HOT: Santorum Named "Most Corrupt" Senator by Watchdog Group in 2006

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) issued a report in 2006 entitled "Beyond DeLay: The 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress (and five to watch)." From their site: "This encyclopedic report on corruption in the 109th Congress documents the egregious, unethical and possibly illegal activities of the most tainted members of Congress."

Santorum was one of only three senators named in the report.

This is so awful.

For someone who is a proclaimed Christian and family man, Santorum making this list is a shame and disgrace to my Christian faith. Wish he practices what he preaches. I guess when someone sounds too good to be true, they are too good to be true.

This is just the tip of the iceburg

Needs to go

Good post.

Amazing

Number 2 search result on google just now is this thread. Yea their site might be melting hehe.

Well...

Well this thread sures beats what usually comes up when people try to Google Santorum lol.

I noticed that. There's

I noticed that. There's other sites like that too. It's because Santorum is such a bad candidate, he has almost no support to put into google, so articles about him go up to the top quick.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Let's get this info out

You know what to do people; let's get cracking and get this posted in the comments sections for every major news story related to Santorum. Get it on Facebook, get it on Twitter.

24 hours is a LONG time. We can still accomplish A LOT.

And if you're not phoning from home, START.

I just commented

on an article at pp about him saying he would bomb Iran.

Saddle up !!

We ride !!

Where's the "ever prying-all knowing" media on this?

Not to worry, Santorum is just a tool to keep Iowans off balance. He's cutting into Mitt more than anyone. One thing Ron Paul supporters can take comfort in, is that our support is quiet settled in on our man! Let the others figet. Ron Paul will pick up his share of these unsettled people. Let's all send this article to every news outlet we're in contact with......I'm sending to Drudge.

Campaign needs to get this info

To those who are going to caucus. When a Santorum supporter stands up lobby for him this will shut things down quick. Most people are not aware of this information and most will be taken aback.

One problem with corrupt candidates is risk of being blackmailed

They are then very susceptible to having one piece or another of hidden dirty laundry being outed, and this limits their ability to act independently.

Thats a fact!

Thats why J. Edgar Hoover stayed in charge of the FBI his whole life. He had files on all the politicians

I knew back ....

when Santorum announced he was running for Prez , that our whole system is rigged with fraud . Here's a guy who supported that Traitor and former Senator - DC boys club member - Arlen Specter . I doubt this guy personally made the choice to run for Prez himself . I'm sure there was a "sitdown" with other corrupt Politicians when the decision was made .

Both Gingrich and Santorum is

Both Gingrich and Santorum is being supported by Scaife, who is from Pennsylvania like Santorum.

Scaife owns Newsmax, who was paying for the last minute Gingrich ads. Scaife has his own underhanded tricks spy network, and scandals, which includes a man dead of a gunshot wound outside his office doors, who was investigating Scaife and previously was military intelligence while still in the service.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Santorum, used

$100,000 of PA state funds earmarked for that state's school children to educate his own children, who were not residents of Pennsylvania. source (http://www.postgazette.com/pg/04323/413787.stm)

Feb 2006

Washington, DC – Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee alleging that Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) violated the Senate Gift Rule by accepting a mortgage from The Philadelphia Trust Company, a bank that serves affluent clients.

Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director, stated “the public has the right to expect that Senators – just like everybody else – will follow the rules. Sen. Santorum’s decision to accept a loan not available to other people in his financial position demonstrates his contempt for the rules. This is particularly ironic given that Sen. Santorum has long attempted to position himself as the poster child for public morality.”
