I did already, and I will return to the thread topic, as requested by the moderator. God bless.If you dispute any of my above points, please do so via Ratzinger’s memorandum and the Cathechism of the Catholic Church.
Rick Santorum strongly endorsed two strongly pro-abortion advocates: former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman and former fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, in key political moves that Santorum thought would advance his own career, but actually may have backfired and may have been responsible for his 2006 loss to Democrat Bob Casey who received 59 percent of the vote to Santorum’s 41 percent - the largest margin of defeat ever for an incumbent Republican senator in Pennsylvania…
Rick Santorum’s endorsement of Arlen Specter, a strong supporter of abortion who gave President Barack Obama the key Senate vote to pass Obamacare, is becoming a key issue for true conservatives and true pro-life advocates.
When you get right to it, it appears that Rick Santorum has always been more pro-Santorum than pro-life, endorsing pro-choice Republican candidates whenever doing so seemed good for his political career.
How do you know this?Rick Santorum has explained that he endorsed Arlen Specter after Specter had come to him and asked for his support. Specter at the time was slated to be HEAD of the judiciary committee in charge of Supreme Court appointments and, indeed, did become the head. Santorum expressed that he was concerned that he would block Bush appointments to the Supreme Court. Specter agreed, if he got Santorum’s support, to push through Bush appointments.
Subsequently, Alito and Roberts were appointed.
I can’t speak as to why (according to you) he endorsed Christine Todd Whitman.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Source for Spector quote?Excuses, excuses, excuses. When you make a deal with the devil, expect to get burned.
You claim that Santorum supported Specter because he was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and promised Santorum that he would help usher in President Bush’s Supreme Court nominee, according to Yahoo News. However, Specter has flatly denied that he assured Santorum he would vote for Bush’s Supreme Court nominee in exchange for Santorum’s endorsement, saying “I never made any promises to Senator Santorum.”
Oops.
And just how old is this nephew of Santorum? Did he work with him in Congress? Very strange quote indeed.Rick’s nephew had interesting things to say about him, including:
*“My Uncle Rick cannot fathom a society in which people cooperate and work with each other freely.”

John Garver is certainly entitled to his opinion, but I would respect it more if he backed it up with sources. Otherwise, it’s not any different then the majority of opinion posts on CAF. After all, he’s siding against his own kith and kin, and that holds very little weight with me unless it’s backed up with facts.Rick’s nephew had interesting things to say about him, including:

He doesn’t have to work with him Congress, all one needs to do is look at his record.And just how old is this nephew of Santorum? Did he work with him in Congress? Very strange quote indeed.
So in that way he’s like Obama?Rick’s nephew had interesting things to say about him, including:

I seriously doubt that nephew did that. But in the event he did, we are supposed to cooperate with people that we profoundly disagree with? Hey, I forgot. The Dem definition is cooperation is “you agree with me”. I know that Santorum has a 100% approval record with Pro-life groups and very high ratings with conservative groups. Perhaps those things don’t matter to the nephew.He doesn’t have to work with him Congress, all one needs to do is look at his record.
