A [[cult]]-like movement among [[liberals]], and particularly vile [[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 stop public schools from presenting the [[theory of evolution]] in a dogmatic way.

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