'''Rick Santorum''' served as [[United States]] [[Senator]] from [[Pennsylvania]] from January, 1995 through January, 2007.  During that time, Santorum was known for his [[conservative]] political views.  A cult-like movement among [[liberals]], and particularly [[homosexual]] activists, vilified Santorum for his forthright and truthful statements.  In the Senate, Santorum stood for traditional values, and fought for [[traditional marriage]].  His "Santorum Amendment" to the No Child Left Behind Act sought (albeit unsuccessfully) to support the teaching of [[intelligent design]] in [[public school]]s as a legitimate scientific theory.

In 2006 [[Bob Casey, Jr.]], the [[pro-life]] son of a popular former Pennsylvania governor, defeated Santorum as part of a [[Democratic]] sweep in that election.  Casey subsequently endorsed [[Barack Obama]] for president in 2008.

==Liberal Obsession with Santorum==

==Liberal Obsession with Santorum==

[[Liberals]] became obsessed with Santorum, particularly after he stood up for traditional marriage and drew an analogy between support for [[homosexual]] marriage and other illegal forms of marriage and conduct. Rather than dispute the analogy, liberals were quick to [[liberal tricks|feign offense]]. They argued that because the other kinds of conduct are so universally repulsive, pointing out the parallels with homosexual acts and homosexual marriage unduly disparages homosexuals. But they knew the ugly truth -- that homosexuality is just one step away on the slippery slope towards many other disgustingly immoral proclivities. Since they had no legitimate arguments, they could only resort to [[liberal namecalling]] and personal attacks.
