This guy is as stupid as any RAT, and hasn't the first clue; give him permanent latrine duty.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Bush Administration own Specter? After all, Specter faced a tough primary challenge from a conservative, and Specter managed to win because the Bush Administration endorsed him (keeping with their policy of endorsing all Republican incumbents). Also, during the primary campaign, Specter appealed to conservatives by saying he would support Bush's judicial appointments. Now that he is elected, he is doing a total flip-flop. What an asshole!

I hope conservatives in Pennsylvannia don't forget this six years from now!

Sounds like Specter is gearing up to duke it out with McLame and Hagel for the title of MSM's Favorite Republican. Why I do not know or care.

Perfect example of why I refuse to join the Party. The GOP sabotaged Toomey to keep this oxygen thief in the Senate.

The GOP tried to sabotage Coburn in Oklahoma too---but he won anyway and will probably be the most conservative senator we have.

Good ol' fashioned conservativism, Senator, increased the Republican party's percentage of the Hispanic, Jewish, female and African-American vote as well as winning more seats for the Republicans in the Senate in the red states. Why in the world would we want to go back the losing strategy you and other RINOS promoted for years that put the Republicans in the minority.

Specter is as clueless as the Democrats.

We must contact the conservative media in addition to contacting the politicians. They both feed off of the other.

Keep up the pressure...we will hit critical mass if we keep pushing.

The new GOP Senators coming in did not make it by being moderates. Coburn, DeMint, Martinez, Burr, Vitter, and Isakson will not be joining as moderates in the mold Specter envisions.

This also appears to be an insult to Santorum.

Both of your observations are ridiculous. The GOP does not campaign against its own caucus members and the NRSC spent a lot of cash to help Coburn win.

Your observations are as delusional as Specter's.

I can't believe we let the RINOs talk us into supporting this spRectum d-bag over Toomey...colossal error that must be corrected.

Specter is so wrong. It was precisely because of W's hard line stands, not moderation, that got us a 60 million vote win.

I just wrote on another threat that we should work around Specter. If he is going to help the left trash conservatives in general and Bush by association, he should be denied the Judiciary post at all costs, including a Jeffords-like separation from the GOP.....

You are so right. The moderation that he stands for is a slap to those of us who voted for Bush. He doesn't waver, and the chairman shouldn't either. Time for him to move out of the way. . .
