Jack Shea, president of the Allegheny County Labor Council, which represents union workers in and around Pittsburgh, said his group fought against Santorum during his House and Senate campaigns. “We never considered Rick to be a friend of the worker, not at all,” Shea said. “The only time Rick Santorum was close to blue collar was when he was putting his shirt on.”http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/the-big-labor-skeletons-in-rick-santorums-closet-are-they-real/
From what I discovered, Santorum was living in VA while Govenor of PA and billing PA for his expenses. I think that was the ‘Straw’ that got him voted out.
@oechsleana, a few correction. Santorum was a PA Senator. In the end, he did pay and settled the PA school district taxes.
The reason he lost ’06 reelection in landslide was that he was playing the same exact religion bullshit games back then. Social issues were his main game topics of course, avoiding his own contribuitons to big Gov spending and gov expansion.
Santorum was a big looser back then, he’s the same looser now.
LOL! This’s To -Be-continued ad. Specter trashing Santourm out there.
Integrity matters, Mr principled!
Nice video.Lots of stuff on Pittsburgh Gazette site archived articles about Santorum. Good place to get the scoop on him.
There is a big reason he was voted out of office by 18 percentage points!
