Completely empty, for years. No secret to the neighbors, either.

Santorum knocks govt over schools but takes money
By ANDREW MIGA | Associated Press – Fri, Mar 2, 2012...
WASHINGTON (AP) — As he presses for the conservative votes he needs to overtake GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum is hammering away at the role state and federal governments play in running schools.

Santorum plays up how he and his wife have home-schooled their seven children and says parents should be the ones responsible for educating their kids.

Yet back when Santorum was a senator from Pennsylvania, he got a Pittsburgh-area school district to help pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition for his children to receive online schooling.

It's a bit of history that's unknown to many voters outside Pennsylvania as the Republican nomination race closes in on the 10 Super Tuesday contests next week.

5. He is the epitomy of sleaze. A sick, twisted mind lurks in there.

The biggest problem with being stupid is that one who is doesn't know it and ends up inflicting their stupidity on others. Santorum is such a person. We must keep this idiot away from the White House or he will sink this country worse than Bush II.

On my bad days, I think that so much of America supports Santorum BECAUSE OF Dan Savage's characterization - that's what they WANT to run the country.

I am going to K&R your post, though. It's very well stated.

Ayatollah Santorum minus any real religious education. A walking talking veneer of holier than thou over bigotry, fear small mindedness.

Completely devoid of critical thinking -- just critical stinking.
