Santorum admitted smoking pot in college where he first entered politics as a volunteer for late Senator John Heinz.
As a lawyer Santorum argued that wrestling was not a sport and therefore exempt from federal steroid regulations.

Six of his children were home schooled. Santorum controversially claimed education money from Pennsylvania while living out of state.
He has said that intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory.
In 2003 his views on same sex marriage saw columnist Dan Savage coin an offensive term for Santorum that dogs him to this day.
Despite touting his tough record in office the former Senator remains at the back of the primary pack.
