It Took A Village Idiot To Raise Rick Santorum

Is there anyone more repulsive than this guy? He says that liberalism is the reason for the Catholic church sex abuse scandal. So, us liberals are in favor of molesting children? Our ideas are responsible for priests commiting such vile acts? I would bet the farm that most priests are conservative, and the Catholic church in general is a conservative institution.

Santorum is on his way out of PA. He is lagging far behind in the polls. There is no doubt, he is gunning for a high profile position in DC, if not actually running for the presidency. He must think he is rallying his conservative friends. He must think the conservative base is a group of misinformed, arrogant, stupid yahoos. I'm glad he thinks that his constituants are so dumb, because every time he opens his big mouth he is that much closer to being kicked out of PA. What the hell is he doing, representing Pennsylvanians anyway? He actually lives in Virginia and there has been speculation that he owns a home in PA that is way too small for his family (six kids). This is an excerpt from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia:

In November 2004, a controversy erupted over education costs for the Senator's children. Santorum's legal address is in Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, but he lives most of the year at his home in Leesburg, Virginia near Washington, DC. Santorum's five older children received education through the Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School with 80% of tuition costs paid by the Penn Hills School District.

At a meeting in November 2004, the Penn Hills School District announced that it did not believe Santorum met the qualifications for residency status since he and his family spend most of the year in Virginia. They demanded repayment of tuition costs totaling $100,000.
Reporters visiting the house Santorum claimed as his noted that, as a two-bedroom, it seemed small for the large Santorum family. The door was answered by a man who refused to identify himself, and neighbors said two cars were regularly parked at the house. When checking at the township government offices, they discovered the building department had never issued a certificate of occupancy and thus no one could legally live in it.
Supporters of the Senator claim that the controversy is politically motivated as the school board is controlled by Democrats and Erin Vecchio, the school board member who first publicly raised the issue, is the chair of the local Democratic Party. They also claim that since Santorum votes in Penn Hills and pays property and school taxes there, he is entitled to the same privileges as any other Penn Hills resident.

After the controversy erupted, Santorum said he would make other arrangements for his children's education, but insists he does not owe the school board any back tuition. In early 2005, both sides agreed to work out a settlement outside the court system. A state appointed hearing officer set a deadline of May 9, 2005 for the parties to reach a settlement. [3]
On July 8, 2005, a Pennsylvania state hearing officer ruled that the Penn Hills School District had not filed objections to Santorum's residency in a timely manor and dismissed the complaint. Santorum hailed the ruling as a victory against what he termed "baseless and politically motivated charges." He told reporters, "No one's children -- and especially not small, school-age children -- should be used as pawns in the 'politics of personal destruction'." [4]
