Rick Santorum's office today sent out a press release touting Rick's co-sponsorship of an amendment to block a Congressional pay raise this year. That's interesting simply because Rick has voted against similar amendments three times since 2001, and as recently as just two years ago.
You may ask, why would Rick have a change of heart now? The Washington Post might have the answer to that question:
As early as today, senators are expected to vote on a GOP-offered measure to freeze their 2006 cost-of-living adjustment. One prominent co-sponsor: Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who blames his poor poll numbers back home in Pennsylvania in part on public furor over a pay raise that state legislators granted themselves.
Don't you love it when Rick stands on principle?
