I'm voting NO on Specter having even a sniff of the Judiciary Committee chambers.

Call the Capital Switchboard toll-free at 1 877 762-8762 and ask for the Senator or Congressman.

That Specter received donations from Soros spells it out plainly for all to see. Specter cannot be trusted.

He owes Soros as much, maybe more then he owes any Republican.

He will be swayed by his conscience and that is not good.

[Cedar]

I think the difference is obvious. Can you imagine Soros giving money to Senator Kyl's campaign or to Senator Sessions?

Never would he do that.

Specter holds something dear for the liberal Democrats, and Soros wanted to be sure Specter beat out Toomey.

[eeriegeno]

Half of a republican is not good enough!

[Delphinium]

In my experience a liberal Republican is nastier than a liberal democrat, and that is very nasty.

[Paul Ross]

Cooool! I scored "Hard-Core Conservative"!

[Paul Ross]

My 2 cents worth, but I’m concerned we end up looking like a bunch of knuckle-draggin’, mouth breathing nimrods.

It is irrelevant. That is the image painted by MSM irregardless of who GWB places in nomination, and how they wish to characterize us. Maragaret Cho's-mindset basically "rulez" at management suites of NBC, ABC, and CBS. The risks are greater of putting him in. Furthermore, you are really missing the danger Specter the Defecter poses for national sovereignty. His ICC position, his UN position, his flip flops on "hate crime" criminalization of various and sundry things, make it a "Bad Bet" to give him authority over appointments beyond his mere sitting on the Judiciary Committee. This man's torpedoing of Bork "Leading the Charge" and opposition to Jeff Session's nomination, and the very clear fuming threats made all during this year's campaign makes it clear...he intends to continue by hook or by crook the harm he has set out upon.

If we let Bygone be Bygones on this, hoping he has been "scared straight" we will surely be "screwed" within the year. You are entitled to your weak-sister opinion. But as for me, I will stand for a Constitution that is original, not debased under the phony euphemism of being a "living" Constitution. [I.e., judge-made distortions palmed off as Constitutional law ]. If your opinion prevails among the Senate GOP majority, then they will each share the blame for the failure to "hold the line" against a known enemy of the Real Constitution...as will you.

No more Bad Calls. No more Slippery Slopers.

[JesseHousman]

I don't like MacSpecter.

[blackdog]

Personally I think Specter is just the beginning. Senators are a real pile of crap which has a license to stink up the place for decades dressed up as a rose. What did it for me is the SEC issue of senators somehow beating the bubble and managing to double their investments every four years while telling the SEC they can't investigate the senate for insider trading. After all the SEC gets it's budget from the senate, as the senate told the SEC.

I'd like to see us go back to governors appointing senators from their home states for a term concurrent with the governor's seat. New governor, new senators. Automatic term limits too.

[JesseHousman]

Absolutely!

My parents live in Pa. and the topic switched to him the other weekend. They despise him. Also it turns out that when my flaming liberal Aunt was younger, she babysit little Arlen Specter. My Grandparents knew his family because they were good customers of the family business.

[Bonaparte]

Take a look at how Specter has voted in just this past year. He thinks Roe v. Wade was properly decided and should stand. He favors taxpayer support of international "family planning," including abortions. He has a lifetime ACU of 43 and even his high rating of 65 last year still falls far short of the "good conservative" minimum of 80. He's wrong for the SJC chairmanship.

"Rated 21% by NARAL, indicating a pro-life voting record. (Dec 2003)"

Wrong!
