Sen. Arlen Specter's prospects of becoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee if he wins a fourth Senate term in Pennsylvania is making him a target of some conservatives.

"You put a person like that in charge of the Judiciary Committee, and we won't see many of President Bush's nominees get through," says Connie Mackey of the Family Research Council. "With regard to social issues, he is a poster child of NARAL and NOW."

Yeah, Spector shot the bitch. Even the Ramones said he pulled a gun on them as well. It`s the midget complex....He`s got a big little man deal and she cursed him out when she saw the pin, so he wacked her then blamed it on suicide , ya see. So he joins the millenium celebrity cell block, Blake, M jackson, and all the rest of those wackos. What they do to Jacko should be interesting. I guess he`ll be hitting the bars after attending his 500th episode of the new "Peter Pan" movie. "Oh, but he`s child-like"...Yeah, and Gacy was a "cement scientist".

Well, I guess Specter will have all vacancies in the Scottish courts filled within a month.

Congratulations on the most "non-sequitur" post I've ever seen on Free Republic.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee from New York, last summer suggested that Mr. Bush break the impasse over his judicial nominations by nominating Mr. Specter to the federal courts. Mr. Specter, he said, would get unanimous support from Democrats.

It is scary. Specter, according to the polls, has a huge lead in Pennsylvania. We seem to be making little headway.

[HostileTerritory]

Well, at least one reader caught the reference. Bravo. Very cute.

[Badray]

If this isn't telling, I don't know what is.

"Mr. Specter, he said, would get unanimous support from Democrats."

Is anyone still unsure about voting Toomey?

Elect more RINOs, they can WIN!

Some "patriotic fiscally conservative" RINOs that "pragmatic" freepers promoted in the past:

ROWLAND (RINO-CT)
Destroyed Connecticut, soon-to-be-indicted.

BLOOMBERG (RINO-NY)
Destoryed NYC, soon to be defeated.

JEFFORDS (RINO-VT)
Switched Parties, Gave Senate to Daschle.

RYAN (RINO-IL)
Destroyed Illinois, now indicted.

MORELLA (RINO-MD)
Tried to throw election to Gore, defeated.

Article - Friday, December 26, 2003 Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Specter baffles on Saddam

Pennsylvania's senior U.S. Senator, a nominal Republican from Philadelphia, is undecided about where Saddam Hussein should have his day in court. Specter clearly prefers the Netherlands to Iraq, even though the international court at The Hague cannot impose the death penalty. Which do you think Saddam would choose?

FREEPERS, MAN YOUR BROOMS!

Time to sweep out the RINO dirt and clean up the GOP house. Support Toomey. See http://www.pattoomey.org.

I don't recall a whole lot of support ever being given to these individuals, certainly not to point of "promotion".
