here is how he voted when a senator:

Santorum’s voting record shows that he embraced George Bush–style “big-government conservatism.” For example, he supported the Medicare prescription-drug benefit and No Child Left Behind.

He never met an earmark that he didn’t like. In fact, it wasn’t just earmarks for his own state that he favored, which might be forgiven as pure electoral pragmatism, but earmarks for everyone, including the notorious “Bridge to Nowhere.” The quintessential Washington insider, he worked closely with Tom DeLay to set up the “K Street Project,” linking lobbyists with the GOP leadership.

It doesn't matter what party they claim. They are all completely full of shit. I would respect them if they would at least tell us they're full of shit and don't care what we think. Instead they lie to us, and then do whatever the fuck they want.

Don't want my vote because I'm black? Just say so. My feelings won't be hurt.
Don't want my vote because I'm self employed and you can't buy my vote with promises of social program spending? Fuck you too.

They speak to us like we're children, or idiots, or maybe both. It's insulting.
