Anyone but Santorum, Santorum cost me my Job

Slick Rick, thats a good term for him. In 1994, Santorum ran on keeping Pennsylvania's military bases open. 6 months after he got into office he voted to close the Warminster Naval Air Development Center. 5000 people lost their jobs there. He just led the fight to close Willow Grove Joint Reserve base where 7500 work. Most of those jobs will be completely dissolved. Santorum then came back a few months ago and proposed a new unit for Willow Grove, the headlines all praised it, though with the reading of the fine print only 200 jobs would possibly be given to Willow Grove. 200 jobs minus the 7500 already there which he himself is responsible for losing in the first place for Pennsylvania. The positions no the people are being given to other states. Slick Rick indeed!!!!
