In reply to your post #91:
I can see that you understand my reasons for not supporting Specter. He was expendable.
My animus towards Santorum is deeper than what appears on the surface. He won his seat in Congress by challenging the incumbent for many of the things that he himself is now doing. He is a hypocrite. He backed the pro abort liberal over the pro life conservative. He betrayed those who brought him to the dance when he had a chance to advance the causes that claimed as his. Why? Was it poor political analysis? Was is purely for personal advancement and to protect his seat?
I don't know. Neither is acceptable to me.
Despite the rantings and harrassment of that schoolgirl who has made me the target of his obsession, I have said that Rick CAN redeem himself in the eyes of PA's conservatives, but that it will take more than fancy words at fundraisers. It will take true leadership, action, and the proper votes on the issues that matter. What Ricky needs to remember is that people he has angered the most are the grassroots activists that he needs to get out the vote for him.
Without that support, he is in trouble if he faces a guy like Bob Casey Jr who is a decent, pro life, pro gun Democrat. PA IS a Democrat state that favors traditional values. Casey can win if Ricky doesn't make amends.
That is totally reasonable. Which I knew you would be, despite that realtively newbie poster who follows you around.
