Rick Santorum took his fight for Bush's destruction of Social Security to PA's editorial pages today. If anyone has listened to the Majority Report in recent weeks, you've surely heard by now Santorum-supporters chanting "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Social Security has got to go".

Now, here it is from the horse's mouth (my apologies to horses):

As I traveled across the Keystone State, I listened to the comments from hundreds of Pennsylvanians and made several observations.
First, it was evident that some individuals are using the current debate about the future of Social Security as an opportunity to mislead the American people. Unfortunately, some seniors are told that under reform proposals, their Social Security benefits would change.

Just who is using the current debate about the future of SS as an opportunity to mislead the American people? Wouldn't be Mr. Santorum himself would it?; or Bush?;

Anyone familiar with northwest Pennsylvania knows this is the birthplace of the American oil industry. Unfortunately, this legacy has resulted in degraded watersheds and fragmented forests, on public and private land. For instance, the Allegheny National Forest contains more oil and gas wells than all other national forests in the country combined.

But I never expected that drug money was involved as reported this morning by the New York Times.

Interestingly enough, the Department of Homeland Security has taken over the wells and will auction off the mineral rights to the highest bidder. The best thing to do would be to allow the Forest Service to take ownership of the mineral rights to prevent further oil drilling in the Allegheny National Forest.

It's hard to imagine, but some "Christian" groups are actually suggesting that Santorum wants to run for the top slot.

However, the crux of the article is about Santorum taking up the fight against Specter being the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. If Santorum does this, he will lose in '06. Read More
