Rick Santorum: “Which I find remarkable to believe, and the answer is, I do know that some organizations support it, but I find it…”

On the recordJuly 16, 2002
Which I find remarkable to believe, and the answer is, I do know that some organizations support it, but I find it remarkable to believe that any legitimate organization would endorse a bill they have not seen and have no idea how much it costs. The answer to your question is, yes, I am aware that certain organizations have endorsed it. I question the responsible nature of those organizations that would endorse a bill they have not seen, have no idea what the impact is on their members, and have no idea what the impact is as far as the cost to their members and the cost to the taxpayers, because we do not know that yet.

I think the President just picked the wrong one. So I don't think that was a political wind shift. I just think he picked the wrong bill to veto.
