Santorum Swings Both Ways

Speaking of politicians whose personal family decisions happen to conflict with their political demagoguing on health care issues, Josh Marshall brings our attention to Sen. Rick Santorum’s (R-PA) medical malpractice hypocrisy. In 1996, Santorum testified on behalf of his wife Karen, who was seeking $500,000 in pain and suffering against Dr. David Dolberg of Virginia, because of pain from his 1996 chiropractic treatment of her.

Funny, that didn’t stop Santorum from supporting and voting for a bill in 2003 that would have capped awards for pain and suffering at $250,000.

4. You know, if he had a chiropractor from his "home" state...

..of Pennsylvania.... :eyes:

I have a feeling we'll get Santorum out in 2006 but Rickie will probably run again in his home state of Virginia when John Warner retires

5. Please, God, NO!!

I was born in Virginia and have lived here for most of my life; but I don't think I can handle being represented by George Allen AND pRick Sphinctorum.
