The bottom is really starting to fall out on this Miers nomination. Last one out, turn off the lights.

It is what I term the president's second faith-based initiative, which is `trust me,'" Santorum said. "I think, candidly, we deserve better than that."

Correct. Too bad you supported the RINO in '04 and are now going to lose your seat because of it.

"Too bad you supported the RINO in '04 and are now going to lose your seat because of it."

This time Santorum, the next time the other RINO-PA representative--the Scottish law expert.

Winning my support back.

...Democratic State Treasurer Robert P. Casey Jr. - who says he will wait until after the confirmation hearings to announce his position on Miers.

LOL...need I say anything?

“Faith and Trust Alone”
Because I have Faith in the President and that brings me to Trust his choice of Harriet Miers.
And that could be why some conservatives, consciously or unconsciously oppose her. Is be because she is a convert? I think if Harriet Miers is confirmed, she will be the only evangelical on the U.S. Supreme Court.

If I lived in PA I would be fighting for his defeat. Unless he wants to sign on to a new conservative motto, something like...No RINO's Never Again, for any reason.

If Santorum loses in 2006 it will be because the Philly papers have succesfully whipped up the black vote in Philly and that the democrat fraud machine is working as well as in 2004

[Txsleuth]

Gosh, and I though that Santorum knew what it felt like to campaign for someone, then have him basically stab him in the back....

I guess not.

Santorum pissed his seat away and now he is trying to drag others down with him. I wish Santorum the best. But, he is in for a tough fight and needs all the friends he can find, yet he burns bridges.

Sans-scr*tum is about as republican as michelle mooron

FYI...

Americans "deserve better" than President Bush's "trust me" approach to the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers, Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said Friday, making his sharpest critique yet amid a right-wing revolt over the pick.

Nice pair Rick...try to be that way consistently please.

[Txsleuth]

Ping....thought you would be interested in this...

[WestSylvanian]

Defeat Santorum so Bob Casey gets elected? Sorry, I'm going to vote for Santorum. If Specter croaks, Ed Rendell will replace him with a Democrat, probably from Philadelphia. Rendell is very unpopular in Western PA. If Santorum distances himself from Bush on immigration and out of control spending, he might have a chance to win. I don't want two 'Rats representing PA in the Senate so I'm voting Santorum.

...Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. - who declared he would vote against her....

Brownback already declared that he would vote against her, period, without even a hearing?

Hope not. Didn't think he was that much of a moron.
