How can we help prevent Specter from doing this?
Frist makes committee assignments... I suggest writing to Frist and suggesting that Spector be assigned to the Underwater Basketweaving Committee, and nothing else.
Uhhh...take him to Disneyland and get him stuck in some of the lines on the day the position is to be filled?
I think I would have preferred the RAT candidate over Specter - and might have even voted that way if I lived there.
Specter is a jerk RINO.
Why would you want to prevent Arlen from doing this. Didn't President Bush and the Republican National Committee support Pro-Abortion Arlen Spectre over his Conservative Anti-Abortion opponent in the GOP Primary? What did they expect?
You cannot stop him. That is why we Pennsylvanians tried to get rid of this fake Republican in the primary. Specter seems to be a lot more frail these days. Possibly due to the campaign stress this year. We have been trying to get rid of this liberal. The female ex GOPer that flipped to go after Santorum has high name recognition as she was Pa Treasurer for years. Barbra Hafer will make us all miserable. I am sure Santorum knows this. Specter will give GW Bush a real arse pain. GW Bush will have to play hardball with Specter
Vote him out of office. D'oh! We just reelected him. Nevermind.
I myself voted against him, despite being sternly told here that we couldn't afford to jeopardize control of the Senate. I wasn't expecting to be vindicated this soon.
I was almost hoping Specter had been beaten by his RAT challenger when I saw some of the early results out of PA. He didn't win his state with as big a margin as he has previously.
What So Cal Rocket said.
We now have 55 senators and it only takes 51 to change the rules of filibuster. We just get rid of the filibuster rule.
Email Frist.
