Santorum’s Amnesia On Abramoff And K Street
It's amazing to me how the Republicans think they can just pretend the past didn't happen and no one will notice. Santorum is the poster boy for this kind of revisionist history that has become the norm for the Radical Republicans as they attempt to get reelected. Santorum is suddenly a "concerned" moderate trying to "reform" the Republican party. Excuse me?? What I find even more amusing is how he pretends his efforts at running the most corrupted pay-to-play Republican Congress in history is going to evaporate. Santorum worked regularly with Abramoff to make sure that the Republican legislation met the needs of the corporate campaign contributors and the radical right wing interest groups. That was his job. That's what makes the notion of Frist putting him in charge of the "reform" of that illegal structure so amusing. It's like putting the inmates in charge of the asylum. If you don't want the culture of corruption to continue then the only way to stop that is to make sure no Republican incumbent is allowed to continue to hold office. That's the only solution to the problem. More evidence of why if you're a Republican you need to get some new blood in the Senate and vote for Featherman in the primary. It's only a matter of days before Santorum is going to be knee deep in an Abramoff indictment and do you think the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania is going to appoint a Republican to replace Santorum? Show of hands, because those that raise them I'm going to start selling swamp land in Florida to after the entry. A vote for Santorum in the Primary is a defacto vote for Casey when Santorum goes to jail.
