This deal was sealed when Bush and Santorum backed the wrong horse. Bush wrote his own epitaph for his would-be Judicial Revolution. I don't hate Specter...he is just being Specter. But Santorum sinned a great sin when he backed Specter--spitting in the face of pro-life Americans. Rick ought to be opposed in the next primary by Toomey.

Bush wrote his own epitaph for his would-be Judicial Revolution.I agree with everything you say, but wonder about this line. I've questioned whether Bush wants a Judicial Revolution at all--I maintain that he doesn't want one: never intend to have any such revolution, throw the conservatives red meat that is meaningless, then throw the blame all on Specter. But, on rereading, maybe that's what you mean by "would-be".

Oh, go ahead, hate Specter.
He talked the Clinton impeachment, and is, in general, a lying sack of excrement. He deserves humiliation.

Amen -- Bush and Santorum chose poorly and obviously did not have enough confidence in the party that it could win the seat with a conservative pro-lifer.
If you dance with the devil, you can't later complain about the tune!

"But Santorum sinned a great sin when he backed Specter--spitting in the face of pro-life Americans. Rick ought to be opposed in the next primary by Toomey."Simple penance.
Great post, btw.

I agree that Specter is a bad liberal and that Santorum made a mistake backing him but we can not turn on the good guys the minute they make a mistake. There is no one that I know of who is a better senator that Santorum or more pro-life and he needs support. Let the mistake be past. If I never voted for anyone who had not made a mistake I would not vote.

Agree. But don't the thought die here. Go to Santorum's web site and send him an email. Let him know how we feel:

It's pretty clear that in exchange for Santorum's support of Specter, Rick is being groomed for the republican nomination in 2008.
As evidence, I offer the fact that Santorum's face was prominent in the TV coverage of Bush taking the Oath of Office on July 20.
Camera angles like that don't happen by coincidence.
