I don’t understand you comment about Santorum being completely responsible for Obamacare. How can that be when he was not even in the Senate nor on the scene during that time. In fact, he was travelling through Iowa at that time.
You know that if Santorum had stuck to what he calls his principles we might not have Obamacare right now?
What this means is that if he had never supported Arlen Specter then Specter might not have won his primary challenge and then not been in place to abandon his party. Santorum recognizes this as a mistake but it isn't just a "whoops my bad, mea culpa, forgive me". It was very public support for a liberal over a conservative that all conservatives at the time saw as a huge sellout. Now one could argue that Arlen might still have won, that another vote could have been found if he hadn't voted, one could argue a whole what ifs. The facts are still that a supposed conservative supported a liberal over another conservative and that liberal was the deciding vote on Obama care. How could you possibly support the man after this? Do you enjoy being stabbed in the back?
