This is just another red flag. His track record is awful...based on his track record alone I will note be voting for him in the primaries or for anything in 2012.

He claims to be a conservative, but his record in the congress clearly shows that he voted with the Democrat liberals many times. He favors big government social programs, supports unions, wants to raise taxes, increase the debt limit, and wants gun control. I know of no conservative that has those values.

They were correct in there voting. This seals the deal for my family and I. 6 votes for Dr. Ron Paul, whom will end this false contrived wars ,unlike war monger santorum, Dr. paul has a record unmatched both in private and public service.Please take the time too sift though the facts and vote for peace and justice . Only Paul has a plan too reduce spending , anyone not voting for Paul has not done there homework and a uneducated vote shall mean, more of the same unethical sinfull ways of this out of control goverment, God Bless Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:51:28 +0000http://americanvisionnews.com/1948/santorums-vote-to-fund-planned-parenthood-indefensible#IDComment299327724 http://americanvisionnews.com/1948/santorums-vote-to-fund-planned-parenthood-indefensible#IDComment299268777Santorum is the most bat-shit crazy politician I have ever seen - literally with no exaggeration! Go check out youtube and all his speeches... open brags about murdering foreign scientists (as a scientist myself it's scary that their wife and kids now have no father).... he constantly talks about going to war with Iran (like the entire country is radical and we've done nothing to provoke them - 45 bases surrounding their county along with economic sanctions)... Russia and China have already said they'd defend Iran so essentially Santorum wants to start WW3.... he says bizarre slippery slopes like a gay lifestyle servers as a gateway to other things like beastiality and pedophilia.... he thinks anyone with different views then him is Satan. These are words straight from his mouth. This guy is beyond scary and dangerous and the closest thing to a control freak ego maniac I've ever seen. As a side note - Ron Paul supporters, if Paul is not the nominee, will either write in Paul or vote for Obama... guaranteeing the GOP nominee will lose. Personally, I'll vote for Obama because I'd prefer 4 more years of Obama over potentially 8 years of Frothy, Mitt or Newt. So there you have it GOP... it's either nominate Paul or else we will hand the election to Obama.

I guess Santorum did.

Santorum was elected as a United States Senator for Pennsylvania in 1994 and served there until losing re-election to the position in 2006. ... TITLE X....rev. 1970..... .``SEC. 1008. PROHIBITION OF ABORTION. ``None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.´´ ABORTION WAS AGAINST THE LAW UNDER TITLE X WHILE SANTORUM WAS A SENATOR......how has he flip flopped??

If you can pause a moment to look at the BIG picture you would see that all this negative media attention and mud slinging is a devious ploy by the mainstream media to get Obama re-elected. From the looks of it most of these so called Conservative news sources are on the same page with the Liberal mainstream. Read and think then look at the big picture. What do you want for the future? freedom or the alternative. Dont let the media make your choices for you.

I'm not defending Santorum (even though I think he's the best choice of the 4 candidates) but if you can take one small portion of a bill and use it against someone that voted for the total bill then there's a problem with ALL politicians. The problem is the ability to throw in anything you want into a bill... bills of different topics should be voted on separately, not bundled together!

It would be better if they didn't justify a man but argued their beliefs. Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:32:15 +0000http://americanvisionnews.com/1948/santorums-vote-to-fund-planned-parenthood-indefensible#IDComment299107963 http://americanvisionnews.com/1948/santorums-vote-to-fund-planned-parenthood-indefensible#IDComment299089118 Santorum is only "pro-life" for babies. But, what about when the babies grow up and become men and women who serve in the army? He doesn't seem to care if he attacks Iran; it is only a question of when for him. Yet that is not preserving life; that is not being pro-life! What about the civilians who will be killed/murdered because of his decision to invade a country we have no business being in? Not to mention the fact that war causes famine; then what will happen to all of the young people and babies growing up in a war torn land? To be pro-life is more than just being concerned about whether a baby lives or dies in the womb; it is also about what happens to that baby when he/she becomes a man/woman. Pro-life stands for LIFE, whether it is a baby or a grown man or woman. Santorum is not pro-life in the truest sense of the word. Let us pray that God changes his heart and he understands that God is concerned with both the unborn and the old; indeed with all of mankind.

It's an overly simplistic assessment of a complicated, sometimes "no-win", process. My question is - what is Joel McDurmon's motivation for attempting to sensationalize and smear a candidate? This kind of mis-representation will inevitably lead to a loss of credibility. Report the facts, all the facts, and leave it to the citizen to arrive at their own conclusion.

If you have payed any attention to the way our politicians wheel and deal you know there is so much crooked arm twisting that goes on that a politician cannot remain pure to their ideals, if they want to accomplish anything at all. This is dishonest on the face of it because of those facts.

This is one way of getting things passed that normally would NOT have gotten passed by HONEST means. I think this is a ploy to make santorum look bad and a lot of people here have taken the bait! Too bad because Santorum might be our only chance to get a bunch of this crap obama passed repealed! romney isn\'t gonna do it and I\'m not so sure that newt would either! Better wake up and see things for what they are...NOT how the left wants you to see them!

Does a man not have the option of changing his mind? Santorum--with perhaps this ONE exception--has been consistently pro-life throughout his political career as far as I can tell. Let's look at the WHOLE candidate, not just one isolated incident.

But there was a time in my life when I thought there was nothing wrong with abortion. I could never run for office because you would accuse me of being pro-abortion.

They suffer from severe myopia! Seriously, why would conservatives stoop to the sophomoric and dishonest tactics of the American left? Twisting words and taking quotes out of context do not represent serious political discourse. Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:18:51 +0000http://americanvisionnews.com/1948/santorums-vote-to-fund-planned-parenthood-indefensible#IDComment299032399 http://americanvisionnews.com/1948/santorums-vote-to-fund-planned-parenthood-indefensible#IDComment299031441I am certain that if anyone bothered to take the time to look at the REST of Rick Santorum's record regarding life issues, you would find a man who is indeed consistent in his belief system. Those Title X funds cover more than Planned Parenthood and abortion, which may be what he was looking at when he voted to support preserving the funds. Everything else in Santorum's record is absolutely consistently pro-life, over the course of his sixteen year record in the Senate. In addition to that, he not only professes his beliefs in the public square, but he LIVES them. Most disabled babies are aborted today. He knew his youngest was going to enter the world with challenges, yet refused to follow the common dictate to abort and is now blessed with precious little Bella. How many of your pro-life candidates running can say THAT? I really wish that people would stop all the attempts at destroying the one good conservative we have left in the race. Get with Rush Limbaugh and support RICK SANTORUM FOR PRESIDENT in 2012!

So the bills are not "clean". Santorum may have voted for apple pie and some senator had attached a vote for crabgrass, and another attached something else, and on and on. I don't give much weight to that stuff.

Isn't this yet another political lie and deception by a professional POLITICIAN?

He is continually professing a 'Works Based' religion and not ever understanding that it's ALL by Grace. It was Jesus that died and Paid for Our Sins, not our works of righteousness but by HIS Mercy.
