this is how he described himself, like Romney he was.
"I was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress"
This is his first campaign position paper he wrote to grab pro-life voters, it is less than inspiring.
