We live in a world in which we don't get everything we want. Arlen has been supportive of most GOP goals. A Leahy would obstruct everything we hold dear.
This is exactly what Bill Frist should say to Arlen as he informs him he won't be heading up the Senate Judiciary Committee.
If you permit Arlen Spectre to chair the judiciary committe,
I am one of MILLIONS of Christians who will take it as a betrayal of everything we thought we were working for when we supported your party.
I can assure you -- if that happens, MILLIONS of us will either sit out the next elections, or give our votes to third or fourth parties.
It's not the open virulence of Democrats that hurts the most, BUT SUAVE BETRAYAL BY PERCEIVED FRIENDS.
Spectre today = loss of presidency, house, and senate by 2008. I can promise you that.
