'''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 act]]s 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.
