Judging by some recent letters to the editor that have appeared in Pennsylvania newspapers, central Pennsylvania residents are not buying what Rick Santorum and Americans for Job Security have been selling when it comes to Rick's record on Social Security.
First, we have "Santorum's Gall", which appeared in the Harrisburg Patriot-News. Lynwood E. Outzts of Carlisle has this to say:
Just when I thought I had seen how far Sen. Rick Santorum would go, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears upon hearing the Pennsylvania Republican's latest spin on his support for Social Security.
I believe this is an all-time low even for him. After his solid and unwavering support for President Bush's effort to privatize the system, now he wants us to believe that he supports those 55 and older and to make sure they get their full benefit.
Who does he think he is kidding? After all the arrogant comments he has made in the past, this TV commercial has got to take a lot of nerve.
Next up we have
"Santorum Should Go", submitted to the
York Dispatch by Thomas Clarke of York:
U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum was seen on TV behind President Bush when he was trying to privatize social security. Now he is running TV ads telling us that he is the person who will save Social Security if we vote for him.
It seems that at least a few Pennsylvanians don't see Rick as the savior of Social Security that he apparently believes he is.
