Is this going to win in a general election?



Rick Santorum says he's a fiscal conservative, but is he?



Just a few notes about Santorum.

Sen. Santorum voted for the bridge to nowhere.

In 2003 he voted to extend Medicare drug benefits to seniors, a vote that conservatives have come to characterize as irresponsible. Santorum admitted to making a mistake on Medicare during a ”Fox News Sunday” appearance.

Santorum a lawyer, didn't even live in the district, or the state he was elected from. He lied about his residency. How's that for honesty?

Rick Santorum claims to be a Strong Pro-Life advocate but he personally endorsed Arlan Spector in 2004. Is Spector a Strong Pro-life advocate?

Even for rape and incest and even for saving the mother’s life. None of them justify abortion in Rick Santorum’s opinion.

Santorum’s views are unapologetically black-and-white. He advocates that any doctor performing an abortion under any circumstances should be criminally charged.

Unless it happens to be Rick Santorum’s wife, and she might have died if not for her 20-week-old fetus being “partial birth” aborted.

In October, 1996, his wife Karen had a second trimester abortion. They don’t like to describe it that way. In his 2004 interview with Terry Gross, Santorum characterizes the fetus, who must be treated as an autonomous person, as a practically a gunslinging threat, whom the mother must murder in self-defense. Karen has had to justify her decision to save her own life by explaining that if she died her other children would have lost a mother.
