Hoeffel had a 8 ACU lifetime rating and would not have moved SCOTUS candidates like Roberts and Alito or any number of conservative appeals court nominees through the Judiciary Committee for ultimate confirmation and seating. Specter did. Specter voted for tax cuts and national security priorities. Would Hoeffel?
I don't know, I'd take a Republican who satisfies some of my conservative priorities over a Democrat who satisfies none.
I curious, do you support this bill? If so, why?
It's losing slowly. Actually, right now, it's moving very swiftly but those who did not want to vote McCain feel very superior, morally.
I look at it that our side has use of a liberal Republican. They still add to our numbers and we must get into the majority someway.
Our country is being ravaged right now. If we had even one or two more RINO senators we would not be in this fix.
Since I don’t live in Pennsylvania I’ll admit I don’t know anything about Joe Hoeffel...normally I would accept a somewhat wishy washy Republican over a Democrat (I voted for Gordon Smith, mr wishy washy himself, for Oregon senator). But some things just can’t be forgiven. When it was time to stop the insanity of porkulus, he failed to come through. Now he wants more H-B visas when unemployment is about to go over 10% (in reality it already is). Has Specter voted conservatively on any bill that mattered lately?
Let me rephrase my request...Please take Specter out in the primary so we can give a real conservative a chance.
