Santorum gave $81,500 to charity over the past four years, or 2.2% of the more than $3.6 million in total income he earned since leaving the Senate, the documents showed.

No surprise here, really. If you can't see the widespread hate this guy has for so many types of people peaking out behind that fake 'evangelical' smile, you'd have to be blind.
No surprise - he has to save it to buy contraceptives for his daughters.
A born-again child of GOD, who only gave 2% of his income over 4 years to charity??
This is a misprint or a joke, RIGHT
What a total HYPOCRITE!!!!!
Hey, give the guy a break. I think he had significant medical bills.
just an idiot.
So the guy earns almost $1 year and gives $20K to charity... and I assume that includes his church. I guess he takes his narrow-minded, selfish conservative ideology to heart. He practices what he preaches. The NEW party of Lincoln: "With malice toward many, with charity to few."
How many of you people gave to charity none ya of course Obama is giving you hand outs
Honestly not suprised. Most people who wear their religion on thier sleeve don't actually believe what it is they're parading around. Santorum, like all the rest of them, is simply choosing a political angle with the uuber-Catholic/Evangelical banter. There is no true Christianity where there is not action to accompany the rhetoric.
