I voted against Arlen but because of the support of Santorum and GW, as well as many democrats, Arlen won!!!! I don't blame Arlen for being goofy since I know Arlen is goofy. But I do blame Santorum and GW for supporting that a$$hole. Therefore, I have no choice but to vote against Santorum in November. And I would vote against GW if he could run again.
It is pathetic that these so called conservatives vote against the base so overwhelmingly on important issues like illegal aliens? As I see it, Teddy Kennedy is going to have his way no matter that we have given the republican party a majority of both houses and the Whitehouse. Might as well vote democrat and I probaly will. What's the difference???????
I haven't decided about Santorum. I heard him explain his reasoning about his support for Specter shortly after the election. His biggest reason was personal loyalty. While I may not agree with the motivation, I could probably look past it. Where I have my problem with Santorum is that he has evolved into a big government "conservative". So, I'll be listening and pondering during the campaign. If you look at his Senate voting record, however, he's got one of the higher conservative ratings. I doubt Casey will be that high. My decision will be whether to vote for him, vote 3rd party or not vote for Senator. I won't be voting for Casey.
Casey, btw, would have happily voted for this bill.
