Who's Attacking Casey? Santorum's Kids!

GOP Senator Rick Santorum has enlisted some new surrogates to attack his Dem challenger Bob Casey in a new TV ad: Santorum's own kids. In the ad, titled "Important Job," Santorum's children respond to Casey's recent criticism that their dad lives out of state while the kids attend a Pennsylvania public school over the internet. Johnny and Daniel Santorum gripe that Casey criticized "us" for moving to D.C so "he could spend more time with us." Elizabeth Santorum explains that Dad votes 40 weeks a year. But all the kids agree that Rick’s most important job is still "being our dad."

This is of course in relation to the scam that Ricky tried to pull on the taxpayers of Pennsylvania and the school district of Penn Hills, PA - which is not a rich district - of having them pay for his kids living in Virgina attend a cyber school and be paid for by the taxpayers of PA and Penn Hills. Law in PA is that your primary residence must be in the school district to qualify for district to pay for cyber schooling. Santorum reluctantly admitted on MTP at most he spends 30 days a year at the Penn Hills residence. And the dirty secret until he was caught was the Santorum's would actually spend it at the grandparent's house since they were renting out the shack they were claiming as their PA abode.

4. To say the least
These kids, if they aren't already, are gonna grow up to be some fucked up adults thanks to this spineless son of a bitch. From the moment they were playing with the dead fetus that was to be their brother, they had zero chance of retaining a semblance of normalcy. I wonder how many staunch Conservative parents are brainwashing their kids as we speak.

3. these chicken-shit, chicken hawks
don't fight anything! chucklenuts sends pickles or his mommy when things are really bad...not so much his mommy since her 'it's working rather well for them' remark. So now we get ricky tossing his kids in the mix; last week, here in SoCal, Military Families Speak Out visited dana warbacker @ his rented home in Huntington Beach. He stormed out of his sister-in-law's house, shouting they had awakened the 'babies'. The 'babies' are 2 year old toddlers. Lame ass rethuglicans!
