Arlen Specter on Rush

[Phantom Lord]

Tune in. Arlen called Rush to request time to refute something Toomey said.

[McGruff]

Rush should push him to get Gorelick to resign from the 911 commission.

[1Old Pro]

He's mad he got caught taking money from soros.

Sounds like it. Is RUSH letting him off the hook without followup???

The second-largest single donor to the Main Street Individual Fund, according to most recent information on Opensecrets.org, is George Soros. Yes, that George Soros, the one who compared the Bush administration to Nazi and Communist regimes, who has compared the Bush administration to George Orwell's 1984, called Bush's policies "Social Darwinist," who called defeating Bush in 2004 "the central focus of my life," and who donated $15.5 million to groups aiming to defeat Bush.

But that donation apparently arrived before Soros began frothing at the mouth about Bush, at least publicly. Resnick explained that Soros donated $50,000 to MSIF shortly after its founding in late 2002.

"We had no idea he was going to go after Bush," she said. "Since then, he has offered additional donations, but we have turned them down because we are Republicans first."

Bin Veniste should resign as well.

PA Republican PING!!!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

All I can say is "Go, Pat, Go!!!"

I used to have 'Proud that Rick Santorum is my Senator' as my tagline. But I am sorely disappointed in his endorsements (played on Spector campaign radio/TV ads) of the Scottish Law expert.

[cinFLA]

Oh shut up Arlen.

Right. Tar and feather him but gag him too!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Arlen is scared.

Time to send Toomey some money.

[onyx]

"Bin" Veniste should have never been a member.
The fact that he is privy to our national secrets,
scares the hell out of me, and I don't mind admitting it.

[neverdem]

Arlen's upset about this article:

[Stentor]

Well, so George Soros wants Specter to win.

Wasn't going to take much to push me into the Toomey column anyway. The only thing that had me wavering was the public support of Santorum for Arlen. I have now been pushed.

OH NO!
That pains me.
I am very disappointed in Santorum for that.

[McGruff]

Arlen: Remember how I battled Janet Reno.

Yeah, I remember and I wouldn't use that as a campaign slogan. A girl beat you.

[1Old Pro]

He jsut admitted that Soros sent him $1,000 check in the past.

[clintonh8r]

Reno's a girl?

Apparently the moderate Republicans on the Main Street board missed Soros's April 8, 2002, speech at the University of Pennsylvania where he said, "If we assess the foreign-policy accomplishments of the Bush administration since Sept. 11, the scorecard is quite dismal."

"There are some people in the Bush administration who have the same mentality as Arafat or Sharon," Soros said. "I can name names, like Ashcroft, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, although that is considered impolite.... [T]he war on terrorism cannot be won by waging war. We must, of course, protect our security; but we must also correct the grievances on which terrorism feeds."

[ end snip ]

Just wanted to put the whole picture out there, rather than a selective snip, mostly of a defensive remark by Resnick.

I noticed that Arlen also asserted that the group took the money before Soros expressed anti-Bush sentiment, but the National Review article asserts otherwise. Somebody is not telling the truth.

[WHBates]

LOL

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Oh my God, Rush is giving him the time...positively sickening.

Arlen is bold.

Rush is going to get a multitude of complaints about this one.

Toomey should not allow this to go unchallenged. He should call Rush tommorrow.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

My blood pressure just jumps when I hear the ads...infact, Sen. Santorum states (in the radio ad) 'Arlen is with us on the votes that matter. Which votes Rick? It really just galls me...

Any PA FReepers know how or where to get any Toomey signs? I see them everywhere, but can't find out how to get one for my yard.

[weldgophardline]

If that is follow up it was weak if that. I would 've hope Rush would have taken him to task for some of his votes that are more atuned to the left then the right.
