Sit on THIS.. Arlen..

[Republican Wildcat]

Some people have the wrong end goal, though. That's what I'm trying to point out. Getting rid of Specter should not be the goal -- the goal should be to get good judges confirmed without threat of being blocked. Some have made statements essentially saying that if Specter stays and good judges make it through, that's worse than Specter going and good judges not making it through. It's warped.

I somehow doubt that would be the first time you have thrown your vote away on third parties, so why make a phony argument?

I love you throw-your-vote-away guys. The socialists and communists in America "threw their votes away" for decades until plank-by-plank the democratic party adopted their political platforms.

[TradicalRC]

It appears that the GOP is loosing the votes of those who have never supported them and never will. What a disaster...this could be as devastating to the party as when pat buchanan stormed out in a huff.

Buchanan never supported the republicans? Didn't he serve in the Reagan White house?

As for devastation, would that have been when Bush Sr. gave the oval office to Bill Clinton?

[TradicalRC]

Buh-bye!

[CWOJackson]

He was with Nixon from beginning to end. He was fired from the Reagan White House.

To be fair to his loyal supporters, he wasn't exactly fired. He started having difficulties with some of the newer speech writers (one in particular of the name Peggy Noonan) and ended up getting PROMOTED to a windowless office, no other staff, and no responsibilities.

He took the hint and resigned. He never did forgive Reagan or the Republicans after that, and in particular hates the whole Bush family.

[TradicalRC]

Nope, it's a quote from a Perry Mason novel. I don't have any gay bones in me.

However, Raymond Burr who played Perry Mason on TV WAS gay.

[TradicalRC]

Peggy Noonan is interesting. I read What I saw at the Revolution. It's funny how the guys she championed in that book went on to serve in the Bush white house. Most of whom ended up being disasters.

Lots of rank-and-file Republican supporters are angry over Specter. You obviously have no clue of Specter's nefarious and traitorous past. Unlike the historic 1994 election, conservatives aren't just going to sit back and hi-five each other and let the Republicans we elected return to RINO business as usual. We're involved and there's not a thing you or the establishment GOP hacks can do about it.

YOU'RE a rank and file Republican Mr. Brigadier? LMFAO.

This is typical forum B.S. The usual idiots set up a bogus brinksmanship event they are bound to lose, and all the subsequently and grievously victimized blame the GOP, RINOs, Bush and the rest. Yawn.

This Specter thing is just an early opportunity for the losers, Third Party mutants and chronic Bush-bashing trolls to retake the forum after four or five months of positive winning energy. Same old sheyatt.

"...what amounts to a parasitic growth..." is a BABY. You were once that self same "growth". Sorry, your ugly view of life is stomach turning.

Did Specter say that? How horrible. It sounds like a case of "projection."

[Robert A Cook PE]

You do understand that this "rape & incest" cause is less than 2% of arbortions?

Of the 40 million abortioned citizens and taxpayers and workers and consumers and mothers and fathers in the US since 1973, 98% were aborted because the "mother" didn't want satretch marks to interfere with her next date.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hah!

So ole Specter is having to "move right"to get re-elected:

Lifetime ACU rating = 43, but it went up in 2002 to 50, then up again in 2003 to 65!

[FreeReign]

Specter, who is an abortion rights moderate...

There is no middle ground on abortion. There is only pro-life and pro-abortion and Arlen is pro-abortion.

This Specter thing is just an early opportunity for the losers, Third Party mutants and chronic Bush-bashing trolls to retake the forum after four or five months of positive winning energy.

Nice way to characterize 95% of FReepers, Arne.

Yes Ma'am.
