Clymer is the only conservative in the race. The Specter has done nothing to advance our cause.

I guess we can recycle the old line:

What a CLYMER

With Bush tight in the polls, Obama likely taking a GOP seat, and the money situation for the Republicans worse than ever vs Democrats, making it harder for us to win Senate seats ... I really *dont* think it is right to take on Specter now or try to get him to lose to the Liberal Democrat Hoeffel. We tried with Toomey and came up short. Now let's work on the races that are must-wins ... We need to get Bush to win PA. That should be the focus, not a 3rd party candidate that will get a few percent at most. (and at worst make PA a democrat seat.) JMHO.

I'm proudly supporting Jim. I'm sure some Scottish Law Specter apologists will rant and rave about how I'm such a wacko "purist" who opposes any candidate who doesn't agree with me on "100%" of the issues, which is really funny considering I am backing EVERY candidate for the U.S. Senate who was NOT my "original choice" in the primary (Keyes, Isakson, DeMint, McCain....even Murkowski if I have to, ugh) The only EXCEPTION is Specter because the PA race has given us two reliable DEMOCRATS running against each other, only one has "R" next to his name on the ballot.

If you want to see real "purists" who are hoping a great conservative will lose to a socialist because THEIR candidate wasn't selected after the primary, check out all the Keyes bashers on the Illinois threads.

The PA race simply gives conservatives no other choice but to vote third party. If I agreed with Specter's platform, I'd be a registered RAT (like the Oklahoma RAT U.S. Senate candidate who has the SAME "Conservative" rating as Specter).

Uh-oh...he's a REAL CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT...better hurry up and CRUCIFY him...lol

B-U-M-P!!!!

I hope there is an alternative besides a Rat here in the AZ senate race. The wife & I under no circumstances can vote for McCain again.

We will not pass, we want him to lose and will vote for a Rat if there is no other. We like our enemies upfront and out in the open, I will be letting the McCainiac know we are voting against him.

He has come to believe he is an irremovable institution, hope to prove him wrong and send a message to all the other RINOS across the nation, "Your BS rat appeasing happy days are over" and hard times are acoming.

Toomey has endorsed Specter.

If you are sincere supporter of his, you would follow Toomey's advice.

He sounds like a man I'd be proud to vote for.

Never experienced that, living in New England.

[Diago]

Go Clymer.

Santorum, go to confession and say 10,000 Hail Marys for your sin.

The Specter has done nothing to advance our cause.

He helped Santorum get elected and put a rock-solid conservative voice in the Senate.

The right is outnumbered in Pennslyvania... the conservatives and moderates need each other to get anything accomplished. We either cooperate and accept SOME conservatives and SOME moderates winning elections, or we pull a childish, spoiled snit and get all Democrats and hard leftists in office.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Toomey ping and BTTT - hello, usual suspects and newcomers.

"Clymer is the only conservative in the race. The Specter has done nothing to advance our cause."


And you think getting a Democrat elected will?

[Hermann the Cherusker]

He's got my vote!

[Scholastic]

Thanks for this post!

Conservatives have NOTHING to loose by backing Clymer and everything to gain. You have two evil candidates running on the two major parties, however one will be the chair of the judiciary committee. Democrat Hoffell is the "lesser evil" if you want to he honest. However a direct vote for him simply sends the message that Specter wasnt far-left enough. Until we vote for what we want, we will never get it.
