See post #70. If Heinz and not Specter were in the Senate today, he’d be the most liberal RINO in the body. I’m surprised people have such short memories. He’s only been deceased since 1991.
I was only nine years old in 1991, I didn’t know or care about politics back then. Besides, I used to live next door to PA in Ohio, which doesn’t have a great GOP record either.
“The late Senator Heinz was another version of Arlen Specter.
Back in 1994, Theresa Heinz endorsed the liberal Harris Worford over Rick Santorum. Theresa claimed that her late husband would be rolling in his grave if a right wing extremist occupied his Senate seat.”
Theresa was not John, don’t confuse the two. She usurped his good name (and fortune) to promote her own agenda.
You can be somewhat liberal and love your country, just as (as we have witnessed today) an alleged conservative and sell it down the river. I happen to think John Heinz was in the former camp, and the clowns in the Senate today are in the latter. Which would you choose?
