Anal Sphincter should switch parties!
Trade Evan Bayh for Specter!
EXSPECTERATE ARLEN!
Arlen sure looks funny with all that EGG-MAC-MUFFIN on his face, huh?
Alright all you PAers. Are you ready for the recall campaign? You know without the support of the pro-lifers, Specter would not stand a chance of retaining his seat.
The games's too important to keep him on the roster!
You know, Specter must have been spending a lot of time on the liberal dominated networks, hearing the threats and anger of the left during the campaigns to have been emboldened enough to slap Bush in the face like that immediately after the election. How Stupid could he have been? He has since dis-avowed applying litmus tests, but the fact of the matter is he is pro-abortion... and if you don't value life, how can you be trusted to value anything else other than your own power?
Other than calling/faxing/emailing, what can we do? I'm up for it.
I've FAX'd and will call Frist's office and signed the online petitions. Now what? Anything?
Do you think Evan Bayh is any better? He votes consistently as little Tommy Daschle told him to. He's worse than Specter or the same, but he's no better. Evan Bayh says one thing in Indiana and votes differently in Washington. Fat chance he'd ever turn Republican, and who would want him?
I have been informed that there is no provision to remove a Senator with a recall. I already put that forward as soon I heard the news. I even emailed arlen with that threat before is was informed about the no provision. I am not sure what can be done other than what we are foing demanding that he not be placed as the Chair. Any ideas ??
A Pa'er who wanted Toomey, but the Prez and Rick Santorum wanted Arlen !!
They forgot an H, I think.
Magic Bullet Arlen. What a joke. We should move back to the system of Senators being appointed. As it now stands the Senate is largely a joke and an obstructionist body holding up needed change in government. Magic Bullet Arlen is the poster boy for term limits.
Bayh voted every time for the unprecedented filabusters of judicial nominees. Not even Specter went that far.
My highest regards and deepest regrets. I think we are pretty well mobilized against the chairmanship, but there must be some way to remove a public official who is clearly derelict in his or her duty. What do you do with a polititian who simply fails to fulfill his duty? There might be light in that direction.
I believe as much heat as possible must be brought to bare on Specter.
He MUST understand that his grandstanding and unprincipled life is now open to the Red States and if he continues to make Liberal decisions the outcry from us will only grow.
Their is not a single seat within the Senate more important to the Conservative agenda being enforced over the next few decades than the Chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
It is the judiciary that enforces the US Constitution. It is through this committee that individuals are moved to judicial positions...positions that oversee all of this countries legal bodies.
No amount of blowback in making sure he does not get the seat can compare to the damage this Liberal can do from that position.
He CANNOT be allowed to chair this committee.
And if he lashes out and cannot humbly submit himself to the will of the Senate leadership then he is not the kind of Man we want to support in the first place.
If anything else...this should humble him. when all is said and done, I would rather he not get the chair.
"WE" [Not the Libs] we removed Lott for being an idiot and we can make sure this other putz does not interfere with what we want to accomplish.
Honestly, I'd rather dump him outright, pull his credentials and send him over to the Democratic side of the aisle...but I'm not a rational person when it comes to dealing with leftover hippie generation rejects/traitors.
We will see what ends up happening but the heat must remain on him.
Priority 1: Remove Specter from the Judiciary (Day 4)

Update:
Under the current rules, the way to go about preventing Specter from becoming the Chairman of the Judiciary is to have someone CHALLENGE Specter for the Chair. Hatch is term-limited and can't continue. Grassley is very unlikely to give up his Chair of Finance Committee. Senator Jon Kyl is next in line and seems to be the best candidate. This is where we need to concentrate on, getting someone to CHALLENGE Specter for the Chairman's role. We need to contact Senator Kyl to see his willingness and also contact other Senators to support Kyl in making a CHALLENGE.
Focus: Drafting Jon Kyl as Chairman - E-mail, fax, phone all GOP Senators!
I believe all this is decided when the GOP caucuses. But we still lack information on this. I have conflicting reports, they caucus next week, they caucus in the next two weeks. I believe the Senate is in recess until November 16th, but it is possible the GOP caucus in before then. We need understand the process more if we want to impact it.
Keep up the Good Work: We are being heard!
Watch out for Specter: Specter knows he is in trouble. Specter is going on the talk show circuit to make his case. Don't buy into his BS. Specter will point out that he has supported Bush's nominees. He voted for Thomas. He voted for Scalia. Of course, so did Senator Kerry and 96 other Senators. Like Senator Kerry, Specter wants to maintain the liberal balance on the court. They will only support a conservative judge if it does not threaten Roe v. Wade. Senator Specter says he doesn't have a litmus test. But just ask Specter what he would do if the court were divided 5-4 on abortion. I am 100% convinced Specter would pull out any and all stops to make sure a pro-abortion judge is appointed. The more I learn about Specter, the more I see that protecting Roe v. Wade is his number one priority. This is why Specter will do and say ANYTHING to get the Judiciary Chairman assignment. Specter is a snake, when he goes to pat you on the back watch out for the knife in his hand. Specter flat out hates social conservatives and 'strict constructionist' judges. Specter is a 'living document' guy.
Our Resolve:
Whereas, liberal Senator Arlen Specter is in line to be Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter has a stated litmus test against pro-abortion judges.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter has stated he will fight against conservative judges
Whereas, in the past liberal Arlen Specter has helped defeat great judges like Robert Bork,
Whereas, the Democrats have loaded the Judiciary Committee with extreme liberals such as Kennedy, Feinstein, Leahy, and Schumer.
Whereas, liberal Arlen Specter is in a position to turn our huge and historic election victory into a defeat by killing the nomination of all decent judges,
Be it resolved, that we will do whatever it takes to get liberal Arlen Specter off the Judiciary Committee

Other than calling/faxing/emailing, what can we do? I'm up for it.We should make sure that the Judiciary Committee has a 12 to 7 R/D split. As noted by Hugh Hewitt:
So, fellow pro-life conservatives, we should keep our focus on the key issues: The split of the seats, the names of the new members, and reform of the rules governing judicial nominees.I agree with Hugh on this one. I'm afraid that it may be a bad idea to spend too much energy on trying to stop Senator Specter from assuming the chairmanship, better, I think, to focus on the bigger picture, leverage the strong R/D split and reform the rules.

I suppose we could also e-mail Cheney, since he's more directly involved with the senate.
