Nobody home. Santorum tries to cover his tracks on residency.

Edited on Fri May-26-06 09:01 AM by Metta

Friday, May 26, 2006 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Before every election, the Post-Gazette routinely sends letters to the candidates seeking material for the Voters Guide. Back in March, as part of that process for the primary, the newspaper sent a letter to Rick Santorum at his home address, at least the one that he claims. Back from Penn Hills came the letter with a sticker from the U.S. Postal Service checked as "Not Deliverable As Addressed -- Unable To Forward."

That is all you need to know about the nasty dispute between the Republican Sen. Santorum and his Democratic opponent, Bob Casey Jr., in the November election. The whole thing is rooted in one inconvenient fact for Sen. Santorum: He doesn't live here anymore.

1. The liberal USPS at work I guess.

Tresspassing on private property to deliver the mail.

It's a conspiracy.

5. It's pretty bad when your (former) hometown newspaper treats you

like this. He's been getting this treatment from Philly papers for a long time.

Here's to his retirement come November - :toast:

6. If anyone deserves the parting glass, Santorum does.

I'd hoist one in celebration.

7. Over a year ago, the P-G called it the issue a "festering sore"

Edited on Fri May-26-06 04:21 PM by corporatemedia

and said in an editorial that the Santorum family "live in Virginia."

http://santorumcybergate.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_santorumcybergate_archive.html

What's new and GREAT is that the P-G is finally calling him what he is

COWARD!

"...So what we have is the senator making untrue and outrageous comments while seeking to hide behind his wife and kids in order to get around an inconvenient fact.

We have a feeling that those who do live here may have something to say about this cowardly tactic at the November polls."

We wrote this about the COWARD last July -
IT TAKES A COWARD -
to hide behind your children
