Our new web ad illustrates yet another example of Rick Santorum's stunning hypocrisy. Back in 1992 Rick starred in his own commercial and chastised Congressional leaders for running up massive deficits and passing the bill along to our children. Rick said back then that he would, "continue my fight to clean up Congress and its greedy spending practices."

Sadly (but not surprisingly), ending "the greedy spending practices" of Congress wasn't the focus of any Santorum battles. Instead, he fought his way into the Senate leadership, and he's led us to budget deficits of more than $1.25 TRILLION. Watch the ad to see Rick say one thing and do the exact opposite. Don't forget to share the ad with your friends, family members and contacts.

Last night on MSNBC's Countdown, Keith Olbermann reported on Rick Santorum's hypocrisy in regard to subsidized trips on corporate jets. A story originally reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Keith's face at the end of this clip perfectly sums up our reaction to Rick's justification of his behavior based upon his logically flawed comparison to the gas tax. Here's the video:

Yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer lays out yet another case of Rick Santorum's hypocrisy. While Rick was publicly pushing to add a provision to ethics reform legislation that would end corporate-subsidized flights for members of Congress, he was taking advantage of those very same corporate-subzidized flights to travel to fund raisers.


Not surprisingly, the corporate travel provision he was pushing while he was the "point man" on ethics reform was not included in the final package.

Jon Delano, from KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, asked Rick Santorum whether he's on the side of oil companies who are reaping huge profits, or the consumers who are now paying $3 a gallon for gas. Delano's question was based on the fact that oil companies have been very generous to Rick, giving him more than $400,000 over his Congressional career. Delano didn't bring up the fact that Rick voted to give more than $2 billion in tax breaks to oil and gas companies in last summer's energy bill. Watch the Delano video here.

Here's Rick's answer:


It's also only logical that oil and gas companies would support people who vote to give them giant tax breaks while they're making record profits, right Rick? Whose side do you think Rick's on?
