Thank goodness RINOs "deliver" their states to BUSH!
What possible good can come from having people like these call themselves Republican?...seems yo me a little like going to war with the French as an ally.
sad that we knew all about this 6 months ago but nobody would listen.
I think this is a second post for this article, but it needed to be posted again. It's devastating.
I thought Bush and Rove were making a big mistake when the intervened in behalf of this jerk, and it's more and more evident that indeed they did.
It's very possible that if they had NOT intervened, we would have had a strong Republican in the senate instead of this poor excuse for a Scottish lawyer. Not only that, but Bush might have won the state if he hadn't had Specter deliberately undermining him with his "Vote Kerry/Specter" flyers and his refusal to help get out the vote for Bush.
Big time mistake.
Maybe its time to consider whether Pat Toomey would be better than SANTORUM himself in the Senate. This campaign was the lowest point of Rick's career.
Thank goodness RINOs "deliver" their states to BUSH!
I believe as much heat as possible must be brought to bare on Specter.
He MUST understand that his grandstanding and unprincipled life is now open to the Red States and if he continues to make Liberal decisions the outcry from us will only grow.
Their is not a single seat within the Senate more important to the Conservative agenda being enforced over the next few decades than the Chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
It is the judiciary that enforces the US Constitution. It is through this committee that individuals are moved to judicial positions...positions that oversee all of this countries legal bodies.
No amount of blowback in making sure he does not get the seat can compare to the damage this Liberal can do from that position.
He CANNOT be allowed to chair this committee.
And if he lashes out and cannot humbly submit himself to the will of the Senate leadership then he is not the kind of Man we want to support in the first place.
If anything else...this should humble him. when all is said and done, I would rather he not get the chair.
"WE" [Not the Libs] we removed Lott for being an idiot and we can make sure this other putz does not interfere with what we want to accomplish.
Honestly, I'd rather dump him outright, pull his credentials and send him over to the Democratic side of the aisle...but I'm not a rational person when it comes to dealing with leftover hippie generation rejects/traitors.
We will see what ends up happening but the heat must remain on him.
Priority 1: Remove Specter from the Judiciary (Day 4)

Update:
Under the current rules, the way to go about preventing Specter from becoming the Chairman of the Judiciary is to have someone CHALLENGE Specter for the Chair. Hatch is term-limited and can't continue. Grassley is very unlikely to give up his Chair of Finance Committee. Senator Jon Kyl is next in line and seems to be the best candidate. This is where we need to concentrate on, getting someone to CHALLENGE Specter for the Chairman's role. We need to contact Senator Kyl to see his willingness and also contact other Senators to support Kyl in making a CHALLENGE.
Focus: Drafting Jon Kyl as Chairman - E-mail, fax, phone all GOP Senators!
I believe all this is decided when the GOP caucuses. But we still lack information on this. I have conflicting reports, they caucus next week, they caucus in the next two weeks. I believe the Senate is in recess until November 16th, but it is possible the GOP caucus in before then. We need understand the process more if we want to impact it.
Keep up the Good Work: We are being heard!
Watch out for Specter: Specter knows he is in trouble. Specter is going on the talk show circuit to make his case. Don't buy into his BS. Specter will point out that he has supported Bush's nominees. He voted for Thomas. He voted for Scalia. Of course, so did Senator Kerry and 96 other Senators. Like Senator Kerry, Specter wants to maintain the liberal balance on the court. They will only support a conservative judge if it does not threaten Roe v. Wade. Senator Specter says he doesn't have a litmus test. But just ask Specter what he would do if the court were divided 5-4 on abortion. I am 100% convinced Specter would pull out any and all stops to make sure a pro-abortion judge is appointed. The more I learn about Specter, the more I see that protecting Roe v. Wade is his number one priority. This is why Specter will do and say ANYTHING to get the Judiciary Chairman assignment. Specter is a snake, when he goes to pat you on the back watch out for the knife in his hand. Specter flat out hates social conservatives and 'strict constructionist' judges. Specter is a 'living document' guy.
Our Resolve:
Whereas, liberal Senator Arlen Specter is in line to be Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter has a stated litmus test against pro-abortion judges.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter has stated he will fight against conservative judges
Whereas, in the past liberal Arlen Specter has helped defeat great judges like Robert Bork,
Whereas, the Democrats have loaded the Judiciary Committee with extreme liberals such as Kennedy, Feinstein, Leahy, and Schumer.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter is in a position to turn our huge and historic election victory into a defeat by killing the nomination of all decent judges,
Be it resolved, that we will do whatever it takes to get liberal Arlen Specter off the Judiciary Committee

Dear Senator Frist,
After delivering the Republican Senate a historic mandate, the vast majority of Republican voters where shocked and disheartened by Senator Specter's open refusal to join the team. Senator Specter has every right to his views. However, The Republican voters who delivered this historic mandate to you have no reason to support Senator Specter. Senator Specter has made it clear that he cannot support us on Judicial nominations. We are sorry to hear that but must insist that Senator Specter be removed from consideration for the Chairmanship of the Judiciary Comittee. Since the Senator has made it clear he will not support us, we have no reason to reward his disloyalty.
Senator, the Republican controlled Senate is on probation. You HAVE to produce this time. The Republican base was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt after the narrow win in 2002.WE MUST PRODUCE and PRODUCE SOONEST. Anyone who stands in the way of real legislative leadership, as Senator Specter has made clear he will, must be removed or we will suffer significantly in 2006. For the good of the Country, the Senate and The Republican party, Senator Specter must not be allowed the Chairmanship of the Judiciary Comittee.
