<p>MadisonUW: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Rick Santorum.jpg|right|thumb|Rick Santorum]]<br /> '''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 &quot;Santorum Amendment&quot; to the No Child Left Behind Act sought (albeit unsuccessfully) to support the teaching of [[intelligent design]] in [[public school]]s as a legitimate scientific thSteory. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Currently Senator Santorum is on a lecture circuit decrying the dangers of terrorism and pointing out the obvious flaws of President Barack Hussein Obama's policy of negotiation with rogue states such as Libya or Iran.<br /> <br /> ==Liberal Obsession with Santorum==<br /> <br /> [[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. Rather than dispute the analogy, liberals were quick to [[liberal tricks|feign offense]]. They argued that because the other kinds of conduct are so universally repulsive, pointing out the parallels with [[homosexual act]]s and homosexual marriage unduly disparages homosexuals. But they knew the ugly truth -- that homosexuality is just one step away on the slippery slope towards many other disgustingly immoral proclivities. Since they had no legitimate arguments, they could only resort to [[liberal namecalling]] and personal attacks.<br /> <br /> ==Attempted Re-Appointment==<br /> <br /> In response to Sen. [[Arlen Specter]]'s party switch from Republican to Democrat, e Pennsylvania state Rep. Barbara Heyward (R-State College) introduced a bill to recall Sen. Specter and force the Legislature to re-appoint Santorum to his vacant seat. Tragically, it was defeated.<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT: Santorum, Rick}}<br /> [[Category:Former United States Senators]]<br /> [[Category:Republican Party]]</div>
