"Thufferin thucccotash, we have to put up with Specter for six more years!"
Thanks.
Spector's just looking for some of that "maverick Republican" TV time currently reserved for McCain.
Spector seems to think HE has a mandate for himself...
No Chairmanship for him!!!!!!
Cutting off his nose to spite his face, kind of like Paul O'Neill did when Dubya fired his rear end.
I predict that he will switch parties within a year. He's almost there now.
Specter is an ungrateful shill of the Dems... He has to go. He cannot be on the Judiciary committee period. The President has too much to accomplish to allow this dim-wit to stand in the way he didn't even pull PA for Bush get him out now... Petition.
On another note, Susan Collins is using the Dem talking point "lame duck session."
Specter evidently owes someone in the democratic party a HUGE favor. For Bush, who he is kicking in the teeth, evidently had nothing to do w/ his reelection.
MEMO TO GOP: if you let this ONE DUDE, this ONE GUY STOP GETTING THE CONSERVATIVE JUDGES ON THE COURT AS PROMISED IN THE ELECTION YOU WILL SERIOUSLY TICK OFF THIS REPUBLICAN!!

Now wait a minute. What were his words, exactly?
It's entirely possible he said the President does not have a mandate to do XYZ. Or something similar. Let's not go crazy before we hear his full statement and his subsequent clarifications and his subsequent flip-flopping and the further clarifications to clarify the flip-flopping.
He's goat to go for TWO important reasons
Because he is an impediment to conservative judges reaching the bench
AND because an example needs to be made of him for other RINOS to see what happens if they start spewing their RINO BS
The spectre of Specter...
The example of a president who "had a mandate" ............Specter said FDR!
Why in the hell did he not say Ronald Reagan, if he was too Marxist to say George Bush 2004?
Slap the "D" label on him, force him to switch parties, and send him packing...and take Chafee and Hagel with you.
to defend spector a little,just a little,also blame the talk show for forcing the question twice,any guest would try to make the host lay off with a somewhat condesending answer..it would not have been asked by Fox news
This is double plus ungood. Not only does he not believe it, but his comments will bolster the Dems opposition. He needs to be no more than a back bencher on the committee to study migratory rodents.
If President Bush does not have a mandate, then who does? And if there is no mandate now, then what would be the conditions by which a mandate is declared?
Time to "Bork" him.
