Pick Up Your Feet

I'm originally from Pennsylvania, but today I am glad that I don't have to take credit for having Rick Santorum as one of the TWO senators representing me. I have found Rick Santorum to be lacking in basic ethics before...his harangue against malpractice lawsuits AFTER suing and winning a staggering judgment on his wife's behalf pops into my mind...his harangue about the quality of life of one Terry Schivo whom he, just like Dr, Senator Bill Frist, had never met, examined, or had access to her medical records...but yesterday's proclamation by Rick Santorum is without as doubt the worst.

Rick Santorum has not served in the military, but he is in a war to save his political carcass, so it's O.K. to boldly lie about finding the WMDs that allegedly was the reason for us invading Iraq. (Hasn't Rickie heard...Bush's most recent excuse for this debacle of a war is NOT WMDS, but for the LIBERATION OF THE IRAQI PEOPLES FROM A VICIOUS DICTATOR)

Never mind that the weapons...degraded mustard gas that would give Rickie such a burn on his lying lips if he ever got close enough to check out his statement...never mind that if this "find" was significant enough to warrant publicity would have already been broadcasted via the loudest megaphone or tin can phone system the smirking President could access...never mind that we have heard it all before...(remember those traveling labs that we saw plastered across our screens in the very early days of the LIBERATION?)

Rickie fights from the comfort of his wealth and prestige but feels no compunction about telling the truth. Meanwhile 2,500 men and women have died fighting a REAL war so he can claim success not based on the reality of their sacrifices, but on LIES to boost HIS political popularity!

SHAME ON YOU RICK SANTORUM. I am GLAD that I do not have to bare the weight of having placed my trust in you to represent me. You are a smarmy little weasel who thinks it is O.K. to lie so you can win your fight for political power, while gaining that power on the lives of our courageous and HONORABLE military.

To Rickie, and to ALL politicians I say SHAME on ALL of you for the lies. How do any of you manage to sleep at night when you haven't got even a passing acquaintance with truth and honor?
