This gives my heart joy but please dont stop spreading the truth about this guy everywhere. Hes campaigning like crazy.
I knew he was named "most corrupt in Congress" but I didnt know that he was involved with the K Street Project.
Santorum actively campaigned for pro-choice candidates Arlen Specter and Governor Christie Whitman, who vetoed a bill banning partial birth abortions.
Arlen Specter, who switched from Repub to Dem, gave Obama the
key Senate vote to pass Obamacare.

In late 2000, Santorum wrote an op-ed encouraging more home ownership, particularly for low-income families, with the help of government assistance, whether it was through the Federal Housing Administration, or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

As a candidate for the Senate in 1994, Santorum filled out a questionnaire in which he indicated that he wanted “national standards” from the federal government and he didn’t support eliminating the Department of Education. Santorum also supported No Child Left Behind in 2001, which greatly expanded Washington’s control over education.
But in a 2011 interview, he flip-flopped saying “well, the Department of Education is, in my opinion, unnecessary and overseeing a state bureaucracy which is already a big problem.
