Rick Santorum: Consistently Pro-Lie

Part 1 of “Pro-Life or Pro-Lie” caught Rick Santorum attending, applauding and endorsing Arlen Specter as he trashed the Pro-Life movement and religious conservatives.

Part 2 uses Rick Santorum’s OWN words, those of his family and previous campaign to demonstrate a continued pattern of habitual lying begun in NUTSS for Santorum Part 1.  (Sources linked below.)

This video doesn’t include the testimony of a former congressman who claims he had knowledge that Santorum campaigners were told to hide their pro-life symbols when canvassing in 1990.

Social conservatives have bought plug nickel made direct from the cow patties of Pennsylvania.  Worse, the major Pro-Life leaders sell out their integrity by not only not acknowledging these lapses, but outright hiding them and perpetuating campaign lies to protect “their” chosen candidate.  We should have known groups like NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE were no longer reliable when they endorsed Mitt Romney in 2008.

Rick Santorum STILL has a pretty good pro-life record on actual votes.  But the continued deception used to cover over the “non-votes” and the errant missteps tells us that he can’t be fully trusted.

A great many of these were already outlined in ProLife NUTSS for Santorum Part 2.

• 1990 Santorum self-proclamation of being a “progressive conservative.”
• 1990 Santorum only disavowing public funding for abortion.
• 1990 campaign literature not pushing for end to Roe vs Wade.
• 1995 Santorum, “was pro-choice all my life.”
• Cousin “he’s always been pro-choice.”
• Karen’s former boyfriend remembering that Karen told him Santorum pro-choice.
• Had LEAST conservative voting record in 2004 of conservatives.
• Santorum statement condemning vote for ANY type of Planned Parenthood funding.
• Campaign direct quote from Santorum that “never held a pro-choice position” when confronted when 3 direct contradictions of Santorum from previous years.
• History of being a liar from 1994.
• Earned $125,000 from a federal funded organization affiliated with Planned Parenthood and would not help to stop it’s funding when approached by Pro-Life leaders.
• The Arlen Specter endorsement over Pat Toomey would NEVER have jeopardized Alito or Roberts.
• Specter denies “deal” with Santorum IMMEDIATELY when it first came up in 2010. (No record of Santorum presenting this idea for 4 years.)
• Specter WAS the 60th vote passing ObamaCare and has resulted in unborn Pennsylvania babies being killed today.
• Santorum campaigned for PRO-partial birth abortion candidate.
• Santorum chose Romney over Huckabee while Arkansas Governor was still running.
• Was only “conservative” to vote for Sotoamayor in 1997 over warnings by Rush Limbaugh, John McCain and even LifeNews.
• Told conservatives to NOT filibuster Sotomayor when nominated to the Supreme Court.

How about we nominate someone who has led the conservative battle for over 30 years, expanding conservatives in Congress and in the broader population, who balanced the federal budget 4 times with a Democrat as President and who actually kept Bob Dole and Ronald Reagan from caving on liberal pressure?
