Now for the report on your inane post:

You make the claim that Toomey was dead meat state wide because of the heavi democrat edge in registration, but then you turn right around and claim that is why Santorum is NOT in trouble. You seem to want it both ways.

Many, if not most or all, of Ricky's supporters backed Toomey. Many of even expected and accepted some mild level of endorsement. Ricky went all out for him. Now, whether you like it or not and whether you agree with our reaction or not, the reality is that WE ARE PISSED OFF and we will not support Ricky again.

Soooooo, in this state with a heavy registration edge held by his opponent's party, and never having won by substantial margins to begin with, and being abandoned by his disenchanted base, the only way for him to win is for the Dems not to turn out. This race is Casey's to lose.

Since you can't, don't, or won't see it, I'm here to point it out for you 18 months out from the election.

Are you willfully being blind and deaf to the numerous posts showing that Ricky doesn't vote with us as much as we think? Do you see the crap his supporting and proposing? It's pure socialism. he doesn't 'have' to do this stuff. He's doing it to buy votes with our money and our liberty. He's not doing this to be altruistic. Altruists use their own money. Government thieves do their good deeds with money taken from us at gunpoint and only do it to preserve their position and to increase our dependence on them. This has been Ricky's record of late.

Why are you missing this point? He's changed. He is not the same person that we sent to DC. He has Potomac Fever. All I want to do is see him get cured and that usually means leaving DC.

Again, you miss the point that we don't want Casey. We don't want a Democrat. We also don't want a Republican who has been behaving as a democrat and promoting socialism. WE don't want a big government socialist no matter what party label he wears.

I want him to step down and get promoted to some cushy job so that a trustworthy, conservative republican can win.

I have also made this point many times. A primary challenge would accomplish nothing and hurt Toomey in the long run.

Ricky is damaged and it's self inflicted damage. I just hope that he realizes that he can't win and gets out of the way in time or we will soon have 2 Democrat senators.

No, Santorum has a track record of getting votes, and getting votes from Dems crossing party lines.. Toomey doesn't... Toomey couldn't even win the primary of his own party, with a campaign that was basically "I'm not specter"... He was goose crap statewide in a general.

All of Santorums supporters did NOT back Toomey, if they had he would have won.. he didn't. The primaries in the Republican party always overrepresent the more conservative wing of the party, just like primaries for the dems overrepresent the radical communist wing of their party... and even with an overrepresentation of the far right conservatives Toomey still could not win his parties nod state wide... You again are just making false statements not based on reality but your feelings. Toomey did not have most or all of Santorum's supporters behind him.

You think a guy whos in the top 20% of conservatives in the Senate is damaged goods and bad for america, and should be tossed out of office, well then, there just really is no hope for ya. Cut off your nose to spite your face.
