Not at all a fan of Obama but I do know Rick Santorum for his fundamentalist sanctimony, his intrusively Orwellian nanny-statism, and his lack of perturbation for individual freedoms. By scrutinizing the deplorability of our postmodernist "progressive conservative" candidates, he is by far the most denounceable kind of the warmongering neo-conservative collectivists (RINO's) that have infiltrated (alongside the religious right) the republican party since the 1980's. Here is an retrospective illustration of his fiscal records that unveils his dissimulations and that he is quite simply a Big Government "conservative."
Quote:
*** Padding his own wallet as a corporate lobbyist at the expense of taxpayers;
*** Voting to RAISE the debt ceiling five times;
*** Voting to DOUBLE the federal Department of Education;
*** Voting with liberals like Ted Kennedy on multiple occasions in support of Big Labor’s radical agenda;
*** Urging more federal involvement in housing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;
*** Voting to create a brand new, unfunded entitlement, Medicare Part D, the largest expansion of entitlement spending since President Lyndon Johnson – creating $16 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities;
*** Endorsing liberal Big Government RINOs like Arlen Specter over conservatives. Of course, Specter later became a Democrat and worked hand-in-glove with President Obama to pass his radical agenda;
*** Voting for Sarbanes-Oxley, which imposed dramatic new job-killing accounting regulations on businesses;
*** Supporting raising taxes on oil companies, which directly costs Americans more money out of their pockets at the gas pump;

*** Voting to give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens, while voting against an additional 1,000 border patrol agents;
*** Voting to give $25 million in foreign aid to North Korea;
*** Voting to send hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest provider of abortion – and hand out hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid to enemies of Israel.
