Casey or Santorum in Pennsylvania

Senate candidates Casey and Santorum are both anti-abortion. Casey is immediately suspect because of his affiliation with a rabid pro-abortion national organization, the Democratic Party. But just as the Republican Party is perfectly comfortable supporting pro-abortion senators, congressmen and governors, the Democrats are trying to appear more tolerant in the Pennsylvania race. The argument about party affiliation is a wash. If a pro-abortion Republican is a negative then it must be admitted that a pro-life Democrat is a positive.

The real difference between Santorum and Casey is Santorum’s ignorance of the plight of working people in America and his unconditional support for Bush’s publicly stated policy that if we think another country might attack us we have the right to kill them.

Santorum endorsed and strongly supported the recent change in the Federal bankruptcy law. The poor credit card sharks were being cheated! The companies ( and not poor people) that borrow their cash from the Federal Reserve at 4 or 5 percent and the minute you miss a payment charge 25 to 29 percent!

I’m voting for Casey and praying he makes a difference. I hope the pro-unjust war policy and pro-robber baron Republicans can learn a lesson.
