If Specter gets his Chairmanship, let's boycott Santorum in 2006 (A Threat)

Posted on 11/07/2004 3:05:58 PM PST by Remember_Salamis

We must make it perfectly clear to Rick Santorum that if he lets Specter chair the judiciary committee, we WILL NOT SUPPORT HIM in 2006 for Senate. Instead, we will support Pat Toomey.

We must also make it perfectly clear to Bill Frist that if he does not block Specter Chairmanship, he might as well not even enter the 2008 primaries.

Both of these men hold the power over Specter and we must threaten to boycott their futures if they ignore their base.

"Toomey would have cost the Republicans a seat in the Senate, as he could not have beat Hoelfel."

-- Remember the SC Senate PRimaries, when everybody said that we needed to nominate former Gov. David Beasley because DeMint was not a protectionist and Beasley was more moderate? Toomey would have Won! Conservatives did not show up to vote for Specter, but they would have for Toomey. And who knows, maybe with Toomey on the ticket more Republicans would have shown up to vote for dubya. The GOP went spineless in Pennsylvania last spring, and now they are paying for it.

"The time for that message in in 2006 and 2008, and in the primaries."

-- THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!!! FRIST is running for Presient in 2008, and we need to let him know that if Specter is nominated, the grassroots will remember.

Why don't you worry about Hawaii? You've got a couple of Dems there who deserve your attention.

Wanting to boot Santorum is the nuttiest thing proposed on this board in a very long time.

It would be incredibly stupid politically to actively try to get a sitting Senator from your own State knocked off of a committee chairmanship. You're the one that is crazy for suggesting this. You should be embarrassed.

Instead of selling the hot-dog, out of charity you should have told Kerry to fast and do penance for supporting the slaughter of the innocents on an unprecedented scale.

Specter is nothing more than a troll in the Republican party. Did you know his campaign in the primaries recruited democrats to come switch registration to vote for him in the primaries? I don't have a problem with a big tent, but I do have a problem with a man who does not believe in the core tenets of our party being in a leadership position.

LOL -- South Carolina is no Pennsylvania! Give us a break, please. How ridiculous to even try to make the comparison!

We = grassroots. And I'm not Hawaiian; I'm active duty military stationed out here (CA resident).

I know. I agree. But, his good outweighs this one brain fart. We need this man in the Senate. He always stands up for life.

Not as weird as so-called "Catholics" who support the massacre of millions of pre-born babies.

I was referring to your "boycott" Santorum position.

That's a legitimate political issue, as a power play, as regards Frist, though I doubt there's any cohesive group of Republican supporters that could make the case.

Dear SJackson,

Kosher, of course.

But I didn't actually see him eat it. You're right. Maybe I'm off the hook after all. ;-)

I'm only stationed in Hawaii. I'm a California Resident, like a large chunk of FReepers (and FR itself). You think you're smart looking at my profile don't you?

And I don't want to boot Santorum; I merely want to let him know that he cannot ignore his base. Is that such a strange concept.

I don't support abortion and neither does Santorum.

You're not his base. He could care less what you think.

Just threaten it jackass! Do you really want our elected officials ignoring the base??? You have to keep them honest.

Santorum supported abortion at least indirectly by publicly promoting Specter over a pro-life Republican.
