BiR,
Sure it does. I have had much more respect for Santorum than that. What is it about Santorum that you disagree with or don't like? He seems to be a strong pro-lifer and conservative, which is why I've admired him. Did his support for Specter bother you too?
Greetings, FTR:
Hope all is well.
With respect to Rick Santorum, where do I start?
How about the press conference that he made the laughable claim that WMD was found in Iraq?
How about this article?

From that article:
Dumb and dumber
A recent attempted smear by Sen. Rick Santorum and his reelection campaign had to have been done by someone who is dumb, or desperate, or both.
Santorum and his aides encouraged the notion that Democratic challenger Bob Casey Jr. had been endorsed by the Arab broadcast network al-Jazeera, based in Qatar. The source of this claim was an online op-ed that criticized a Santorum speech on "Islamic fascism" and urged readers to vote Democratic.
Team Santorum, and some bloggers, circulated the op-ed as evidence that a vote for Casey would be a victory for terrorists.
First off, equating al-Jazeera with terrorism is as silly as calling CNN an arm of the Republican Party. Just because you cover an organization and quote its spokesmen doesn't mean you are identical to it.
But, wait, it gets much better. The op-ed actually came from a Web site called al-Jazeerah - that's with an "h" - based in Dalton, Ga. The Georgia online operation says its goal is to promote cultural understanding.
In shopping this story around, the Santorum campaign was either careless or malicious.
Even more obnoxious was their refusal to apologize for the error. [emphasis mine]

BiR (headed to Charlotte)
