here in PA, Rick Santorum is in the run for his political life. Santorum is also one the far right fringe of the Far Right. he's the one who compared gay marriage to "man on dog" sex. He's the PA senator who flew to Florida to exploit Terri Schivo and gain some points with the religious radicals at the time. He's the guy who has voted WITH bushie and amazing, and embarrassing, 98% of the time. And, he's anywhere from 7-17 points behind his opponent, a virtual unknown of Bob Casey. Santorum's not been ahead in the polls at any time since the primaries here in May. And he's tried every type of campaign ad imaginable.
And then I saw this tonight. It's a TV ad where Santorum is in a wrestling ring and while two wrestlers duke it out, Santorum says how sometimes cooperation is needed in DC, and then he goes on to tout some of the compromises he made (again, from a man who voted WITH Bushie's agenda 98% of the time). he mentions working with Senator Barbara Boxer on something. This would be the SAME Senator Barbara Boxer that in some of the campaign flyers he sent out is denounced by his campaign.
He further has the gall to mention he's worked with Hillary CLinton on violence in video games. yes, THE Hillary Clinton! The SAME Hillary Clinton who Santorum mocked when he wrote his book "It Takes A Family" (parodying Hillary's "It Takes A Village").
How is it, that a far right fringer like Santorum is touting cooperation with Hillary Clinton, the female anti-Christ to so many right wingers? I think it just shows his desperation. "Hey, nothing else worked, cozying up to Bushie didn't do any good, maybe I outta cozy up to the other end of the spectrum."
Honestly, an incumbant senator down 7-17 points roughly 10 days to an election equals one thing = a brand NEW senator. And I thankg GOD Pennsylvanians finally woke up to who and what Santorum is..finally! Here's hoping the rest of the country pulls to wool off of thier eyes as well.

The Congressman from my district has voted with bushie 90% of the time too. But now he is saying I voted against bushie even though it was unpopular. I wonder when that was, oh yeah, it was when he voted himself a series of automatic pay raises. He opposes raising the minimum wage but of course he gets a big raise every year. He is behind in the polls but with days to go he is pouring out the money with ads that make his opponent look naive and too liberal for Indiana. I hope the voters have had enough of this idiot. The Republican has the support of the NRA and the religous right which control most of the votes so it won't be easy.
I haven't seen this ad yet.
Right on, kick the bastard out! He is one of those neo-cons that will be defeated in the next election YEAH!
