“The group that called me corrupt was CREW,” Santorum said at the recent GOP presidential debate. “If you haven’t been sued by CREW you’re not conservative. CREW is a left wing organization that puts out a list every election of the top Republicans in tough races and calls them all corrupt because they take contributions from PACs.”
In 2010, CREW published a "Crooked Candidates" list that included . . . Marco Rubio (R-FL - elected) . . . and Allen West (R-FL - elected)!

Contributions to Pro-Abortion Candidates
One can't help but notice right off the bat that this collation of endorsements cherry-picked the Republican candidates from liberal-dominated states running against pro-abortion opponents endorsed over the span of a decade - out of who knows how many Republicans Santorum and his PAC have donated to in total - to create an impression that is less than honest. It IS true that these candidates were either imperfectly pro-life or outright pro-abortion, but what is missing is the fact their opponents were radically more pro-abortion Democrats in blue, or purple trending blue, areas that only VERY RARELY elect social conservatives. It is crucial to have a party majority in Congress to get the pro-life agenda passed; that means in some states, it is necessary to work with the "Scott Brown"s that are electable when you can't have the ideal.
