LMAOff...Annnnnnd the Romney supporting RINO spin machine begins.Spending is another story. The free-market advocacy group Club for Growth describes Santorum’s fiscal record as conservative early on, but “plagued by the big-spending habits that Republicans adopted during the Bush years of 2001-2006.”
Data from the National Taxpayers Union shows that Santorum ranked in the top third among Senate Republicans for highest amount of proposed funding increases during the 107th Congress. He sponsored legislation to raise federal spending by a net $27 billion during that period, from January 2001 to January 2003.
Santorum’s record on fiscal policy (Fact Checker biography) - The Washington Post
He supported steel tariffs in Pennsylvania, which did him little good in his own re-election effort.
He supported No Child Left Behind.
He supported the prescription drug benefit.
He supported the Bridge to Nowhere. In fact, according to Club for Growth, “Santorum had the audacity to vote to continue funding the Bridge to Nowhere rather than send the money to rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.”

You MIGHT want to ask what the 27 Billion in increased spending was for...OR maybe you don't!
See...there was this little "thing" that happened in 2001. You may have heard of it, 9/!!? But the thing is, that was AFTER the dot com bubble crash left to Bush by Clinton. UNLIKE Cruise missiles that he did NOT leave Bush because had shot all but 11 at baby aspirin factories and left office with our military RAPED!
I'll tell ya what here is a link.
Bills Sponsored and Co-Sponsored by Rick Santorum
It list all the bills that Santorum sponsored and co-sponsored. It covers the Congresses that the RINO machine CLAIMS makes him an evil SOB. Have a look at the bills for your self. I'll tell you this, in the 107th congress that the MORONS at the Washington Post attack him on, the LAST bill he sponsored was titled A bill to protect infants who are born alive...YEP, and evil son of a bitch!
But he introduced other evil shit too. Stuff like removing price supports for sugar. Damn guy actually wants to reduce the size of government! FOOL!
Then there was the one that would allow Medicaid to pay for seniors to be kept at home by family and in day care when the family wasn't home...just like our kids and INSTEAD of an old folks home 24/7. Yep, evil SOB actually wanted of let our seniors have a little dignity. BASTARD!
And here is something that just kills me. Of the 55 bills he sponsored, 1/5 of them were to suspend government duties on DRUGS! Can you believe it. He wanted to stop taxing drugs that were being used to treat cancer, diabetes and all manner of things...just to reduce the cost of treatment and lower health care cost. Now WHAT was that dumb son of a bitch thinking?
SOMEbody better buy a CLUE!!!
And I'm thinking it ain't Rick!
By the way, the prescription drug program WORKED in it's original form. And it worked because it was a free market solution, run by private enterprise!
The program kept millions of Americans from going SLAP BROKE paying for brand drugs, cut the price of nearly ALL drugs by more than 40% and saved millions of lives. So you can blow that!
