Specter has been stopped. This battle is won. He will play ball. We need him to keep the liberal republicans on board. What we want now is composition of the committee. We want the numbers weightd 12-7 or 11-8 and we want conservatives. Specter needs to chair, he's come around and W wants to work with him. It's over.
No, it's far from over. Pressure is increasing.
Keep calling, everyone.
He is certainly smart enough to understand that he has been granted a stay of execution, and that he has the support of the people who matter. You're right. He will play ball.
Yes, it is. I don't like Specter one bit, but if you have your ear to the ground, you can hear it. He's in. We can only hope he's defanged.
You believe this? Specter has NOT come around. He is a charlatan. Please read Sowell's editorial at townhall.com He states in a very powerful and eloquent manner -- that in NO WAY should specter chair the Judiciary Committee. Specter will kill any chance for anyone to be appointed that believes in "original intent." Only a complete fool would believe Specter has come around. He has only given lip service. The most pressing matter is to make sure that vile and immoral specter doesn't chair the Judiciary committee. Bush will rue the day if he doesn't spend some of his "capital" to make sure Specter is repudiated. Hell, Specter shouldn't even be on any committee. Bush will seriously regret believing Specter has come around. I pray Bush isn't this trusting. Look what Kennedy did? Specter will to worse to our Constituion.
What assurances do you have that Specter is going to play ball?
