Rick Santorum

Rick Santorum

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 schools 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

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.
