Senator Rick Santorum, R - Pa, is a duly designated representative of George Bush's America. He's popular among the evangelicals, obviously the new chosen people of God, and tows the conservative line in the Senate. He's the junior senator from Pa. and is often at odds with the much more moderate Arlen Specter. Pittsburg TV station WTAE-TV reported during a segment of one of their newscasts recently:

Senator Rick Santorum is criticizing the government's emergency response to hurricane katrina victims. But he's also criticizing the ones who chose to ride out the storm. I mean, you have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving.

The CapitolBuzz blog had some interesting responses to the this segment. The most interesting was by someone called Joe Boo. He asserted that the people who didn't evacuate should be left on their own. That's a great Republican standpoint and but it certainly doesn't sound like the good Christian stand point. Would our brother Jesus have left the people to die? But the good Christians would in Bush's America.
