Dean blasts Santorum at Philadelphia fund-raiser

By Frederick Cusick

SNIP..."Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean ripped into U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum at a party fund-raiser in Old City tonight.

Dean, a former Vermont governor and former Democratic presidential candidate, called Santorum, a Republican who is up for reelection in Pennsylvania in 2006, a "liar" and "right-winger" who actually lives in Virginia.

"He doesn't tell the truth," Dean told a gathering of about 150 at Bluezette on Market Street.

Dean said Santorum had voted to kill Amtrak, an important service in Pennsylvania, and had then turned around and written a piece for The Inquirer saying he supported Amtrak.

He said that Santorum should return the more than $100,000 that Santorum's declared home school district, the Penn Hills School District in Allegheny County, paid over the last few years to educate his children at the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School...."

1. I don't have a subscription but I'm sure this is choice.

Howard is quite right; Santorum should pay this back. I wondered why he got a "pass" after this was uncovered. Why should he/his children get special consideration when they are not legal residents of the state? He should have enrolled his children in Virginia.

2. Here is more about that.

SNIP.."While attending the school online, Santorum's children actually lived at his house in the Virginia suburbs of Washington. The charter school and the Penn Hills district are in a dispute over payments for Santorum's children. Santorum has maintained that he has followed the law.

Dean joked that Santorum should "stay in Virginia," although he added that the senator was "too much of a right-winger for Virginia. How about Venezuela?"

5. Goddamn!

:applause:

Please be paying attention, Pennsylvanians!

7. Dean really knows how to frame the debate.

He told Pennsylvanians that they have a LIAR and a CHEAT for a Senator, while at the same time saying that Virginians are more blue than red, and therefore should reject Santorum too!

Gotta love it.

10. Yes, that was excellent.

4. "He doesn't tell the truth."

Whoa! Them's fightin' words. Come on out with your dukes up, dog-man Rick.

6. I'm upset that I didn't go to see him

The news clip CBS had on went something like "If you're going call yourself a conservative, then be a conconservative." This was the ending quote, "I wouldn't trust Rick Santorum with my money and here's why.."

This race is going to fun to watch. Rick has provided so many opportunities that can be used against him. I can't wait to see that crap eating grin wiped off his face. (Please God let it happen !!).
