Rick Santorum Scares Me! Oh, and Happy Halloween

Election day is one week away. Pennsylvanians should be excited by the possibility that Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum has a good chance of losing his Senate seat (the worry is he will reemerge in 2008 as a VP candidate).

In any case I want to alert you to two websites full of good reasons to not vote for Rick. First of all, Project Vote Smart, which is a bi-partisan non-profit agency devoted to researching the canddiates and providing in-depth information for voters (read more here). In any case, Rick-the Prick-Santorum refuses to answers to Project Vote Smart's surveys, and hence is depriving citizens of full information about his positions and votes. I guess he wants to rest on his jack ass T.V. ads, rather than give thoughtful, measured defenses of his voting record and accomplishments.



Do contact Project Vote Smart to get Santorum to "pass the National Political Awareness Test!"

Secondly, I want to alert all readers--liberal and moderate alike--to take a look at this website, "The Haunting of Rick Santorum." Here you can read Rick's own words on issues such as birth control, equal pay, and on women with careers.

Since Ricky won't pass the political awareness test at Project Vote Smart, PPPA sponsored a website to help fill in the gaps. I particularly like his response to "privacy."

On Privacy: "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."

I swear this man has an unhealthy preoccupation with perverse sex. What's up with that?

Happy Halloween MMF readers!
