This is Santorum's response to Casey's charges of not questioning Bush on the
war:
Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's office acknowledged yesterday that it cannot locate public statements of the senator questioning the Iraq war, despite the senator's claim last week that he has publicly expressed his concerns.
But Santorum said that doesn't mean he hasn't made the comments.
More below the break..
Robert L. Traynham, Santorum's spokesman, said a search of Nexis, a news database, and the office's press clippings had not turned up any account of those comments. He noted, however, that the office's records are incomplete because the office is unable to record everything the senator says.
Now, is this really possible in this day and age with the internet, streaming video, blogs, etc?? Can any one say anything in public, especially critical remarks of a GOP president from a Republican, and that not make the news?
Next Santorum says:
His reluctance to publicly question Bush has more to do with Santorum's style than his priorities, Santorum aides say. He prefers taking a longer view, and if the war looks grim for several weeks, Santorum won't suddenly protest, Traynham said.
So, Santorum did make critical remarks which he cant find, but he didnt, because it's not his style. Yeah, that makes sense.
