Six more Years (Will Spectre be grateful? - NO)

"That may be, but with Specter in the Senate, are conservatives REALLY all that much better off"?

We are absolutely better off, in many ways, but the most important would be keeping the majority leadership, and the Chair positions that we now hold.

Maybe "some" conservatives feel more at home being the minority party, but this Republican understands the important difference in direction this country would take under the leadership of Dash-hole, and the senior Senator from Massachusetts.

If Bush was smart (and he probably was), he would have extracted a promise from Specter to support the GOP in return for W's support of him.

Why don't you sit down, suck your thumb and hold your breath until you get your way.

We'll check back on you with our decision a a week or so.

[Petronski]

Why would he show any gratitude? He's not running again in 2010, so he literally needs no one for anything.



Either uber-liberal Hoeffel or stealth-liberal Specter will represent Penna for six more years.

And what's worse, the very best outcome (a Specter loss coupled with a net Republican gain elsewhere) is beyond the control of Pennsylvanians, so we have to support this bastard in November.

No, actually, I was a town chair for Sununu in 2002. You must have me confused with someone else. I'm not a Smith-ie. I was just pointing out that the WH had the good sense to not back a general election loser in 2002 with Smith and repeated that strategy in 2004 with Specter-Toomey.

Sounds like a plan, rino

[Redleg Duke]

Take that term rino and insert it violently in your anal oraface! I have been a conservative longer than you have been sucking your thumb, shortround. The basic difference is that I am mature enough to use tactics rather than childish emotion.

The man is an enemy of the republic.

Maybe Ted Kenedy, Schumer, or the Hellbeast are worse than him, but not by much. A rookie dem senator would be unable to do any real damage.

Spectre, a domestic enemy of the Constitution, will do irreparable harm as chairman of the Judiciary committee.

One would have to hate this nation to vote for him.

"I will be writing in Pat Toomey's name in protest instead."

I hope many conservatives write Toomey's name in protest and thereby cost the RINO Spectre his Senate seat. Until this sort of thing happens, the GOP will always take advantage of us true conservatives. They take us for granted and, I for one, am getting damned tired of it.

I am also damned tired of being denigrated as a "one-issue" voter thank you very much Rush Limbaugh!!!! Why heck, as long as we're winning the war and we have low unemployment, low inflation, low interest rates, and the stock market is cooking why should we really give a rat's behind if 3 or 4 thousand unborn children get butchered this year. Hey, party on dudes, IBM is going through the roof.

Can someone please tell me how Santorum turned his back on the unborn by supporting Spectre's return to the senate? I am in utter shock how this happened?
