Huh? No, I'm equating Rick's endorsement of Sphincter with Bush's endorsement of Sphincter; read it again.

Don't get me wrong, I like Santorum, whom I've met, but don't really know. He has a very good voting record. I can't stand Specter, whom I do know, and we ALL know what his voting record is like. I also like Jim Toomey - a lot. Like all politicians, Toomey has his warts, but for the voter willing to find out, he also has a voting record, and it's a helluva lot better than Specter's.

I've been a registered Republican for 31 years (since I was old enough to vote), but I'm a conservative first and a Republican second. I don't and never will go along with the party uber alles crowd (I guess I'm a Constitution uber alles kind of guy). If we Republicans don't insist that the party leaders take the same approach (find strong, CONSERVATIVE candidates well-grounded in basic constitutional principles and work to get them elected - even to the detriment of few RINOs), how can we possibly expect that anything even remotely resembling a conservative agenda come out of our government?

Specter has shown his true colors for the past 24 years and HE is certainly no party uber alles proponent. Santorum's a great guy and as close to a true conservative as there is the Senate, but he blew it on the Specter endorsement. A LOT of PA Republicans are pissed about it and I fear that he - and not Specter - will pay the price.

I was a lifelong democrat. I didn't actually meet a living republican until my junior year at Penn State.
I voted for Clinton the first time he ran. I really have no loyalty to the Republican party.
But, raising kids and getting knocked around in the business world has taught me to appreciate everything I have and what a special country we live in.
I now see Republicans as the best hope of preserving our freedom for my kids.
I'm confused that anybody pissed at Rick can make the country better by voting for Casey?

No .... because of the "true" conservatives .. it will be the people in PA that will pay the price

Why???

Because you "true" conservatives are mad

I hope you have better luck with Ramcat on this. Several have been trying to make this clear to him for sometime on this thread but to no avail.

//shuush// don't tell anyone but I think he is feeling inadequate as a voter and instead of getting a corvette or a new stereo with really big speakers he would rather attack those who are pointing out the week position Santorum finds himself.
