something well known in Congress and here in PA.

Maybe you can enlighten a fellow Keystone Stater to all these egregious episodes where Santorum said things that furthered the Lefts agenda. Since you claim everyone in Congress and the whole state of PA know this, you should have no problem rattling off 8 or 10 of them off the top of your head.

When Santorum went to the Senate and particularly when he was in the Senate Leadership, Santorum went completely off the rails legislating as a moderate.

In the 2006 race, Santorum campaigned as ‘a liberal’ for which he lost and deserved to lose his reelection bid for US Senate - 59% to 41% - an 18% massacre in a “must-win” state. Santorum’s loss was “the largest defeat by a Republican United States senator seeking election or re-election in modern Pennsylvania history.

Santorum boasted of ‘teaming up with Joe Lieberman, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton’ in his 2006 political ad for re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Santorum ‘opposed the Tea Party’ and its reforms in the Republican Party and conservative movement just a couple years ago saying,...... And I will vocally and publicly oppose it.”

Santorum campaigned for radical pro-abortion candidates including former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman .

in 2008, Santorum also endorsed Mitt Romney, telling us that Mitt was the candidate for conservatives.

Santorum actively supports the Global Fund, which “channels a large portion of its funds through Planned Parenthood’s affiliates around the world and through a British group Marie Stopes International (the largest chain of abortion mills in the UK, with 66,000 abortions a year.)
