Flashback: In 2006, Rick Santorum Wanted To Send All Pennsylvanians To College

TPM writes Flashback: In 2006, Rick Santorum Wanted To Send All Pennsylvanians To College.

"TROY, MICHIGAN — At an Americans For Prosperity-sponsored tea party rally here Saturday, Rick Santorum trumpeted his connections to the working class by attacking President Obama’s plan to make college more accessible to Americans.

‘President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college,’ Santorum said. ‘What a snob!’

The crowd laughed and applauded wildly. But the last time Santorum ran for public office — his ill-fated 2006 Senate reelection campaign — he was right there with Obama, running on his promise to make college more accessible to all Pennsylvanians."

Well I guess there's one thing I agreed with Santorum in 2006 about. Too bad the tea party is against education.
