We've got Specter where we want him, on the record as "not going to oppose Bush's nominees.

Not the time for bloodletting IMHO.

This is NOT about abortion. That is old news.

THIS IS ABOUT INTEGRITY. SPECTER MUST GO.

It's long past the deadline for Senator Specter to come on over to the "dark side". A Republican imitating a Democrat is really not a wholesome spectacle anyway.

After hearing Karl Rove on two Sunday shows,
I am all for letting the WH handle Specter.

Sen. Arlen Specter pledged on Monday not to oppose Supreme Court nominees just because they are anti-abortion as the moderate Republican fought to keep alive his bid to head the Senate panel that oversees judicial nominations.

First off, Arlen Specter is NOT a "moderate." That's the Leftist media carrying water for him.

Second, if given the choice between letting Specter screw us AGAIN and kicking him off the Judiciary Committee, I'll opt for the latter. I'll never forget or forgive his squandering of the Clinton impeachment.

So, in the final analysis, TO HELL WITH SPECTER.

This is exactly why RINOs ought to be bumped off in primaries, senority being a huge liability in this case.

"He angered conservatives last week by saying he thought it unlikely the newly elected Senate... would confirm a Supreme Court nominee who wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade,"

Specter must be senile to even make such a stupid statement. I can't ever remember a nominee saying he wanted to overturn Roe.

What Specter really meant is that he would consider any nominee who is pro-life to be objectionable even if he has never expressed an opinion on Roe.

RINO Arlen Spectre is not a moderate. That is why he is called a RINO (Republican In Name Only).

I say that he should not be nominated or given the Senate Judiciary Committee chairmanship. I say that the be voted out of that spot, and if he wants to stomp his feet and pout and change over to the Democrat party, that would be just fine with me.

He can keep Jumpin' Jim Jeffords company. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Sean Hannity interviewed Arlen Spector on his radio program this afternoon. In my opinion I do not think Spector can be fully trusted and should still be held accountable for not convicting Bill Clinton based on "Scottish Law".

I do not understand why President Bush spent so much of his political capital campaigning for Spector, but my hopes are that for the President's generous efforts that Spector will return the favor with great magnanimity.

If, however, republicans have the chance to make a bold decision as to the Chairman of the Judiciary, please let it be a very fine, upstanding conservative and not some finger in the wind moderate.

Jim Jeffords has nothing on this RINO puke. Drive him into obscurity ... or to the Rat party. I don't give a flip. This idiot deserves his comeuppance.

Reuters calls Spector a moderate....

Guess it depends upon your perspective.....

According to Rueters Islamic terrorists are freedom fighters

Hamas is a boy scout organization and Arafat is a male supermodel

"Absolutely not, and it's not just what I'm saying — I have done it. I have not applied a litmus test, and have voted to confirm pro-life judges," he said in a television interview.

and this is the outcome we want clearly in his mind if he is confirmed, we want him on the defensive having to prove to us he will confirm our judges.
I think hugh hewitt has a point, if we blow our power majority we will be screwed for the 06 elections where there are like 12 republican judges up for re-election.

READ THIS POST IT CHANGED MY MIND

I did hear Spectre on Hannity. He was evasive, hemmed and hawed, turned questions around, didn't give direct honest answers.......and in general, sounded like a snake.
