SPECTER SAYS PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE

Specter was asked twice if the President had a mandate. Specter hemmed and hawed with the first answer...then when pressed said the President does not have a mandate.

THIS GUY HAS GOT TO GO!!!!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

No mandate? Whatever, dude. Specter needs to knock off the whacky tobaccy.

[repentant_pundit]

LOL !

Specter needs to join his twin brother Tommy Daschle in exile.

[NittanyLion]

Is there anything Republicans can do to stop Specter?

Beat him in the PA primary?

Whoops! We didn't want to do that, did we?

[bradactor]

I am coming more and more into agreement that Toomey should have been the candidate.

Thank god catholics and christians and all of moral faith in this country finally got off their asses and sent a message. I mean everywhere I go here on LI NY i hear and see these clueless liberals expressing anger or depression and I just want to slap the sheeeet out of them!!!!!!!!

Can only add an 'Amen' to that. . .

[26lemoncharlie]

Keep emailing, mailing, and phone calling Senator Frist and Block This scumbag!!

[proudpapa]

McGreevey has a mandate.

[anniegetyourgun]

This is Mandate. He is a stallion....unlike Sen. Spector who is a gelding.

[RockinRight]

I dunno why W supported Specter. Perhaps he thought he'd get the favor returned.

This joker has got to go.

[kristinn]

We need to get the transcript of his remarks. Could someone with TIVO record the West Coast feed and post the exact language?

Thanks.

[jim35]

What a tool. This guy is the worst RINO on the team. He makes McCain look like another Newt.

[IStillBelieve]

Spector's just looking for some of that "maverick Republican" TV time currently reserved for McCain.

[antaresequity]

I am coming more and more into agreement that Toomey should have been the candidate.

Excuse me but, your just coming to this conclusion now? Spectre has made it a life long career to stab his own party in the back...

Spectre must go...NO chairmanships ever...never

[Flux Capacitor]

----Is there anything Republicans can do to stop Specter?----

SURE, if they have the cojones! They can disregard his seniority, ensure that SOMEBODY ELSE gets the Judiciary Committee Chairmanship, and put this guy out to pasture with Trent Lott.

The most galling part of all of this is that Bush SAVED THIS JERK'S ASS in the spring. And this is how the President is repaid.

SPECTER MUST NOT GET THAT CHAIRMANSHIP.

[pattnet]

Spector seems to think HE has a mandate for himself...

[Rome2000]

No Chairmanship for him!!!!!!

[NittanyLion]

I dunno why W supported Specter. Perhaps he thought he'd get the favor returned. This joker has got to go.

It was obvious the favor wouldn't be returned; I have absolutely no idea why Specter was supported.

Have to admit, I didn't expect Arlen would stab Bush in the back so quickly. He really wasted no time whatsoever in reminding us all that he was a registered Democrat who only switched parties to get on the ballot.

[OldFriend]

Specter knows he lost the chairmanship so he has nothing to lose now.

Cutting off his nose to spite his face, kind of like Paul O'Neill did when Dubya fired his rear end.

[Gerasimov]

Hmm ... sound like Arafat had several Man-Dates.

[kenth]

That's how I see it. It's ridiculous to argue. Whoever sits in the Oval Office is going to set their agenda, regardless of how many people support them.

Stumping for Spector was a huge mistake.
