Silly Santorum

Rick Santorum is the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania who raises questions in the eyes of the public as to whether he is truly the social issues activist he claims to be or a partner of corporate America who is interested in money-making. He was one of the fighters who fought to keep Terry Schiavo alive, and he was at the "media scrum" in Tampa near the hospice where she had been located during her final days and made a visit to pay his respects to the family. However, eyebrows were raised when questioning why he was in Tampa in the first place. Allegedly, he was at a fund raising lunch with one of his corporate benefactors, Outback Steakhouses and apparently flew in on another corporate donor's jet- everybody's favorite corporation- Wal-Mart.

I believe it's hard to pull off a scheme such as he has, especially when he has claimed to be fighting for homosexual and abortion rights, which don't necessary go hand in hand with conservative corporations. Looks like he has got himself in a bind that will be hard to crawl out of.
