Santorum loses it in a radio spot! Poor, put-upon Rick.
Edited on Fri May-26-06 03:39 PM by FLDem5
Everyone is against him! Listen to the crazy man, courtesy of Atrios.

Adding fuel to the Santorum roast is Christy Hardin from FDL with this blast from Rickie's past:

Goose
In 1990, Santorum unseated Rep. Doug Walgren, attacking on the issue of whether Walgren actually lived in his home district.
"I’ve talked to his neighbors. His parents live there. He does not live there," Santorum said in a November 1990 debate.

Meet Gander
Before every election, the Post-Gazette routinely sends letters to the candidates seeking material for the Voters Guide. Back in March, as part of that process for the primary, the newspaper sent a letter to Rick Santorum at his home address, at least the one that he claims. Back from Penn Hills came the letter with a sticker from the U.S. Postal Service checked as "Not Deliverable As Addressed — Unable To Forward."
<snip>
This is not to say that he doesn’t visit Penn Hills from time to time. But while he may meet the legal requirements for residency, his home is in Virginia with his wife and children. This is well-known and it has been for quite a while. Indeed, it was at the heart of the objection by some Penn Hills residents to the local school district paying for the senator’s children to be enrolled in a cyber charter school. The theory was that — let us emphasize it again because it is central to the current problem — he doesn’t live here anymore.


This particular quote of his from his first race is my personal fave:
"my primary residence will be in suburban Pittsburgh -- unlike the incumbent, who lives full-time in Virginia and maintains no residence in Allegheny County.''


Poor misunderstood Rick. He helps found The K-Street Project, cleans up from lobbyists better than any other member, and never misses an opportunity to compare homosexuals to polygamists.

And what does he get for his troubles? Mean-spirited people who can't understand why someone who admits he no longer resides in the state he represents, should be forced to move from this:
to this:

Poor, poor Rick.

2. Hahahaha
He's unhinged. (paraphrasing)

RS: "Common sense tells you he had to trespass to get this info."

PJ: "Couldn't someone who had been invited have given him this info?"

RS: "Stop! Quit making excuses for him. Anybody can see what you're doing."

PJ: "Isn't is possible...?"

RS: "The man went on my property and is making accusations. I have proof."

PJ: "What proof?"

RS: "I have proof that he says there are no blinds and no furniture."

PJ: "is it possible someone gave him that info?"

RS: "Anything is possible." :dunce:
