Let's look ahead a bit. Specter is a louse, but he's our louse. We don't have a big enough majority to toss him and let him drag Snow, Chaffey, Hagle, Collins and the other "moderates". Specter has given a pledge to support the nominees of the WH. The President and Rove are willing to work with Specter so should we.
Absolutley, we can't kick him out of the Senate and what if the 4 or 5 other moderates decide they don't like how Specter is treated? What if they then decide to make trouble?
We do not have enough power to go on a witch-burning spree right now.
Knowing Specter's record, do you trust him to live up to his pledge?
In name only. Specter is nothing but a Democrat with an 'R' by his name. To hell with him.
The President and Rove are willing to work with Specter so should we.
Wrong. We didn't give Bush his mandate so he could squander it on Liberals and RINOs. Specter goes.
