Richard John Santorum Against Statements

"No voter in Pennsylvania cares about individual votes on every single vote that comes before the Senate...They want to know whether you are going to be standing with them on very important priorities."

"We have nothing to do with it...We are not going to look in Sen. Santorum's windows, and we hope he doesn't look into ours... . He is trying to drag Bob Casey into a long-running feud."

In a response letter, Casey spokesman Larry Smar "Santorum is trying to distract from the real issues. Bob Casey had nothing to do with this. It's an outrageous and desperate attempt to change the subject."

Visit Article

"He doesn't live here. The house he's registered to vote out of, is vacant, no curtains, furniture, nothing in there."

Visit Article

"Santorum should take his deliberately untrue attack ad off the air."

Visit Article

"The people of Pennsylvania deserve to know that Bob Casey is up to the same negative, slash and trash tactics once again."

Visit Article

"This effort by operatives of the Casey campaign to challenge Rick and Karen Santorum's basic right to vote is just another example of how low the Casey campaign will go to try to win this election. These appalling tactics are an attack on not only Rick and Karen Santorum, but on the democratic process as a whole."

"This reckless statement is not only a lie, but alerts those who may want to enter the home illegally. Your despicable actions have greatly endangered our children's safety. Let us remind you that Rick is a U.S. senator and our six young children are not. You are welcome to criticize Rick's positions, but putting our children's privacy and safety at risk has certainly crossed a line we never expected."

"Santorum knows he can't run a real campaign, so he's decided to run a weird campaign with bizarre and made-up accusations. Talk about spinning out of control, Santorum has proved he'll do anything to run away from his record of voting 98 percent of the time with George Bush."

Visit Article

"My criticism was, he never spent time in the district, never owned a home in the district. My family did live in the district when I was in Congress."

Visit Article

"Sen. Santorum should stop his 10-year old charade, apologize to Doug Walgren, repay Penn Hills taxpayers, and just say that he lives in Virginia."

Visit Article

"That's what he thinks is best for his family. If he's elected to the U.S. Senate and if the situation changes, he will be open and honest about that decision. Any senator should do what they think is right for their family."

Visit Article

"It is vitally important that voters know that the baseless claims made by those associated with the Casey campaign have no absolutely no merit."

Visit Article

"A broad amnesty program for most illegal aliens...The low hurdles to citizenship this bill erects -- making illegal immigrants stand at the back of the immigration line while remaining in our country ... -- mock and demean the sacrifices of those who waited years to immigrate through our established legal channels."

Visit Article

"The house he's registered to vote out of is vacant - no curtains, furniture, nothing in there. It's been abandoned for over a month. So I feel it's my right to contest his vote."

Visit Article

"The immigration bill is not perfect, but it is a consensus bill that drew the support of Republicans and Democrats. ... If I were in the Senate, I would have voted for [it] because it is long past time to take action, and this bill contains important reforms."

Visit Article

"I find it almost unconscionable for someone running for office in the state not to recognize that and have the desire to try to do something about it for the people of this state."

"In Pennsylvania, the malpractice crisis is over."

Visit Article

"It really is kind of amusing and troubling at the same time that he would ask for it, I would grant it, he wouldn't respond, and then I would later discover that he sent letters to media asking for it before he would send it to me."

Visit Article

"Since he wouldn't let us go to the event in the spring, we didn't see the rush to get back about the next event. Bob fully intends to address the group, and we will be in contact with Mr. Hanna."

"[Casey] is convinced there is global warming,"

Visit Article

"When you look at where the votes are cast, he has not been a friend of the environment."

Visit Article

"Sen. Santorum has, maybe, not been 100 percent on all the issues. [But] he has helped take the lead in the Senate on protecting open space and protecting the Highlands."

Visit Article

"Santorum should not be congratulated for doing his job...."

Visit Article

"What I have tried to do is deliver, not just talk. The real difference between the candidates is someone who has worked hard, focused on the issues important to the people of Pennsylvania and accomplished something, as opposed to someone who will talk about controversial issues and criticize me for having a zero scorecard from the League of Conservation Voters or the Sierra Club or some other liberal environmental group."

Visit Article

"Let me be clear, this bill is no amnesty as my opponent claims."

"The fact that we're only now addressing border security in an election year is a sign of their failure and proof that we need a new direction in Washington."

Visit Article

"Sen. Santorum has spent 16 years in Washington and I am sure he has given thousands of speeches. But when it comes to the environment with Sen. Santorum, when all is said and done, there is more said than done."

Visit Article

"It certainly is a perennial issue. It certainly generates a lot of support and interest in that community. ... But it's not a hot-button issue."

Visit Article

"I think the larger point is Santorum talks about lawyers' contributions (to Mr. Casey) but it seems like Santorum has taken a good bit of that (money) himself. In addition, one of the largest contributors to him, the insurance industry, is the biggest beneficiary of the legislation he's pushing. And there's no guarantee insurance industry would pass on any of the savings to doctors ... That's the better indicator, looking at insurance industry contributions."

Visit Article

"A priority of his campaign...Bob wants to expand access to health care, he's spoken out against Medicare and Medicaid cuts to hospitals. He's developing plan on the health care issue."

Visit Article

"One of the biggest opponents to reforming the medical liability system. Casey claims that health care is his top priority, but how can he be serious about health care, when quality doctors are forced to leave our state nearly everyday and he's doing nothing about it? ... Casey Jr. is in the back pocket of the trial bar and the policies they support are running doctors out of our state and making quality health care less accessible for hardworking Pennsylvanians."

"We're getting to the point in this campaign where Santorum needs to show some progress. Voters' views on a race calcify, and it almost becomes a foregone conclusion in the absence of a significant event."

"In my book it's sort of the beginning of the campaign. It's been six years since Rick Santorum has had the opportunity to share a message directly with the voters. People don't always see things the way you want them to. It's a process."

The cost of college tuition is going through the roof, the cost of gasoline, every family knows that has almost doubled since President Bush took office and since Sen. Santorum became a leader. The cost of health care is up over 70 percent."

"I think its it's pretty sad that a guy who's been in the Senate for 12 years, his first ad ... out of the blocks is a one-issue ad on an issue that's he done nothing about... They have tried to use issues that demonize and divide people, that appeal to emotion and fear, and sometimes worse than that, in order to try to make up ground. ... They did it with gay marriage, they tried to do it with the flag amendment. I'm sure there will be others as well. I think a lot of Americans are tired of it."
