Exorcism
To the Editor: Taxpayers are on the hook for another $1.1 trillion to pay for Washington's "Cromnibus" spending binge. The news that Senator Toomey refused to stand with senate conservatives and instead voted to fund President Obama's illegal immigrant amnesty along with Obamacare brings to mind previous betrayals. In 2004, then Senator Rick Santorum endorsed Republican-In-Name-Only Arlen Specter over a conservative insurgent. Ironically, the insurgent was Pat Toomey. While Santorum's political favor to Specter and President Bush won him plaudits from the rest of the Beltway Oligarchy, it continues to haunt his presidential ambitions. Republican primary voters have not forgiven Santorum for his words and actions a decade ago and neither should Toomey, who already offended 2nd Amendment supporters with his 2013 Toomey-Manchin gun control proposal. While Toomey basks in the praise from Obama and Harry Reid and counts his 2016 reelection campaign donations from the cheap labor lobby, he should know that Pennsylvania conservatives will remember his lack of principles.
