Rick Santorum

	Back at you, Santorum - The Boston Globe
		It wasn't all that long ago when Santorum, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania, was blaming our entire city and seemingly every resident within it for the Catholic priest pedophile scandal that was unraveling all across the country.
		A Santorum spokesman was kind enough to provide even more clarity last year, telling me, ``It's an open secret that you have Harvard University and MIT that tend to tilt to the left in terms of academic biases.
		Santorum seemed to be all but gloating when he blamed Democrats, liberal academics, and everything Boston for pedophilic priests.

		Santorum claimed that he was just offering his opinion of the case now before the U.S. Supreme Court in which two gay men are challenging Texas' sodomy laws.
		Santorum is undoubtedly right—if people feel freer of the constraints imposed by the prying eyes of their neighbors, they will explore different ways of expressing themselves and enjoying life.
		Santorum believes that acceptance of homosexuality and other "deviant" sexual practices is "antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family." Just as Toffler was prophetic about the growing acceptance of homosexuality, he was also prescient about what would likely happen to family structures.

		Rick Santorum always pointed to the end, to the campaign's final weeks, when he would be poised for another one of his comeback victories.
		Stuck at 40 percent in surveys and anxious to draw Casey into a public debate, Santorum shifted his TV ad campaign last week back to illegal immigration, one of his sharper differences with an opponent who can be difficult to pin down.
		Santorum voted against a Senate immigration bill - critics call it an amnesty measure - that Casey said he supports.

	Issue One: Sen. Santorum and Boston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In response to Sen. Rick Santorum's scurrilous remarks blaming the people of Boston for creating an atmosphere that led to the sexual abuse scandal among its Catholic clergy, I would remind him that it is difficult to find an institution more conservative than the Catholic church.
		Since Sen. Santorum's position is held by the majority of Americans, one can only conclude that the PG's intemperate editorial is part of a chilling, coordinated, nationwide attack to besmirch the good record of the senator in order to silence him and thus deny him freedom of speech.
		Santorum's comments on Boston were so indefensible that one of his local supporters, Molly Hoover, could only resort to character attacks on Santorum's critics in the July 19 letter "No Position to Blame." Ms.

		A poll of Pennsylvania voters indicated that the senator's approval rating remained steady at 55 percent after the gay flap, but previously undecided voters boosted his disapproval rating to 33 percent from 20 percent.
		Santorum's remarks were part of his commentary on the pending Supreme Court decision over a constitutional challenge to the anti-gay sodomy law in Texas.
		In the April 7 interview, Sen. Santorum said: "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.

		On the stump this week, Santorum has pulled on his costume early, inserted his plastic teeth and is attempting to drain the blood out of voters by using the well-warn Rovian tactic of flat-out fear.
		As each analogy falls apart, so goes the Santorum campaign and the Republican’s placement of their party as the sole repository of all that is good about the US foreign policy.
		Santorum is the only Republican incumbent to have his re-election chances rated weaker than “Leans Democrat.” The weakest Democrat of 2006 is New Jersey’s Bob Menendez whose race with Tom Kean Jr.

		Although Santorum was in charge of the K Street Project, he continues to downplay his involvement while claiming to be a committed ethics reformer - even though he revealed today that his version of reform involves having lobbyists regulate themselves.
		Santorum has repeatedly opposed efforts to strengthen lobbying reform, he runs the controversial K Street Project for the GOP, and has taken more campaign contributions from lobbyists in the 2006 cycle than any other candidate up for election in November.
		Santorum should call for the ad to be taken off the air because its sponsor, a group known as Americans for Job Security, declines to identify its donors.

		That's a luxury that Santorum certainly doesn't have in his bid for a third term.

		Santorum described a loose coalition of “dictators who want to bring darkness to the world” and destroy “freedom and everything we hold dear.” He evoked Winston Churchill on the brink of World War II, warning of a global conflagration.
		Santorum did very well, as he usually does in those type of settings. I was glad to see the majority of the focus of the interview relating to national issues that mostly had to do with national security. Isn’t that ultimately the most important issue there is when it comes down to it.
		Santorum secured funding for educational programs at the Pittsburgh Symphony, the African American Cultural Center, the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, the National Aviary, the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

	Santorum's Family Affair - FactCheck.org
		Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum shows his children claiming that political opponents have criticized him "for moving us to Washington," and that "they criticized us for attending a Pennsylvania public school over the Internet." In fact, the critique was of Santorum, not his children.
		The ad is Santorum's response to accusations by local officials that he exploited a Pennsylvania program that paid tens of thousands of dollars in tuition for his children to be educated via a publicly supported Internet charter school while the family was living in Virginia.
		If all politics are indeed local, then where Santorum lives and who pays for his children's education may be at least as serious a re-election issue for him as Iraq or immigration.

		Santorum's spokesperson started the weaselword asscovering process by insisting that those comments should be taken "only in the context related specifically to the right to privacy in the Supreme Court case" and that Santorum "has no problem with gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender individuals." I can't wait for the heartful interview on Gay Entertainment Television.
		Santorum actually said, "And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.
		And he discusses the Santorum affair further in his weblog today (no permalinks, you may have to scroll down).

		Santorum's responsibility is to make sure each one is filled by a loyal Republican--a senator's chief of staff, for instance, or a top White House aide, or another lobbyist whose reliability has been demonstrated.
		After Santorum settles on a candidate, the lobbyists present make sure it is known whom the Republican leadership favors.
		And thanks to the growing number of associations whose executives are beholden to DeLay or Santorum, these campaigns are increasingly put in the service of GOP candidates and causes.

		The tepid reaction hardly amounted to a ringing endorsement of marriage and family in the face of the homosexual lobby's aggressive political agenda.
		In fact, Sen. Santorum's remarks about the implications of the Texas anti-sodomy law case reflect the Supreme Court's own reasoning in Bowers v.
		As Sen. Santorum observed, if the court strikes down laws against sodomy on the basis of a so-called "right to privacy," could not the same reasoning be applied to same-sex marriage, polygamy, incest and other "private" sexual arrangements among consenting adults?

		Santorum underestimates us People Paper readers if he expects his involvement with the "Bicameral Open Space Caucus" - whatever that is - and support of "telecommuting" to eclipse a career of voting against clean water programs, toxic waste cleanup and chemical exposure regulations.

	Carl Pope: Taking the Initiative: April 21, 2005 - Sierra Club
		Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, one of the most ardent advocates of the "nuclear option," which would turn the Senate from a forum where the minority has a robust right to offer amendments and debate issues into a majority-driven autocracy like today's House, seems anxious.
		Combined with other poll results that show people are very unhappy with Congress overall, and even less happy about the Terri Schiavo affair, Santorum is reportedly urging his leadership to slow down from forcing a vote on the issue -- in part, I suspect, because he is not certain that they have the votes.
		Although my hope is that, once these issues get exposed in the light of public day, Santorum and the leadership might back down, they seem to have learned no real lesson from public dismay about their heavy-handedness and lust for power -- except to be more secretive.
