From another article on the same subject:


KIMBERLY HEFLING; The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Sen. Rick Santorum’s charity donated about 40 percent of the $1.25 million it spent during a four-year period, well below Better Business Bureau standards – paying out the rest for overhead, including several hundred thousand dollars to campaign aides on the charity payroll.
The charity, Operation Good Neighbor, is described on its Web site as an organization promoting “compassionate conservatism” by providing grants to small nonprofit groups, many of them religious.

The Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance says charitable organizations should spend at least 65 percent of their total expenses on program activities.

Operation Good Neighbor is based at the same address as Pennsylvania Sen. Santorum’s campaign office in suburban Philadelphia, and some of the same people who have worked on his campaign are working for his charity and collecting money from it, records show.

Santorum, the No. 3 Senate Republican, is embroiled in a tough campaign against his leading Democratic opponent, state Treasurer Bob Casey.

1. Santorum's a crook and Casey should jump on the issue and stay on it.

2. I agree and Democrats in general should make this an issue for 2006.

Crooks and Liars!!

3. Virtually all republicans are crooks and, imnsho, a pretty

fair sized percentage of dems, as well. Has it always been thus?
Am I just sensitized to the massive fraud and stupidity?

Obviously, the mob mentality that exists now must be the worst in history, given the fascism that has taken hold and the refusal to face reality that has plunged the country and the world into unprecedented hate and chaos--but how much worse and is there a faster way to re-erect some form of honesty and accountability?

What a cynical season to be living in Amerika.
