Whispers
Senator Rick Santorum - a man renown and reviled for his stance on family issues - not only supported but also campaigned for pro-abort Arlen Specter in both the general and primaries this year.
Why did Santorum give more than tacit support to Specter when he diametrically opposes many of Arlen's policies?
Some said that Specter endorsed Santorum when he was up for re-election and thus Rick was obligated to do the same thing. That answer seems unsatisfactory and shallow given that Santorum has demonstrated his unwillingness to bend on these most important issues in the past, even for his own gain.

Other theories say that Santorum wants power and has his eye on the presidency. The theory goes that Rick endorsed Specter to prevent another articulate, dynamic conservative like Patrick Toomey from saturating the market. Before the elections, Santorum had been seen as the favored son of the social Right -- the man who would confront the darkness of DC with all the moral indignation he could muster (and for Rick, that’s a lot). Toomey’s entrance into the Senate would strip Santorum of being “the up and coming bright conservative” from Pennsylvania, for Toomey is far brighter, thoughtful and well versed on the issues. (Toomey has a backbone, I might add too, unlike Santorum.)
But Santorum’s endorsement in the primary and general wasn’t enough. He worked behind the scenes to ensure that Arlen Specter was given the highly coveted chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee, despite the thousands of phone calls his office received indicating that they prefer “anyone to Arlen.”
That’s three betrayals.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Rick sold out his old pro-life constituency not one or two, but three times all within the course of nine months.
And then he came to Alaska and did it again.
At this point, the best of the pundits could not call the Senate race in Alaska. The RNC was worried and sent Rick to persuade the Alaska Right to Life to endorse Lisa Murkowski, the nominal Republican.
Rick Santorum flew to Anchorage and eloquently defended his pro-life record, which was unblemished before the Specter endorsements. By inference, the Alaska Right to Life was supposed to endorse Lisa “Women Have a Right to an Abortion” Murkowski because Ricky loves loves loves babies.My hero and the man who turned me onto politics as a precocious eight-year-old girl told Santorum over a conference call, “Senator, we don’t care about your record. This is about Lisa, not you.”
The Senator began to defend his record again.
My friend said, “Sir, what about Toomey? If you had not interfered in that race, Pat Toomey would have been elected.”Santorum went ballistic.
