PHILADELPHIA -- Sen. Rick Santorum on Thursday withdrew his affiliation from the Christian-rights law center that defended a school district's policy mandating the teaching of ''intelligent design.''

Santorum, the Senate's No. 3 Republican who is facing a tough re-election challenge next year, earlier praised the Dover Area School District for ''attempting to teach the controversy of evolution.''

But the day after a federal judge ruled the district's policy on intelligent design unconstitutional, Santorum told the Philadelphia Inquirer he was troubled by testimony indicating religion motivated some board members to adopt the policy.

Casey spokesman Larry Smar said Wednesday that Santorum's statements were ''yet another example of 'Election Year Rick' changing his positions for political expediency.'' Casey has led Santorum in recent polls.

1. Let's change his nickname from

man-on-dog to Senator flip-flop

2. He's trying to get the moderates and giving up on the RW!!!

I think he's going down either way, but it strikes me odd that he'd abandon the ONLY strong supporters he has!

4. every once in awhile my stomach is strong enough

to listen to some of the sh*t these guys spew. Last night I listened (I can't look) to man on dog talk about his book. He honestly believes that we as humans have no idea what is right and what is wrong and we need someone like him to tell us how to live. What a spherical bastard.
