"Rick Santorum is obligated to publicly back the incumbent Specter. Santorum believes, probably rightly, that he would not be senator today without Specter's help.

That's the key right there.

Loyalty to your friends trumps ideology any time. If he could get me a Senate seat, I'd back him too.

Rick Santorum is as good as it gets. I'll take a man of his word over an ideologue every time.

And if I lived in Pa, I'd vote Toomey because I don't owe Specter anything.

I'm extremely disappointed in Santorum for this. I would have never guessed it.

I'm disappointed in Santorum for his support of Specter. However, I'll bet that Specter extorted this support from both Santorum and Bush in exchange for votes in support of major legislation--like the tax cuts, for instance. If you listen to the radio spots, you definitely get that impression.

If I had to guess, I'd say Santorum will be supporting Specter publicly, but voting for Toomey.

Santorum's Shame

Recently I got a phone call that was a recorded message from Sen. Santorum endorsing a candidate for Attorney General. Out of deference to Rick, I didn't listen to the candidates name and automatically decide to vote for the other person.

But just barely.

An endorsement from Rick, right now, is all but the kiss of death in my eyes.

Shalom.

Union voters and DemocRats disguised as Indepedents are crossing over and voting for Specter in the primaries. SANTORUM GET A CLUE - THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR SPECTER IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. Not only will he lose against the Rat Senatorial candidate, thereby costing the GOP a precious Senate seat, but Bush will lose Pennsylvania's electoral votes as disgusted conservatives stay home.

Even if Specter somehow holds on to his seat, HE WILL BACKSTAB THE PRESIDENT JUST LIKE HE DID BEFORE WHEN HE BLOCKED HIS JUDICIAL NOMINEES AND VOTED AGAINST BUSH'S TAX CUTS, and just like he Borked Judge Robert Bork before-hand.

Specter = Ultra-RINO who should be put out to pasture.

Ain't nothing new with Santorum

He came out for that baby killer gun grabbing Greenwood in the Bucks County congressional primaries several years back

Defeating RINO Specter is akin to defeating a Democrat.

Hopefully Santorum will bring himself to look into a mirror again.

Santorum and Bush are supporting Specter..and the PA Republican party is supporting Specter.....ALL for the obvious reasons. Toomey cannot win the general election.

I'm not crazy about Specter, in fact I once emailed him saying I would never vote for him again. But with the Senate so closely divided, it would be foolish to take the chance of handing it over to a Dem majority.

This piece is sheer stupidity. What's up with Stephen Moore? Incumbent politicians always support other incumbent politicans of their own party, especially in their own state. It is traditional, it is expected, and it is the pragmatic thing to do. Sometimes it is done with enthusiasm, sometimes it is done with a wink, and sometimes it is done with an upset stomach, but it is always done. Even Toomey fully understands this, and he has said as much.

Arlen also believe wholeheartedly in caannibalism for medical purposes. [HINT: he's championing federal spending for creating then harvesting embryonic humans and cloning for same. His demented buddy, Orrin Hatchling is right there with him on these issues. Shameful, in my humble opinion.]

Santorum has been "absorbed" into the system and has sold his soul to it!

Sad! This is very puzzling however. I'm not so sure that's the extent of the reason(s) why.

Santorum's recent RINOism is strange, given that he took such a hard line in favour of the Texas Sodomy Law a few months ago.

Specter freely admits that he shares the ideology of Jim Jeffords.

Why don't you just slap us and spit in our faces Arlen?...So you consider yourself an ideological back-stabber?
