Santorum steps up the lie campaign
I've been meaning to blog about Pennsylvania's junior Senator, Rick Santorum, for some time, but I haven't had the time to get to it. Recently, while on one of my favorite Websites, YouTube, I came across a number of interesting video clips that I will share with you in a minute.
I watch with glee how Santorum is becoming increasingly desperate in the race, a race in which he's never gained traction vs. Bob Casey Jr. The only troubling thing I see about this race is the fact that Casey doesn't seem to want to debate Santorum. I'm no political strategist, but I wonder if that's smart. And, maybe it is - I remember the '04 campaign when Bush refused to debate Kerry; he was ahead in the polls, so why risk it? Besides, Bush is such a bumbling idiot, any debate is reason for concern.
Yes, Casey is sitting on a lead, but I sure as hell hope he doesn't get too complacent. He shouldn't be missing any opportunity to get on TV to blast the shit out of Santorum with both barrels.
Santorum is now clinging to one issue he thinks he can get a little traction with - immigration. You're dreaming, senator. You've voted with Bush 98% of the time, and you can't run from your record now.
Here's a quick roundup of vid clips about the Senatorial race:
The one big advantage that Santorum has over Casey is money. Slick Rick's got a lot of it, and that means a lot of money to distort, slander and lie. The investigation above is probably the best example. Wow, and I thought local TV journalism was dead. This is pretty impressive in its damning of Santorum for this blatantly deceptive piece of shit that ran on local TV a great deal last month. Again, it's another age-old political trick - put the lie out there, and even when it's discovered, the damage will have been done and it will be worth the heat. Some of us are smarter than you, Rick, and your buddy Karl Rove.
I'm no big fan of Don Imus, but I love how he takes it to Santorum in this clip. The lying Senator was asked to comment on Woodward's new book, State of Denial, and he starts babbling about some book he wrote. Imus didn't take to it too kindly, and Rick backpeddles quicker than Joe Montana. I love it.
In an older clip from the Imus show, Santorum is busted and call out by Imus' wife for asking her to write a favorable op-ed piece for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Then, Rick digresses and resorts to the hackneyed witticism of complaining about the media coverage in Pennsylvania. He's got so much more money than Casey, so hearing him complain about the media is a riot. Backfire!
This short clip is of former President George H.W. Bush, talking about how scary it will be if the Democrats regain control of part or all of Congress. Again, pretty ballsy, Mr. President. Just a quick question, though. Have you ever heard of something called Checks and Balances (or Separation of Powers)? It's a principle that this country was founded upon. Yea, it would be just horrible and ghastly if this administration were investigated - after all, that hasn't taken place since W the rube took office. Oh, and contrary to belief in some GOP circles, 9-11 never has been rightfully investigated, either. Hey Bush 41 - take your war profiteering, Saudi-loving ass, along with your prune of a wife, back to Kennebunkport and wither away. Your one-term, Iran-Contra ass ceased being relevant long ago.
Those are tough words to write, because I've always respected Bush Sr., but he impugns his integrity with short-sighted comments like these.
Go Casey, go, and hit back at this asshole. You must win this race, and readers, if you live in Pa., you must go and vote. And don't let your Pro-Life stance sway you to Rick either, GOPers. Casey has Pro Life credentials that not only match but exceed Santorum's.
